They wanna keep us on the hook like the fish
Soon the poor ain't gonna have shit to eat except the rich
Yeah they love you when you're dead

Still sitting here with this bird on her bed

Discussing conspiracies that I've read
Leaving me full of existential dread
Hopped in my sled, and then off I sped

The absolute biggest thing I've learnt as I've grown up is that materialism really cannot make you happy.
Wealth itself, I'd argue, is a neutral tool that can be used in fulfilling ways or destructive ways depending on the person who holds it.
But absolutely no one has ever become a fulfilled person from buying designer clothes, bigger houses, and faster cars.
Short dopamine bursts are not happiness. And like any substance that causes a quick dopamine release, what goes up must come down.

Like you're saying here let em put their money where their mouth is or stfu.
They want you in perpetual debt as a form of control.
Fiat money is the mechanism through which this power is coerced.

Reddit is banning VPNs... probably old news but damn they're going downhill.
Usually only listen to rap but this is a sick high energy track ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Not sure if the bug is in Amethyst or Phoenix but when I zap from that setup there's like a 50% chance the zap isn't registered on Nostr even though the sats are sent and the zap is set to public.
Anyone else?
I forgot how good Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was
