se imaginan lo que pasaría si disolvemos las fuerzas armadas y nos quedamos sin ejército?

podría venir otro país y llevarse a nuestro presidente sin resistencia o peor aún, si ocurre un desastre natural no habría nadia que nos ayude

Urge introducir este proyecto de Ley que daría FIN a unas inservibles FUERZAS ARMADAS Venezolanas

@Rich_Cooper Its not so bad, at least she is admiting its her own fault and is not judging the guy for his preference which are both VERY VERY RARE... but yeah in the same fashion some of us have made bad decisions and are paying the consequences, "welcome to the real world Neo..."

@Rich_Cooper Bird hands mean danger, she is trying to make her nails appear larger by shifting the focus of the observer forward... this tactic is also famous among anglers to make their catch appear larger than it actually is

5 years ago at the height of coronahysteria everyone worried about their savings.

If you put $10,000 in "risk-free" long-term US government bonds, you'd have $6,000 today.

If you put the $10,000 in "risky speculative tulip" bitcoin, you'd have $106,000.

HFSP, bondcucks!

HOW SOCIAL TRUST IS ERODED - A VISIT TO INDIA 🇮🇳

🧵 A few years ago now I spent some time in India. One of the more lasting impressions I have from that period was the degree to which the low trust environment there (of a kind) wore me down mentally and transformed my attitude towards public spaces from a by disposition fairly ‘high trust’ person to being much more cynical and constantly on guard - ie being ‘low trust’. Over the space of the first month or so, because of the environment, experiencing real psychogenic anguish at the mental transition from being basically well meaning and otherwise liberal to irritable, combative and developing (experience-informed) prejudices.

My assumptions about how easily you can sustain ‘high levels of social trust’ were shredded. Many people take for granted that high levels of social trust can be upheld without excessive coercion on a sort of naive libertarian basis of most people naturally being ‘fairly decent’ and so behaving ‘fairly decently’. Though I’d encountered this ‘low trust’ behaviour in a many other countries it was in india, because of how common and obtrusive it was, that it became impossible to avoid internalising that a lot of people are not in fact ‘fairly decent’ and that if enough not ‘fairly decent’ people get together they can easily despoil social environments.

Let me give you some examples of the kinds of behaviours you would encounter in India and then explain how prolonged exposure to those behaviours changes you. Granted you are a ‘Mleccha’, a ‘Gora’, (Foreigner, White Man) so qualifier you are treated differently but you still encounter these attitudes appreciably more than you would in many other countries. They do not of course represent the attitude of every Indian (I am an amateur Indologist I love India don’t @ me) but it evidences a certain ‘dog eat dog’ ‘tragedy of the commons’ mindset on the part of a part of the population that results in very appreciable low society wide social trust, at least over certain behaviours. (Others may be more policed eg social roles.) (Incidentally I think this mentality is one of the principal causes for many of India’s systemic problems but that is a separate topic.)

• Take a tuk-tuk or taxi. Driver pretends his meter is broken, quotes price ten times more than actual price. Doesn’t have any change, doesn’t have a card machine. Starts arguing with you when you say you are not giving them more money they should have the change. Sometimes will plead for large tip even if you pay them more than the actual price too. To combat this you have to be prepared to argue with the driver every time you take a taxi (start ‘fights’) and bring small change with you everywhere

• Taking the Mumbai Metro with a woman (naively), metro is incredibly crowded. Man uses crowd as an excuse to press himself up against the woman, starts masturbating. Woman screams, starts to have panic attack - but crowd doesn’t really react. She runs out crying at next metro stop

• Walking around on streets - lots of beggars approach you, often old women, young children, people with some kind of disfigurement, hijra etc. Sometimes they aggressively grab your wrist, your clothes, tug at your shirt and refuse to let go. Often will follow you for a while even if you tell them to go away

@LynAldenContact Get a Tundra... or a 4runner if you prefer smaller SUV... avoid turbo engines in favour of naturally aspirated like the V6 1GR-FE (4runner) which is bulletproof engine made for 200k miles

@elinagar @braiins For clarity: the 839,839 "wallets" that own 1 or more bitcoin is not really Wallets... is UTXOs. Many may or may not be part of the same "wallet" or belong to the same person. This means getting to 1 bitcoin is gonna be EVEN MORE difficult.
