I thrive in incomprehensibility.

The american political system is a cult. And at some point in the last 20 years it's become a suicide cult.

Love this story: Guy was 'down on his luck'; was in a wreck, lost a job, had a heart problem, a reaction to the heart medicine ... then won $100k lottery.

Local news does a story on him and asks him scratch one off so they could film him... and he won another $250k!!!

Georgia (the country) passes it's own version of the US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Georgia's version is far less strict than the US law.

US and Western Response - "wE aRe gOiNG tO sAnCTiON mUh gEorGiA".

The west doesn't like when others restrict foreign influence inside their own borders. Yet another example of "it's only okay when we do it".

Murica! Fuck yea!

Sure 'our' government doesn't just stifle individual sovereignty, they stifle ANY sovereignty other than their own. Seems that's their primary function these days.

These are on sale again. I got them at $59 and a bargain at that (usually $79). They're $55.99 now. I had occasion to use them wired with a plug in guitar amp and they work great via the 1/8th cable too!

"Isn't that a much more adventurous and poetic life"

Here's the secret that they won't tell you, it's actually a more HUMAN life... which of course would also be more adventurous and poetic because humans are poetic and adventurous...

The goal of their roads is the same as the goal of their cities, their schools etc: its to domesticate, and easily herd the most profitable livestock on the planet: 'humans'.

So having just 'muted' someone who's content I don't care to see, I noticed the option to 'report user'.

Now on Nostr, just whop would that report them to?

kinda rhetorical kinda curious..?

Don't know the conference, or if it's just semantics, but Freedom and democracy have VERY little to do with each other.

Democracy is a construct. An illusion of freedom that's been slathered over nation states to make those ruled by a (controllable) mob feel free.

Individual rights must be the immovable object:

The mob says we can take 40% of your income

The mob says we can force people to pay government for the rest of their lives for a home they already paid the seller for.

The mob says we can cage a person for smoking a plant etc.

Your individual rights to keep your property and live your life says none of those things, but government has gotten 'democratic' mobs to say all of those things and much worse.

GM is DEFINITELY extremist code... kinda like FBI.

Has anyone created anything like The Allman Brothers Whipping Post in the last 55 years? Cause I kinda feel like modern music is a bunch of generic whiny drivel that can't convey a fucking thing...?

Don't hate people who people tell you to hate.

Hate people who tell you to hate.

I went to one meeting. It was more depressing than the AA meeting I went to after I stopped drinking.

So there's this Ospry sitting on some eggs on Hog Island...

A client of mine was kind enough to start 529 accounts for two of my grandchildren. Unfortunately she set it up at vanguard.

Are there any companies that offer a 529 with bitcoin / etf exposure?

Nope, not that old...
