For a few years now I've wonder how the hell I could monetize open rebellion...

The conclusion is to starve myself in public while creating illegal, provocative content, spending what I earn in the only real, free markets left on the planet, like here!

Sounds like a plan, eh?

People tend to view art and beauty as additions and auxiliaries to the pragmatic, rational, regimented, utility-focused “real life.” I think it’s the other way around. Materialistic and rigid “real life” only exists for us to be able to fully experience and appreciate the magic of poetry, of art, of beauty, of nature, of life itself. That’s love. And that’s what life’s all about. Clip from: Dead Poets Society (1989)

How to reduce crime and taxes: Legalize drugs and prohibit their use in public

Today there has been talk, at least I have been doing so, about freedom of expression, the right to privacy.

This has been in light of the news about X censorship, where some point out that it is possible that Elon is manipulating information, since he accuses various governments and personalities of censoring X when he himself is censoring on his platform.

Another news has been related to the arrest of Durov.

The legal measures in Florida to confiscate books in schools, and the approval of laws that allow mass surveillance in the European Union.

Some of this news may not be entirely true or may be manipulated, like that of the magnate Elon, others may be an excuse to violate the privacy and rights of citizens. But what we can be sure of is that all governments, whatever their line, do not want citizens to have the political, economic and civil freedom that corresponds to them.

So let us be aware that a real hostile scenario is presenting itself before us. Let's protect our privacy and rights by adopting Bitcoin, utilizing FoS protocols like Nostr for social networking, which already exist, and other applications or clients that give us the freedom we desire.

Very happy with the price being lower for more stacking :)

I've successfully migrated my old raspi 4 node to Start OS. My lightning node had been offline so long it's a year of blocks behind and all of them need to be scanned.

Hello, I am new to this platform, they have told me that you learn a lot here, and I am very interested in the world of Bitcoin, they have told me that they do surveys, comments on the qualities of the human being, and the world of business and others. Other things that are interesting, I hope to learn from what I read here and advance in this great world with great projects.😉

It's first September Hope this month goes well for everyone Love from Nepal ❤️

At university I had a professor I really liked, he taught my favorite subject and we always talked, he had to leave Venezuela for reasons we already know; he emigrated to Brazil. Years later I saw that he made posts in support of socialism in Brazil, at first I thought it was a mistake or that it was sarcasm... Until Milei won in Argentina and he made another post showing his discontent. I wrote to him immediately: Why do you support the left? - He answered me: "In the case of Argentina, because it was the least bad. It was the left or barbarism." I blocked him immediately, I wanted to insult him and say: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN YOUR MIND?? YOU LEFT VENEZUELA BECAUSE YOUR PROFESSOR'S SALARY WAS ONLY ENOUGH FOR COFFEE!! YOUR FATHER DIED AND YOU COULD NOT BE WITH HIM. DID YOU FORGET THE LINES TO GET FOOD AND MEDICINE??? ... I saved my words, I didn't say anything to him, it was a great disappointment for me, how can someone so intelligent be an imbecile at the same time? Now that Lula banned X in Brazil I wanted to write to him: I told you so. Once again I saved my words. https://m.stacker.news/49308

Ah, September. Football, cooler weather, kids back in school, market crashes... and 58k. Didn’t see that one coming 😂

Day 503 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

__@_'-'

Yesterday I had a productive and active day here, taking advantage of the work break.

Today I hope it will be the same. In general I ended my day happy and Stacker News gives me the possibility to find everything and gives me the opportunity to express what I think, although at some point I have to be careful, because we all have the right to express what we think but we have the duty to respect the rights of others and not to harm others. But anyway I feel very happy. I hope we are all the same today.

Some will not be able to be happy because something does not allow them to be, my most sincere wish is that they can solve whatever this is if it is in their hands, but if they can't then they have the strength to endure.

Day 219 of the #100aDayTil100k challenge, sets breakdown: 4 or 5x32 normal/narrow, 16 pike; Total: 144 or 176 (Day 323 of 100+ pushups per day in total; day 222 of 120+ pushups per day) Yes I somehow managed to lose count of my number of sets 😄 I made sure I hit my minimum in either case though

Day 258 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 783 sats on 31Aug2024! Running total: 169,515 sats!

The official narrative regarding the “The No Fly List” describes it as a database controlled by the United States Federal Government and maintained by the “Terrorist Screening Center” using an algorithmic ruleset, issued by various government agencies and airlines to decide who to allow and deny to board airline flights, under the guise of “national security”.

However this “official narrative” is quickly defeated when it becomes apparent that what is truly being said; the list is for people so dangerous they should never be allowed to fly on an airplane, yet so innocent that they cannot be arrested.

This conflict of narratives exposes the truth; taking away your right to travel if you do not do as you are told.

However, and this should be obvious:

When did you give your authority to be added to this list, and who did you give permission to?

My English is good, but I think I would have flunked this test

Happy Sunday Stackers !

Stack Sats and stay humble.
