figuring it all out I appreciate your humor, insight, and your post whether or not I agree

So I was thinking of getting a Kindle E-reader (the kind that looks like paper) to be able to read books from Gutenberg.org.

And then I see this news. Any good alternatives? #asknostr

I bet that one is staying. Nobody minds pushing the espresso button and spraying whipped cream on top.

Or sometimes whip cream first and espresso on top.

The whole market is taking a dive

Arkb -1%

VOO -.5%

Nasdaq -1%

Perhaps it's jitters about bomb threat on plane? German election worries? Idk.

Stocks have to become Cryptos. I know people are going to misunderstand this... Bracing for the "Reee!"

Stocks and corporations are basically criminal activities at this point. It was already bad before these dark pools existed, but now it's just blatant. Public entities must must must be transparent. A corporation is a public entity. There must he oversight - and only fully transparent and public oversight can fix corruption.

What we need is verifiable supply, and we have to make dilutive stock issuance illegal for any publicly registered corporation. We need to cut out the middle men - no more market makers. How do you do that? Make #stocks #Cryptos, and trade them on #liquid. It will never have the perfect game theory that #bitcoin has, but we only need that in bitcoin.

Liquid, IMO, is made for this. All stocks should move onto Liquid. We should have full control of our portfolios secured by #Jade or any other singing device.

We don't need brokerages. They are middle men, taking a cut for the service of coordination - but they're obsolete.

Obviously, no stocks make sense as an investment while bitcoin is monetizing. But there will be a point where they will make sense again. After #hyperbitcoinization

Frankly, idk how the US can continue to call itself a free country, while most "free market" activity is hidden from the public and only accessible to a minority class of investor. The masters of this giant slave pen... There really is no metric left by which we can measure this nation and call it "free." Its not. And I'm pissed off about that.

Nooo Patrick.

I will not show empathy.

Ya got what ya deserved.

Just now realized .7bitcoin was around 10k at some point between here and there so Patrick should be doing OK. The company has been in business at least since 2021

And I actually really like what she built. It's like a swiss family Robinson style where the kitchen is on one level hanging inhe trees of the side of the hill, and cabin is hanging on another level.

It's hard to know who puts out the bad vibes. Also I'm guilty of my own bad vibes.

Just yesterday for example, someone asked "Why do you hike up the mountain every day"

My answer" because I don't have anything else to do".

Then I could see on their face the immediate reaction to my complaint.

Instead of me focusing on how much I enjoy the view from the mountain, all I could focus on was the fact I don't have kids and too much time on my hands and no personal projects to work on because I'm a renter and a traveler.

So today I'm making a list of everything I need to feel empowered again:

I need a grill to just cook basic things at home.

I like to look over at the ocean 40 miles away and think about parking a catamaran sail boat on the beach. But then if I don't have any follow thru, I get frustrated.

So I need to figure out how to ship things like small boats to El Salvador.

My favorite part:

>identities that people create to cover their own lack of discipline: e.g. "I'm an empath. I walk into a room and I feel everybody's emotions."

"No, you have poor boundaries. You're not special, you're getting slapped in the face by everything. Put a helmet on, grow up."

Hah, I need to write this one on the mirror.

And it's soft and sweet-smelling!

i just had a comical experience with #mochi the #catstr just now

i put out some of these char grilled beef chunks for him to eat, and the window was open and a bunch of noisy buzzy bumble-flies came in and started harassing him because meat

he fully freaked out over the flies, to the point where he was retreating to the stairs to hide from them while i was trying to locate and eliminate these pieces of shit fucking hate these things also

me and mochi have a lot in common, two things being high sensory acuity

his is typical to the species but he is sick at the moment so like me he is also irritable

yes, the main reason why i'm so bitey and jumpy is because i'm sick, and congrats, assholes, because this means i'm even more determined than ever in my life to purge your shitty arses from existence like i did to the two stupid bumble flies

not necessarily by killing you, that would be a bit weird and excessive, when i can just shut you out

and if it was my property, this cottage, it would have insect screens on every window yesterday, and there would not be flies

we get a few mosqquitoes here, but not many, idk why, probably because it's a bit too cold for their life cycle, but there is some, and they are very annoying when they show up to bug me when i'm sleeping, and leave their injection wounds all over my exposed skin

it was just funny as hell tho, i mean, sad, again, to watch the cat being distressed but funny also because his behaviour was so sympatico to my own feeling towards these pests

me and my mochi are gonna make our own little space in the world, and he is so sympatico to me that he is helping me focus on the important things that make the biggest impacts

you may think it's just some livestock but cats are so intelligent that they can be something even more connected than even dogs emotionally

he learns things so fast, that i just say words now that i have trained him to associate with places and parts of my body and bam he's on it like lightning, when i say his name, and he is asleep, he wakes up and ears point at me and sleepy eyes look towards me

i have a special affinity with cats, i think, because i have top percentile sensory acuity, inherited via my mother's family line

this round of learning how to live with one, which i have aspired to having a cat for a long time, is really coming full circle though, he's teaching me as much as i am teaching him

Screens are scarce in some parts of the world.

Here in El Salvador as well, there are no screens. Thankfully the mosquitos just seem to enjoy my warmth but don't bite, and a bat flies in once or twice a night to eat a few of them.
