Reading a lot about the Essex Boys murders of late
Pat Tate was an absolute handful, on the wing in nick, a petty crim was robbing the cells, the cons filled him in with a few digs, Pat walked in and said, that's not how you deal with them. Picked up a ketchup bottle, smashed it and jabbed it in his face, picked him up and dropped him over the edge without a care in the world, banged the alarm with his elbow and walked off

The Old Testament is not an allegory. It’s very straightforward and specific. So much so that only certain jews could enter the holy of holys and if they were wearing the wrong jewels, god would strike them dead. It’s a fiction. The creator of all things confined to a room that people made. It reads, once you get out of the mind cult telling you what to think about what you read, like a convoluted, failed experiment. The likelihood that the creator, if there is one, needs validation via worship, or obedience is just stupid. If this was all created, that being needs nothing. Again I say, read those words verbatim, without stretching outside of the meaning written using the words. Virgin birth? Everyone knows that is impossible, yet this is conveniently ignored… it’s all so tiresome. Morality exists outside of fear of being burned alive and chewed on for all eternity by a loving creator, because I didn’t believe in fairytales.

Yeah, I've heard of the expectation of getting things for "free" as being part of the fiat, Web 2.0 mindset.
I'm no fan of a subscription model either, but I think I could get with a pay per use model, which I don't see as the same exact thing. Like if I want to read a particular article or note/post, I might be willing to pay for that with a micro-payment of a few sats, possibly. I'm not sure, though, because it hasn't really been tested, to my knowledge.

Hello #Nostr friends ☀️
I have a great new and you are the first one to know about it 👀
Our roomate moved out and we got permission from our landlord to rent the room for short-term holidays. 🏡
So before we put the official offer on Airbnb and Booking I am letting you know about this offer first 👌
We are located in Brno, Czech republic (aproximately 40 min to city centre). You can rent small room in our house for short-term period (kitchen, living room and batchroom is shared with us). The price is 40 000 sats/night (for now, it could differ) - which is great deal for Brno. If you prefer to pay by cash it is also possible, but price will be highter. 💰 We have big garden with free range chickens, so it will be better if you are aware of this fact. The room is suitable for 1 person (there is only one bed, but we have air matress in case you are two people).
We would be happy to provide other service as well (breakfast from home eggs, dinner our tours around Brno).
Brno is 2,5 hour drive from Prague. So it could be one of your stop when you are visiting BTC Prague 👌
We would be really happy to host fellow Bitcoiners.☄ If you are interested in this offer, let me know.

Here's your summary from O-ZYN-PIC?: Zyn being touted as ‘nicotine Ozempic’ for weight loss (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js9XUFp_4XI) on the Fox News channel:
**TLDR:** Zyn, a flavored nicotine pouch, is being promoted as a weight loss aid due to its appetite suppressant properties, but experts are concerned about its safety and lack of extensive studies.
1. Zyn is a nicotine pouch that acts as an appetite suppressant, potentially aiding in weight loss.
2. Nicotine in Zyn can raise blood pressure, heart rate, and constrict blood vessels, leading to safety concerns.
3. Hot sauce and spicy foods containing certain chemicals can affect the heart and blood vessels, potentially triggering heart issues, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Lesson 139
I will accept Atonement for myself.
1. Here is the end of choice. ²For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. ³And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are? ⁴There is no doubt that is not rooted here. ⁵There is no question but reflects this one. ⁶There is no conflict that does not entail the single, simple question, “What am I?”
2. Yet who could ask this question except one who has refused to recognize himself? ²Only refusal to accept yourself could make the question seem to be sincere. ³The only thing that can be surely known by any living thing is what it is. ⁴From this one point of certainty, it looks on other things as certain as itself.
3. Uncertainty about what you must be is self-deception on a scale so vast, its magnitude can hardly be conceived. ²To be alive and not to know yourself is to believe that you are really dead. ³For what is life except to be yourself, and what but you can be alive instead? ⁴Who is the doubter? ⁵What is it he doubts? ⁶Whom does he question? ⁷Who can answer him?
4. He merely states that he is not himself, and therefore, being something else, becomes a questioner of what that something is. ²Yet he could never be alive at all unless he knew the answer. ³If he asks as if he does not know, it merely shows he does not want to be the thing he is. ⁴He has accepted it because he lives; has judged against it and denied its worth, and has decided that he does not know the only certainty by which he lives.
5. Thus he becomes uncertain of his life, for what it is has been denied by him. ²It is for this denial that you need Atonement. ³Your denial made no change in what you are. ⁴But you have split your mind into what knows and does not know the truth. ⁵You are yourself. ⁶There is no doubt of this. ⁷And yet you doubt it. ⁸But you do not ask what part of you can really doubt yourself. ⁹It cannot really be a part of you that asks this question. ¹⁰For it asks of one who knows the answer. ¹¹Were it part of you, then certainty would be impossible.
6. Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt yourself, and be unsure of what you really are. ²This is the depth of madness. ³Yet it is the universal question of the world. ⁴What does this mean except the world is mad? ⁵Why share its madness in the sad belief that what is universal here is true?
7. Nothing the world believes is true. ²It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not know themselves can come to question what it is they are. ³And they will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt yourself, and not to be aware of what you are.
8. Only acceptance can be asked of you, for what you are is certain. ²It is set forever in the holy Mind of God, and in your own. ³It is so far beyond all doubt and question that to ask what it must be is all the proof you need to show that you believe the contradiction that you know not what you cannot fail to know. ⁴Is this a question, or a statement which denies itself in statement? ⁵Let us not allow our holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings such as this.
9. We have a mission here. ²We did not come to reinforce the madness that we once believed in. ³Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. ⁴It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. ⁵What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be, along with us. ⁶Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself. ⁷Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are part of you, and you of them.
10. This does Atonement teach, and demonstrates the Oneness of God’s Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. ²Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about yourself, and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. ³It is but this that we are asked to do. ⁴It is but this that we will do today.
11. Five minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for today. ²We start with this review of what our mission is:
³I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
⁴We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. ⁵We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one. ⁶And in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how our Father’s Love contains them all.
12. In thanks for all creation, in the Name of its Creator and His Oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from our holy aim. ²For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy Son of God. ³And learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness, as you say:
⁴I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.

ABD Adalet Bakanlığı'nın Samourai Wallet'a karşı yürüttüğü kovuşturmadaki eylemlerinin neden teröristçe, gayrimeşru ve etik dışı olduğuna dair -bizim Anarko-kapitalist cenahın dışındakiler ve dolayısıyla konuya yabancılar için- bir argüman sunacağım.
Devlet, bir suçu geriye dönük olarak affedebilen herhangi bir varlıktır. Eğer bir cinayeti affederseniz, bir ordunuz olur. Bir saldırıyı affederseniz, polis gücü elde edersiniz. Eğer bir hırsızlığı affederseniz, vergilendirme yetkisine sahip olursunuz. Sınırlı sayıda insan için kuralları değiştirme ve aksi takdirde suç olacak şeyleri yapmaları için onlara lisans verme konusunda egemen bir yeteneğin var olduğu düşüncesi, size Devlet'in çok net bir tanımını verir. Devlet, doğası gereği yanlış olan bir şey yaptığınızda ellerinizi yıkayan şeydir.
Samourai Wallet'ın geliştiricilerinin kısa bir süre önce hapse atılması, ABD hükümetinin mahremiyet, finansal özgürlük ve özellikle de mübadele aracı kullanımı özgürlüğüne yönelik yeni bir saldırısı anlamına geliyor.
Samourai'nin sahipleri lisanssız para transferi yapmak, kara para aklamak ve terörizmin finansmanıyla mücadele önlemlerine uymamak gibi nedenlerle suçlanıyor.
Öncelikle, herhangi bir özgürlükçü hukuk sisteminde suç olarak kabul edilmeyecek bir suç olan kara para aklamakla itham edildiler. İster minarşist, ister kapitalist, ister liberteryen, ister anarşist, ister agorist ya da orta derecede rasyonel herhangi bir sosyal örgütlenme sisteminde, bir suçun var olabilmesi için bir mağdurun olması gerekir. Diğer bir deyişle, başka bir kişiyi mağdur etmediği sürece hiç kimsenin cezalandırılmasına lüzum ve gerekçe yoktur; bu tür bir durumda cezalandırma tamamen mantığa, etiğe ve akla mugayir bir eylemdir. Bir mağdurun olması için, başka bir kişiye rıza dışı zarar verilmesi gerekir. Sadece komünist ya da komünizm yanlısı sistemlerde, hiç kimseye zarar vermemiş olsalar bile bireyleri cezalandırma zorbalığına müsamaha gösterilebilir.
Mevcut yasalara göre para aklama suçu, esasen, yasadışı faaliyetler yoluyla elde edilen fonların yasadışı kaynağını gizleyerek, bu parayı (yasadışı olarak) yasal finansal sisteme sokmak ve meşru faaliyetlerden kaynaklandığı görüntüsünü vermek eyleminden oluşmaktadır. Yani esasında kimseye zararı olmayan bir psödö-suç... Başka bir deyişle, bariz bir anlamda cezalandırılmaması gereken bir eylem. Hatta bu, ödüllendirilmeyi dahi hak eden bir eylemdir. Parasını üçüncü şahıslara zarar vermeyen mal ve hizmetleri elde etmek için kullanmaya karar veren "suçlu" bir bütün olarak topluma yardım etmiş olmuyor mu? Paranın suçlular tarafından kullanılmasının engellenmesi toplumun yararına mıdır? Devlet, bir kişiyi suçlu yapan üçüncü şahıslara karşı zararlı faaliyetleri zaten yasaklamışken, neden para kullanmak gibi tamamen zararsız bir faaliyetin cezalandırılmasını teşvik etmektedir? Gönüllü ifşa programları ya da af programları, bu bağlamdaki davranışın yasal olması dışında, kara para aklama suçuyla tamamen aynı eylemi teşvik etmiyor mu? O hâlde, kara para aklama yasaları bu eylemi ara sıra kabul ettiğine göre, neden her zaman kabul etmesin? Ve kara para aklama yasaları tarafından kabul edilen eylem (temelde aklama ile aynı) topluma zarar veriyorsa, neden izin veriliyor? Ya kara para aklama gerçekten zarar vermemektedir ve yasadışı olmamalıdır ya da kara para aklama yasaları topluma zarar vermektedir ve bu nedenle yasadışı olmalıdır.
Öte yandan, terörizm uygulaması, başkalarına uygulanan korku ve dehşet aracılığıyla onlar üzerinde tahakküm kurmak olarak tanımlanabilir. Dolayısıyla terörizmin finansmanı, başkaları üzerinde terör estirerek tahakküm kurmaya adanmış bir kuruluşa mali destek sağlanmasıdır. Hem bu Samourai Wallet vakasında hem de Tornado Cash, Silk Road ve benzeri pek çok vakada Devlet, mücadele ettiğini iddia ettiği sözde teröristlere mali yardım sağlandığını göstermekte başarısız olmuştur. Terörizmin finansmanı ile gerçekten mücadele edilmek isteniyorsa, işe vergi toplama ve para basma ile mücadele ederek başlanmalıdır. Bunlar, usulüne uygun olarak kanıtlanmış tek teröristin ekonomisine katkıda bulunan temel mali araçlardır. Hiç şüphe yok ki yukarıda bahsi geçen üç vaka ve diğer pek çok vakada Devlet, benzer girişimlerde bulunan diğer müteşebbislere korku salmak ve aba altından sopa göstermek amacıyla insanları sahte isnatlar üzerinden tutuklamaktadır.
Son olarak, Devlet'in, her insanın kendi insan doğası gereği sahip olduğu yetkinliklere ruhsat, ehliyet gibi eylem kısıtları dayatma, izinlere tâbi tutma ve kontrol etme meşruiyetine sahip olmadığını belirtmek gerekir. Herhangi bir orta derecede rasyonel sosyal organizasyon sisteminde, insanların üçüncü şahısları etkilemeyen özel eylemleri devlet düzenlemelerine tâbi olamaz. Bir kişi bir göle sahipse ve bir başkasının orada balık tutmasına izin veriyorsa, Devlet'in bununla hiçbir ilgisi ve dahli olamaz; yani bu örnekte Devlet, "balıkçılık lisansları" gibi hakları makul koşullarda ne "verebilir" ne de birilerinin elinden alabilir. Aynı şekilde, bir kişi gönüllü olarak mübadele ve etkileşime girmeyi kabul ettiği diğer kişilere para transferi hizmeti sunmak isterse ve bu kişiler zarar görmedikleri veya bu kişiye karşı herhangi bir talepte bulunmadıkları için mağdur değillerse, devletin müdahalesine yer yoktur.
Şanslıyız ki Bitcoin tüm bunları Devlet'i devre dışı bırakarak ve aracılar olmaksızın merkeziyetsiz, eşler arası bir şekilde değer aktarımının önünü açarak düzeltiyor. Ancak hiperbitcoinizasyona giden yol engelsiz değildir ve de olmayacaktır. Statükoyu koruma ve bireyler üzerinde azami kontrol sağlama arayışı Leviathan'ın savaşmadan kaybedeceği bir şey değildir. Bu arada pek çok masum insan, dünyanın efendileri tarafından açıkça onaylanmayan faaliyetlerde bulunmaya cüret etmenin bedelini ödeyecektir. Ancak eninde sonunda özgürlük savaşının bir bütün olarak insanlık tarafından kazanılacağından hiç şüphem yok. Biz onlardan her yönden daha iyiyiz, daha çok üretiyoruz, daha zekiyiz, daha yaratıcıyız ve daha dayanıklıyız. Samourai Wallet örneğinde olduğu gibi, her bir bireyin Devlet'e karşı göğüs göğüse mücadelesi fiziksel olarak kaybedilse de desentralize olmak ve onlardan çok daha fazla ve her an, her yerde olmak, uzun vadede, Bitcoin ve kriptografinin inşa etmemize yardımcı olduğu Devletlerce aşılamaz duvarların yardımıyla savaş kazanılacaktır.
