Amongst the plains tribes, one way a warrior or family could attain higher status was by being generous to others.

I just spent a little time reading some of my old notes/conversations from over a year ago. I highly recommend it.

I could feel the excitement and hope in every conversation. I could sense the pure joy of finding an outlet for my thoughts and the new feelings of “belonging”, that I had never felt on the internet before. Blowing up threads with new found friends, having a laugh, taking ourselves too seriously, and then not seriously enough.

Nostr is still that place, but as time has moved forward and Ive become used to something, I think I have taken for granted just how special the people and the protocol are.

Friends, it’s been a trip, and that’s the only thing I want out of life.

And you didn’t even have to fund the client to do it!

That would be helpful. Over the past year and half I’ve read many notes about how excellent it is, and game changing, but I’m still not exactly sure why? I’ve “highlighted” a few paragraphs from a few articles to try and figure it out but that’s as far as I’ve made it.

😂😂

I think Ontario declared a state of emergency and closed the schools wtaf!

Thanks! I love Seikos. Any particular style that you’re looking at? Dive, field, dress, or sport watch?

I think one of the teeth wings k miss most is going to a concert without any phones.

Maybe older people were saying the same thing about drive ins…….damn it! I’ve turned into that old dude at the post office!

We are the last ones, eh? The last generation to know life without the internet.

Ah, yeah! We spent a lot of time burning gas where I grew up. Not much else to do.

Always……well mostly 😂

Number up = wealth for bitcoiners up = political influence up

There’s some nuance in there for most people.

Don’t let those things stop you….I got you to climb a tree once….

Prudhoe Bay Alaska down to the tip of Argentina in Ushuaia

I’d do the Dempster highway again, while I was up north. One of our best trips.

Drive the Pan American Highway, is one that comes to mind.

China is an untested superpower without real-world wartime experience with modern weapons, modern warfare, and modern intelligence.

Russia is the only real threat to the United States.

Russia never wanted to be that. The US rejected their desire to join NATO, sabotaged Putin's relationships with Chirac and Shroeder. In fact it was probably the joint veto of the US iraq war (Russia + France + Germany) in the UN security council that made the US dead-set on isolating Russia from Western Europe. People always mention NATO expansion, but there was a lot of other moves the West pulled, such as withdrawing from the ABM treaty, putting Aegis defense systems in Poland and Romania (to defend against Iran? bullshit), etc, of course most recently the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline. The US sabotaged Russia's desire to be friends with Europe countless times and forced Russia into the only move it had left - to build itself up militarily, in as much isolation as America could create for it. But it wasn't supposed to succeed god damnit! The Americans fucking *HATE* that Russia actually economically grew so much and militarily developed so god damn much over such short time. And they *hate* that their sactions didn't work, that they can't just make the world dance at their whim anymore. The Americans reliably play their hand like absolute dicks, and I'm glad their gambits fail. Fuck the Americans (I'm talking about those in power, not you guys. I love you guys).

I don’t think they hate that the Russians have developed so quickly. It provides them with the perfect “enemy” to justify their expansion of nato, the sales of weapons of warfare, and justifications for the expansion of the state. It’s actually probably exactly what they want.

Beauties! One of my faves. Pearl Jam was the soundtrack for many of my memories growing up. It’s funny, I’ve been listening to them non stop since you asked for 90s requests 🤙. Songs are taking me places I had forgotten about. Some good, some bad, but all beautiful. Man, growing up in the nineties was the shit.
