New York police officers will be required to have their pronouns displayed on their uniforms starting January 2025.

That will fix everything.

central banks are gonna land this plane perfectly

into a lake of boiling shit

long term outlook (until 2030+):

higher and higher unemployment, consistent waves of high official inflation (unofficial levels bordering on hyperinflation as per H1 2020s), wages sustainably lower than real inflation, continued loss of purchasing power, continued hollowing of the middle class, continued higher highs for raytheon, pfizer and jp morgan

keynesian distortions will continue until morale improves

allocate accordingly

You get self esteem by doing things that are worthy of esteem and then telling no one.

New PR in the gym? Tell no one.

Just made a million dollars? Tell no one.

Have an amazing sex life? Tell no one.

Promotion at work? Tell no one.

Lost 50lbs? Tell no one.

People might notice some of these things or changes you’ve made and that’s ok.

Don’t be weird about it. If they comment say thank you and keep going.

The reason you tell no one is so that you can switch your reference point from external to internal.

Let others see the results. Don’t announce them.

Anything you have that is enviable others will brag for you.

that debate was an abomination. an insult to anyone with a brain in their nut - not a single question was actually answered.

on the one hand you have a senile, bloviating boomer repeating himself ad nauseam on laughable conspiracies and irrelevant personal gripes, who seems incapable of looking forward, or considering anything in the world that exists outside of himself

on the other side we have a soundbite-spouting, overly-media trained empty vessel whose voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and whose only qualification for high office seems to be "i'm not him"

a pox on both their houses.

shame on all of them.

shame on the media for enabling them.

and shame on all of us for putting up with this potemkin democracy.

Which client did you use most last week?

(I’ll keep asking this on a weekly basis to see user behavior changes)

Alright #hamradio and #nostr users. As some of you know, I have been developing a NOSTR over ham radio client and server application with the hopes of a globally distributed . I am releasing an early alpha by the end of the month god willing. Now I need a name.

I am currently town between 2 names and want some input from the community. The first is accurate, the 2nd is fun and plays off the name as an acronym and hits back at authoritarians in some ways.

1) HAMSTR - Decentralized NOSTR over Ham Radio

This one obviously is perfect, but I am tired of the STR names...

2) COMMIE

This one would have a few possible acronyms for a fun play on the COMMS, Communication and dentralized idea:

Centralized Oppression Mitigated by Independent Exchanges

Collaborative Open Messaging for Independent Entities

Community-Organized Messaging, Media, and Information Exchange

What say the nostriches?

#nostriches and #plebs - let's have a serious conversation.

men of #nostr -

should one sit down to pee?

or should one stand?

Have you ever been under a tyrannical government that takes control of the army?

We did

And militias were just wiped out

If the US gov gets aggressively tyrannical and attacks it owns citizens, it will up to the inner fortitude & desire for freedom of the citizens to fight back. Don’t underestimate the gorilla and grassroots capability to subvert a military incursion on citizens. The American revolution and Afghanistan are perfect examples of when big traditional militia lost against much lesser armed and staffed opponents.

I don’t understand much about US laws and constitution but I’m still wondering why people think that 2nd amendment protects citizens from tyrannical government?

Let’s think for a bit:

- if a tyrannical government takes control, and assuming they control the army.. your guns at home are just like a water gun compared to the army’s fire power

- if a tyrannical government comes, constitution becomes useless and they can ban normal people to buy ammo and new guns

So unless most homes in the US has war level weapons, tanks, jets, and and enough ammunition.. then you will still have problems defending from a tyrannical government.

I hope that’ll never happen obviously but I’m still curious to understand why constitution is even relevant in the event a tyrant takes control

“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association, movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.

Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.

I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.

This really happened. And it revealed everything.

In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”
