I'm definitely not Dale Gribble.

Long time, no see #plebchain! Any recommendations on a password manager? I'm too old to remember all this shit anymore...

Wassup #Nostr! It's been a minute.

Quick question. Mining shitcoin and exchanging for Bitcoin. Yay or nay?

Nothing beats Saturday mornings with the family.

I haven't smoked since high school due to my jobs and living where it is still illegal. I just recently moved to a green state. What do you recommend for someone who hasn't smoked in over a decade? The idea of walking into a store and buying whatever I want is crazy to me. No waiting for over an hour in the worst part of town for a shady drug dealer? What a time to be alive.

Good morning #plebs. Spending time with the spawn and Ms. Rachel. IYKYK

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I was a fan for a long time and didn't realize how scummy he was until recently.

Howdy #nostriches ! I want to see what the guitar players in the community are rocking! I have several but this one is my go to. Epiphone J-200

Good Morning #Nostr It's a warm 1°F here. Let's go! 🤙

-Can't remember the last book I read. I'm trying to get back into it. School definitely burned me out on reading.

-Currently reading White Fang. I remember seeing the movie when I was little and loving it so I figured I'd read the book. So far, so good.

But it's ok because you're a HeAltHcArEHeRo!!! Management will give you free pizza and extra shifts for your troubles.
