My teenage son has managed to save 1M sats. He said to me that he doesn't think that's enough. I told him he's right. But it's a good start for a kid who doesn't have his drivers license. I didn't say that part to him, though. Kids are given everything. Chairs? The chair he sits on is mine. I'd sell it if he wasn't sitting on it. Food? Mine. Bed? Mine. Grades? Nah homie... We pay for extra tutoring. So when he works (which he does) he better be saving that money in the hardest asset because everything else he's bloody given.
Why did I just see a video of Millenials "not being able to party like they used to?" Oh, shit, they're between 30-45 years old now! Damn they old. Oh, wait... What's that make me? Oh, yeah... Kids grown and no longer giving a fuck. *Cracks another beer*
Just spent a New Years Day party with other GenXers in Canada... And realized I am most certainly not "a part of their culture". My job is international. It has been for nearly 25 years. I've lived on two continents, in four cities, and away from ma8n stream culture being that my job takes me between two countries all week every week. My culture is global. My culture is outside the fishbowl. It was such witnessing 9/11 from the other side of the world. It is again not getting a "Canadian" tax payer funded media endlessly feeding me "elbows up" media nor Fox News Trump fanboyism. My culture is global. My culture is classical. It bases itself in philosophy and multiple interpretations. And here, on Nostr, it trusts very little. But, man, to be thrown into a cauldron of fish stuck in a fishbowl... My tongue is sore from all the biting.
I'm bullish on more tourists becoming self custodial Maniacs and ditching the system as a whole. May Blackrock please end the year with less corn than they had (a stretch, I know). View quoted note β†’
My 2026 resolution is to truly embody DILLIGAF. To so completely commit to the opt out. To generate income from direct, out of system, payment... "They" would call it fraud but I would call it freedom, is my aim. And since I have roots that run deep dicking off to some jungle, or beach, or ignorance ain't gonna be the reality. It's gonna have to be silent, stealthy, civil disobedience with a smile. Happy New Year, Y'all!
I've been exploring all the various grifting grants the Canadian Federal govt offers... I don't know why I haven't done this before. I mean, "War Dogs" (based on a true story) teaches a whole lot.
Has Pierre Poilievre been listening to @NICO⚑️? Takes the first question and flips it to "we should be asking 'what is government?'"... Man, did Canada shit the bed not having this guy in as PM.
