Not really. The person you describe is just a victim too afraid to say no. They aren’t owed anything or tbh worthy of love

Garbage?

So all you do is quote stoner pseudo-philosophers and Hollywood as arguments for everything?

I’m fully certain you’re a moron

The free market can decide

It just occurred to me that we don’t really have monogamy in the purest sense in the West anymore. Every marriage between two people, and also every de facto relationship in places with extensive de facto frameworks like Australia, involves three entities: the two people and the State.

Not wanting a relationship with the State, I suppose the rational and moral thing to do is also to not have a relationship with a woman.

Yes, what the few billion peasants living on $1 a day in some field in Africa or Asia definitely need is to escape artificiality and reconnect with nature.

That’s not really true. Most third parties are insured against hacks and make good any loss, which is why they can charge a fee for custody.

A single policy change is unlikely to be legal if it ‘wipes out’ people. As in they would be sued. If it’s a government policy change that wipes people out, like state confiscation, well you’d likely see that coming through parliament well in advance in the West. In some dictatorship then sure it’s a risk.

The ending is great- spooky

I also think nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a that that few trillion is mostly just people swapping bitcoin for fiat or other cryptos. How much of that is using actual bitcoin to buy actual goods and services

Herein lies the huge problem with bitcoin though. If it’s so valuable why spend it? But if nobody spends it, how is it valuable?

The followers could no longer tell themselves the lies they were, since they no longer had the majority supporting them.

And although they may not believe them anymore, they just seem to retreat to ever more insane levels of hysteria towards the opposition.

My brother said ‘Biden is going to be the best president ever’. He doesn’t argue about Biden’s failings now, but says stuff like ‘well Trump raped his daughter’.

I’ve decided to try not to talk about politics with him from now on.

Honestly this is pretty bullish for #Nostr

What a massive contradiction. Go try to cure cancer in some muddy field and see how far you get

People on here posting stuff so people engage with them.

Here I posted, engage or something.

Oh you want some substance.

I read a bit of Aristotle today. It was ok, he said all reasonable stuff like that you should aim for virtues and goodness and pursuit of happiness.

But then I engaged with Aristotle GPT, really tried to argue the point that if pursuit of happiness is the highest goal then there really isn’t much justification for much else (so long as it doesn’t harm others). And GPT backtracked and backtracked until it basically conceded that yeah, I should pretty much do what I want no matter how degenerate.

Well good thing the VP is such a genius and can step in if her President can’t continue

Sometimes you have to say no to people dozens of times before they accept it. And sometimes you have to say no to yourself that many times before you accept it too

Hey! Looks great. What temp and for how long do you dry them? Do they have to be stored in oil in jars? If so, how do you stop the top getting mouldy?

If I'm sure of one thing it's that you shouldn't invest based on other's feelings
