if you look into human history, are so many stupid crazy things done, that you wonder: daaamn we are the only one species that is doing anything possible to suicide.
I cannot call this species... intelligent.

daaamn we are the only one species that is doing anything possible to suicide.

How can we be sure about that?

You cannot be sure, and you also can't know whether that is the DDT you got from mom's boob messing with your brain, or because covid made you forget, or cognitive decline through your TV, internet or chatbot usage. lol

I remember buying a 1 hrivna (at the time something like $0.16) 1L bottle of blackberry vodka in Simferopol. It tasted like someone drank gasoline and then pissed it back into the bottle, worse than the average Samogon you'd drink on the streets of Yalta.

However. That too was perfectly fine booze. Best saved for desperate times though.

I make my own booze. Special reserve, only for special occasions.
Now is limited production, but once my cabin is ready in the mountains I will start a bigger production.
Only fruits with high level of sugar are used. And double distilled.

I will have a very peaceful life: working on my homestead, making booze and after sunset, just drinking and see how the sun goes down...

It’s hard to know if any animal does this consciously. For example, there are known cases of dogs that stop eating after their owner dies. How can we be sure they’re actually looking for death? I’ve seen dogs and cats get run over where it really seemed like they stepped in front of the car on purpose. Were they trying to kill themselves? We’ll never know.

We’ll never not know until all cats and dogs have neuralink.

@k00b made a point about Herd/flock mentality yesterday and this is a pattern that is very hard to unsee after you've detected it a couple of times (may even see it when it isn't there.)

I think that this is in the fabric of our society though, and I think that it's a vulnerability.

Stupid and crazy . . . like claiming to be a Bitcoin Maxi 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' but refusing to attach your wallets here on Stacker News because CC shitcoins are so reliable.

If we want the LN to grow in strength and reliability we must use it.

Every time I zap, post or comment I do it with Sats using a wallet and paying fees supporting the nodes and wallet development.

You don't.

You are a fucking hypocrit and cannot seem to see it.

Attach your LN wallets and stop being such a stupid lazy/crazy hypocrit.

reply

I will attach an external wallet AFTER you will zap all my notes on SN during 3 months with 100 sats each.
DEAL ?

@DarthCoins response to my pointing out he claims to be 'living on the Bitcoin Standard' but in reality refuses to use Bitcoin Here on Stacker News.

1- Abuse- called me CCP bot and many many other names.
Hilarious and pathetic.
2- Claims that to attach wallets is a waste of time and CCs are better than sats as they work all the time.
Yeah you can say the same of fiat- again pure bullshit sophistry from @Darthcoin.
3- Claims that attaching wallets would stress his nodes.
For fucks sake! If I can attach wallets then tech master @Darthcoin can, surely? If he cannot why not?
4- Tells me to STFU and stop raising the topic.
Out comes the fascist bully again.
5- As above tries to extort payment from me like some mafia cunt.
Yes sure, its all just joking huh Darth?

But really for some guy who claims to 'live on The Bitcoin Standard' and clearly has a massive knowledge of how the BTC/LN works and constantly claims to hate the state and fuck the bankers etc etc ...what the fuck is really going on here?

@Darthcoin is maybe a pathetic though highly knowledgable technocrat- but whatever he is he is not a serious Bitcoiner in the sense of actually wanting to live on and use Bitcoin and the LN.
He is absolutely refusing to use sats here- where this platform has been specifically and intentionally built to enable a sats based V4V P2P social network.
CCs were only implemented because of regulatory threats from the state!

The other possibility is that he is a spook for the state/bankers that he loudly decries.
State security agencies will routinely seek to observe and infiltrate any group professing anti state viewpoints- it is their job to do this...and they will use agents who will act out and pretend to be of such views themselves.
I have witnessed this occur before.
They are (were) the loudest boldest proclaimers of anti state views, but were in reality, covertly observing and reporting on the genuine group members to their state surveillance bosses. In one case the spook entered into a relationship with a woman who was part of the group that was being targeted...all the while he was reporting the the state intelligence and paid by them to do so.
These spooks play a long (and low) game and it is possible @DarthCoin is one of them.

Otherwise he is either just a lazy hypocrit while being of high technical ability.
He sure as fuck is not a genuine and serious Bitcoiner who wants LN to be used and grow stronger...because he refuses to use it and cannot demonstrate any use of it except perhaps in his constant exploration of the technical functionality of the network which is again something state surveillance would want to have a strong and intimate skope on.

Nobody here except his sock puppets really know who @Darthcoin is.
Everything we 'know' about him is what he has fabricated.
We do know that he says one thing loudly, but in reality does another.
