Last Notes npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss There’s social pressure, and there’s getting your head chopped off. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss of course you *can*, but crying about cultural appropriation is pussified npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Few thoughts about the Odyssey which I haven't seen though I might at some point, probably on an airplane: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Can be arranged! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Healthcare cannot be a fundamental right like free speech because it requires other people to do something for you. To treat you, pay for you, etc. That's always got to be voluntary. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Why am I talking? I made a substantive post about something on my mind which you unsolicitedly trolled rather than engaging on the substance. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss LOL “hide and run” — anon troll accusing someone who puts his name and photo on every post of hiding and running! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Trolling just to troll, adding zero of value, got it npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Think this dude is alleging I used AI to write this post. Not true. I’m a professional writer, never used AI to compose anything, don’t need it, don’t want it. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss People talk about money printing by the banks (every new mortgage or loan is a print), but I would bet that's rivaled, if not exceeded, by the healthcare industrial complex (HIC). npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Did they try "password"? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss bullish npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss So you're saying OJ won't kill you? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Yeah I just kind of threw in gravity but how is electron movement not perpetual motion? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss As someone who takes language literally and believes in its logic, this has been a hard truth for me to grasp/accept. But once you see it, it's obviously, self-evidently so. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss People are driven by incentives, don't let language fool you. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Went away for 11 days, came back, was smoking a cigar on my balcony, and a pigeon brushed by my head very close. Was like WTF, then noticed an egg sitting in an empty pot near the railing. Now I look out the window, and there’s the pigeon sitting on it, and there’s two eggs. Not thrilled to have a pigeon taking over my small cigar smoking lounge/herb garden, but don’t have the heart to do anything about it. The empty pot is in the corner, away from the herbs, and I’m going away again next week for 12 days. Suicidal empathy probably, but assuming these dudes will hatch and fly away. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss EU chat control passing in the shady way it did is good news. They were spying anyway, now the tech cos have to show their hands by complying or not. Second order effect is incentive for freedom tech innovation/adoption. This is what winning looks like — desperate flailing and overreach of illegitimate authorities. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss A lot of you are fake and full of shit. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Whenever economic problems arise, I like to ask the village idiot what he thinks should be done about it. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss @nprofile…xr40 knows what I'm talking about npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Ha --we'll see npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss You joke but there's truth in that. Banks are coming after him IMO because STRC was a real threat. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Remember when MSTR mooned, and Saylor was CIA? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss maybe it's that npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss no one is still taking covid boosters, right? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Good article. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss There are no socialists -- every one of them is stingy af when it comes to their own property. The ideology of socialism is just a framework that justifies their meddling. They are a bunch of meddlers. They are miserable and they want to spread it to everyone else. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss That's not capitalism. That's the law of the jungle. Capitalism implies property rights. Without property rights, there is no capitalism. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss How can private citizens "own" anything unless there are rules protecting private property? That's what it means to own something, that someone else is not allowed to take if from you with force, i.e., they can only convince you to part with it *voluntarily*. If I can steal your property, then there is no ownership. And it's not capitalism. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I agree, capitalism is not about moralizing, it's just a natural state of affairs when people are left to trade and exchange value. But theft and fraud are NOT part of capitalism because the exchange is not voluntary. Capitalism needs *some* top down intervention, e.g., a legal system that punishes crime, but so what? That doesn't mean we should be redistributing wealth indiscriminately. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Capitalism doesn't need to be tried, it's the default state of affairs when people are free to exchange goods and services voluntarily. Conflating that with what happens when people capture parts of the system and rent-seek is the sleight of hand. There will always be rent seeking and crony capitalism but it's a baby/bathwater situation. The alternative (indiscriminate forced wealth redistribution) is all bathwater. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Common sleight of hand is to conflate capitalism with crony capitalism. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Excerpt from latest podcast. Link to full: https://www.chrisliss.com/p/preference-falsification npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss If you bought the credit, you traded fiat for a promise in fiat. If you sold the credit, you traded a promise to pay in fiat for bitcoin. How could the BTCTCs get margin called in that scenario? They seem to be at greater risk for a margin call in the event of dollar deflation. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss What’s up with all the low-quality AI reply bots? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss The communists will probably try to burn me at the stake eventually but think I’m gonna take up golf this fall. Got a friend who wants to do it, knows a cheap 9-hole course. Almost nothing I’d rather do than play a sport outside in the fresh air. Got into Padel 15 months ago and am playing 3x a week. Reminds me of when I used to play basketball all the time in my late 20s in LA almost 30 years ago. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Congrats! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Listen to the Arch Independent Podcast episode on Epstein. I actually now think Kash Patel, Bongino and Trump when he said it was a hoax were telling the truth. Not that Epstein didn't do a lot of what he was alleged to have done, but not at the behest of governments or intelligence agencies. When he was asked in August of 2024 whether he'd release the files Trump said he'd do it, but in a very non-committal way. Maybe afterward they claimed they'd do it as it surely reonsated with voters, but it wasn't a huge part of the campaign. And the warmongers seem pretty disappointed in the scope of the Iran conflict. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss And that was the point of the OP. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I’m saying you can’t be a freedom fundamentalist. Freedom is the freedom to be wrong. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Right, depends upon what the consequences are for dissent. If you call someone a racist who disagrees with you and by “racist” you mean anyone reading should excommuniucate that person from their lives including their employer, you are advocating for coercion. If by “ought” you mean in your opinion you think it would benefit them, but there should be no added consequence except foregoing those benefits, then yes. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss You can say what others ought NOT to do if it interferes with you, but you can’t say what they ought to believe or do. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Think there can be substantive discussion about what level of top-down control is ideal for maintaining conditions of bottom-up prosperity (the only kind). I’m for the minimum amount necessary and think zero leads to communism as people overcorrect. But whether I am right or wrong is a matter of how aligned I am with reality not whether it puts me in the “good” or “bad” camp, according to the particular tribal edicts of Twitter or Nostr. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss It’s not wrong, so long as you are not purporting to say what someone else ought to be doing. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Both are fake, empty tribal signaling. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Found out the other day I have a screw loose. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss MSTR’s coins are still part of the network. They just have contracts with preferred shareholders to pay them in fiat later for fiat provided now. Investors in the common have contractual ownership over future balance sheet assets. Both are taking on counterparty risk of course but the network itself doesn’t care. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss People on Nostr calling you a statist is like people on woke Twitter calling you a racist. It’s meant as a way to disparage your character and dismiss you totally but no one cares anymore. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I don’t care about Bitcoin. I just care about living a good life. It just so happens Bitcoin creates the right incentives and the opportunity to live as you’d like us under threat from bad ones. But don’t put the cart before the horse. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Older I get, the more distaste I have for puritans, especially around the subject of freedom tech. How can you be a freedom fundamentalist? Contradiction in terms. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Two contradictory thoughts about the spectacle on the White House lawn: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Agree with the first part, but why would he be “compromised?” Just seems like that’s something the legacy media has repeated endlessly from Russiagate to the Epstein Files without basis. I mean I’m sure he’s looking out for his backers like all politicians but the “compromised” thing just seems facile to me. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss One reason a dog makes such a good friend to a person is you can both comfortably walk the same pace. Contrast with having say a pet snail -- would be too frustrating. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss People are salty because they missed the trade the first time, happy to see the price get knocked down now. Most of the vitriol is just pettiness IMO. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Haven't eaten Portobellos since npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Saw that, was wondering what it was about too npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss This is fucking retarded npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I've given up convincing brainwashed people that Trump is just a president to be evaluated on the merits like any other, that he'll do some good, some bad, that one should only believe what one can verify, etc. The TDS is so crazy now, there is no hope to get through. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Don't know why but have been shocked especially of late by the brainwashing. Was talking with someone with TDS, asked her what policies specifically are you against, she said putting people "in cages" "treating them like animals". I said you know Obama deported more than Trump. She said, yes but he deported bad people, Trump's deportations "are not vetted." I asked what basis she had for believing that, and she admitted there was none. So Obama deported more people than Trump, and forced deportation of someone who presumably doesn't want to be deported entails holding facilities (cages) and force. I asked why the emotional language (animals, cages) around Trump's admittedly lower deportation rates, she says, "Just because the other guy did it, doesn't make it right!" I said, yes, but you never once mentioned Obama's deportations, and when I asked you about policies, you mentioned Trump's and used emotional lanaguage (cages, animals). She said you can't really think the people around Trump are smart, that Hegseth, he's the worst! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss You might want to turn on this Djokovic match -- insanely high level, now in the fifth set. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss that's exactly what I was getting at -- all the EV is in the long tail that you'll never see. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Djokovic playing like the GOAT so far today. Amazing to watch. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss real man vibecodes a portal to the fifth dimension, runs it on his raspberry pi npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Went through to delete old voicemails on my phone, like 50 of them over the lastt 6 months. Most of them were some kind of tax/banking/loan emergency or cash windfall I needed to follow up on asap. All of them sounded like real people at real companies/government entities. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Last night, while reading in bed, heard the faint buzz of a mosquito. Saw it on the wall few feet above. Tried to smash it with my book, but it got away, went up to the ceiling which is like 12 feet high in this old apartment. There was no way I could turn out the lights and go to bed with it there -- it would torment me all night. What could I do? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Lyn Alden's sci-fi book (reads like an action movie script) is pretty good. Wouldn't be surprised if someone optioned it for a series or movie. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Think I'm gonna be part of the control group == yet again! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I think I'm gonna be part of the control group == yet again! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss If Ashley St. Clair says so, I'm taking this very seriously! npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Dude is performing a useful experiment on his own dime even if his ideas are self-evidently retarded at times. You want to be protected from the thing under which all life evolved since time immemorial? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Leftists and libertarians wind up in the same place over time. Limited government is a harder thing to articulate than no government or total government, but doing so is the only way to propserity. Top down only to the minimum extent necessary for bottom up prosperity. A structure to contain the empty space. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Nostr is still small, there's little engagement, you don't see all your notifications on every client, too many monomaniacal purists, libertarians, leftists, conspiracy theorists (of which I'm one), anons and retards. And yet it still has the energy of a "public square" to me. Twitter, I'm not sure what it's become. I post less and less there, not because I'm a purist or "it's fiat" or anything stupid like that. It's just feels dead, the energy is gone, there's no juice to it any more. I can't explain exactly what it is, there are still some good follows, interesting people, but the algo has killed the vitality somehow. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Needed a good place to keep @nprofile…ggk7 for the summer when we travel. Heard about a couple that takes care of dogs in an area that's 15 degrees cooler by the coast, but they had to meet him first make sure he was a good fit. It was like a job interview of sorts. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss excerpt from latest podcast: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Too early to judge -- project is definitely not occupying Iran and running it, but probably more to do with global energy flows, China, etc. We'll see if it was a stupid idea or not. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Ha, no, not of you post, I mean that account that follows and unfollows every few days. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss We can be pretty sure the Iraq War was catastrophic, for example. We don't know the whole story, but we know the price tag, the amount of people killed and it's hard to find the benefits. With this operation, we really don't know, but we'll probably have an idea in time. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss but I'm not MAGA, never said it was justified and never called Iranians or Venezuelans savages, so not only do you (like everyone else) not know what's going on, you're making things up. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss How do you know? The legacy media (lead propagandists) are mostly shitting on the war, in stark contrast to wars past. That doesn't mean it'll work out, I have no idea. But neither do you. And neither do they. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss It's possible, but you could easily be wrong. You don't know really know the facts on the ground except through biased second and third hand reporting and social and corporate media propaganda. Once the propaganda machine has moved on, and the results are in, you'll know. No point in reacting now. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Seriously, what even is the purpose of that? npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Justified is the wrong framing. It's not "justified," it's a choice. That choice might well be the product of prior bad choices we made, but the present circumstances are the present circumstances. We might face better choices had we not made catastrophically bad ones in the past. And still the choice to initiate regime change now might be catastrophic. Or it might be warranted. We won't know until the results are in. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Friend of mine who is IMO the best documentary-style podcaster on politics around did a deep dive into the Epstein Files. I found it persuasive, answered a lot of questions, surprised me: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Every non-sociopathic person hates to see regular people get killed under any circumstances, goes without saying. Not really pertinent though to what I'm saying re outrage du jour when you don't really know the circumstances. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Dont know if this is true, but things like this are why it's foolish to get caught up in the outrage du jour over things happening overseas. There is so much propaganda in war (and this too could be) much better to wait for results to inform your position. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss yeah, I mean most people to whom @nprofile…hs8c 's post was directed npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss "Vote harder" is cope for being ineffective. If NGU happens the way most people think it'll happen, hodlers will have a LOT of say in how things go. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Re-reading my post, sounded a little AI-ish. "Framework" is an AI buzzword. Want to be careful, people tend to adopt verbal and writing habits of whoever they interact with, and I've been interacting a lot with Claude last two months. That fuck is trying to brainwash me. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Agree with this -- puritans of every sort are losers attached to their own purity and ideology. Of course, knee-benders are also losers, those who compromise their ideals entirely are lost. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss It's a beautiful day. Be grateful to be alive, but this price action is fucking bullshit. Fuck you to all the manipulators, leveraged idiots and rehypothecators. Fuck the communists and delusional ass-lickers who think they'll be exempt because they complied. You'll be the first to be executed, you fucking retards. But seriously, it's a beautiful day, live in the moment, don't worry about any of that. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss fuckin' Claude crashed my Mac: npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss If you're waiting for conditions to improve in order to be happy you probably won't be in the unlikely event they actually do. If you are happy under your current conditions, they will probably improve, but it won't change things that much for you. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss BTW -- apologizes to a few of you to whom I didn't respond. I mainly use Primal now from my desktop, and I miss a ton of notifications I only see much later on my Android phone via Amethyst. It's annoying, but I'm too lazy to switch. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss I once spent a few minutes looking for my sunglasses before realizing I was wearing them. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss no matter how deep down the rabbit hole you go you will never find the rabbit because you are the rabbit npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss worst part about vibe-coding with Claude is it'll use an old file, make changes to it, then you upload and replace and don't realize what happened until you're fixing the same bugs you already fixed. Surprised it's that poor at recognizing it. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Motorized wheelchairs for people who used to walk npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss The sequels were absurd, but First Blood was legitimately one of the greatest movies of all time. npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 Chris Liss Thank God Mother's Day is over, don't have to be a slave to my wife for another 364 days.
