Court to SEC

I’m sick and tired of people sticking with X, even though its algorithm is shit, seeing content is shit, glitches and is all around shit, the ethos and philosophy Elon has for it is shit.

Bitcoiners especially have no excuse my god.

But we all know why they stick with it…

Proper shampoo and conditioner containers open from the bottom now. That way when they get low, the product pools near the opening while it is sitting there and still comes out easily, rather than the user having to struggle like a fool to get the remaining product out of a container with the opening on the top and the product pooled on the bottom.

So the fact that the vast majority of containers still open from the top seems idiotic to me. Why don’t they all open from the bottom, ever since someone figured out the right way to do this?

Anyway, I save these types of important posts for Nostr.

I always thought pro free speech and anti-govt and anti-war was liberal, and so I would say that I'm liberal.

When did this change

Trying to get up to speed on nostr so that I never have to use X again. But at the risk of sounding like a moron, can somebody please explain the zap sitch to me like I’m a moron.

I don’t normally use wallet or satoshi, but I have an address linked to my nostr account. It’s the generic wallet of satoshi address since I haven’t done enough transactions yet yo customize.

I’m getting zapped, but I don’t know where those days are going. And I’d like to do some zapping. But nothing is showing up when I click wallet, despite me having some sats in my wallet of satoshi address that is purportedly linked to my nostr profile.

What am I missing?

So many people casting rich men north of Richmond as right wing. I’m a punk rocker at heart and the first thing I thought when I heard it was wow, that’s pretty punk rock. And his statements since have borne that out. But you don’t have to look very far to find lyrics in songs many would consider left-wing in ethos that are totally analogous to parts or all of rich men north of Richmond.

But that being said, it reminds me most of springsteen. And people forget how misunderstood “born in the USA” repeatedly is. The recurring line is not patriotism, it’s deeply felt angst of being treated unjustly and of having your life taken from you in a number of different ways, a lot of which is perpetrated by rich men, either north of Richmond or elsewhere.

The protagonist is “born down in a dead man’s town” where the first kick he took is when he “hits the ground.” He describes ending up like “a dog that’s been beat too much” and spending half his life just to cover that feeling up. Sound familiar?

He gets sent to Vietnam to get out of sole trouble. He’s told to kill for his country. He comes home to look for a job and is told nothing is available. He notes he had a brother over there with him who’s long gone, despite the enemy he was there to fight still remaining. The futility of the war.

The song ends with one of Bruce’s most powerful closers:

“Down in the shadow of the penitentiary

Out by the gas fires of the refinery

10 years burning down the road

Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go…

Born in the USA.”

I also thought of Bruce’s “the River,” which also works a similar vein of disenchantment, resignation, and angst, particularly with the state of the inflationary economy of 1980:

“I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company

But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy

Now all them things that seemed so important, well mister they vanished right into the air

Now I just act like I don't remember, Mary acts like she don't care..”

It’s interesting to me how much things have changed that the left can now reflexively refer to rich men north of Richmond as right wing. But it’s also interesting how incorrect it is for GOP candidates to cosplay as springsteenian protagonists, too.

seems that the people really do be lovin’ JFK over here

as someone who’s not as familiar with the US history, what makes him stand out so much from all the other presidents?

I think we have another 6 months of painful Bitcoin price action.

This is a huge opportunity to accumulate for the convicted.

I was reflecting on how few major corporations I actually trust, so I tried to come up with a list.

So here’s a very short list of Corporations i kinda trust (sort of)

Costco

Trader Joe’s

In n out

Trust in this case meaning I trust them to source quality product, treat the customer with respect and deliver a good product and experience.

What are some examples you could add to the list?

Who's the first Presidential candidate to join Nostr?
