Lotta bitcoiners are delusional about geopolitics and wars. Like people weren’t fighting for land and dominance before government.

Chimpanzés fight different tribes. As far as I know they don’t have taxes or official governemts 🤷‍♂️

Been thinking a lot about persistence and consistency.

So much of what I am proud of in my life derives from those two sentiments.

I think humans intuitively understand, even if we cannot articulate it, that we are left with a sense of awe when seeing anything that reflects tremendous consistency and persistence. They represent the intentional use of the one thing we cannot buy; time.

Gotta keep sharpening that blade

#Amethyst has been consistently crashing each time I tag someone for several days.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Ladies, something we should keep in mind when contributing to our relationship:

1. “In the garden of love, be the nurturing soil that supports the growth of your partner’s dreams, rather than waiting for your own seeds to be planted.”

2. “Think of your relationship as a symphony; instead of seeking your own solo, contribute harmoniously to the beautiful melody you both create.”

3. “Imagine your love as a dance; lead with steps of kindness and understanding, rather than waiting for your partner to take the lead.”

4. “Picture your relationship as a shelter from life’s storms; focus on strengthening its foundation, rather than just seeking refuge.”

5. “View your partnership as a shared journey; be the compass that guides both of you towards happiness, rather than waiting for directions.”

6. “See your love as a masterpiece; contribute brushstrokes of compassion and empathy, rather than waiting for your own portrait to be painted.”

7. “Think of your relationship as a garden; tend to it with care and attention, rather than just admiring the blooms.”

8. “Imagine your love as a campfire; add logs of generosity and warmth, rather than just seeking heat.”

9. “View your partnership as a team; be the supportive teammate that assists in scoring goals, rather than waiting for your own victories.”

10. “See your relationship as a puzzle; contribute pieces of understanding and compromise, rather than waiting for your piece to fit perfectly.”

I got the Raspberry Pi 5's! The cases come with a fan and heatsink too! There are some graphics I can't figure out on the info card. Maybe someone can help?

Here's my translation (from left to right):

1. Read the warnings page.

2. Only touch it on the sides, and when unplugged.

3. Don't let it get hot when placed inside a bag. (wtf?)

4. Don't touch the board (or components) when it's plugged in.

5. Pull out the main chip. Just yank that sucker right off the PCB.

6. Come to our website if you have questions.

Fell asleep twice watching the Putin interview, finally made it through. Here are my thoughts:

* Carlson was way out of his depth, unprepared, didn't pushback on a bunch of BS, he basically just held the microphone.

* Putin is not lying but also not telling the truth. He cherry picks what he wants, omits the uncomfortable truths and tells things in a way that paints his ridiculous narrative

* Americans seem to know 0 about European history.

* Why the english voice-over for the Putin part and not just have subtitles? Annoying af

My girlfriend recently got into making sourdough bread.

I never realized how similar it is to having a baby - tending to it at all times, waking up early/in the middle of the night to feed it, constantly googling whether you're raising it right...and of course getting something delicious to eat after all your hard work.

#Amethyst does Auto translate.. But you need to use the Google play version.

Yeah.. Somehow we really dislike the idea of Russia invading neighboring countries.

You’re right, the Nazi collaboration is not a very meaningful fact in this context.

What are meaningful facts however are how Moscow was a backwater during most of the time he discussed, how Alexander Nevsky fought very hard to subjugate other parts of old Rus under Mongol rule, and how the realm governed from Moscow was called by many “Muscovy” well into the 18th century to discern it from the Western part of old Rus.

You could as easily interpret medieval Rus history in a way that shows how the country whose capital is Kiev is the direct descendant of Kievan Rus, and the country whose capital is Moscow has little to do with it, apart from being founded and run by people who betrayed old Rus.

You could also argue that Russians are not a real ethnicity, because the ancestors of modern day Russians are the Russified local tribes from around Moscow, as well as Mongols, Tatars, and everyone else at some point falling under Moscow’s dominion.

I wouldn’t interpret history that way myself though. Because it’d be as one sided as the bullshit Putin spouts.
