"Do you not realize I have had diarrhea since Easters?" 
I agree. And tax churches already.
Goddamn this Laker game is weird

They are calling this 'painting' of the street a hate crime. Three were charged after the rainbow crossing was defaced. But I wonder how many were charged when the road was defaced by the rainbow crossing?
Any symbolism that inflames tensions is by definition divisive, irrespective of your position on what that symbolism means. Divisive symbolism should not be publicly funded. That inclues crucifixes, 10-commandment tablets, stars of david, swastikas, rainbow pride flags, all of it. Not only is it a stupid use of public funds, it is inappropriate for public funds representating ALL OF US to be divered to support only SOME OF US. This crossing should be a black-and-white zebra crossing like all the other NZ crossings are.
Previously I complained to my representative about the Human Rights Commission adverting on their website using public funds submitted by all of us asking us to vote a particular way on an upcoming referendum. They were not even pretending to be neutral.
All that being said, I have no problem with rainbows or LGBT people. This is about how public funds need to be spent in neutral ways. What if all the tax money America collected went into the Joe Biden campaign? Something wrong with that, right? Same issue here.
Your other examples are of institutions that have historically been behind a lot of violence and hate. I get your point but religion and Nazis have les to a lot of turmoil compared to gay folks so I don't think they're necessarily comparable. I agree with your overall point but kinda a poor set of comparisons to get it across effectively
I'm surprised BTC and Monero aren't more closely associated in terms of folks that believe in the technology. I understand that monero has less store of value but it seems to make more sense in terms of transactions while BTC more as a store of valut
So grateful for the incredible friends and family I have. I wouldn't be able to make it through this without such a solid support system.
I really need to look into increasing my privacy and security for my BTC. Between multisig, conjoin, Sparrow wallet and all the other details it just seems so daunting.
If I didn't have car and credit card payments to make I'd do it in a heartbeat. Fiat is absolute garbage.
I feel the same way all the time, but it's still early in the grand scheme of things and what you buy today can still go up on value. I DCA into Bitcoin regularly and have been in the green for most of my time holding it.
Thanks, you actually happened to reach out while I'm having a real tough time with it so I I appreciate it. I keep telling myself it'll get better with time, but I'm so drained in waiting and to be honest it just feels so hopeless and desperate right now. I try to keep myself occupied and to work on myself but moments like these it's hard to want to do anything, I just wish I could sleep this off like a sickness but I know that will only hold me back. It's been a rough night.
Almost a decade later & this song still HITS
I miss climbing enough as it is but if I had this I'd miss it even more
A little musical pick-me-up for you
I've been HEAVILY considering switching to a dumb phone and just regressing in terms of the tech I use when I'm not at home on my PC but as someone who's into BTC it's also harder to achieve this if you want to stay in the know/be able to acquire more here and there. It's a bit of a conundrum.
