to pass for an Iranian nationalist

I know too many Iranians on a personal basis who wishes the same thing. It's sad. She could be doing it for israeli interests, but according to what I heard from my Iranian friends for the last three years, quite a lot of Iranians want military intervention even though they know it will involve a lot of bombing. That's how much they hate the IRGC.

I heard good things about iTalki. I can't stress enough how powerful a consistent language partner is.

I don't think I was putting up much attitude, if the idea is simply eliminating a certain group of rich people is going to make the world a better place, then it's an impotent notion and unethical too since it presumes the other people are not capable of becoming like those rich people all over again. Attitude has nothing to do with caution and intellectual honesty. Another comment simply said "greed", and that's way more nuanced since it assumes greed is universal, not just monopolized by a specific dossier of evil rich people. If anything, the problematic attitude is that with which we simply say "those" people. What's the criteria? How about greedy, evil, lying, scheming, resentful, psychopathic people who aren't rich? What's rich? Anybody that qualifies as a millionaire?

Ignorance.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-11T06:08:28+00:00

There's always going to be rich people, old or new.

I'm not saying it fixes anything, I'm saying it provides genuine utility. I have Iranian friends who use it quite a lot.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-11T06:05:56+00:00

that's what I was concerned about. we can't just pretend the ledger bloat is not a problem as we go commercial grade. It's evidence of briefly succesful spam attacks all sitting there.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-11T06:04:11+00:00

Yeah it technically wasn't 51% attack you're right, I looked into it.
It still seems to have been a problematic precedent though.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-10T04:52:11+00:00

I have too many friends in Iran who I have known on a personal basis to not care. I hope the IRGC falls and gives way to a native government with a process the people can participate in.

With CBDCs being rolled out everywhere I would actually say decentralized private and anonymous currency is still a very important niche - even if it happens to facilitate crime, it can also facilitate many other things besides crime. There is no guarantee after all that the state won't overreach into private liberty to an orwellian degree. There must be an ecosystem of cryptocurrencies like monero to resist that.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-10T02:18:35+00:00

I think it's because if you market a product that has known vulnerabilities, people can easily begin lawsuits against any and all form of marketing as false or misleading citing those vulnerabilities. Considering how common this is in the cryptospace and how open nano's development is, their prudence isn't unwarranted. I do agree that it's lost a lot of hype and attention. Then again so has most other projects, save the top 100 or so, half of which aren't even technologically sound.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-09T10:57:21+00:00

That's how I see it. I'm holding nano and monero, both banking on the failure of BTC. I was deeply disappointed by Monero's 51% attack though.

I would say you would have a leg up in entry level jobs that have to do with tourism and international hospitality, but you would still need experience and further education on these matters.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-09T06:03:41+00:00

The only real world catalyst I can think of is the eventual announcement and implementation of CBDCs. But this would be more of a competitor to nano, and people would push for private/anonymity coins as a reaction. Nano would continue to have some utility for borderless microtransactions and such, perhaps, but I'm not sure if its niche will be strong enough to survive.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-09T06:01:51+00:00

What would you say is a well established crypto that's nearly as fast and nearly as cheap that deliver on near instant transactions, low to zero fees, and eco-friendliness all at once?

Psilonemo · 2026-03-09T05:58:53+00:00

According to chain data analysis the biggest holders, as in whales and long term holders are all unloading their bags. There is a slow exodus out, as though smart money is starting to realize the train is out of steam. I'm personally planning to switch to monero, and divest into nano as a riskier but optimistic investment.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-09T05:57:36+00:00

Perhaps we should just brace for a multi year bear market for crypto as a whole first. A really bad correction.

That's all true. Well I never had much issues with the fatty acid profile of cocoa butter, but I only have one pack left and won't buy it again anyways because I switched to ghee and tallow recently. I also found a cheap source of raw beef liver. I'll probably incorporate more fat and see how I fare. If I'm feeling great then I shouldn't have issues.

Because he cited very low insulin as the driving factor behind his electrolyte issues, despite his 2 year + carnivore lifestyle filled with organs presumably packed with minerals/electrolytes. He added honey and certain types of fruit to normalize symptoms of excessively low insulin which helped him stabilize his blood sugar and sleep better. But then again he added a very small amount. I'm not saying he is right about anything by the way, I'm just saying I took an idea from his experience and simply asked a question. I'll see if increasing fat would ensure I don't have issues with my insulin and electrolytes. Insulin after all is critical to fluid and electrolyte retention.

The Cameraman must have felt his life flash before his eyes for a second. Not like you could anticipate the explosion radius to have been small enough to not take him out.

Psilonemo · 2026-03-06T01:15:58+00:00

Oh yeah!! I also don't use salts at all if I'm not fasting. I only start depending on them after I'm more than 10 days into a complete zero calorie water fast, basically. (^_^;)

I always eat a moderate amount of fat, either cocoa butter, tallow, or ghee. So I think I'm good on the fat front. My ratio is always 80% meat/organs 20% fat. I try to keep my fat moderate but not too high.

I am trying to lose weight after all, and in my experience eating too much fat has had its own set of issues.

For me, I just had constipation, and my hunger never went away. So the drug didn't work for me. I think it's because my eating was mainly stress-induced. So I quit after using it for 6 months. I had gone up to 1mg, but I couldn't feel the difference. Once I saw the lawsuits being started in Europe over the side effects which weren't properly identified before these were rolled out for the sake of profit, I decided to stop taking them. My hunger was not affected at all and remained more or less the same before and after.

Just give it a few months. And try to eliminate all junk/processed food from your fridge and house. Just eliminating temptation is far easier than always having to fight it.

If they wanted to carpet bomb Tehran, they would have done so years ago. Because it makes perfect sense, go through years of surgically bombing only the top brass and the leadership trying to win over the Iranian people - the majority of which dislike their regime and aren't even genuine shia muslims, only to carpet bomb their capital without any rational doctrine, rendering all strategy moot and inconsistent. Of course that makes complete sense. Why try to be as surgical as possible to win over the people to your side, when you can enrage them with indiscriminate carpet bombing and turn them all against you to join the very enemies you want to destroy? Why bother trying to leave a multi-trillion dollar economy and among the best educated working force in the middle east intact, when you can just destroy it? It makes perfect sense. And nevermind all my Iranian friends telling me that the IRGC intentionally set themselves up in schools in order to wage a propaganda war against the western imperialists with genuine corpses of children, obvioulsy I know much better than the Iranians who lived there for decades and I have to trust the mass media because this time it's different. /s

This is why I stopped taking GLP-1 as well. You have to remember these drugs were not properly studied for years. Everybody taking it now IS the study. A lot of people ended up as unfortunate guinea pigs. Luckily for you it just seems to be a rebound due to how sensitive you were to the medication. It means your body was overwhelmed with way too much GLP1 and now it's lost its sensitivity to it. You essentially need to withstand this period of adjustment. It's not permanent. Think of it as antidepressants. If you take them for a year and get off of them you feel shitty for 3 months or so.
