don't think I'd ever had SnS before they started offering.
one time I went just because bitcoin, the other time I went just because hungry. both times, a bit of a drive... the second time was motivated by quality.
I'll add... I'm a huge fan of the tallow fries.
as @DarthCoin mentioned tho... not a huge fan of carelessly spending sats where I don't need to. while that's true, I also like to support business I know/appreciate when they're onboard with accepting sats
I'm here for improving patterns. Lazy rationale is an antipattern, imo
accepting the output of a robot without questioning is an example of Lazy Rationale.
thanks for your comments
I doubt you play chess, so a closing remark like "your move" is insulting.
if you have years of wounding, how will you remove that? I recommend getting in touch with the memories which raise your defenses, and just feeling them.
my action, subsequent to reading the post, was to ping some trauma-informed psychotherapists in my close social network, to ask about what they notice in the assertion: the compassionate tegulator is evil.
I'm not sure the compassionate regulator is a real thing, but I don't know, by virtue of my circumstance. I'm not in close touch with professional therapeutic practice. neither am I familiar with how their work is done.
I noticed the post sounds to have come from a robot, and I know enough to know they (like natural human brains) tend to hallucinate, but (unlike natural human brains) also tend to do so with what seems like an authoritative tone.
so, "my move" is to name the slop, challenge the assertion, and learn from the outcome.
good luck
downpayment
I converted the BTC to USD via the exchange where I bought it. its a cheap house, and only 10% down... so only $7250 worth of BTC was sold, as the rest was in cash already on hand.
I DCA'd out of BTC into cash over a couple weeks. because that's how I got into it and I just don't want to fret about the price... once I knew the plan and the amount necessary, I just did the thing. somebody recently said "you can't live in a bitcoin" and that sorta stuck.
because of details I won't share, I didn't need to explain the source of those funds to the lender.
the lender was a traditional loan originator, I may work with this lender in a different capacity if my work and savings plan ends up setting me up in the way I want.. for now, I'm not interested in an 'investment' property, but there is a nearby house which could be a good, short term home if this one ends up catching a remodel, or if friends come to stay for extended period.
startup
yes, very interested to share about this, but gonna do it with some coordination
portion of a downpayment on a house.
and I invested in a friends startup... more notes on that forthcoming
In the past the bank unilaterally closed the account because of suspicious activity they felt could be linked to possible identity theft.
somewhat odd to have a bank close your account and then stay with that bank
I haven't read the full post yet, but I will say, before I do so, that this reminds me of the conversation I just had with my realtor about how property is never truly owned because we lease it from the government.
you're correct about his "why"
he's also younger than I would like
he does a god job of presenting his case on Rogan and I only knew of him because a door knocker came to give me his flier.... the door knocker didn't know anything about his monetary policy, and I told her I would do my own research
is it called "Little Brother" because it tattles on you about every little thing you do?
