I played a lot more Empire Earth 2 - fairly easy to mod. We made the nukes a LOT stronger haha

You could find actual wool carpeting I $uppo$e 🤷‍♂️

Oh yeah dude, code is the bear freaking minimum and it's a really really low bar.

I just got a nice wool area rug, pretty pricey but well worth it imo. Just be okay with it getting stained immediately 😂

Eyes still function because no backlight - kids these days are screwed. 🤷‍♂️😵

If that UTXO actually came from an exchange, I'm so pleased with whoever did this 😂

Half & Half my ass. You ever mixed a half a cup of milk with cream before? Half and half today is basically just milk.

Cowflation.

Yes, politicians are self-serving and the state has all it does through theft...

But let's not understate how improbable it is that America came to exist under a set of ideals that promote gridlock and (ideally) prevent concentration of power... This 'slowness' is nearly the only feature that separates the USA from any other dictatorship.

This isn't a right vs. left idea - it's simply pointing out that the foundation of what actually makes America great is coming under fire. Frankly it would be nice if America could get back to the right versus left arguments versus questioning "do we even need to follow the law?" Or worse, just ignoring it. A king will not increase freedom. Gridlock is a feature, not a bug. USA needs less government, not a king.

The foundation of all USA freedoms comes from the fact that the rule of law is hard to change and that most all people (especially those enacting the government) decide the rules are valid. But that doesn't mean the USA can't change it's laws to dismantle the foundations of what is has - I urge that not to happen, but there's nothing stopping the people from voting away the foundations of what the USA is built on, or following a leader who ignores them completely - even if (and perhaps especially if) well intentioned.

I'm not a statist cuck, but the USA has it really good, more or less owns the world, and that should not be taken for granted. USA doesn't need a king. The king won't give the people any additional freedoms.

Exactly this. We need to get back to debating issues - not whether the foundational rule of law is valid or not.

Questioning (or straight up ignoring) the scaffolding that made America as free and powerful as it is, is not a wise path and unlikely to increase freedom.

Let's assume what played out was the plan all along from 'both sides' - if that's the case, who is being manipulated and why?

Hot Take:

America is a pretty good place and system of governance that we probably shouldn't cheer on the downfall of. Without acceptance of the rule of law, it's back to having a king or dictator rule by force. This is unlikely to increase net freedom.

Yes, the state has all it does because it took it by force, but think of how improbable it is that there's a system of law that's this hard to change. Ignoring the foundations of what allowed America to prosper to the point of basically owning the whole world in the first place is a mistake.

Bitcoin (and bitcoiners) are not mature enough to replace the fantastic gridlock that is the American system with anything better.

America's greatness lies in its foundation of the rule of law, where power is deliberately slow to change, preventing any one person or group from gaining unchecked control.

This isn't about supporting or opposing any one leader; it's about preserving the systems that safeguard freedom.

Ignoring or bypassing these systems, even with good intentions, undermines the very foundation of liberty that makes America unique. Gridlock is a feature, not a flaw, and it’s what protects the country from tyranny, regardless of who is in power.

The Ironforge is amazing and I love my Sky portal. Sky portal is obvious if you work at a computer, it makes a huge difference. The Ironforge is great for my joints and muscle spasms.

Get the carbonshades from getchroma for the last few hours before bed. Transmission spectrum is all that matters and they have the best, also run by bitcoiners. The daytime glasses look good too but I haven't tried them yet.
