Cool! Did you design the cover as well as the content?
Plato, who was never seen laughing, and had given himself the model of avoiding the evils and unpleasant situations of society, was asked two questions :
“What are the behaviors of people that surprise you the most?”
Plato enumerated them in order: “They get bored in childhood and hurry to grow up, but then they miss their childhood. They lose their health to earn money, but they pay money to regain their health. Worried about tomorrow, they forget about today. In the end, they live neither today nor tomorrow, they live as if they will never die, but they die as if they had never lived.”
Then came the second question. “So what do you suggest?”
The sage enumerated again: “Don’t try to make anyone like you, the only thing to do is to leave yourself to be loved. And the most important thing to achieve happiness in life, is not to have the most, but to need the least.
Prior to the passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913, the United States government funded its operations mainly through excise taxes, tariffs, customs duties and public land sales. The federal government had relatively few expenses compared to today and did not have as much need to raise large amounts of money.
Hopefully you had shoes on. My mental simulator says “Owch!”
How about a peel-off label/sticker/badge that you can keep in a “wine passport”?
Give the passport book out free with a subscription to buying wine. Let users fill up pages with stickers and notes of wines they drank.
But what if your kiddie brain can’t tolerate anything deeper than the kiddie pool?
Was this an intentional mistake, or did they not even know? 
So there can’t be a “zap” button below a note to trigger a payment interface, but there can be a “zap” emoji that triggers a payment interface?
Everyone is trying to sell you something. Everything is an advertisement.
Everything is is psy-op.
Did you all know that Puerto Rico, a US territory, celebrates July 4th with fireworks. Like, I understand America wants to commemorate the date they won their independence from England by saying ‘enough of this bullshit, we’re not going to be your puppet colony any more.’ But why does Puerto Rican, who are under USA’s thumb, celebrate the 4th? It’s kind of ironic, no?
Some weeks ago I was reading Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aloud at bed-time to my son, who of course does not understand it but appreciates the sound of the words all the same, when I discovered that its famous title was in fact not the original! The original title was significantly more radical: "Resistance to Civil Government."
It's quite short, and I would encourage everyone here to read (or re-read) it. It is still tremendously relevant. Re-reading it with the original (un-sanitized) title in mind, it lands even harder.
These days, Thoreau would probably get his door kicked in.

Thanks for the tip, its now on my short list.
Leaving the blue bird for the purple bird feels hard- like leaving a concert for a backyard BBQ. Mostly FOMO keeps me on the other platform. But as more good content comes this way I’m excited to be here more.
I think most of the world is retarded. Bullish is being hopeful they wake the F up.
This seems to coincide with the timing of “operation Chokepoint 2.0” narrative that the US is preparing to heavily regulate, restrict, and squeeze crypto into compliance
Good job Weather Channel, I definitely am interested in this info now.
