Most annoying physics in our universe: drop something even a short distance and that shit can go infinitely far sideways on level ground with nothing but friction to slow it down until it hits something. Result: always goes under furniture regardless of how far away.

Is it just me or has LGBTQ+ pretty much eliminated the concept of “shallowness?” If you like what you like, why should it be frowned upon if you prefer a certain type of woman and others just don’t do it for you?

With the help of AI, CBDCs can be basically done with just new reporting requirements. Banks are required to report all transactions (not just $10k+) to IRS which then have AI flag activity for more review. I think they don’t even need CBDCs to get specifically approved to get much of its surveillance.

Tech minimalist Bitcoiners are funny. Here are some hard pills for them to swallow: - Internet-connected cameras at home are superior home security. You can monitor your house and operate home automation systems from anywhere. - Modern EVs are superior. You can get electricity from pretty much anywhere. The grid, solar, diesel generator, even a homemade steam engine - chop trees and throw fuckin logs in there! - Your AR-15 won’t help much against Neuralink’ed invaders who have 360 degree vision and telepathically control drone swarms. (Still wouldn’t have a Neuralink that could do that installed but would an open source equivalent)

“Protect cryptocurrency investments” likely means crack down on/ban coinjoins and encourage storing your coins with 3rd parties. View quoted note →

Is there any serious testing being done on post-quantum algorithms for Bitcoin yet? If not, why?

Don’t forget, tech like the Meta Smart glasses can be turned on the State for inverse surveillance. Dox the FBI goons they send to your door to harass you about your social media posts.

Glad I deleted Twitter long ago. Strongly considering replacing my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts (neither of which I’ve updated in years) with fake chaff information and AI generated pics. View quoted note →

*sigh* …. “Bitcoin is a risk-on asset” degens have such deep pockets.

Hypothetically, what would happen if the US stopped propping up Israel with massive defense spending?

I believe there’s a significant chance that the appearance of humanity is the “Big Bang” of consciousness in the universe. I.e. the chance of it appearing anywhere is as infinitesimally small as the chance of a quantum fluctuation spawning an entire universe.

Open source, DIY-possible metal 3D printing seems to be getting closer. Wow, the complexity though!
