Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
“If you seek tranquility, do less. Or, more accurately, do what’s essential—what the logos of a social being requires, and in the requisite way. Which brings a double satisfaction: to do less, better.”

I was recently meditating among all the issues that can arise from this movie, (The Matrix) as it was a real prediction, how AI would reach the chasm and today many AI projects are shocking the world, in the biblical concept there is much to expose and in the technological concept many ideas that today are fulfilled in today's society, however nothing was said about BTC, that makes it unpredictable and a way to improve the system, as AI has come a long way but not always used for good purposes. However, to use BTC to improve the world economy, as countries, communities paying and using payment gateways in BTC, would help hospitals, schools, NGO's, etc... what do you consider my dear stackers?
Neo is in a simulation by himself. He never escapes. The story he believes himself to be the main character of is meant to keep him occupied.
There is no escape.
Porn is the epitome of the “blue pill” for the modern man - it’s all of your greatest fantasies, at your fingertips, instantly - should you choose to engage. But none of it is real. It’s an illusion; and a prison.
In that sense, it resembles economic growth induced by government spending a lot. It looks good on a screen. But that’s it.
I don't know about that.
In my opinion, porn can be part of a healthy relationship. And in the absence of a relationship, it can be the next best thing.
In Korea, access to porn is blocked, pushing people to go outside of normal boundaries. Arguably leading to extreme cases of expression of one's sexuality, as exemplified by the Nth room case. This case involved lots of frustrated men that lost track of what is right and what is wrong.
Then again, one could also argue that too much access to porn is what led to this distorted worldview.
For me, it's all ok, either way. If my son, in a few years, wants to watch, just wanna make sure he does it without the feeling of guilt. While at the same time, knowing it is not a replacement for real relationships and knowing that what some porn actors do is not representative of what happens in most bedrooms.
Personally I believe that sexual energy can be transmuted into other types of creative energies, even though it is definitely not easy. A bunch of old spirituality/religious stuff is predicated on that whole notion, perhaps most famously the Tantric texts & teachings.
I've also read a little bit of the book "Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Chi Kung: The Secret of Youth" by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming which goes into that subject very deeply as well.

I hit the jackpot! 😁 But hey, I returned half of it to you! Thank you.
Nice!!
I applied to the Boss chaincode class after weeks of self doubt. But I was like screw it let them tell me no if I am not good enough for their program.
So I fill out everything and I’m like okay this isn’t so bad. I hit the submit button.
Immediately get an email from chaincode that says we got your application but we are not going to review it until you complete this exercise.
So I’m like thinking hey it’s probably going to be a quiz on bitcoin stuff like what is a blockchain and what is mempool and what is P2SH?
But nope they want you to build Bitcoin Core from source and change the code to do some things. All from this GitHub classroom.
And already I am thinking this was a big mistake. But I am going to give it an honesty effort to complete the task tomorrow. I have until January 3rd to complete the exercise.
Odds are I will get rejected and I will look for other ways to improve my education and skills around Bitcoin development
That's awesome! Most of us (I presume) would have just packed it in.

End of an Era: Generation Alpha has ended as 2024 ends & Generation Beta starts now as per Mark McCrindle who coined the term "Generation Alpha".
Reminds me I posted about Bryan Caplan's book here a long time ago: #447563 but I never gathered the courage and time to engage in that thread. Seems like it's just a topic that people feel very strongly about (be it in favor or against).
I am totally with you and Caplan when it comes to borders.
It’s not easy to have any meaningful conversation about politics with @Bell_curve.

Happiness Journal 1/1/25
Today is Japanese New Year, so my family and I went to the nearby temple to pray for a smooth year ahead. It is also when the national retirement annuity fund in my country announces the interest I garnered for the whole of last year. Don’t shit on me, okay. This scheme is compulsory. The money is automatically deducted from my salary every month, in fact. Anyway, I gain a satisfying amount of interest, so I feel energised to take on 2025!
Welcome to 2025 stackers
Happy New Year Stackers! 🎉🚀😊
1/365 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉
Let the work continue 💪🤠🍊⚡

Bitcoin and my family were the source of happiness in 2024.
The source of unhappiness was not yet possessing all the SATS necessary to accomplish my goals.
I cure my unhappiness by working every day to increase my stack.
I cultivate my happiness by seeking to Stack as many SATS as I can each day, and by working on being a better father and husband as the year progresses.
Take it easy
Keep it Simple & Stupid
