Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen buddhism (aka Zen, zen meditation, etc), meditated for 9 years just looking at a wall.
9 years looking at a wall.
Good things take time. Don't be afraid of taking your time. Forget what Western society has told us. Take your time. Stare at a wall for 9 years until you understand what you need to understand.

If you go Brasil you'll see much more mingling and mixing.
The US is truly not a good barometer of that kind of integration.
The UK culture was never the best at integrating, like for example the Portuguese culture in Brasil. The Portuguese culture (Catholics) was much more lax with the race separation and thus you have more mixing. The British was more about separating, creating reserves, spots of this and that, etc.
The US is not the world, just because something happens somewhere doesn't mean that's a set truth. And the same everywhere.
White only racist culture will also fail because individuals will put superflous things above the meaningful things. And that always results in failure.
Culture and philosophy above everything else. Content of character is the value.
How do we know exactly what people think though? There's millions of people, all with their stories. Not everybody will think the same. Even if we had several referendums, it would take a bunch of them to precisely define what people actually think. Especially when it comes to races because of their inherent subjectivity.
And I'm not trying to be oppositional or conflictive. Everybody is entitled to their perspective. If some people want a white only country, I'm cool with that, that's their thing.
I just think that's not the actual problem. That's the only thing. I think it's deeper than genetics.
I think philosophy and culture is what really matters, not genetics.
But does it really matter though? Isn't the culture of the individual truly what matters?
Would you rather be neighbors with a black classic liberal, libertarian, family guy, that is respectful and hard working and couldn't care less about race or a white marxist that believes you're guilty of being white, and if you have money, of having money, and is just generally a pig?
Because I think most people don't care about this at all. And it's just this marxist racist movement that really pisses people off, because it obviously uses the state apparatus to go against white people (and more specifically the ones that don't agree with them obviously ahah).
Because the reality is I think nobody really knows what white really is. For example, are hispanics white? The reality is races are obviously a social construct because we don't know where the lines are. And as any physical characteristics, more and more, completely irrelevant, because of machines, etc.
Interesting. Do you think the majority of white people really wants to keep the majority of the US white or is it something that they're like, I don't care just don't use the state apparatus to make me feel that being white is wrong, somehow and somewhere?
It's the Americano of Portugal. Maybe you'll like it! Just ask for an "abatanado" and they'll put water in the coffee and a bigger cup (like a tea cup).
Yeah. The inequality is truly mind blowing.
All comments on this thread failed to suggest a decent note-taking app that isn't super convoluted.
I used Telegram as a way to quick jot notes for future use, reminders and whatnot, but I am trying to move out of that, so I started using https://simplenote.com/, but what a weird app. It logs me out if I don't use it for like 2 days, I don't like the fact that it has these titles because I don't need titles, I just need a place to paste content, and also it's not chronological like Telegram messages but also I can't reorder the notes as I wish, they are shown by most recent updated first, which is weird.
Anyway, all of that was ok if it wasn't for the weird syncing issues that started to happen recently: it takes sometimes hours for updates made in one device to be synced to other devices, I don't know, it looks like their server is broken or something.
I don't know why I'm writing this note anymore, but I think we could easily have a note-taking app with private notes writing to private relays on Nostr.
Logseq is the best in my view.
It seems like Wrapped Bitcoin can be verified. The WBTC is on the World Liberty ETH contract:
https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0x5be9a4959308A0D0c7bC0870E319314d8D957dBB
It would be just a matter of confirming Trump's transaction on WBTCs Bitcoin addresses. It seems like WBTC Bitcoin can be verified.

Well, it does seem like it's verifiable. They have both the ETC & Bitcoin addresses. One would just need to track the Trump transaction in both addresses to confirm if his Bitcoin did move.

Well, it does seem like it's verifiable. They have both the ETC & Bitcoin addresses. In that case Trump would've indeed bought 40M Bitcoin.

It seems WBTC (wrapped Bitcoin) is verifiable Bitcoin. So yes, Trump in principle did indeed buy 40M Bitcoin.

This is exactly type of conversation I hear when I get in a average joe coffee shop or bar anywhere in the world really. It's all bipolar stuff without any rationality. And then they repeat it to each other ad infinitum.
There must be some Bitcoin there somewhere.
Ah yeah, that's also very very likely! It really seems like it :D
I think it's really important and most likely intentional that Trump didn't talk about Bitcoin.
He's surrounded by Bitcoiners, they all know that they would be front run and end up paying 2x or 3x the Bitcoin price.
The way to go is to prepare the trigger perfectly so that somehow they don't get front runned by China or Russia.
The other thing is, this is fundamental to give ordinary people the time to investigate, think and then buy some Bitcoin.
This is probably the best thing that could've happened to Bitcoin right now, in my view.

Bitcoin is going down. And that's a good thing.
It gives ordinary people much more time to actually think about things.
Europe will only get poorer in the next years because everything is illegal and politicians have almost completely centralized power.
Everybody is trying to conquer these reigns of power.
By the time change starts happening, the streets are destroyed and the productive people are living somewhere else.
