YES! Please! The last good move in that regard was Troy and that's ages ago!

Sounds like Hevan! Do you have your own orchard? Friends with 60 apple trees, so we celebrate three times a year at their place. Apple blossom festival, harvest time and in winter apple punch festival or glög feast.

Who would lose 45 BTC today? Or is that an old one?

My mom kept my rocking horse and we are polishing it in February so my unborn child can play with it! So yeah, my mom is just as cool as your family.
I cannot wait to pass it on to the next generation. No fiat bullshit but realy well crafted wooden rocking horse.
22 sats \ 0 replies \ @Shugard 22h \ on: The Intellectual Obesity Crisis culture
Our brains evolved to crave information like sugar, but in the digital age, this craving leads to "intellectual obesity," where we consume endless low-quality "junk information" that distracts and clogs our minds.
I love this analogy!

Climate change is harming the whales
After we killed like 90%, now the climate is a problem?
11 sats \ 1 reply \ @Shugard 23 Dec \ on: USA Christmas Spending in 2024: Data & Analysis charts_and_numbers
I want to see the median amount spent! Since no one in my family ever spends a total of 500, and most of my friends are in the same ballpark, I want to see the median numbers. If some crazy rich guy buys his wife a new car for Christmas that costs $35,000, the average is going to go crazy.

It's funny that there is no drop in alone when you get kids.

It's settled: Christmas gift giving is one big, inefficient loss-maker.
Yes, cash is better than most alternatives. But just because most alternatives suck does not mean cash is good!
Its a fiat world, if you want a real value for value world you have to work for it! You have to work for your social connections! Cash is too cheap to achieve that!
I dont remember your sat gifts. I remember most of the other gifts you gave me! They build a connection.
I would definitely take sats for Christmas! But visiting your family over the holidays just to come back with a big bag of sats is definitely not as fulfilling as having sats AND some nice, thoughtful gifts!
It shows that they cared about you and your interests! Last year my girlfriend got me a gift I hadnt thought of at all! She gave me this magnetic stirrer #820679!
It was so cool that I still use it and remember it! Also I gifted her a flight to travel together to her beloved Edinburgh! for her much better than some cash.

Meaningful gifts have to come from your observations about the person you're buying for.
YES SIR! Here we go!

This is what I meant when I tried to explain that you cannot divide the social sciences into different categories like philosophy, politics, and economics. They all belong together. Looking at one without the other makes no sense. In this case, just looking through the economic lens is meaningless and will lead you to the wrong conclusion.

This does not contradict my argument. Of course you can give material things, I do, and I love receiving them! I mean, its important to make sure and make an effort that the receiving person appreciates it.
@denlillaapan has given me beautiful glasses and fine whiskey in the past! I loved those gifts because there was thought behind them! He knows that I love to make cocktails and he knows that we love to spend time together on the couch discussing philosophy, politics and economics over a good glass of whisky.

I don't know about better, but definitely easier.

They keep sharing stuff on social media like X, Instagram, and Facebook, all of which I’ve already ditched.

His Japanese preschool, by putting the spotlight on fun (and nothing else) has achieved something remarkable.
Can you elaborate on that?
I hope your son gets well soon and all the strangeness for you as a father to be the evil guy pushing down the medicine!
