Bitcoin is the hardest money ever created, rooted in energy, physics, and freedom. Each cycle tests its resilience, and every storm it weathers strengthens its foundation. As trust in legacy systems fades, Bitcoin’s decentralized, finite design shines brighter. The future is scarce, and Bitcoin leads the way.
California ranks near the top in absolute terms across these metrics due to its size, though rates vary:
Fraud: Highest historical unemployment fraud (~$20-32B+ during COVID); estimates of $180-280B total waste/abuse in recent reports.
Corruption: 2nd in federal public corruption convictions (2004-2023); lower per-capita rate (bottom third).
Affordability: 3rd-highest cost of living (index ~140); last in purchasing power ($100 buys ~$90).
Homelessness: 1st in total (~182k in 2025, ~24% of US); ~5th in rate (~46 per 10k).
Debt: 1st in total state+local (~$1T+); high per capita (often top 10).
@PatriotPaulK@TheBTCTherapist Enthusiastically filling bags. I love discounts from irrational markets, Chinese honeypots, and retards that are having fun staying poor. My 100x is laughing.
He‘s making some good points but I’m skeptical of people inferring that these technologies should be regulated , suppressed, or controlled by a centralized state authority rather than these being part of a competitive open market. There are dangers to both, but I prefer dangerous freedom.
@schlaf He’s running a company that is key to one of the most important technologies in our lifetime, and brilliantly so. He’s not the head of a church or running for president. The Chinese honeypot is a serious mistake but I don’t expect that to repeat.
I totally understand your position, but I don’t really think I was “in love” at all at the time. And probably didn’t even respect myself either.
Seems like a lifetime ago, and now being truly in love it doesn’t even cross my mind. I mean wouldn’t even place myself in a situation for the opportunity to arise. And the handful of times it came unexpectedly I shut down the moment I realized.
I cheated and was cheated on when I was young, selfish, kind of a dick. Unfortunately at the time being a bit of a dick was a successful dating strategy.
Having been married for nearly 20 years now I couldn’t even fathom it. Of course I don’t have the constant access and temptation from being ultra wealthy or famous. I’d like to think I pass that test as well.
Are you people like truly retarded or just pretend to be idiots when you run out of justifiable causes for murder? Miscarriages are natural deaths, eggs and sperm are not humans, and @grok, what is the word for the earliest stage of human development wherein it is a separate human organism with unique DNA, one word only please.
Did you even watch the interaction before you posted this? And I strongly disagree this point is “key”. Equating committing espionage for passing classified U.S. military/atomic secrets during the Cold War to potentially throttling internet speed for a few days is objectively ridiculous. That being said, Galloway knew exactly what he was inferring. He even included a disclaimer in his statement!:
"And my question is, or my thesis is, we took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors. And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I'll make it, and I believe it. I think Elon Musk is a traitor to the West."
And then, doubled down in a separate discussion:
"We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West."
There’s the fuckin’ key.
This feel like classic anxious attachment. She's not necessarily seeking more communication, rather she’s seeking relief from uncertainty. It’s a vicious cycle She becomes emotionally invested>Anxiety about losing him increases>She intensifies communication and seeks reassurance>He feels pressured and begins withdrawing>His withdrawal confirms her fears>Her anxiety escalates, restarting the cycle.
Be careful with the girls night out thing. Several of your closest friends have gathered specifically to discuss what's psychologically wrong with you? That might feel like an ambush. Maybe at least a private conversation first?
