We are all slaves to government. Business owner or wage slave. The only way out is to become a politically connected cantilionaire and leech off the state.

Something I posted on Twitter but I would be interested in perspectives here. I am not trying to be dramatic or undermine the true horrors of socialism, it is just how it feels.

"When calling the current government socialist, there are those who will laugh at the idea this because it doesn't meet the true definition of socialism, you know, whereby the state owns industry, blah blah blah.

This is why I call it the "New Face of Socialism" as the outcome is the same. If you are a business owner in the UK you are essentially a slave to government as high taxes and massive regulation reflect the same principles of socialism-wealth redistribution and centralised control of society.

If it helps, we can call it"Bureaucratic Socialism" or "Backdoor Socialism"...whatever you need to justify you voted in a bunch of commies. Life is so much easier if you admit you fucked up.

This is a hill I will die on...reject them all!"

This is really cool

As part of my personal #grownostr series to talk about my interests, tonight's topic is beer for all of my #beerstr fans out there.

I'm kind of a beer snob. I will mostly only drink craft beer, beers that I've never heard of or had before. I don't like all of the basic domestic beer at all. I'm not a poor college student. I don't need to drink something that's cheap and tastes like water or something that's cheap and tastes like skunk piss.

I love to visit microbreweries with my friends and family. I love to go on microbrewery tours with friends and family, visiting multiples of them over the course of a day or a weekend. I love to get flights of different beers and really dig into the style and flavor. I probably spend a bit too much time trying to pinpoint all of the hops or ingredients 😆 Anyways, the beer is great, but also I love the social experience too. I love conversing with people, I love taking in the different atmospheres. It fits my personality well.

I don't like IPAs. I will drink them to try them, because I like to try all of the beers, but I haven't found one that I said to myself "Wow, I need to come back here and get this IPA for a second time." That just doesn't happen with IPAs for me.

I am a dark, dank beer fan. I love all styles of stouts, from coffee stouts, to milk stouts, to irish, to American, to bourbon barrel aged stouts. I'm also a fan of Belgian dubbles and Belgian tripels. My go to will always be a darker beer of varying styles, but this can change due to the season.

Oktoberfest is one of my most favorite times of year. I'm a real snob here. I won't stray too far from the traditional German style Marzen or Festbier. I've never been to Munich, but I've always wanted to go. I actually had my flight and hotel for the 2020 Oktoberfest, but COVID-19 took that away. Oh well. I've been to dozens of local events over the past few years though. I love to dress up for these events too.

During the summer on our boat, I drink a lot of sours and hefes. These styles of beers during the hot summer days work best. I don't want to drink a heavy dark beer in the hot summer, while on the water. I'll take a lighter beer here, but I still need something with flavor. I'm not going to drink Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, etc. Now, that doesn't mean that I haven't drank them while I'm on the water. I won't turn down a free beer from a fellow lake friend.

I've never brewed my own beer, but it's something that I've wanted to do for many, many years.

I look forward to having a beer with you at our next Nostr event :)

So what’s the Tl;dr of what’s happening in Japan?

Wow, I’ve not lived enough I’ve only done 21 of these 😳😜

How many have you done?

Yep, but this primary filtering is failing now because people are trying to match the historical way of doing with the new understandings of gender.

It's not a useful separator anymore.

Sport categories should never be gender-based (men's and women's). It should be body-structure-based. Every sport should have an Open section for everyone and categories for separate body types. Gender is irrelevant in sports. Gender is only used today because of historical misunderstandings of what makes competition fair to the players. We know better. We should just get rid of gender-based categories and replace them with more specific and accurate body-type categories.

Women are not small men.

Who would actually comply even if they banned self custody.
