I'm slacking in a red leather chair as I type this.
Yes, we are all going to be badasses, smoking cigars with leather chairs in rooms that look like this:
I hold to the view that it will be a slow decentralization century just like it was a slow century of centralization since 1920.
But on day 1 of a Bitcoin standard(for individual if they adopt first, or citizen of a Bitcoin country) the life starts improving.
I just realized this morning how horrible this inflation is. It's a reverse compound interest for the poorest wage earners and pensioners.
And then the sales/property tax is compounding on top of the inflation!
I always thought it was cool how people still read the Sueddeutsche Zeitung in 2015. I used to deliver it to people's houses at 4am. Even young people used to read the paper.
Maybe that's not so great anymore...
Crazy how much influence money can buy. And people just tacitly understand the demands.
i was thinking about this. with the 4 year delay, bitcoin became finally ready for a Trump presidency with Art Laffer in his ear to really take off on a sound money standard.
or were the good times just unnecessarily delayed 4 years?
a friend in Germany tells me that she's worried about the direction of the country because far right wing forces are becoming more powerful. She even mentioned 1945:
"a new party has been established here that is clearly right-wing, that makes no secret of it and describes itself as right-wing radical. It is partyly being monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. It's a party that wants Germany to leave the EU, in which no foreigners are tolderated. Germany had something like that before, until 1945."
are these just scare tactics of a left-leaning media/government who are losing power?
i always heard the adage home price = 2X annual salary of the people who life there. I suppose with really low interest rates that could go up to 3X.
someone told me 6X at one point in 2020!
i just don't see where all the people who can afford such houses are coming from. so IMO, the house prices in most places will all have to fall relative to median income.
love him or hate him, he had authenticity. he recently said "the kind of people you just want to smack in the ass" :-D
centralized cable TV finally losing power to the podcast hosts is a wonderful thing to behold
powerful story, thank you for sharing. I'm in awe of the power of Jesus.
it does speak well to His cause that he seems to have such a good influence on people! having children really does seem to be the ultimate end of man...
actually i've heard a catechism that "man's chief end is to glorify God", but interesting that God would then reflect that back into encouraging man to have a family.
in my case, i'm mid 30s, and I'm taking some steps to shed my old skin and change my culture. i don't know if that results in marriage or just "permanent bachelor" status as a gay guy coming out of a relationship and straightening my ways to the catholic doctrine. i felt called to do that. not sure about further instructions
Isn't there a proverb about how a new product has to be 10 times better than the old one for it to be adopted.
Nostr feels 1000 times better to very few people who appreciate lack of censure and frontier internet.
However for many people's uses it's not better, it's probably worse right now.
Right now it's best use case is the secret society of the Nostr.
But this Amethyst app is really beautiful.
I prefer the Craigslisty feel of Coracle. I wonder when Craigslist will incorporate Nostr. That would be cool. And then Facebook marketplace so i could have some trust with the people I'm buying stuff from.
Ahahaha, yeah I'm surrounded by Harris signs. However, the lack in of signs at 60%of the houses speaks even louder IMO

did you come back to your college sweetheart 10 years later when you stopped chasing ideals?
let's hear it
good reminder for me to buy some more canned sardines and cod...
