Luke Dashjr has been an inconsistent, and flakey character since I've been paying attention to him. He definitely has some con-artist vibes to him. I'm not 100% on this but my gut instinct on people is extremely accurate as I've learned over the years.

We are hosting my in-laws side for Christmas this year. Pretty much everyone is either a moderate or a aggressive team-blue democrat. There are maybe 2-3 younger family members who don't subscribe to the narrative unthinkingly. There are 2 boomer men who are "the elders" of the bunch. They both have issues with me because I march to the beat of my own drum and don't "kiss the robe" per se. One of them is an old deputy sheriff who definitely carries himself accordingly if you get my drift. So the 2 elder men try to gang up against me and coerce me into conformance as much as they are socially able. I have always been open and honest and listen more than I talk, but nonetheless they can tell that I do not conform and it bothers them. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. Maybe just partly ranting and wondering if anyone else is going through similar stuff during the holidays?

Half of me is amazed at the people that somehow became "orangepilledish?" but then think it's good to use mining pools that exclude coin joins. The other half of me, says fine, let them self-select themselves out of the money. Maybe someday they can fork themselves out too.

I wonder what the true intention of regulators is here...

What percentage of FBI agents investigating bitcoiners end up getting orange pilled? best guess.

Graphene veterans: what is the best app store in your opinion? 1) Fdroid: seems like the convenient but less secure option? 2) Obtanium: seems like more work bure more secure option? 3) Accrescent: ??? I'm just getting started so any advice would be great!
