They move from chem trails to moon landing conspiracies...its just insane and impossible to have a sane discussion with them.
They refuse to listen to facts and use due diligence to do a fact check and just fall back on layers of logical fallacies.
I've dealt with a few and have just given up and cut ties and wish I had done it sooner and not wasted my time in the first place.
TLDR: I agree get way quick there is no hope for them when they start evangelizing.
Or quoting lines from Monty Python. I do not see conspiracies for 1000 here. I mean no offence here, but your attitude is juvenile. Who cares if your friend believes in chem trails or other obvious crazy conspiracy theories. Is he hurting anyone by believing in that?
Believing and pushing onto others are two distinctly different things. I don't care if someone talks conspiracies but if I hear one "Ni!", I'm outta there; there's something seriously wrong with those people. How do you feel about "Peng" and "Neee-Wom"? First I've heard of them... as I said, I'm outta there at "Ni!"

Fucking conspiracy theorists.
Some dude i came to slowly build personal relations with over a couple of years now, and this is a rare type of event in my life, actively texted me today about chemtrails. I was like "R U SERIOUS?!". I had these visual, clear words in my mind: "the show must go on. Always...". After re-texting a few dozen lines of debunkenings and solid reasonings against various absolutely insane sub-theories and statements, i came to a conclusion:
There goes a friendship candidate.
Years wasted.
Go to Start (as in "Monopoly", the game)
I mean, i wouldn't agree to ban Telegram, WhatsApp and the likes, but these message groups avalanche in mobile social media clearly goes over the top of most peoples heads. Still i got no WhatsApp, i am not in a single messaging group in other messenger apps, of which i only use one .more or less regularly.
I mean no offence here, but your attitude is juvenile. Who cares if your friend believes in chem trails or other obvious crazy conspiracy theories. Is he hurting anyone by believing in that? People believe in all sorts of sh1t, and so what, I bet you even believe in things others disagree with. Perhaps even some of your existing friends and family. And why try to debunk his crap? If someone thougt chocolate ice cream was the best but you thought vanilla ice cream was the best would you argue with them about that then cut them out of your life when you couldn’t convince them. Seriously, cutting people off because their thinking doesn't align with yours is exactly why the world is so god damn divided these days. Whatever happened to agree to disagree then continue on with things that you both agree. I actually have a friend who believes in more than just chem trails, he also believes in a flat earth, fake moon landing, mystical energy sources, and other crap. Yeah, I think he is crazy, but he is a nice guy and I enjoy his company. In fact, being that he is open to others ideas he is now also a bitcoiner. I have other acquaintances who are ardent no coiners and they are very unaccepting of others and other ideas.My partner believes in flat earth 🌏 My partner believes in chem trails My partner believes in fake moon landing As for mystical energy sources we both believe in that. Since they are mystical they don’t define well and are easy to believe in. Most likely I am able to be his friend because we both believe in solar. He has a solar company. We like mining gear. Also having had a complete psychotic break and seeing a lot of unreal shit I can honestly tell you The universe can do whatever the fuck it wants in fact it does so I don’t sweat the small stuff. OMG! "My Partner Believes..." sounds like the next song title for @sirazimuth. Obviously, he'll have to collaborate/share the royalties with you @philipma1957. By the way @sirazimuth - " This World is Ours" is my favourite of the songs you have shared with us. Good stuff! edit: Okay, "Wild and Free" has it beat but I was thinking of the acoustic songs.

So you have a common cauuse that you are working towards but don't agree with everything. My god man! How do you do it. Like I said if you saw some of the shit I have seen from 1979 to 1985 you would know there is more to the picture than meets the eye. But I am a deep endless universe/multiverse guy so the flat earth one is the hardest one for me to keep the peace on.

I have a first cousin like that. Very smart, high IQ, but you just can't reason with him. There is no hope. Best course of action is to agree to disagree, keep contact to a minimum and move on. Cousin refuses to visit doctors/hospitals for "reasons". Never been to a dentist and refuses to use toothpaste to wash teeth "because of the chemicals they put in there to dumb us down". He has now lost 2/3 of his teeth (even some front ones).

meanwhile... https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/amid-banking-industry-turmoil-jpmorgan-chase-profits-jump-52-percent'JPMorgan Chase & Co. posted a 52% jump in its first-quarter profits, helped by higher interest rates, which allowed the bank to charge customers more for loans. The bank saw deposits grow noticeably, as business and customers flocked to the banking titan after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank last month.
With JPMorgan’s strong results, as well as solid results from Citigroup and Wells Fargo on Friday, there seem to be few signs of potential trouble in the banking system — at least among the nation’s biggest, most complex financial institutions.'

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

April 15, 2023, 04:50:20 AM Merited by hisslyness (1) |

When the price was stuck at $28k, I called out for it to go up!!! and some a$$hole said it's too good to be true. Welcome $31k now Pic or it didn't happen. [edited out]
I really hope that doesn't happen. While i am not against using ChatGPT to help answer question, i think a straight copy and paste isn't the best way to utilize such a powerful tool. There is a post earlier in the thread that pointed towards the lowering of overall IQ. I don't think that trend is going to reverse anytime soon, especially with the advent of ChatGPT and AI. I mean, did you really understand what Segwit and Taproot is? based on the answer above?, if not, then how would you expect someone else too, right?... And if you did understand it, i would have really, really, appreciated the response more, if you took the time and wrote what you thought it was/is, based on the ChatGPT response or research you had conducted. You be speaking some truths there hissly fisselie. It is likely best for us to attempt to put these matters in our own words in order to really attempt to engage with the subject matter and to demonstrate that we understand the materials well enough in order to grapple with the ideas for a bit and maybe even relating the ideas to some personal experiences. So, surely there can be some decently written ChatGPT pieces or even some very informative wikipedia pieces, but then if we might be trying to apply certain aspects or to explain, perhaps, why we might use taproot in one situation and not use it in another situation.. or we might give an example in terms of how we had used some variation of some wallet or made some transaction in real life and then maybe we would have been in a better or a worse situation if we had used one kind of BTC transaction versus another as compared with some other options that we might have in our real life circumstances.

if you think you will get merited, because you copy stuff from twitter into the WO, you are in the wrong thread. there is no appreciation for people who just come here and use the WO to farm merits with the least amount of effort. it's lazy ...and also disrespectful to abuse the community for your gain... many WOers don't like that. Think about it... do you like lazy and disrespectful people?? you come off like a beggar with bad attitudes shouting at everyone to give you money. how about trying to bring something to the WO by your own writing that has some value to the people here? And most importantly, don't expect merits for it! They will come naturally, when people see that you are not here for the merits The cartoon girl in the pic is cute though... Just saying. ...JJG, could you show your acquaintance the way out?
I ONLY have so many "tricks" up my sleeves, and today I am wearing a tanktop... not a beater a colored one... and thank the almighty that there is a bit of warmer weathers in the mix. Next question
When 32k?
Followed by When Page Parity?
"we" (meaning you) must post more..!!!!!!! Think of it like this. Every post equals a nickle increase in the BTC price, once page parity is reached, which is inevitable. (or pretty fucking damned close to inevitable, absent it not happening). it is just a matter of "when."
