i think there was a glimmer of hope because most people were morally disgusted by him at the time for sure

gives me an idea for a post in health about how they used to use old steroid chemicals and change up or add molecules to market new supplements to stay one step ahead of being banned

one i often come back to is 'those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter'

because, generally, it's very true

does selling small parts of my soul for assmilking sats on SN count?

I mean, we always get geriatrics eventually. the intersection of pricing and morals in the medical field is an interesting one.

When COVID was kicking off and there was a story going around about this guy who had stockpiled hand sanitiser. Amazon and eBay banned his listings under anti–price gouging policies (he was trying to sell it for 70 dollars a bottle).

He was investigated by the Tennessee Attorney General for price gouging, which is illegal during a state of emergency.

All the sellers in my group (a big Amazon seller group on facebook basically) thought it was a crime and it was just smart arbitrage, but personally, I found it distasteful, bad optics at a minimum. After all, you could jack it up to ten bucks, still make a ton, and it wouldn't have been a big deal.

ill 100% get this at some poitn, since i like Nintendo IP and play with the kids also, but i wont get it for like 4 years, by then there should actually be a decent size game library

i think there is just always a fixed % of the population that are genetically hard-coded to be simps or something. it will never change and there's a new one minted every day. like the lion and the gazelle

this. you have endless free porn, hookers, strip clubs, massage parlours. everything under the sun, and still they want to chat online to an of model.

you can hire one irl ffs!

i used to be all for flying cars after growing up looking at them in scifi films, but after so many years driving and just seeing how shit most people are at that, I'm fine with no flying cars.

i mean, these days with ai, creative professions are even more risky than they always were.

it's sad that a person has to basically become a porn worker to just afford life, it also sends a bad message to legions to girls growing up, IMO.

I'm not saying it should be banned or anything, just dystopian.

that being said, i often read that most OF models fail to make any money, I'm still amazed any man would pay for it though. like , free porn has been a thing for over 20 years

i sway from mostly a twist and tuck to a bag clip user

bit late, but yes, i did mean BSV. my brain reversed the order and fucked it up , twice!

a super tribe is a good way of putting it

i meant VOS lol, vision of satoshi

for sure, we need a sense of purpose, makes life more fulfilling

people dont replace religion with those things, they just add them into the mix for an even more explosive tribal combination lol

i mean, whatever works for you, i am usually driving for a minimum of an hour a day, and podcasts are what i like to listen to , radio is shit.

for me it doesn't replace reading, it's just a side thing

always nice to see reports like this of btc adoption and progress irl and not just from the corporate stuff

easy one here and it's people's mistreatment of animals and often needless cruelty/neglect (ie, getting a dog and leaving in on a short chain outside all day).

There's no logic to it even, like if you wanted a guard dog, it's on a chain, it couldn't get a thief if it wanted to.

not so much a city thing, but more a rural village thing

it worked out well for Peter in the end tho lol

Echoing @jimmysong, I think a lot depends on the existing moral foundation, plus the age at which you get the wealth.

like if you gave me a million+ dollars (or ten million, whatever), no strings attached now, my life would basically not change, I would still do the exact same things, play the same games etc. I would maybe get a nicer car and finish off the various garden construction projects.

But if was 15 or 20 at my peak retadrd phase, I probably would have made generally bad decisions, maybe not all bad, but possibly majority bad. I may have become a douche also, I like to think I wouldn't have, but who knows
