but its at the point where people dont feel uncomfortable about it anymore lol so they'll just straight up tell you they're racist or sexist or w/e.

I haven’t stopped drinking entirely - but it’s only 1-2 beers or a glass or two of scotch once a month. I’ve made it reward and reserve it only for special occasions.
I’ve had many trips with LSD, Ketamine, Psilocybin and Canabis. Also ripe for abuse but I use them with intention to change my point of view.
I was an ER Trauma and Forensic Nurse for several years and alcohol is by far the worst kind of poison we can put in our bodies.
Good on you HODL. Keep it up brother!

I was thinking lately…
All those announcements…
The weird price action…
The world flipping upside down.
If I were in charge, what would I personally do? Why? How?
Here’s a potential Strategy ₿ for the US 🇺🇸
1. Let the ETFs keep stacking hard (1M BTC today… 2M+ by end of 2025).
2. Go ultra-aggressive in 2025. Print own currency and stack like there’s no tomorrow. Another 2M BTC? Doable.
3.Nationalize US-based ETFs. Just like they did with gold. Payout in fiat, keep the corn.
4.Rug pull the BRICS. Announce an all-in Bitcoin standard, overtake gold, and lock in global financial dominance.
4M Bitcoin secured.
Game over.
Thoughts?

Martyr Isihie of Năsăud, a humble tailor, faced persecution for his Orthodox faith under the Habsburg Empire. Refusing to convert to Catholicism, he was imprisoned and tortured. They tried to make him renounce his faith, but he remained steadfast. Legend says he prayed with such fervor that his chains miraculously fell off multiple times. Ultimately, he was martyred for Christ, his unwavering faith a beacon for others.
Holy Martyr Isihie, pray to God for us, that we may be strengthened in faith and perseverance!

This year might be the wildest one of my life.
And that's saying a lot.
Each year seems to be getting a bit more extreme.

Democrats are forced into a political corner that's going to be extremely difficult to squeeze out of.
Either admit that the Government ran by a bipartisan cooperative, Democrat majority or Republican majority runs as it should.
Or
The Democrats must admit to the American people that the current form of governance is flawed and needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the roots to the crown before the 2026 midterms and definitely before 2028 Presidential Election.
Your choice Democrats, I'll wait

🚨JOE ROGAN: "People are worried that Elon is going to steal everyone's money. He has $400B. Elon's not going to steal your money. That's not what he's doing. He's a super genius that has been f**ked with. When you've been f**ked with by these nitwits that hide behind 3-letter agencies, and you're dealing with one of the smartest people alive helping Donald Trump get into office and find out what corruption is really going on, you f**ked up.
You f**ked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum. He's going to hunt you down and find out what's going on, and that's good for everybody. That's how you should be looking at this, like 'Wow, we have a brilliant mind examining these really corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards."

Awesome!!! I just started my seeds Sunday and I already have arugula popping. I started with herbs (things that can start inside or in hydroponics). I will be starting hot peppers and other vegetables soon. So far, great sign!!! Got high hopes for 2025 as being a great year!!!

According to a release from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), on February 10, the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), in concert with CENTCOM forces, conducted a precision strike near Kirkuk, Iraq that killed two ISIS terrorists. Post-strike clearance activities found an explosive suicide belt, weapons components, and explosive material. The operation was part of the Defeat ISIS (D-ISIS) mission subordinate to the Coalition Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve (CTF-OIR).

If they are meant to be hooked up in a house then there is usually a regulator needed between large tanks and appliances. Even campers have regulators between tanks and appliances. Maybe it's designed to need a regulator and has some over pressure safety.

Drex e o risco das CBDCs: O caminho para o controle estatal no Brasil?
por Artêmio Picanço
A implementação do Drex, a Moeda Digital de https://revistaoeste.com/tag/banco-central/
(CBDC) brasileira, tem sido amplamente promovida pelo Banco Central como um avanço na digitalização da economia. A promessa é de maior eficiência nas transações financeiras, inclusão bancária e redução de custos (Banco Central do Brasil, 2023). No entanto, por trás desse discurso otimista, escondem-se riscos profundos para a privacidade e a liberdade do cidadão brasileiro. A adoção de uma moeda digital programável, emitida e controlada diretamente pelo Estado, abre precedentes preocupantes para a vigilância e a coerção financeira da população.

A Ilusão da Modernização
O argumento oficial a favor do Drex é sedutor: mais rapidez, menos burocracia e maior acessibilidade financeira. De fato, em um país onde a informalidade ainda predomina, um sistema monetário digital pode parecer benéfico. No entanto, essa “modernização” traz consigo uma armadilha perigosa: a centralização absoluta do dinheiro na mão do Estado.

Diferentemente das criptomoedas descentralizadas, como o Bitcoin, que operam em redes distribuídas e resistem à censura, as CBDCs são completamente controladas pelos bancos centrais (Narayanan et al., 2016). Isso significa que cada transação poderá ser monitorada em tempo real, eliminando qualquer resquício de privacidade financeira. Se hoje o sistema bancário já permite rastrear movimentações sob certas condições, a CBDC tornará esse monitoramento total e automático, sem necessidade de ordens judiciais ou justificativas formais.
Privacidade em Risco e a Proteção Constitucional
O direito à privacidade é um princípio fundamental garantido pela Constituição Federal de 1988. O artigo 5º, inciso X, estabelece que “são invioláveis a intimidade, a vida privada, a honra e a imagem das pessoas, assegurado o direito à indenização pelo dano material ou moral decorrente de sua violação” (Brasil, 1988). Já o inciso XII do mesmo artigo protege o sigilo das comunicações telegráficas, de dados e das comunicações telefônicas, exceto por ordem judicial.

Além disso, o sigilo bancário, como parte do direito à privacidade, foi consolidado ao longo das décadas para proteger o cidadão de intervenções arbitrárias do Estado. A Lei Complementar nº 105/2001 regula o sigilo bancário, estabelecendo que ele só pode ser quebrado em casos específicos, mediante autorização judicial ou por solicitação de órgãos fiscalizadores dentro dos limites legais. Essa proteção surgiu como resposta a regimes autoritários do passado, que utilizavam o controle financeiro como ferramenta de perseguição política e econômica (Pereira & Souza, 2015).
Entretanto, com a implementação do Drex, a lógica do sigilo bancário pode ser completamente subvertida. Como toda transação será registrada e acessível pelo Banco Central, a privacidade financeira poderá ser reduzida a uma mera formalidade, sujeita à interpretação e ao interesse do Estado.
O Modelo Chinês e o Perigo da Vigilância Financeira
O Drex pode ser usado para criar um banco de dados completo sobre hábitos de consumo, ideologias e até preferências políticas dos cidadãos. Esse risco já foi identificado por pesquisadores que alertam para a possibilidade de governos utilizarem CBDCs como ferramentas de vigilância financeira (Brito & Castillo, 2021).
O caso chinês é um exemplo alarmante. O yuan digital, implementado pelo Banco Popular da China, foi integrado ao sistema de crédito social do país, permitindo que o governo restrinja acessos financeiros com base no comportamento dos cidadãos (Fanusie & Robinson, 2018). Pessoas que criticam o governo podem ter seu acesso a serviços financeiros limitado, impedindo desde compras básicas até o acesso a crédito e viagens internacionais.
Se um sistema semelhante for adotado no Brasil, mesmo sob a justificativa de segurança e combate a crimes financeiros, os riscos para a democracia serão imensos. Uma vez que o Estado tenha o controle total sobre as finanças dos cidadãos, ele poderá, na prática, punir dissidentes políticos, restringir transações consideradas “inadequadas” e criar mecanismos de coerção econômica.
Mecanismo de Controle Estatal e a Subversão do Direito à Privacidade
Com o Drex, o governo poderá exercer um controle financeiro sem precedentes. Caso haja interesse político, uma simples ordem administrativa poderia congelar contas de opositores, limitar saques, impedir compras de determinados bens ou até aplicar penalidades automáticas sem processo judicial. Se hoje já há preocupações com bloqueios arbitrários de contas bancárias e censura financeira, imagine quando todo o dinheiro estiver sob o total domínio do Estado (Goodell & Aste, 2021).
Além disso, o caráter programável do Drex abre espaço para políticas invasivas, como a criação de datas de expiração para o dinheiro (forçando o cidadão a gastar antes de um prazo determinado) ou a restrição do uso da moeda a setores específicos. O que impede um governo de condicionar o uso do Drex ao cumprimento de determinadas regras sociais ou políticas?
Com isso, o princípio constitucional da privacidade financeira é ameaçado, tornando o sigilo bancário uma promessa vazia diante do poder tecnológico do Estado. Se, historicamente, o sigilo bancário foi concebido como uma barreira contra abusos de poder, a implementação do Drex pode reverter esse avanço e inaugurar uma nova era de monitoramento financeiro total.
O Caminho Para a Dissidência Financeira
A adoção do Drex não deve ser encarada como um avanço inevitável. A sociedade civil precisa questionar essa medida antes que seja tarde demais. A alternativa para preservar a liberdade financeira passa pelo uso de criptomoedas descentralizadas, dinheiro em espécie e até sistemas de troca direta (peer-to-peer), garantindo que o cidadão tenha opções fora do alcance do controle estatal.
Se a implementação do Drex seguir sem resistência, o Brasil poderá estar abrindo caminho para um modelo de vigilância financeira sem precedentes. Hoje, a promessa é de inovação e eficiência. Amanhã, pode ser o começo do fim da autonomia financeira do cidadão comum. A questão que se impõe é: estamos dispostos a correr esse risco?
