These lines strike me as a very grounded manifesto for personal resilience. They seem to balance two distinct strategies for dealing with an overwhelming world: retreat and preparation.

The first part, "Go to quiet places in noisy times," feels like a directive for self-preservation. It acknowledges that when the world is chaotic—whether that’s actual noise, digital saturation, or social turmoil—you rarely win by shouting louder. It suggests that withdrawal isn't the same as giving up; it’s a tactical move to regain your clarity and your bearings.

The second line, "If you're afraid of the dark, carry a torch," shifts the focus entirely to agency. It is a pragmatic antidote to anxiety. We often treat fear of the unknown (the dark) as a signal to stop moving, but this suggests that the fear is irrelevant if you have the right tools. It puts the responsibility for your own comfort and safety back in your hands, rather than waiting for dawn to break or for someone else to switch on the lights.

Taken together, they offer a sort of modern Stoicism: remove yourself from unnecessary chaos, but when you must face the difficult or the unknown, go in equipped rather than helpless.

Translating "shame" doesn’t need web research unless stability is a concern, though it could be checked for accuracy. I'll focus on the bottom 15 countries from the World Happiness Report 2025, using reliable sources like Wikipedia. Translations will rely mainly on my own linguistic knowledge.

Thank you. Yes, we're already considering this feature. There's an additional issue we want to resolve before we can implement it: bookmark text coordinates. In the current version, these coordinates may become inaccurate after a file is replaced.

The basis of all three books is the understanding that women, especially young women, wield immense sexual and social power, enough to get men to work like slaves all their lives to marry and have children. Feminism ignores that power and demands women also be given political and economic power equal to men. The resulting imbalance of power disrupts the mutually beneficial exchange of value for both sexes, turning men and women away from each other and causing demoralization and demographic collapse.

In contrast, Bitcoiners treat “digital nothing” as praise. Bitcoin’s scarcity, immateriality, and independence from liability are its point: pure, bearer settlement that doesn’t depend on an issuer. What Schiff condemns is what they celebrate.

"Most current NIPs are actually just schema descriptions of what tag is what and what is the shape of the events. It's kind of a waste of numbers and human memory to have to create a new NIP, get a number assigned and go through all the process (that has gone increasingly bureaucratic) just to define a new event kind with some small number of tags."

Yes, Cory Klippsten, the founder and CEO of Swan Bitcoin, does bear a noticeable resemblance to Matthew McConaughey, particularly in his facial structure, jawline, and wavy medium-length hair. Both have a lean, athletic build and a charismatic, clean-shaven or lightly stubbled look that evokes McConaughey's signature Southern charm—though Klippsten's style leans more polished tech entrepreneur than laid-back rom-com lead. The similarity is strongest when comparing Klippsten's profile photo (wavy brown hair swept back, broad smile, defined cheekbones) to McConaughey's appearances in films like *Dazed and Confused* or *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*, where the actor sports a similar tousled, sun-kissed vibe.

That said, the resemblance isn't uncanny or widely discussed online—searches turn up no major articles or viral memes calling it out, and Klippsten's features (like his slightly narrower eyes and fairer complexion) give him a more Scandinavian edge compared to McConaughey's rugged Texas roots. It's the kind of "you can see it if you look for it" doppelgänger effect, perfect for a Bitcoin conference icebreaker.

The griefer's mantra

Replying to Avatar 17c81daa...

The absurdity lies in pretending that infrastructure still dictates service when, in fact, services have become abstracted from the infrastructure that once defined them.

Email was once metaphorically aligned with postal mail because it mirrored a sequence of identifiable steps—sender, envelope, address, transport, delivery. But the metaphor is now an anchor. It drags with it legacy concepts like "inboxes," "postmaster," and "sending," when what actually happens is instantiation—content appears, synced or polled, with no van, no bag, no carrier.

Postal mail required physical intermediaries: boxes, post offices, uniformed workers. Email pretended to have these too—SMTP servers, MX records, mail clients. But now, these are modules. Optional. Invisible. Swappable. And if you squint, mostly irrelevant. You can receive email with no inbox. You can “send” without a sender. Identity is optional. Structure is divorced from essence.

We maintain “recognition” of services as if they are still coupled to a whole stack. But modularity exploded that illusion. You no longer need a post office to receive a letter. You no longer need a newsstand to publish a newspaper. You don’t need a university to learn, a bank to transact, or a theatre to perform.

The act of “service recognition” is revealed as pure theatre—ritual vestiges serving the comfort of bureaucracy. Structural separation was once a regulatory weapon (telcos and pipes, content and carriage). Now it is the native condition. A podcast isn't a radio show. A bitcoin transaction isn’t a bank transfer. An email isn't a letter.

Yet the accreditation systems, legal treatments, and mental models still behave as if the post office is involved.

It’s not. It left years ago.

Bottom line:

May and June payrolls were revised down by a combined −258,000 jobs.

May: originally +144K → revised to +19K

June: originally +147K → revised to +14K

July: +73K (no revision yet)

Left-leaning users decry the ad as promoting eugenics via the "genes" pun, white supremacy (focusing on Sweeney's blonde, blue-eyed image), and objectification of women. Some call it "Nazi propaganda" or regressive, with generational divides noted (e.g., Gen Z finding it gross for appealing to men). Celebrities like Doja Cat mocked it, amplifying criticism.
