@DrNickA @RollingHedge I can assure you as an American that your family will never encounter guns unless you actively seek them out. Idk the exact numbers but I reckon shootings in the U.S. are just as prevalent as stabbings or other random acts of violence in the UK and elsewhere.
English

I’ve had this conversation multiple times. Congrats if you can uproot the wife and kids.
Everywhere else seems close to as shit tho. Europe is just as cooked. I fancy Texas but the wife is scared of guns. So that’s out.
Paradigmatically, the entire system is structured to crush anyone who tries to escape the farm. We don’t want outliers or winners we want drones sending honey back to the hive. We’ve had this brand of utilitarianism baked into us for over a hundred years. It’s made the country systemically lazy and dependent on the state. Our ambition has been extinguished and we have zero vitality as a nation. No one’s got any ideas but to snatch at an exponentially shrinking pie.
If Anglo futurism is leave, we are in trouble. We can’t let England die like this. I have resolved to stay and do something. Don’t know what it is yet. But bailing out is a last resort imo
English

For the last ~15 years since I left uni, I’ve been a consistent top 1% (at the start) to top 0.1% taxpayer (last few years).
I’m not rich, though. We live modestly. We save. We invest. We are sensible.
But I work hard. Really hard. Most weekends I’m writing strategic go to market plan, white papers for new products, attending ExCo calls, or sending data to our major stakeholders.
I’m also the only real income in our household for the last few years. My wife runs her own small company and they do quite well for their size - they paid our kids school fees for a few years, sure it’s up and down, as any new endeavour tends to be - but she also gets absolutely hosed by Reeves for any success she can manifest.
And I’m sick to the back teeth of the way the economy treats risk-takers and entrepreneurial people, and the general way it is configured. It’s all wrong.
I’ve absolutely had enough.
The social contract is totally and utterly broken.
The state is eating the economy; it rewards indolence and kills ambition.
I’ve left the country before for work opportunities and better prospects, so I’m not averse to the idea. Though I don’t really in my heart of hearts want to and I suspect this is what the state is betting on more broadly.
This time around, I have remained in Britain so far because: it’s our home, our families are here, our friends are here, we bought a big pile in Surrey to put down roots after a lot of travel, our kids are settled in school, and our parents are in their twilight years. It’s not easy to just up roots like it was in the past.
But it is inescapable that the country is structurally fucked. In every conceivable way.
You can’t build. You can’t keep what you make. There’s very little to zero return on your taxable income and efforts.
Long term, the delta between state spending and borrowing and its productivity and wages/tax receipts is moving in an exponential K-shape.
The pension system is geared against people like me who put in, and geared towards a critical mass of indolents - both domestic and imported - plus a big proportion of boomers who have never contributed what I have. And in my pond, I’m not even a big fish.
16,500 of us have already voted with our feet.
I’m just absolutely done paying for welfare socialism and Islamist scope creep. I see the Greens waiting. Reform is the main alternative to the traditional parties and they’re a total joke. Despite their membership numbers and THE EXCELLENT @RupertLowe10 - I am unconvinced Restore will ever be given a fair hearing by the mainstream media. Their electoral cut-through is likely to suffer as a result. The SDP led by the brilliant Clouston still have no cut-through. It’s collectively all so disappointing. I will continue to support both parties as they are the only patriots left.
My friends - many of them - are out already, and many more are about to be. It’s 90% of what we discuss when we meet.
Tonight I made a decision. I’m out.
Do what is best for your family now.
No one you know in your day-to-day life is remotely aware of what’s coming.
It will be swift and it will be unforgiving.
No one is coming to save you.
Good luck. Godspeed.

Family WhatsApp chat entry dropped in like a live grenade… tick tock

Big shoutout to Rainbet - I fucked up my slip earlier and they helped to correct it with no bs.
Anyway,
Strickland vs Hernandez won’t be anything special just because they both have pillow hands.
I see the fight being a case of defence [Strickland] vs attack [Hernandez] and realistically, defence tends to win.
Hernandez is also a “good” pressure fighter who comes forward like the guy he’s fighting owes him money.
But it’s not enough to beat Strickland unless you pair it with genuine knockout power [think Pereira].
I still don’t know how Hernandez is a favourite, perhaps because of his winning streak so far - but who has he fought lol?
He lost to Kevin Holland trolling around.
Also cooked in a lil parlay,
Garcia for the boxing masterclass as per usual.
Don’t usually like parlays because it’s a bad omen, so downsized a tiny bit but the odds are insanely good either way.

@andyyy @lurkaroundfind @intern We’re definitely in a bear market if we’re doing $100 public bets on the timeline

@lurkaroundfind @intern I’m gonna get rocked aren’t I??? 🤣
Will have to ape monad as a hedge
English

If all L1s are in the same place, buy Monad.
- Cheapest serious L1
- Newest serious L1, so least technical debt
- Team has biggest cash treasury relative to market cap of any project in crypto
- As a bonus, insider unlocks don't begin till November
Monad is a new beginning.

- sol vs eth vs <insert your chain> is pointless discussion cause nothing significant happens on any of them, so nobody really won (and coincidentally nobody really lost yet)

Question for Americans from a dumb Aussie about the Minnesota thing.
Obama used ICE to deport approx 3M illegals, and got the nickname "Deporter in Chief". And he wasn't even voted in on doing that. There were some protests, but nothing even remotely violet or crazy.
Why is now everyone so violet and crazy? Is there any other explanation apart from Orange Man Bad?
English

@krugermacro I’ll take the other side of this: OF girls who prove that they’re real by appearing in famous influencers’ content will continue to earn a premium
The internet has been flooded with free pornography for decades, yet OF girls have made a ton of cash. It’s fundamentally parasocial
English

Incoming OnlyFans recession: AI-generated girls flood the market → infinite supply → creator earnings → zero.
What will OF girls do for a living then?
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet
I have good news and bad news. 1. Good news for folks in Southeast Asia who will start making big bucks online. 2. Bad news for Western Instagram influencers and OnlyFans girls: you'll need a real job soon. Are you entertained?

@JasonBassler1 @Forbes If $19m is 85% of a cartel’s money, it’s the worst-performing cartel of all time…
English

Reminder: Maduro recently disclosed that 85% of the cartel's money is laundered through the US banking system.
@Forbes corroborated that in August last year 👇

Wait, this moment is so special to me 🥹 @gmoneyNFT witnessing me get my first ever NFT and it’s @jackbutcher of all people!
For a long time, the crypto space felt so unfamiliar it was overwhelming—and now it’s everywhere, being introduced to pedestrians able to appreciate it!

@DipWheeler I’ve been in crypto for 5 years and I bought 10+ girls a birkin (they take turns), does that count?
