Got it. It's a tough road for most. Not terrible for us. We have to be able to have real conversations about this without the offense lobby losing its collective mind in exchange for hits on social media.

My son sent me one clip of some high functioning woman acting outraged that she was being marginalized. I had to explain to him how he is in the minority of people with autism and a conversation about how to help the rest is totally valid. He of course didn't realize that 50-70% of people on the spectrum are at the low end.

good analogy. Safety is a mind poison that makes people irrational. You can probably guess where he fell on vaccines.

I'm in principle opposed to custodial services, with rehypothecation being the primary concern, but I completely get why people would be likely to do it.

they never left earth's atmosphere.

yeah, but he's one of my best friends, and I want to see him make it.

It's only going to last about 5 weeks. Then they have to go out to the new duck shed and their pen. We can't have full grown ducks in the house. They are mucky.

I think he should just sell the whole thing and just buy bitcoin. Considering bitcoin's cagr, he will rcoup the penalty in no time, and he will hold the bitcoin himself.

I got it all done in 2 weeks. Then it only took me about 10-13 months back in 2018 coming off the Dec 17 ath to cover the costs. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it was very worth it so I could self-custody. I think he's scared of that as well.

keeping them. they are egg layers.

They really are. They'll be a handful later.

I live in rural Texas outside of Dallas where at least half the people were done by June 2020.

don't you when you're committing suicide?

yeah, to misbehave.

It looks like my friend who was actively working converting his 401k to a bitcoin IRA is chickening out. 🤦

This is after telling me he knew I had "done well" since 2018. I said, "look man, it's either bitcoin or a CBDC dollar." He knows exactly what the latter means, but damn, "safety" will probably defeat this new mental model.

It's heartbreaking to watch.

We have to tell him that every day or he bites our feet. The truth is that the our siamese is more handsome than this guy. Unfortunately, he refuses to have his face on the Internet, so I can't really prove it.

fortunately I think the average person is figuring it out, at least here in the US.

😆 oh, man. probably so true. The funny thing is is that he won't be able to handle this gaggle once they are adolescents. The will be stuck together like glue and won't be putting up with cat nonsense.

haha. yep.

He wants so badly to go to bed, but we are still up.

He also wants to go in the duck room by himself, but he is not allowed.

no curiosity is right, but they are also leaning on the bought and paid for pharma studies when they say correlation doesn't mean causation. Look, they say, the studies show no connection, without thinking critically about the studies.

how so?

🤔

It may also a way for those behind epatein to show they are still very active.

Maybe she'd be alive if Trump released the docs.

sure she did.

yep. Hey I'm curious about the spelling of your sauvignon blanc.

the thing the vax makers didn't count on was that most people actually care about their children, and the idea that pharma hates to release safety data and gets indemnification pisses off a lot of people.

I don't refuse to believe when I see the evidence of normally developing children who suddenly stop developing after either the 18 mo vaccine panel or the 3 year panel. Many many reports of this, which I saw firsthand.

But it is right to demand investigations and accountability and for parents to think very carefully before they vax their kids.
