Saying its spreading kinda implies they are related. They aren't. But the conditions are ripe for fires. You probably know that but for others I'm writing this.

I have big plans for 2025 (big for me at least).

I keep meaning to set it up. I've set it up in the past but never really used it.

Just to follow up. Minibts found the issue and resolved it. Thank you anon

Hopefully they can keep it from hitting Santa Clarita.

Well... gonna have to take the looooong way.

Thankfully less populated area. Planning to be driving through that area in the morning on my way to SoCal.

Really enjoyed Jack busting Odell's balls about his Nostr content.

Also Jack's comments on Meta and Zuck make a lot of sense. Additionally his comments about the advertisers being a problem aligns with what Adam Curry and John Dvorak have said for years.

There are government influences and corporate influences. Both result in censorship and distortions.

What a title, sheesh.

Yeah for sure but I like using the government's strategies against them.

Oh man... the lotteries scam.

What a clown. Bitcoin exposes people. Over and over again.

I have long stopped valuing the corporate media's "analysis" of Trump and politics in general. They still seem to intentionally not understand Trump's methods. For the sake of the Ukrainian and Russian people I hope this war ends soon.

Steady healthy growth is good. Fast growth or growth at all costs is fiat minded, IE high time preference. Most social media is high time preference, high noise to signal, and low value.

I think the best way to promote healthy growth on SN is to create good content. If there are topics you care about write about them. If there are things you want to learn ask about them. There's a lot of knowledge on this site. If there is valuable content zap it and zap it hard. Value for value.

We can only hope they do. The states already have these tools and a level playing field is the best defense. You can't stop technology but democratizing it can offer a counter balance. This is why the US 2A should be the right to use technology and not just arms. Encryption was classified as a munition so it should be protected by 2A in my book. I'm sure I'm not the only person that has thought this.

Relationships and community are vital. If I were to only have community and quality relationships with people that saw the world like me then I wouldn't be alone but I'd be much more vulnerable.

Many years ago I realized that I'd been under a psyop by entire life. The only reason I learned this was because of how I'm wired. Same reason I found bitcoin. Curiosity. Not being afraid to disagree with literally everyone around me because I think they are missing something. Most people aren't wired that way. It doesn't make them less than me. It makes them different.

I believe in building bridges. I don't mean online but in person with relationships. I have found more like-minded people and watched more people one their minds in the past 5 years than at any period in my life. There are way too many doomers in bitcoin.

The US government is going to fail. I don't believe the people will. There are a ton of sheep but they aren't all as dumb as they appear. I'm hopeful. Bitcoin is going to slowly transform culture and how we organize ourselves. I'm bullish.

It is absurd and its gonna get more absurd. IMO this is good because the reality is that its always been absurd but those at the top were better at hiding it all. The emperor has no clothes. Never did.

We don't need these clowns and its gonna take a long time for a critical mass to learn that lesson.

Nah, I'm proud to be an American. Separation of Nation and state. Sure the a large number of the population believes in the state, but that is true of most nations.

Take a look at Darth's guide. I haven't tried LineageOS myself but I plan to do so. There's also CalyxOS which supports non-pixel phones but Lineage has broader phone support.

Huh, I didn't realize he directed Deep Web.
