Besides flat screen TVs, what else has deflated over the last decade?

This is nostr, you don't have to copy paste something someone else wrote you can just share their note.

Everyone is going to see what you're doing anyway.

“For now”

4 babies in… Should we keep going? What the vibe on children out there?!

While you came from poverty now you are rich and your lived experience is different from people still struggling in poverty. Poor people simply cannot afford to have children.

I agree with you and disagree. My fiance doesn’t want children. I am indifferent. And what I’ll say is - if you want to see things improve. Fewer people having kids is a net positive. Think of it like one step back to take two steps forward, if we don’t eff it up before then.

Sounds weird to apply to reproduction - but we desperately need to take a step back and rediscover ourselves.

So don’t be mean to those that are just here temporarily. Just let em be. Just focus on laying the groundwork for others to not repeat our mistakes.

The goal should be to make housing so affordable that you move to a 20-year mortgage. Having to offer 50-year mortgages is a sign that things have gone terribly awry.

"Sign the line here, in half a century you'll own your house outright!"

Laughably out of touch.

Marriage and family is essential for a full and happy life. You don’t want to end up like this person.

Spent the last weekend with my based 102 year old grandmother at our family reunion

We were all celebrating the 1 yr anniversary of orange-pilling my cousin (okay only I was)

Family keeps getting better 🧡

I like the first part of your argument even though i disagree. It seemed we're playing with different definitions of if a god or what god is.

This is the danger with organized religious thought, no clear agreed upon definitions because it not about understanding it is simply another tool used by those who wish to control.

Some very interesting conversations could be had trying to define god, gods or a god like process/systems/fields.

I see only very destructive outcomes from the current modern use and definition of god by all organized religions. As they prey upon our vulnerabilities and amplify the worst aspects of our species.

Your last sentence is incorrect.

Yes the universe began in a state of maximum order/minimal entropy and inevitably increases entropy with time, but there can be no act of creation that does not continue this process. We can create small pockets of entropy minimized zones, but we are externalising the cost into other regions. Intelligent design can not reduce entropy. (I hate this fact)

Knowing the battle is impossible but choosing to fight it anyway, could be a good definition for humanity.

Evolution he is incredible.

If Gold stays the same price, Bitcoin needs to reach $228k to set an new ATH in Gold.

Do you think we get that this year?

I was at the Courthouse with the Palisades fire suspect was set to have a hearing. There were cameras there. They were only slightly titilated by the suggestion that they were there for my stupid bullshit.

In any case, The sattelite photos of the fires starting showed multiple fires in distant locations starting at almost the same time.

Seems unusual for it to be the work of one guy.

I can be irritating. But I think the way I irritate people most consistently is taking a position on something and the acting in accord with that position—consistently.

Has your life gotten better since January of this year?
