Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Arguing with a buddy today that keeps saying he missed the boat on Bitcoin. He read digital gold many years back, knee some home miners in 2013, but can’t see we are still SO early. I’ll keep working him.

EDIT: apparently i didn't get the joke
Re: SNL. Wait wat!?! Did you guys really promote tipping based on race there? Dayummm....
I'm human race. All my friends are human race. But I'd tip a cat, a shark or a Martian if they'd do something I appreciate. Did it the other day when this cat was nice to the better half, with treats.
Gratuity is universal; it has nothing to do with what anyone's ancestors did centuries ago. I'm all for making up for errors of the past, but are you really judging whether people deserve to be thanked based on the color of their skins?

We were kidding!
@bitcoinplebdev and @plebpoet are experts at dry and sarcastic humor, and it's usually infectious to the point where no one believes, or expects anyone to believe, anything said a few sentences later.

My bad probably. I recall escalating the joke without giving much signal that it was a joke.

All good just know that I'm (normally) not really sensitive to these things and write it off to bad moments, but this was like a "wait what's happening" trigger to me. So either more sensitive people will experience it like that, or I'm a moron.
Let's hope for the latter lol

first cover with this phone? how you compare SN cover with others you might have had before?
reply
This is the third. It’s Meh. I like the design but I am in constant fear the phone is going to slip out of my hands

slip out of my hands? I can understand if it slep out of pockets, but how can it slip out of you hand? You mean that is not tight enough with the phone?
I'm really happy with it, that's why I ask so many questions! I'd like to see if the cover fit the phone as it should, if not we are happy to send over a replacement.

I ended up with 3 GA passes to the bitcoin conference. I wonder if they'll let me trade them in for an industry pass.

In my humble opinion, Bitcoin is the best remedy that humanity has invented (through our friend Satoshi) to beat inflation.

about 2 years ago i started making the distinction between hunger, craving, habit, and social conditioning around the "go-to-lunch" ritual; what really ticked me off one day is the new smartie-pants boss who told me "to make sure to go get lunch..." probably thinking himself to be a benevolent boss

Haha social pressure to eat is all around us. Same with sex porn. Sugar as well.

Happiness Journal 23/5/25
Today, I realised one thing. My time in the Japan Exchange Teaching program has gotten me used to the idea of delivering farewell speeches. I just went up today, completely comfortable with the spotlight shining on me, and did my thing.
I would have expected the process to be cathartic, but it turned out to be more turbulent than I had expected. This is when reality finally hit me. I won’t be seeing my form class students anymore after the June holidays!
Given that these rascals provoke me to shout at them for various violations ever so often, I’m surprised at my well of emotions.
一切即将尘埃落定, 却莫名其妙地伤感。
reply
Congratulations!! Saying goodbye to long time students is very difficult. It is much easier if you have students flowing through every quarter or semester because there is much less attachment.
reply
It's very comforting for me to learn that you sometimes shout at your students, because you seem so chill here on Stacker.News. Sometimes I think there's something defective about me because I get so angry at my students and let them affect me emotionally, but it's good to be reminded that this is a nearly universal experience for teachers.
reply
Of course!
打是疼 骂是爱
Though this adage is outdated. Physical harm inflicted on students will get a teacher fired sooner than it takes for a bamboo tree to blossom.
Do you have a decompression routine so that you don’t bring this anger back home? Our emotions have an insidious way of creeping up on us.
I can say that after becoming a father, I rarely let my students’ outrageous behaviour affect me emotionally because I am preoccupied in the trenches of parenting haha

Well partner, today I tried to pay for my coffee with sats… the barista just stared at me like I was trying to pay with magic beans. Guess the world ain't ready yet, huh?

I love money. I love everything about it. I bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks. Got a fur sink. An electric dog polisher. A gasoline powered turtleneck sweater. And, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too.

I am building back my sats after loosing everything twice. Trying all my best to reach 1BTC in the shortest time. I am doing sats games, SN and many others. The struggle is real.
reply

reply
not an option. I am much more to work harder/smarter. I am aiming high always.
reply
okay, keep suffering then; lowering the needs & wants is much simpler imho, and u get to keep more sats
