Your posts have really gone down the shitter. I mean come on, we all go off once in a while but you have gone full retard for months now. Everybody handles incertainity in a different way. There is some serious projection going on. One might think Slambie is blaming the extended bear/sideways trend of BTC on Covid19 and its bad influence on the economy. I am currently struggling with real life a bit. Wifey's car broke down, about $2k to spend, the house's geothermal heating became defective. No hot water and still to wait 1 day for the tech to show up, expected $1k repair, but insurance will pay it back to me. Problems, problems, problems... --------- haiku for winners: whatever life throws at you try to enjoy it --------- |

Not quite, i fear. Beer is free of lactose afaik, but the vanilla icecream most often contains a lot of lactose (since it doesn't crystallize when frozen).
To be clear, it was likely the lactose-containing vanilla ice cream, mixed up with the beer, fermented into the stygian horror that escaped my anus the other day. I'm still recovering TBH... It takes me about a day to get it out of the system and another one to get rid of fatigue and muscle/tendon pain. I'm also a lot more emotional and brainfogged within that timeframe.  White Widow feminized. Just staked down that side stem an hour ago. (3rd staking for that one) I find it works way better than pinching the top off. Added bonus, no loss of main stem node. Nice one. Just wanted to ask you about how exactly you stake down the plants. I will happily pick up that idea  (if the legal status of growing weed is going to be eased up again in my country). WW is one of my favourite strains, it was the first one i bought and smoked on my first trip to amsterdam. Back then i was pretty knocked out by this one, after not having eaten food for a night and a day  EDIT: It was a bulldog coffeeshop near the central train station, some few minutes around the corner of madame tussaud's. The owner stepped up and tried to speak in three languages i understood, but this time it was all sounding like russian to me. I asked my friend to translate, but i didn't understand him either, though he tried to tell me a couple of times  The boss then served me a big glass of coke, which brought me up to a level where i could walk again. I'm becoming sentimental... My dear old late Dad, after being admonished by Mom at the dinner table for lifting a cheek, would invariably answer....
"Where e'er ye be , let thy wind go free...."
I'm ok with letting winds go, to some degree. But these were more like blasts of thunder, not even smelly but loud, long and rumbling. |

i have a long standing thought that most humans are inherently good.
I think as you grow older that view changes to the downside. Probably why there are so many grumpy old guys! Not including Jimbo of course :-) In fact, it's about brain metabolism. It slows down with age, so people get depressive progressively (Meds use the term that is best translated as "age depression"). Jimbo is on weed, so this might play a key role, since it's anti-depressive as well. I can also report that i became far less grumpy than my long time friends of similar age, especially compared to those who don't take weed. I'm not even near Jimbo's age, but in my mid 40's, but i know quite some potheads in the age of 50-65 who support my observations. Ah yeah, and a young wife. Mine is about a decade younger than me  |

I'm fructose intolerant (malabsorbtion with systemic symptoms) Have a nice day, y'all, seems like it's buying time this week again What about Xylitol? Does not raise blood sugar or insulin levels, no fructose and doesn't contribute to dental decay. I can rinse my mouth with xylitol, about 4 grams, which makes a real difference, like polished feeling teeth. I don't swallow it, because it will give me stomach aches and also unpleasant shits and much of gas. Nobody knows why (yet) but some fructose intolerant people don't do well with sugar alcohols (about every sweetener ending with "-ol"). I'm unlucky here. Many sugars and even sweeteners are broken down to a certain extent of fructose. Lactose is the big exception here. I also only can take small amounts of glucose to tolerate well. I also had a bad time with Ribose, which is needed to synthesize ATP, the source of energy in muscle cells and for nerve regeneration (mostly with building up gas). The source of the problem (or lower level symptom?) is that i have no (!) lactobacillae in my guts, according to lab tests. Nobody knows why, but as long as i drink raw milk (cooked up to 70° celsius max.), symptoms are minor and i can tolerate most of vegetables and i recover a lot faster from the "bad food". EDIT: Doctors suggest that i damaged my "ileocecal valve", which prevents bacteria from the colon to go up to the small intestines, by supressing farts too hard. Lactobacteria somehow got replaced by other bacteriae, and this makes lactos hard to stay and replicate in the digestive system. On the positive, i don't get no caries, no matter how hard i try. In past times when i was not aware of the fructose intolerance and worked in offices with up to eight people, lots of meetings, i was full of gas and didn't let out, up to a point where i felt like stabbed in my belly when standing up from a chair. This was likely to be the reason for the damaged ileocecal valve. EDIT2: Out for the rest of the day. The wife is on a four-day workshop and i'm home alone with the four kids. The next adventure...  |

So yeah, lesson learned, if you have a lactose intolerance, and drink a lot of beer in a short period, you are likely to have a very bad time. Not quite, i fear. Beer is free of lactose afaik, but the vanilla icecream most often contains a lot of lactose (since it doesn't crystallize when frozen). So, how was Wednesday for you folk ?
I'm fructose intolerant (malabsorbtion with systemic symptoms), had some nice bubba kush in my vaporizer yesterday... Short version: Gone over a six pack of lion white and half a bag (250g) of wine gums. Sucrose is half fructose, by the way, and sorbitol in the wine gums is like a malabsorbtion turbo boost. Right before the fourth shit of the day, i might go some 2-3 more times, still. Finished extending the main house by another 40 square meters (roughly), got the window openings sealed at night, right before the rain kicked in. ShitObserver FTW Have a nice day, y'all, seems like it's buying time this week again |

I'm also in IT but a mere technician. Pretty boring. I could get a better degree through night classes, or continue to hone my skills and certifications (started the Cisco routing & switching course) but I'm not sure I really want to do either.
Network administration is just a lot less creative kind of IT work. I liked it until i mastered it, as long it was interesting food for my hungry mind... |

Calling yourself a wage slave for too long means you really need to change something in your life. Not all people can achieve getting enjoyment from work. Some are incapable, others lazy, others just unlucky, although I don't really believe luck can fully define someone. One can make his/her own luck in life, or he/she falls into the "incapable" category. But at least you've got to try. If you fail, try again, and if you fail again, maybe you're not able to do it, or you need to re-evaluate your goals, and Bitcoin can help in such cases, but not everyone is in this situation. Not everyone is a wage slave.
True. But the actual work of one's career can also change drastically over time, to become much less meaningful. For example, when I first got into IT programming in the mid 90's, the work was actually very meaningful and fun. We were building business software applications from complete scratch, and there was a sense of passion, creativity and analysis in what I was doing day to day. Programmers could use their brains to bang out code to build custom use cases and custom UIs, were respected and revered, and got paid accordingly for their creative analysis and technical knowledge. By the time I got out of that career in the 2010's, IT programmers were reduced to simply integrating off-the-shelf, expensive closed-source software into existing business environments. They essentially became glorified software "babysitters", having to spend their days trying to integrate and debug software that was poorly-written by someone else, often with poor performance, poor configuration, archaic APIs, missing or incomplete documentation, lack of expertise, etc. And these software integrations were often initiated under ridiculous time schedules and low/inadequate budgets, with use-case and performance expectations that could not be met in the time allotted. Or ever. It became soul-crushing work, and I started having bouts of anxiety and depression that I never had in the beginning of my IT career. What the IT career became in the end, was not something I had signed up for in the beginning. So I got out. No wonder you tend to be so jaded... Yeah I'll admit I'm pretty jaded against the IT profession. In addition to the work quality going into the toilet, you know what else has sucked? Here's a hint: Average salary for IT Senior Architect (10 yrs+ experience) in the U.S. in 2007: ~$120K/year. Average salary for IT Senior Architect (10 yrs+ experience) in the U.S. in 2020: ~$110K/year. Yep you read that right. The average salary not only hasn't increased in 13 years to keep up with inflation, it has actually gone backwards, while asset price inflation has skyrocketed in the same amount of time. People are getting absolutely screwed by the existing financial system, and they don't even realize it. Reads like my past career a bit. Sometimes i ask myself if my memory problems are some kind of protection from my inner "me" to not be able to work in the IT business again. Hypnosis recently turned out to help of some sort, though. good night WO |

Hey, don't forget me, sweetheart. #realCOVidiot #COVshill You are not intellectual enough to understand the situation, it made what you are today: a pessimist is not a well informed optimist and the biggest disrespected person in the WO. Instead of shitting in people's mounth stop drinking booz and educate yourself. Back on my ignore list, i already expected you fruitless respons. overwhelmed like in Brazil with 5,000 infected & 200 deaths until, Members of Parliament break into hospital and CAUGHT THEM RED HANDED NOT ONE PERSON hospital frauded the world!! Careful potentially sensitive content to view. https://twitter.com/aoecoin/status/1272712575537438720?s=21Did have a real life quarlel today, parted both of the opinion to have won, only to meet up shortly thereafter: You post makes no sence to me, half fabricated bullshit. Before i move you on my ignore list i say one thing: you can't even read a simpel chart, Brazil already hiking on 1m cases and over 40k deaths. Trying to get to a sane, objective discussion between covid optimists and covid pessimists is like trying to grab an 8-ball using chopsticks. I also tried a while, until it became boring. It's not easy to understand and people generally tend to simplify. |

I just don’t hope it’s a financial one that requires good judgement and decisions
Nope, I learned to not get emotional or obsessive with my financial decisions. My finances will do well automatically without me interfering. It is something else man it feels so good you all need to try some of that stuff but no I'll keep it to myself. collodial silver? how much did Tash charge you per milliliter ? *scnr* @Tash: I was on the same path until about a decade ago, tried a lot of fancy "magic" stuff, tried to convince other people of how silly they are not to go "alternative" and throw their money at scammers that are actual doctors. Let me tell you this: It didn't work. The only people i knew that claimed that it works either had no real health problems or took money for their alternative product or service. Some of the first group had health problems afterwards. Most risks are well documented. This is a wakeup call from Morpheus. It's up to you if you take the red or the blue pill. |

You are probably either misremembering, or maybe you had not noticed, but surely mindrust had several episodes of emotionalness, being overly pessimistic, predicting doom and gloom and behaviors like that, but surely selling his whole BTC stash did seem to be a bit too extreme in terms of being a bit further out of character than those previous bouts of negative nancy...
I'll rely on your memories, because mine are more likely wrong You know the story. Sure. You are clear enough, yet even though I consider mindrust's actions to have been severe, I conclude that the transformation was not likely as great as you had made it out to be. That's just my take on it, currently.
Yeah, seems so, based on reasons mentioned above  So, sorry for that one, mindrust. Short reply, bc. of headache, a nap may help. That said... I will backread the rest tomorrow. |

Meta: It's troubling to me in a way. I've read reports that it is disproportionately affecting black and brown folk more severely than other races. Evidently there is some genetic component involved, leading to a harsher response to the virus. Sheeit.
Majority of sicknesses including Covid is nothing else as wrong nutrition. Daily intake of about 70% alkaline and 30% acidic food and anyone is as strong as can be. Flu, Covid, Common Cold.... not a worry. Like a 2 component glue if mix according to instruction its hold well, if mixed wrong and 90% hardener is used or something crazy it will break at first sign of stress. Acidic food: Seafood, Meat, Cheese, Grains (Wheat, Rye, Rice..), pasteurized food, Milk, Pale Beer, Carbonated drinks (sparkling mineral water, Coke...) Alkaline food: Fruit, Vegetables, Herbs/Spices, natural fermented food, Honey, Some Nuts (Chest, Pine, Coco, Hazel, Macadamia), Wine, Draft Beer, Stout Beer, Coffee, Tea... What else is Acidic, Face Mask as exhaled CO2 (acidic) is partly re-inhaled because mask prevent it from being proper exchanged for fresh oxygen. Healthy blood pH is 7.35 - 7.45 slight alkali, 7 is neutral, 0 max acid, 14 max basic (alkali), log scale I knew you will post something like this. Honey, Wine, Coffee and Beer with residue amounts of sugar are acidic, afaik. Nutrition plays a role for a healthy body, but i think it's too general and exaggerated to fire statements like Covid is nothing else as wrong nutrition . It's about well known nowadays that health (and spirit) is mostly determined by gut bacteria. Sure, nutrition is influencing gut bacteria, but there are limits. No need to go into more detail. |

Most likely blacks have less vitamin D due to darker skin. Take your supplements. This makes little sense, somehow. Afair i read about higher vitamin-D levels in dark colored people, because dark skin better absorbs sunlight. If blacks are really more endangered, it's more likely a genetic cause to be within scope. I need to take supplements because of sick intestines, to support brain functionality and overall physical performance. I know quite a lot about supps and which ones to combine under which circumstances, but i found the effects and promises of supps generally to be overrated, if not hyped in the concerns of vitamin-D3. Research is pointing to it as an immune biomarker, instead of a cause or remedy for sickness. Sure, there are correlations with longevity, but not causalisations, at least not proven. The human body and it's reactions are far too complex to make "wonder-supps" plausible. |

- A resurgence in new infections has been detected in Florida, Texas and California. 170,000 new cases in the U.S within one week.
IIRC, Dallas county has had 300+ infections per day, for almost three to four days in a row now. It's up, but slowly stabilizing at a higher value. Was a couple-few days last week where I think they broke records for consecutive days. Meta: It's troubling to me in a way. I've read reports that it is disproportionately affecting black and brown folk more severely than other races. Evidently there is some genetic component involved, leading to a harsher response to the virus. Sheeit. I've read so much shit about covid and sars2cov from the first days of the pandemic and it turned out that almost only the things that virologists and epidemiologists said were plausible and/or became true. The exception rate is very low, and if you protect yourself inside rooms you have to share with many other people, you should be very safe. The risk getting infected outdoors is virtually non existant when keeping a distance, because constant air movement in open spaces quickly lets the droplets and aerosols, which sars2cov attaches to, quickly dry off, killing the thing. It's really like the flu, but more contagious because the virus is airborne for much longer times than influenza, thus inhaled more likely. Wash hands to not smear it onto moucosa and you're fine. And, also important: Preferably use your own toilet What's the MM? Market Makers? |

That's a different question, but i stopped trusting that anybody here who is claiming to never-go-mindrust would not go mindrust at some point. It's about credibility and the message it sends out to the world. "See: Even the most hardest bitcoin believers abandon ship at some point"-type of narrative. This has consequences. You change a single parameter in a complex system, you watch many other parameters change as well afterwards.
This is a hefty warping of WO reality. Don't try to play it down.
Something seems slightly wrong with your thinking on this topic, Oom - or maybe it is just your presentation. Maybe both a little. Re-reading my presentation, it seems to me it was a little dramatic for sure. Reconsideration is a good thing, most times. My opinion is that the more that any of us prepares for a variety of scenarios (including extreme scenarios), the less likely that any of us is going to perform some act that seems to be outrageously inconsistent with our past discussions regarding our preparations, plans or BIG goals, which a certain amount of consistency seems to reflect our character, so in that regard, many of us continue to be a bit shocked and taken aback by mindrust because he spent so much time discussing his various strategies and even a certain amount of the extremes, including his mindset to a considerable degree.. that he was just seeming willing to just throw out the window all of a sudden...
Sure, he has the right to do that.. and sure it is going to piss a lot of people off because it was seemingly quite a bit removed from what he had been disclosing his plans, scenarios and even extremes of such.
My opinion is, that if you have a plan, developed and adjusted over the course of years, and just throw it overboard in times of doubt, what the heck was it all about? It smells fishy, or at least seems unauthentic to me. I would ask for advice if i'm even thinking about dropping out, at least for some kind of feedback, if i was a noob and thus insecure. But mindrust didn't ever show insecurities since i read the WO, imho. There were no signs of weakness, afair. Even in earlier times of dipping. This all doesn't represent honesty. I don't even speculate about (secret or hidden) reasons that haven't become obvious, known or told (yet). WO hodler legendaries and hero members are seen as trustworthy, in general, according to my reading and chatting experience. Another bothersome aspect of mindrust might have to do with his seemingly conversion into a kind of nocoiner perspective.. which is really irritating and really not justified, even given that he did seem to paint himself in a corner to some extent.
And that adds to my reasoning for suspicion. Just a lil fishy, you know? Later he also wrote he was in doubt from the start. Some even were speculating if mindrust sold his account, may it have been pure irony or not, but his u-turn was a good reason for such speculations, i think. I just realize my post reads like a private message a little, but even if i should be wrong, i have got no reasons to hide my thoughts. Everybody can try to prove me wrong or point out errors that i made, convince me... I'll try to be open #nohomo. I am losing track a little through my writings, but hopefully make my points clear enough, most time |

I didn't change, I have been always skeptical about almost everything.
I thought bitcoin was the answer to the central banking scam, I was wrong because there is a similar scam happening here with tether.
That's not bitcoin's own fault. It is an external attack.
*I might get back in when tether collapses completely. Till then, Nope.*
Sad. That's like telling my kids: "i will always love you". And when they don't become what i thought they should and i tell them: "i don't love you right now, until you become what i was hoping for". I sense a hint of bitterness. Don't be bitter, be better! |

Oh mindrust, once a loved, respected WO brother, now another doubter, another bitter NOCOINER (near enough effectively a NOCOINER).
You’re getting like r0ach, proudhon, jonoiv etc, the list goes on.
We’re all on a long, tough journey that many of us believe will end in great riches. Most of us here have already made (unsold) profits we never dreamed possible when we bought our first coin. I really liked you mindrust, you were one of us, one of the few, one of the future new wealthy elite. It’s such a shame that in a brief moment of panic you proved yourself to have the testicular fortitude of a 16 year old cheerleader.
It could have ended up so good for you in a couple of years, you’ll live to regret your decision to sell on that one fateful night. I hope it doesn’t tear you up for the rest of your life.
Despite everything I wish you well!
Seconded. May we agree on the term "Lowcoiner" on those who hodl a fraction of a whole bitcoin? |

Alright, then please name me one Member of WO who did explicitly expect that you would sell the bottom. If you can't, you indirectly prove the black swan criteria as true. (Something happening nobody expected). Go on. I can play well Maybe it was a black swan even only for me. How did you (or any of you) get affected by my decision? That's a different question, but i stopped trusting that anybody here who is claiming to never-go-mindrust would not go mindrust at some point. It's about credibility and the message it sends out to the world. "See: Even the most hardest bitcoin believers abandon ship at some point"-type of narrative. This has consequences.

You'll do whatever you are going to do no matter what I think or say just like I did and will do no matter what you think about me. I like this forum because I like to talk to real people and discuss stuff (politics, finance, gambling, lifestyle and anything else) while I work and I almost work all the time. This topic in particular acts like a chatbox. (or trollbox?) If you make your financial decisions based on my posts you are screwed. The data is out there you can read it yourself and make your own decisions. (Charts, prices, news etc) If you believe I have the power to trigger a black swan event, then you are delusional. Alright, then please name me one Member of WO who did explicitly expect that you would sell the bottom. If you can't, you indirectly prove the black swan criteria as true. (Something happening nobody expected). Go on. I can play well EDIT: And yes. Calling this event a black swan was a bet i've no problem to lose (should i lose it). |
