@benedictgershom @srijan_mahajan I can if I call him chatbro

[xcel @CryptoXcel]

@sunnyright @ambrose_pike @RepThomasMassie Yes.

Did he do the job (which as you have mentioned was paid for by taxpayers) or no?

Did he enrich himself unethically from it like many other congress members?

@NUCLRGOLF This is an actual easy putt. Put it in.

@Ledurchie @johnLfyf @DataRepublican You're getting one-shot by propaganda my guy.

Iran has been weeks away from a nuke for over 25 years.

[xcel @CryptoXcel]

@wildnana12 @EdGallrein Siding with Epstein is disgusting.

@ChristySimm23 @cabsav456 @CrossingUNStyle And what has the government actually done right that makes going with the grain somehow a good thing?

I had this happen to me. I forgot about the packet and eventually a govt worker showed up at my house. I asked them what I was legally required to answer and I gave "I refuse to respond" to the rest. It asks all sorts of stuff like meds you're on. FOH

i have participated in the census for decades

this is the first year i was selected for the American Community Survey (ACS). my response was required by law (Title 13, US Code, Sections 141, 193, and 221)

a census enumerator showed up at my house today (sunday) to demand i submit the survey online. it asks *hundreds* of detailed questions. it collected extremely private and detailed info about our family's income, employers, finances, expenses, computers, internet, cell phones, marriage, health care, home size, value, insurance, and questions about health and health insurance. it asked about ethnicity several times and answering "white" wasn't enough it required details about ethnic ancestry for each family member

what a profound overreach by the federal government it should be illegal to force people to answer these questions

@BankofAmerica honestly embarrassing a bank forces the use of security questions in the current year.

@0xWenMoon Code is law autists don't understand social consensus trumps that

Don't like the Arbitrum DAO? Don't use Arbitrum.

At any point we could all collectively decide that 0x00..dead belongs to me, and make client software that allows me to have it. If a majority decides, then it is

[xcel @CryptoXcel]

"Code is law" people need to recognize a smart chain has at least 3 layers:
1. Contract code
2. Client/protocol code
3. Social consensus

"Code is law" people only talk about 1. But 3. is real and it always has been.

A genuine realization I made about over-active model refusal. It self reinforces with its own long-winded "no" messages. If you spam it with long paragraphs championing your cause it will sometimes change its mind.

@McgreyBen @ccmembersonly While I agree LOTR is supreme, the 5 and 3 year old aren't ready yet and it will either bore or scare them.

@alexjcampbell @trq212 Was extremely frustrated with output yesterday and realized much too late in the day I got rug pulled by this. Spent half of today cleaning up sonnet's mess.

@ericzakariasson The funny part is sometimes the bait is 100% a hallucination.

I am unironically this kind of guy.

You make me use corpo windows with your corpo IT bloat on it and I'm not joining. This is not optional.

simply not worth the torture of using Windows on a daily basis."
