My dad has informed me that the vet has said that the kitten passed away 😔.

I think nearly all of the DARPA/CIA programs that scare people into thinking that magic is real or there’s some sinister cabal running everything (remote viewing, teleportation, population control, on and on) are actually just fake bureaucratic bloat.

There are *trillions* in unaccounted funding. These programs are probably all about one thing: getting funding for people you know. They have to talk it up to make it seem like it’s legit, but it’s all fake.

You grew up at a country club with some guy, went to school with another. He gets to run some “research program” with an 8 or 9 figure budget and he makes an easy 6 or 7 figure salary. They scratch each other’s back with slush fund money.

Oh and “top secret” bloat is out of control, so you can’t see into any of it. Even the most banal shit is TS, like catering orders and parking rules for interns.

In one sense, it’s less scary because there likely isn’t one unified effort to coordinate evil, like in the movies. In another sense, the banality of this bureaucratic evil is terrifying. Many of the men running these programs will create untold civilian collateral damage…all because their wife is bitching that they need a new Range Rover, the mortgage on the Hampton’s house is due, and they have multiple kids enrolled in Ivys.

Either I get this new funding grant for some BS, or my wife starts fucking the pool guy to get back at me. What would you do?

Fantastic. So don't use it.

Other may want use it. Who gives a shit? I don't work for Strike, so I don't care what people do, and I likely would never use it.

But there are a bunch of use cases people would want this individually and want short term loans. One of them is cap gains avoidance, particularly short term. By loaning against, you don't have cap gains.

The short term cap gains can be as high as 34%. So a 12% apr could be well worth the cost vs paying cap gains.

If Bitcoin is to become actual money, this will become more and more common, just as are helocs, mortgages, gold loans, loans against stocks, and so on.

People better get used to it. It's only going to become more financialized

Of course you are paying interest. It's a loan, duh.

Forget KYC for a moment, pretend this is a p2p no kyc service.

Now, what is your issue?

If I come to you because I need to pay taxes, new roof, or buy a house, but all I have is Bitcoin, that doesn't do me a whole helluva lot of good.

I can A)sell it, or b) borrow against it.

I fail to see why this is an issue.

How about you never lend more 10% of your stack ?

⚡️🇮🇱 NEW - PM Netanyahu, today at the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting: "We are demolishing more and more houses, they have nowhere to go back to. The only obvious outcome will be Gazans wishing to emigrate out of the strip. Our main problem is finding receptive countries."

Sounds depressing, but I disagree, Bitcoin main value is permissionlessness, it doesn't have any other reason to exist (except maybe short lived hype), so why would it survive increasing KYC?

Number go up, but the number should be the people making a living on the Internet without a kyc permission from the empirial center.

When you're a non-dev and other non-devs tell you about how devs are morally bankrupting stuff, and you don't understand what the devs are saying because you're ofcourse not a dev, you'll obviously side with the non-devs. It's just distrust because of information assymetry.

Moral of the story is. Learn to code.

If you want change the world don't protest. Write code.

Does anyone have any suggestions of apps, websites, or microphones for a retard thinking of starting a podcast? Think of the dumbest fuck you know and where you would direct them to.

Red bell peppers are just fully ripened green peppers.

Orange and yellow bell peppers are just green peppers picked at different ripening times.

As peppers ripen in the plant, the concentration of certain compounds changes, changing their flavor.
