I was today years old when I found out that there are people who believe nicotine is not addictive. Nicotine. A drug that chemically fits snug as a bug into our nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in order to increase dopamine, creating a reward stimulus OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ADDICTION. A drug we, as a species, have provably gotten hundreds of millions of lab rats hooked on via vapor, smoke, mini-pumps and injections and OBSERVED THEIR REWARD-SEEKING BEHAVIOR. I think I just found the most punchable idea on earth.

What is the difference between health and wellness? Health is objective, measurable. Wellness just makes some kooky grifter richer.

The same 4 mile walk, two weeks apart. Same pace and total time. Heart rate 10 BPM more chill today than previously. HELTH.

Developing the ability to sense people dumping their pointless bullshit on you is a super power. The biggest challenge is knowing when it's happening. Head it off by saying something like "Hey I have to go to bed. " or "Is there something that I can do to help?" This causes them to realize they've hit a dead end and they should go find someone else that feels obligated to pretend like they give a shit.

Fiat job offer: Pros: stop spending bitcoin, insurance isn’t ass, keeps me off the streets, in-laws approve Cons: 8 hour humiliation ritual, the eventual HR intervention, 5 hour coffee/poop/workout morning ritual must be compressed into 60 minutes

There is no "Bitcoiners". There are people who own Bitcoin, and among them, there is a diminishingly small cohort of retards who make a lot of noise about stacking sats and seed oils and meat and the train not stopping. That's really no different than any small cohort of very online people with an outsized sense of being some sort of collective main character. Like woke dipshits. Or the "space is fake" people.

All the ddult-aged children defacing works of art are about to get the fossil-fuel usage draw-down that they've always dreamed of, amd it will give me life.

All the Ron Paul anarcho-capitalists should be having the biggest "I told you so" moment in history. But they don't participate in reality, are the most paranoid, ineffective organizers on earth, and therefore nobody knows who they are or what the fuck they believe. All they have accomplished in 20 years has been to mount a caucus in an irrelevant political party.

What is a metric that I can use to prove that seed oils are objectively bad for my health? Like, if I exercise, don't eat processed foods, get plenty of sleep and sun my balls like a retard, but I cook everything in seed oils, what will go haywire that will show up on a blood test?

Whomp whomp. Turns out Jeff was just clout farming. View quoted note →

I have a nostr list called "Fucking Influencers Saying the Same Shit Over and Over", and it is almost a 100% overlap with the Wisp Trending feed.

Jack Kruse is a crank and an affinity grifter.

If bitcoin requires an ideological layer to work, that's fucking stupid.

"People never got sunburns before we all started eating seed oils in the 70's" You can just research the history of sumburn. Spoiler: humans have always experienced sunburn. People wore clothes and used parasols. The fucking EGYPTIANS used rice paste (which actually reflected UV). The Greeks used olive oil (roughly SPF 8). The US army used some shit called red vet pet paste in the 40's, and that eventually evolved into the formula for Coppertone.

Shut up, Donnie. We doing PetroSats now. View quoted note →
