I wrote a whole fucking article on why miners should brace for the application of sanctions law under a Trump administration but the TLDR is you're all fucking retarded

What?! Surely not "I love Wikileaks" (=imprison and torture Assange) Trump?
Great article (tried to zap you but couldn't).
Right royal fucking directly ahead.
FFM is certainly more accepted in the scientific community, but is not without critics.
It fails to predict peoples behavior in specific contexts (ie people change their behavior in each context and therefore their 'personality' is not fixed by determined by the context - ie the context is a more powerful influence, and so predictor, of behavior).
If it cannot predict behavior then it's not a valid theory of behavior. Ie, it's quackery. So you win that point again. Lol.
"...it appears that the currently popular FFM should be replaced with an expanded and altogether more inclusive model of dynamic personality structure. "

Okay. If we go with that, things are looking pretty bad for Myers-Briggs.
I.e., when quacks say it's a bunch of quackery you know things are really bad!
fwiw, Myers-Briggs is considered by most scientists to be a bunch of quackery.

Well. You've only got yourself to blame. You should have paid yourself cash - you know - gone to the bank, lined up, got to the counter, withdrawn, gone to the end of the queue, got to the counter, deposited.
Oh well. Next time.
But go when it's quiet - otherwise by the time you get to the counter to make the deposit - they'll probably have forgotten who you are and ask you where you got the money from.
🤣 🤣 🤣
As soon as these are available to buy I’m gonna get one and absolutely love it more than nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs.

Experiencing nature and solitude can be powerfully healing.
Zen mediators I think would see your thought experience differently. That it is actually your own thoughts that are poisoning your own mind and crushing your soul.
How so? It's normal for most people to have discriminating thoughts when a thought pops into their minds - judgements - I like/dislike this. This is good/bad. This is right/wrong. These judgements cause associated pleasant/unpleasant feelings - which in turn create more judgements/feelings. And so it goes on.
(Do you notice the judgements/feelings you having about what you have read thus far?)
That is why you experience happiness when you're away from those people who cause those thoughts to come. No people - no thoughts.
Therefore, a key goal of meditation is actually breaking free of, or creating distance between these judgements and your conscious peaceful mind, or self (thoughts are just something you experience rather than being a fundamental part of who you are).
After a while, often many years of daily training (ie, meditation), when you start to experience these thoughts/feelings, you can quickly stop holding on to them and just ignore them. (but it doesn't take years, you can experience benefits within a few weeks of daily practise).
A good analogy is that of sitting under a waterfall. We all start by experiencing a constant bombardment of thoughts/feelings crashing down on our heads. Meditation allows you to step out from under the waterfall and sit quietly on the riverbank to just watch them pass you by.
Proponents of Zen, Zen Masters, maintain that through mediation, one can become master of one's own mind. And it becomes the way of life.
But in the meantime, as you have found, minimizing the amount of time in contexts that set your mind off, ie, with normies, is likely to be very beneficial.
(PS. how meditate? Sit comfortably, eyes closed, focus on the rise and fall of the stomach. Count each breath up to 10 then start from the beginning again. When you realize your mind has wandered, which it invariably will, gently return to counting the breath.
How's your math? Do you think you can count 10 breaths?! If you can. Excellent! Keep going. O)
Once you get the hang of it you can do it anywhere and everywhere - walking in the forest, counting you steps, would be great!)
I've had a response from the BBC, and they're doubling down, further proving how difficult it is to hold the BBC accountable for their misinformation.
Here’s a short summary on their response:
Flawed Metrics: The BBC relies on Alex de Vries' debunked "per transaction" metric to assess Bitcoin's environmental impact, despite Cambridge University disproving this methodology as early as 2018. The BBC ignored credible research that highlights the fundamental flaws in de Vries' study, failing to fact-check before publishing.
https://x.com/DecentraSuze/status/1834671256299257876
Misleading Headline: The BBC admitted to using "payment" and "transaction" interchangeably in their headline, allegedly to make it more accessible to readers. However, this distinction is critical—confusing the two leads to gross overestimation of Bitcoin's water use by a factor of 1000x or more. This misrepresentation is not a small error; it's misinformation.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67564205
Undisclosed Conflict of Interest: De Vries works for the Dutch Central Bank, which has a vested interest in discrediting Bitcoin, yet the BBC did not disclose this conflict. Central banks stand to lose from decentralised finance systems, making de Vries’ affiliation highly relevant and worth disclosing. The BBC dismissed this concern outright.
Impartiality in Question: Despite claiming impartiality, the BBC consistently fails to provide balanced reporting on Bitcoin. This article is just one of many examples, amplifying flawed studies while ignoring counter-evidence and perpetuating a one-sided narrative.
https://x.com/gladstein/status/1803507915556606200
Broken Complaint Process: Beyond the article’s provable flaws, which have been dismissed by the editorial complaints team, I can’t even respond to the email I received. The BBC’s process forces me to deliver responses over the phone, making it more difficult to address these serious issues. Accountability feels impossible.
https://x.com/DecentraSuze/status/1834669804923322843
This isn’t just about bitcoin. It’s about journalistic standards and the integrity of the information that the public relies on. We need to demand better fact-checking, transparency, and accountability from organisations like the BBC.

Good effort. Well done. Keep going!

None of these are real.
A new and very successful strategy for realistic video is combining the FLUX.1 image model with a good video model (I've been using Runway Gen-3). And then to top that off you can add Live Portrait into the mix and act out the facial expressions or dialogue to graft onto the video... the tools just keep flying in and getting better every single time.

Oh the misery.
So children will grow up being exposed to nothing but fake images of physical perfection to which neither they nor their prospective partners can measure up to.
Behavioral change propagandists will indoctrinate prescribed attitudes, behavior and values in the personal lives of consumers (formerly known as people). (admittedly, already happening)
Therefore, megacorps will fuse "AI" fake people, and perhaps robotics, to meet the demand for the perfect partner? The demand which they themselves induced.
Well, perhaps one good thing is that women will no longer complain about been seen merely as sex objects - men won't even see them at all.
