On my way from Seoul to Busan, by train. Trash in the seat pocket. No shade, but it's the little things that make Japan Japan, and Korea Korea...
I always start with the caveat that even when I agree with Peterson, I do not share the core of his message and fundamental views. That said, here's another one I can only applaud.
He says at one point that liberals and conservatives have been asleep at the wheel of the education system for 60 years.
I can attest that 30 years ago when I was about to go to uni in Catalonia, it was already well known and a recurrent joke that only the most useless, lunatic, radical communist potheads and drug addicts among us picked the Faculty of Teacher's Education. Mostly, that was one of the very few faculties they were able to enroll on at all with their terrible marks.
Once on campus, we kept laughing at them and joking about how while we were in the classroom, you could see them having their "classes" literally on a patch of grass singing songs and reading Marxist pamphlets.
In the meantime, they kept churning our teacher's diplomas and sending them to public and private schools alike...
And here we are now, when they have become one of the most powerful gangs and effectively run the school system autonomously from government, pushing their ideological drivel, and their incompetence, on everybody's children.
I think it's almost impossible to eradicate them from the public system, and the only way to mitigate the harm is to allow real parental choice. And even that is fought with a fury unlike any other and will be an uphill battle.
Can anybody here hook me up with the nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq peeps? I have a stuck LN invoice in RoboSats I need help with...
nostr:npub1wsqpvgpfwq6a4fs5whqxn7gtd9gqsll2p5qnfdu4ltr43s6wwxgsgk4xtl hey, if you're online, check out your TG... Got another RoboSats thingy stuck 🤷
If I understand the current state of X, based on what my friend who is a screenplay and novel writer and uses it for professional purposes (to get reach and be seen interacting with "the right people", as he admits), over there you get *actively* hidden unless you are a paid account AND have already a bunch of the "right" followers.
So factually speaking, Nostr is better for small individual accounts.
The people that piss me off on Bisq are the ones offering small amounts, like 100 bucks or so. Some even have the balls to slap a fat % on top.
It's like people either can't do very basic math and don't figure out that with such small numbers the fees really add up and their offer is really stupid expensive, or they simply don't give a fuck. In both cases, I'll pass.
And today it's one of those days. I see many offers I could take - if I couldn't math.
Same thing happened with Milei. Doesn't mean anything. Or rather, it's not a bad sign really. It's an indication that he's cutting away a lot of cancerous tissue.
Bastard, I hate you.
I spoke too fast about my RoboSats too. The seller is about to let expire the time to do the trade.
Which one? If you mean the Republicans being Republicans with the deficit, as they always have been (at least since Reagan), I agree. Their irrational spending habits will eventually cause a lot of pain.
If you mean somehow my point of view will be "punished", I don't even know what you mean. But in any case, IDGAF about the fiat price of BTC, except when I can buy cheaper. I have never sold one sat and I have zero interest in trading.
So I couldn't care less about what's going on these days, except that people on the P2P markets are unwilling to sell...
My RoboSats offer to buy has finally been taken -- prepare for another, deeper and more furious dump.

Bro, the Republicans just approved a budget proposal for this year that INCREASES the deficit by $320 B this year alone, and similar numbers for the following 5. And that's what's on paper. Reality will always be worse.
BTC is fine.
MFs won't put out decent orders, or take them, on Bisq OR RoboSats, either.
They're all scrambling to buy. GMs will resume after orders are filled.
Yeah I think for this one old machine with the node a server version would just be better. As a matter of fact, I've got it in a room on the other side of the house, laptop lid closed, plugged to a TV, and I basically only access it from my living room desktop via Remmina anyway xD
Yeah, I keep delaying because I worry something will get messed up... Anything, from bluetooth support for my wireless keyboard and mouse, to my node with the external USB drive... I'm scared shitless!
I'd like that very much, but I don't do DMs, sorry.
My Ubuntu 22.04 machine, where I'm running my node after lots of pain to set it up properly, keeps nagging me about updating to 24.04.2 LTS.
Yay or Nay?

So Benelli has come up with an anti-drone M4. They call it "AI drone guardian" and the sales guy says that the most important piece of new tech it carries is "AI".
Which... wait for it... stands for "advance impact" blah blah blah.
Fucking Italian marketeers, I hate them so much -- because I envy them. They're just the best. No second comes even close to them. Motherfuckers.
Not to rain on your parade, but to me, it seems like some (typical Italian) high level jiujutsu from the ragazzi at the Stock Exchange happened here. Think about where the finger is facing toward.
Whatever smart critiques the author and the ones who thought got one up on them, seem to have been turned upside down.
