Consistency is key

Well you seem completely convinced of your own position on the effects of increased CO2 being released into the atmosphere, regardless of empirical evidence. I don’t think it’s worth discussing beyond that.

Im not sure what you mean by anti-carbon. But if you read this article I think you would find it unequivocally pro-human.

You ever have one of those days where every fucking time you start to make a little progress, something breaks and sets you back to an hour back to before you even got started?

I’ve been there at least 3 times today. And now the construction guys just cut the fucking internet. The show is going to be down for a few days just because I don’t think I have the energy for anything anymore. If another device breaks down on me inexplicably I might just put every electronic device into a pile in the backyard and set it on fire.

Hope someone else out there is having a good day

If a Slave is forced by the threat of violence to give 100% of the fruits of their labor to their master, what do you call people who are forced (also by the threat of violence) to give 40-75% of the fruits of their labor to their master?

You cannot opt out and you cannot leave your Master’s land without literally buying your freedom upon in order to exit, only to find yourself in the domain of a new Master no matter where you go.

If you refuse to give your Master the fruits of your labor, you will be imprisoned. If you fight back against your Master’s henchmen when they come to arrest you, they will end your life.

When you die, your Master will take a piece of whatever you pass to your children.

Your Master uses the stolen fruits of your labor to forcibly keep you in perpetual servitude.

Are you free, Anon? Or are you a Slave?

One of my takeaways from #OFF was one of the incredible powers Twitter has at directing the state of the world.

Protests don’t work because, for some reason, tyrants don’t like being criticized. When they do, they work because enough people, probably outside of the regime’s control, care enough to exert pressure on their local governments to, in turn, pressure the regime.

Elon can have the thumb on the scale on what people care about, and equally important, what they don’t.

He can easily manufacture discontent or appease it at a global scale.

Which essentially translates to a single person having control on tumbling, or preserving, regimes throughout the world from the comfort of his couch.

The $44bln he used seems ungodly cheap now; really no human should have this type of power.

Nostr can fix this, but we need to work harder in bringing life/energy here AND away from Twitter.

STARTING SEQUEL NOW.

You can’t avoid risk so you may as well embrace it and get good at managing it.

If you’re on Nostr, you’re probably not new to Bitcoin. But if you are, PSA: every headline like this is designed to get you to sell your stack. Don’t fall for it. Just HODL and get wealthy in slow motion with the rest of us.
