I ended up here by accident. A friend and I had been looking at various interpretations of privatized UBI and he sent me a link (via Facebook messenger) to look at yet another article. That article happened

I would be all in favor of trying to stabilize HBD... IF the token were only an internally traded asset. But we're talking about trying to guide an open and free investment market, where speculators who

That's not an easy one. Problem being, I don't think those people's objectives overlap with our objectives. Let me play "Devils Advocate" for a moment.... Consider this, the last time Hive pumped,

He's an awfully cute kitten! I had no idea you guys had gotten another cat since the two orange floofs.

Oh, I suck at discipline... in a manner of speaking. Meaning that I draw complete blanks and dry spells and then suddenly "vomit" great gobs of creativity for a few days. Where I have found

Could be I've just been out in the sun too long... You'll soon be telling people that being a debt slave for 20 years isn't a good idea... Let me rephrase that: "Soon I will have been telling people

"The unexamined life is not worth living"" I can't possibly hope to count those those moments of futility and desperation; those moments of "I don't know why the fnck I'm here, and

I was going to say that I never play games, but that's not true... I occasionally play solitaire on the computer, for example when I'm on endless hold with some customer "service" department

I'd give the series "The Expanse" a try; it's on the gritty and dystopic side, but really well done. Although it has been off the air for a while, "Fringe" was also a really good show,

Oh @jaynie.... this is comfort food of the highest order! Interesting how similar Danish and Dutch... and by extension Afrikaans... culture and foods often are. In Danish, they are "Frikadeller"

Thank you for the kind words!

One of my best defenses was always playing the "crazy clown" role... insanity makes people far more uneasy and hesitant than force or violence.

And that is funny... and I definitely appreciate that!

That's great to hear! I just hope people will start to value all that we have and have access to, rather than take it for granted.

Hi @cuddlekitten, always lovely to see your sweet presence here!

I consider investing at all to be a good start! As long as you have a fairly clear sense of what that "enough" looks like and the projects you're invested in are sound, I expect you'll be fine!

You're precisely right @yabapmatt! I failed to make it clearer that what usually happens when people "suddenly" end up with $1M is that they don't invest it... instead they buy cars, boats, hookers

I'm just generally not into violence; I've generally believed in the idea that "violence begets more violence" never ends up solving anything. Did I do the right thing? Maybe... that guy mostly

Wow, one of our great thinkers returns! It's nice to "see" you again... here in the reinvented version of what used to be. I see you've had some good suggestions already; you might also check

There's nothing else to be said. I'm reminded of a favorite quote, by Mark Twain: Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. Anger
