Can someone in the GrapheneOS community please get it officially supported on some actual MOBILE phone? (iPhone Mini or smaller form factor.)
My dinners are almost always meat. But when I try to do also a meat lunch, I find that to be too heavy on the stomach. Any ideas on this?
The self-sacrificial mentality runs deep and needs to be challenged.
For example, the problem is not how "wE tHroW aWaY sO mUcH fOod wHiLe oTherS aRe sTarVinG". The problem is why the hell those others are not rich enough to *also* be able to throw away food that is not near-perfect.
You donāt bring the world up by finding everyone in need and helping them. You bring the world up by doing our best at home, by perfecting the lot we have been given. It feels good to the ego to say what youāre saying, but it falls flat in the face of real progress. Let me leave you with a quote from Emerson.
āLove abroad is spite at homeā or, for more context here is the verse:
āGo love thy infant;
love thy wood-chopper:
be good-natured and modest:
have that grace;
and never varnish your hard,
uncharitable ambition with this incredible tenderness for black folk a thousand miles off.
Thy love afar is spite at home.
Rough and graceless would be such greeting,
but truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. ā
Your goodness must have some edge to it, ā else it is none.ā

I was going to say basically what you said, but now I don't have to. Thanks!

I realized over 10 years ago that most people (90%) are normies who... simply do not care about such things. Banging my head against a brick wall is more productive than even trying to engage with them. I subconsciously made it my mission to avoid these people.
During the scamdemic, all these people came to the surface, and exposed themselves for all to see. This was a blessing because it made it far easier for the like-minded to find each other.
Great to see you in here. Any chance you could become more active here, and ideally mirror your X content here? (Many of us are now fully locked out of X and have no idea what's going on in that place anymore.)
There are so many diet-normies in here, posting photos of their vegetablesāas if that is something that I'm supposed to find attractive or worth consuming. nostr:note1xwz58knldq09sjfgpnzljqy9uq34salexexj4yw4sk58ktj5ge4q570y6p
If you cook too long, it gets too dry. How to find the right balance?
I might be the only person on the planet, at least in the Bitcoin space, talking about this issue.
It goes way beyond just stacking sats, folks. nostr:note1p0maa7zdzkqkdr2n5g897tv99atwwf9vz3a5rne7u5y4qz3trcmswvksxc
As you may know, it's because he was a real economist, not a fake "economist". He described the distinction in 1949: https://youtu.be/L29JXmeYkaM
In a society where almost everybody agrees with what you wrote, of course hardly anyone is going to care about anyone's flip flops.
What I see around me is a lost, decaying society. My hope was that so-called "low-time-preference" Bitcoiners would try their best to reverse this deadly trend.
Clothing: If I approach someone while I'm wearing a potato sack and flip flops (zero proof of work), I'm just disrespecting them and showing how unimportant they are to me.
Language: Words matter. The words on your cup mean something. The way we use words can, whether we like it or not and whether we're trying to be funny or not, corrupt our brains: https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/obscenities-are-symptoms-of-weak-minds/ (He's talking more in the context of anger/swearing, but I think a similar message holds in general.)
It's worth mentioning that this subjectivist mentality, that things (including arts and language) are not objective, is a part of the deadly, post-modern philosophy that plagues modern universities and is a big reason why people come out of there with corrupt brains incapable of rational thinking. (It's also the exact opposite of Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy, in case anyone is interested. I'm not saying Rand is some prophet and right about everything; I just happen to agree with her on this.)
One would think that "low-time-preference" Bitcoiners, who wax lyrical about beautiful buildings, would jump at the opportunity to bring back beautiful clothes and language. Unfortunately, this is turning out not to be the case.
High-time-preference clothes: T-shirts and flip flops. High-time-preference language: Swearwords like "sh**" and "fu**". That appears to be the unfortunate norm in the Bitcoin space.
I would love to see Bitcoiners rise up, and spearhead a new movement to bring back three-piece suits and eloquent language, but so far my opinions have fallen on deaf ears.
This is why (generally speaking) traveling is a scam, and why restaurants are a scam. nostr:note1ra9wwupjxxn2p7v0qv2sngykv84vuergjvgxsdqyyheqddarzw6st3spw9
People who say that Bitcoin is a "gReAt vALuE trAnsFeR mEcHaNiSM, but NoT a GoOd StoRe oF vALuE" have obviously never asked themselves where this value comes from in the first place and don't understand that such transfer requires liquidity. nostr:note1gcuns4qx35d6ja6870grc27hn4druga37sw5pahd9vx3mqscgwms6lau8m
Do people need the ability to send hundreds of billions of dollars of value (measured in current US dollars) across borders within 1 hour, with final settlement?
If the answer is yes, the next obvious question is: How much liquidity does that require?
The rest falls in place easily. Simply hold Bitcoin and sleep soundly.

I'm reminded of 1990s Linux users: "Hey, man. Linux is really great because it's open source - if it's missing a feature, just add it yourself!" š
