this is also why boys are reading so much less now that children’s publishing has become female dominated
men write archetypes. women write about themselves.
men write about heroes, villains, gods, monsters, extraordinary characters who embody something greater than themselves, heroes that boys can admire and aspire to become
women write characters who look like them, think like them, have their problems and insecurities, characters they can identify with and project themselves onto
men use writing as a vehicle for self-transcendence while women use it as a vehicle for self-recognition
it’s the difference between wanting to become Batman and wanting Batman to become you
it’s then obvious why boys craving the hero’s journey would rather retreat into video games than read yet another piece of autobiographical, gossip-filled, moralizing turboslop
if you want boys to start reading again you need to let men write again

Boys do not need to be socialized. They do not need to be taught the “right way” to read or the “right POVs” to enjoy. They do not need lectures or preaching. They do not need “the message.”
Boys need dragons to slay and princesses to save (and ones who want to be saved, natch). Boys need danger. They need risks and stakes. They need to know what death is and what it means. They need to know what failure looks like so they know how to cope with it when Real Life comes calling. Most of all, they need stories that allow them to be who and what they are without being told why they should be something else.
Boys are not broken girls; they should not be treated as such.
If you REALLY care about getting boys to read again, pay attention to the stories being shared in other media that they like, and emulate those.
Make no mistake: this viewpoint is evil. It deserves no less than to be called out as such.

After all, why shouldn't I do it?
Why shouldn't I visit upscale suburban communities currently under construction & install mesh nodes in almost completed management buildings, disguised as part of the infrastructure?

The rise of private spaces, both digital and physical, will be a major trend of coming decades.
They will grow in number, and even more in depth and commitment—factors that also allow trust to compound even as it becomes scarcer in broader society.
You could end illegal immigration and clear the country of them in short order if "businessmen" like this were fined a million dollars a day for every illegal worker. You know who they are a burden on, Lee? Young American men.
"I was a big part of the blue wave.."
That's Lee Haight, president of RRCA (Roofing & Reconstruction Contractors of America) in Naples, Florida, defending his illegal immigrant crew from ICE and saying they're "necessary," not a burden on society.
In the same video he complains the insurance company steered jobs to his competitors, then brags about an $85,000 stone-coated steel roof on the water and a claim he says could top $150,000.
Cheap labor works out GREAT for the guy at the top. LMAO

He abandoned this country because of its Israel idolatry, I'm thinking.
True.
Also, for the Christian nationalists:
Where was your God last night?
That’s what I thought.
They can shout Christ is King all they want and disparage Jews and Israel but at the end of the day, godless communists and Sharia adherent Muslims are now in control of America.
Where was God last night?
Time for people to think about that.

I agree. And what frustrates me most is that Bitcoiners themselves have allowed this to happen.
Look at what we’ve turned this movement into. Conferences that once stood for sound money and individual sovereignty started promoting shitcoins and NFTs, then corrupt politicians. Trump launched his own memecoin, extracting enormous wealth from the very people this industry claims to empower.
And now we have an entire culture built around number go up, “have fun staying poor,” and celebrating wealth accumulation as though becoming the next generation of financial elites was the whole point.
We’ve somehow managed to recreate the very mentality Bitcoin was invented to challenge.
Meanwhile, the people actually building circular economies, educating communities, running nodes, and making Bitcoin useful in everyday life rarely receive a fraction of the attention or resources.
What happens when number go up stops being enough? When the next generation asks what Bitcoin actually does for them beyond making early adopters wealthier?
Adoption built on speculation is fragile. Adoption built on genuine utility, financial independence, and communities that use Bitcoin because it improves their lives is something entirely different.
Sometimes it genuinely feels as though we’re doing a better job of undermining Bitcoin from within than its opponents ever could.
We were given an extraordinary opportunity to change the relationship between humanity, money, and power. And instead of building a world where fewer people are at the mercy of financial elites, we’re celebrating the prospect of becoming those elites ourselves.
Bitcoin isn’t failing us. We’re failing to live up to what made it revolutionary.
And if we squander that opportunity because we were too busy chasing wealth, status, and political influence to build something that actually liberates people, history won’t be kind to us.

Not your keys, not your coins?
Apparently, it's now:
Your keys, our RPC. Your coins, our permission.
A scammer sends 0.0001 dust to your wallet without your consent.
You didn't approve anything. You didn't interact with the scammer. You simply received an unsolicited transaction on a public blockchain.
Then Phantom's compliance filter kicks in:
"Your address has interacted with a flagged malicious entity. Transactions disabled."
Wait. WHAT?
So a random scammer can poison my wallet address with dust, trigger your automated risk detection, and suddenly I can't use your wallet interface to move my own assets?
Welcome to self-custody, where you own the keys but apparently need corporate permission to use them.
The blockchain didn't freeze my account.
The centralized frontend did.
The irony is almost too good.
We built crypto to escape banks freezing our money, only to end up with fintech apps wearing a decentralization costume.
If a wallet can unilaterally disable your ability to transact because some random third party sent you dust, maybe it's time to rethink what "self-custody" actually means.
Not your keys, not your coins?
More like:
Your keys. Their rules. Their permission.
Peak Web3 UX. 🤡

This is why you should've been building cypherpunk tech the whole time instead of proto-CBDCs and TrustMeBroFi.
But that's none of my business. ☕
🚨JUST IN: 'Anti- Crypto' Elizabeth Warren set to become Senate Banking Committee chair, giving the outspoken crypto critic major influence over financial regulation.
The role would put Warren at the center of crypto legislation, banking oversight and scrutiny of financial regulators.
Democrats also plan to investigate financial ties between the crypto industry, President Trump and his family, per Bloomberg.

Later Boomers/early GenX were the ones that had their retirement age lifted to 67 and their SS taxes increased when they were in their 20s. They didn't bitch or whine because they understood the idea of supplementing the elderly who could no longer participate in the workforce or had fallen on hard times in their old age. Many of us helped our parents and Grandparents in their older years, out of love and respect.
This generation is all "Fuck Grandpa - what did he ever do for me?" It's reprehensible.
I have bad news for you, Boomers and Gen X will come together into a cross-racial, single issue voting block and there will be nothing you can do about paying them the benefits they were promised via 40 years of SS Administration statements mailed to them. Bank on it.
