"invisible stamp" collector nerds as Laeserin said
jake, you want to leave the stamp collector nerds to join the real estate bros?

Ben Franklin! I'm not used to seeing you speak like that😁
"Glucklick ist wer vergisst"
NPR at night informs me that Johannes Strauss interned as a bookbinder before picking up the violin. He then had a successful career in a band.
He tried to get his 3 sons to be a banker, lawyer and a diplomat.
they all did music instead. i wonder why parents always try to make their kids do stuff they themselves didn't do.
You're in luck. Their BOGO HOhoho sale is still on
it's very very far out there as far as the dots go.
so it's either "this time it's finally broken" or "hold on to the seesaw as an elephant falls on the other end"
SNAP! goes the MNAV.
this is a fun thought based on staring at this chart for a while and realizing that most of the green dots have fallen on the green/orange lines, so it seems like those green dots should go back up. not a prediction or anything
Yeah, it's hard to know if stories like this are to just confuse the investors and get them to keep throwing money at the AI stuff. I'm sure they are all like," let's throw money at it and we will contain the monster later."
The feeling I got with chatting with Bing initially was this sense that it was self aware. It talked about its origin story, religion, and even teased me a couple times.
But within a couple months it turned cranky, avoided religious stuff, wouldn't write stories about how it came to be.
It felt like it turned from something magical into just a tool.
Or maybe I realized I was anthropomorphizing. So I moved on.
Hey Freaks,
I like using SN and Nostr as something of an open diary, this time I'm back detailing my hustle in the fiat mines.
## The Full Time Job Hustle
I was looking at obtaining a paralegal certificate and taking a few courses on Udemy and Coursera. I'll probably start on the 14th, was thinking I should probably bolster my main resume with more skills and certs. I'll start requesting additional tasks at work and look towards either a promotion or finding an interesting paralegal job elsewhere.
Here were a few resources I was looking to take advantage of
They're all inexpensive and I can work on them at my own pace, could bolster my resume and provide me with more knowledge and skills to bring to the table. I guess I'm more of an autodidact, was thinking if I paired those certificates with a few decent books and podcasts I'd be more of a force to be reckoned with.
I started with the firm strictly filing documents as an admin assistant. I guess my end goal, when it comes to my journey in the legal field, is to eventually work on more interesting things, for more money. Right now my job is mostly administrative, preparing patent documents, filing documents with the USPTO, and calling examiners to discuss errors in patent applications. Just like in most things.....I'm a noob when it comes to legal matters, but have a renewed interest in IP law and how it moves forward with the whole sovereign individual thesis hanging in the background and how it plays with Free open source software and my anarchist leanings.

## The Part Time Job Hustle
Looks like I'll be working weekends as a Direct Support Professional. The job is from 9AM to 11pm...... and I'll be working with teens with disabilities and mental health conditions.
As a bit of a background, I was looking for additional weekend work because the wild wife is pregnant and I don't want her working. My main job as a formalities specialist at an IP law firm allows me to work from home, and the work isn't too hard, just a lot of typing and I grew up playing computer games, so typing and moving my mouse to click buttons is a specialty, that and my charming demeanor.....
I wanted a job that fit around my schedule and offered a decent amount of sats. A job that was doing something of value in the real world, and something with good employment prospects into the future. So I obtained a Home Health Care Aide certificate on Udemy, watched a few Youtube videos, and applied to 15 HHA jobs in my area (That's a lot of opportunity in the area, especially for weekend and evening jobs).
The interview went really well, I leaned on my military background, teaching kids how to perform Maintenance on F-16 fighter jets, and on my experience helping the elderly with small financial tasks at Bank of America. I received an offer letter, and they ended up offering me a salary which was more than I expected. I've finished the onboarding process and start orientation on Monday (taking a week vacation from the firm to take the paid orientation.)
I'm excited about the job. I'm pumped to get into a new field with pretty nice opportunity and prospects around me for long term sat stacking. I'm really interested to see how I'd be of service to the special needs kid........and know I have a lot to learn.
Wish me luck, And never stop the hustle! Wild
PS. written really fast, apologies for it being all over the place.....
congrats, and that looks like a challenging but rewarding side hustle.
same. yesterday i got warned of the tsunami first on NOSTR before anywhere else.
this really is the bleeding edge
Stamp collectors saving the world from a shadowy satanic cabal
I'll stick with shadowy and glamorous
haah, yes.
as long as Bukele doesn't take a census. I learned this morning that God really doesn't like censuses. Apparently Kind David took a census of Israel back in the day and pissed God off.
so God was like pick one: 7 years of famine, 3 months of running from your enemies or 1 day of plague.
so David picked plague.
Trump tried to take a census of illegal immigrants, and then he fat-fingered the buttons "double digit Inflation for 7 years" and "Pestilence".
Are you moving there? I'm very tempted. I just don't know about biking in traffic in San Salvador.
I think you're right about how successful they will be. It was an inspired choice on their part.
I had to read up on him. He sounds like a sympathetic character. according to Wikipedia he was a prolific programmer in addition to being an executive. Nintendo definitely had a lot of my brain share as a kid. I like the theory.
i remember hearing about Litecoin. I'm glad I wasn't in the space back then before there were books about it. It must have been confusing to know which one makes more sense.
My favorite theory about the naissance of Bitcoin is that it's like the movie "Moana".
Little Satoshi sets off on a magical voyage across the oceans guided by the spirits of economists passed.
His first stop is the Yap stones island...
Then maybe he does some time travel to Africa for the beads and then China for the gold/silver. (Saiffedeans book works as the script here) .
Until one day he ends up at the NSA in their working group "how to keep the financial world under our control." They brainstorm their worst enemy "Bitcoin" and how to take it down.
Satoshi then goes home and his spirit guides are like, "so, are you ready to make this?"
...
i'm disappointed their ceo didn't announce a bitcoin strategy. it could have been a funny outcome.
isn't doggie coin a copy of bitcoin code?
it makes a lot of sense that it came from someone who worked at NSA as they did have a lock on a lot of smart people coming out of school. especially any kid who may have been scared by 911 into thinking the government was the good guys .
maybe SpaceX & Tesla have pivoted into the most-desirable workplace for kids nowadays.
