Even as a novice, coding is really fun. Although I never know what I am getting into. Sometimes an error is as simple as a single line command that installs a missing dependency, and other times I am on a week long goose chase that leads to an existential crisis.

I have been driving for a living for the majority of the last 20 years. Today I got my fourth traffic ticket in the last two years and I am so fucking done. I can't do a job where I am constantly at risk of the state intervening and deciding I'm not going it correct or safely. I am a better and safer driver than I have ever been, but my confidence in my ability is to my detriment. I drive faster because I know I can safely handle the speed and read the road and traffic conditions. I don't stop at stop signs as much as I should to avoid a ticket because I'm checking the intersection and crosswalks before I even get there. To the traffic cops that witness these actions I am flaunting the law and my attitude is arrogant, and there is no reasoning with them.

I'm not sure these are habits I can change, so I'm thinking it's time to pivot to something else. I'm not sure what that is, but for now I will focus on my mental and physical health which has been getting neglected lately.

Think about it! We finance the government through taxes, which spends this money on war! Then we complain that war is bad and want to live in peace and freedom🤷‍♂️ Maybe we should just stop paying this damn government and switch to the #bitcoin standard?!

Am I living the dream or is this worse than hell? I can't decide:

There is an argument to be made that if you haven’t fully and permanently deactivated your Xitter™️ account(s) you are a SHITCOINER

It is still the artist intent that matter. AI can be part of that toolkit. But it won't replace the artist. What is human.

The “Nothing to hide” argument regarding privacy is a fallacy that takes for granted the good intentions of those in positions of authority and power

Madness !

After studying #Bitcoin long enough, you realize that money is supposed to be simple and straightforward.

It's just a ledger of who owns what.

Fiat money is complicated and opaque on purpose so that the people who control the ledger can lie, cheat, and steal from everyone else.

No more.

The world needs a fair, open, correct, incorruptible ledger and now it has one.

My uncle has Covid. He is blaming this on not getting the latest booster. When I asked him if he wanted some ivermectin he said, “No I feel fine, just some sniffles.” I just learned that he is now planning to get the booster next week. An MIT EE PhD without a brain 🤦‍♀️ I’m dumbfounded

I’m starting to get back into angry mode at stupidity again. Try so hard not

to. Everyone’s just NGU and completely oblivious to what is planned. We are about to enter scamdemic #2 and this time Bitcoin is the virus that must be ‘vaccinated for your safety’

Short description of some local Dutch news:

“Man with suitcase full of #gold arrested on A1, origin unknown”

🤡 🤡 🤡

Uncle Sam always wants his cut…

#Bitcoin fixes this

So.. it takes some time for information detected by our eyes or other nerves to reach the part of our brains that make events become part of our conscious experience.

What you're seeing right now is the past.

Our brains are predicting the present.

I could live with this combination... 😁🤙 #FordGT #camping

I still think there's something really weird going on with Gaza.

First, I've heard way too many people mention the 9/11 connection. It was so obviously spoonfed to us as a narrative that it's very suspicious. Yes, there are some parallels, but the way it was pushed by every media member almost minutes after it happened was very odd.

Second, the neocons have been way too aggressive on this. This does not play to their base at all and yet they are beating the drums of war at every opportunity. They seem to believe that they can get their side whipped up in a frenzy to the point where there will be war.

Third, the protests happening all over the world seem suspiciously timed to be red meat for everyone on the right. The exact people the people on the right hate are saying good things about Palestine. It reeks of manipulation.

There's a confluence of events to get the right bloodthirsty, because the left is bloodthirsty enough with Ukraine already. Maybe it's the defense industry, maybe it's the deep state. But whoever it is, they really, really want not just one war, but multiple ones.
