I tried to have Grok create an image to accompany this epic #btc prediction post for me. It kept only returning Asian people celebrating NYE. So I asked it to make the people white. This is what it returned. View quoted note → image
Synopsis of the Disappeared in Argentina (Dirty War, 1976–1983) • Background: Argentina’s military dictatorship aimed to eliminate political dissidents during a campaign known as the Dirty War. • Government Control: The regime imposed censorship, dismantled civil liberties, and concentrated power under the pretense of national security. • The Disappeared: Over 30,000 individuals (desaparecidos), including activists, students, and intellectuals, were abducted, tortured, and often murdered. • Tactics Used: • Secret kidnappings. • Detainment without trial. • Torture in clandestine detention centers. • Victims’ bodies were often disposed of in untraceable ways, such as throwing them into the ocean from airplanes. • Response and Resistance: Families of the disappeared, such as the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, risked their lives to demand accountability. • Aftermath: The dictatorship collapsed in 1983, and subsequent investigations revealed the scale of human rights abuses. Many perpetrators faced trials decades later. Importance of the Second Amendment • Self-Defense Against Tyranny: The Dirty War highlights the devastating potential of unchecked state power. Without a means of defense, citizens were unable to resist the regime’s abuses. • Protection of Civil Liberties: An armed populace serves as a deterrent against government overreach and preserves individual freedoms. • Accountability: A disarmed society can be controlled more easily, as seen in Argentina, where citizens had little recourse against a militarized government. • Prevention of Large-Scale Atrocities: While the Second Amendment is not a guarantee against oppression, it offers a structural safeguard by empowering citizens to resist. The tragedy of the disappeared underscores the importance of maintaining checks on government power and protecting fundamental rights, with the Second Amendment playing a crucial role in ensuring those rights.

Frodo lost a finger, got stuck by a Nazgûl blade, and got stung and wrapped by a spider. He could’ve just rode a giant eagle but did he? No. Because Frodo loves hard roads. Frodo is Nostr. Frodo is Bitcoin. Frodo is @ODELL. View quoted note →

The best thing about #nostr is the TAM is literally the entire world minus the 43 current active users.
For many modern day Americans… The certainty that is imbedded in slow managed decline is preferable to the risk of volatility that comes with change. This is true for politics, money, and health.
