My husband’s 8-year-old niece is having a birthday party with relatives and friends invited. But all seven friends declined to come, one by one, either due to getting sick or family issues or because some of them have big tests.

And the mom was hesitant to tell her about the last ones, including her best friend, being unable to come, since that final piece of news is devastating. So when we arrived, the niece was super happy, dressed up like a princess, showing us all the decorations and picking which colored forks each of her friends would have for the cake.

Basically, the expectations and reality couldn’t be more starkly different. It was like a comedy show setting up for a sad punchline. And eventually the mom dropped the bombshell, crying ensued, etc. The niece said this would be awful since her party would be all adults talking.

So, now I’m playing My Little Pony with her for damage control. Next, I’m going to blow up a lot of balloons to throw around with her and challenge her to see how many she can keep in the air at once. And then she wants to watch Inside Out 2 together.

How’s your day going?

This is amazing. Take the test to see if you’re a normie or not. nostr:note1nhakwp29kj5h8vy8ngl065ucqwzesqjsftexfk58s7xknkahkywqjevh6u

Bitcoin is so hard to Hodl that most of the people reading this won’t make it 20 more years.

Hell even the person writing this (me) might not.

That’s how hard it is.

Never forget that.

Price going up is bad for bitcoin. We need more scaling solutions ready to go and potential for profit is what makes the pain of bitcoin worth the effort. The higher price goes, the less upside remains and hence less reason to adopt bitcoin (in part).

But then again, high price increases distribution. But there is still so much work to be done…

This week I ran an experiment with nicotine via Zyn pouches. I don't advocate using nicotine given its addictive properties, but I wanted to see if Zyn would help suppress the urge to eat late at night without negatively impacting sleep quality.

For me the answer appears to be yes. Nicotine as an appetite suppressant has been widely studied and is well known. My sleep tracker showed that, unlike alcohol and caffeine, nicotine did not prevent me from enjoying a long night of deep and uninterrupted sleep.

If I was a dictator of a nation with a birth rate falling below replacement levels, I'd outlaw abortion in order to boost my population and keep tax revenues from declining. 😈

There are still people that think the lockdowns were justified, much like how there were still people in 2007 that thought invading Iraq was justified.

I’m cursed with strong memory.

I recall many peripheral and extemperaneous details of commentary and events going back 30 years. Just the way my brain works.

This means I remember the way the world was. I remember what people said and did. How they acted. What their beliefs were. What scared them. What brought them joy etc…

I say cursed because it seems most are not able to remember these types of details.

So it’s isolating because you remember what it was like, but you’re effectively alone and everyone else has upgraded their beliefs, fears, joys for whatever is in vogue at the present moment.

Which is frustrating because we had such a better culture that we’ve largely discarded in favor of what?

Nothing.

It’s sad.

Fix: lockdown did nothing to stop the virus

I usually feel awful after flying long distances. Some people travel well, and that’s not really me.

I usually can’t sleep much on a plane, even in business class, so I forcibly skip a whole night of sleep basically, and end up with a headache and full body aches.

Over the years I’ve picked up some techniques to minimize it, but clearly not enough (travel for me used to be “hellish” and now it’s much improved to just “awful”).

What do ya’ll do to minimize the negative impact when traveling?
