nostr will win because you can shitpost without limits

It's almost as if popular closed platforms keep advertising Bitcoin and Nostr for us. People don't understand why they need freedom tools, but they'll see it sooner than later as these platforms tighten their grasps on their users.

We are told we need mass surveillance to protect civil rights.

We are told we need censorship to ensure free speech.

We are told we need bank bailouts to rescue the free market.

We are told we need compliance to protect science.

We are told we need rigged elections to save democracy.

We are told we need forever war to secure peace.

Good morning!

good morning nostr, freedom is not granted - it is taken and defended 🫡

The experts claim both sea levels are going to rise as well as oceans will boil.

So will sea levels rise or fall ?!?

White wine has no skin in the game. 🤭

White wine disrespecting will continue till the tannins improve.

took my first (non-farming) job at a pizza restaurant, back of house, for $4 per hour, under the table, no tips.

that was the correct price for my unskilled labor at the time. because that restaurant owner took a risk to bring me on underaged & far below minimum wage, I was fortunate enough to get my first real work experience & learn discipline, responsibility, punctuality, food service, and many invaluable social lessons early on.

by raising minimum wages in perpetuity states are just pricing out all labor participants whose work is actually valued at less than the state mandated rate on a free market. raising minum wage doesn’t magically allow an employer to afford now more expensive though less productive workers.

value yourself fairly & work hard at learning salable skills & growing & even with inflation & insane taxes you will be able to find productive work in this country & get a leg up.

One of the best things you can do as an employer today is offer to pay people in #Bitcoin. As an employee you should be asking for this or using direct deposit tools like strike to receive & save a percentage of your paycheck in #Bitcoin.

Of course you can - AND I would love to join you on a podcast anytime.

Finally got a chance to listen to this today - dovetailed nicely with a quote I heard this morning on a What Bitcoin Did podcast.

We are in the "from dependence back into bondage" stage of this repeating cycle.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

― Alexander Fraser Tytler

Im not trading my zappy Damus for adjustable font Damus.

I will never update Damus until the TestFlight timer runs out.

tonight’s ground beef recipe is a one-pot, hotpot pasta with mung bean noodles and broccoli. the “sauce” is adapted broth seasonings (cumin, salt, garlic) chili oil and a touch of flour for thickening, topped with a soft-boiled egg.

not the prettiest, but the flavor is 💯🔥😛
