don't disagree, but your parents should teach you those things.
it was all well summarised by Rudyard Kipling in the late 1800s:

If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    ⁠And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    ⁠Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    ⁠And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

so we're going back to our Gen X childhoods then? fuck yeah, I'm in.

USD0.00? but how much is that in sats? y'know, real money

so how do you build a cohesive, functional society without some agreed ideology to underpin it?
we're seeing the results in Europe now where you try to make a nation out of multiple and competing ideologies. that just doesn't work either.

we use the term ideology to infer some type of extreme views, but an ideology is simply the agreed set of values and ideas that a group agrees to operate by.
the alternative is anarchy, and that didn't work well either

conservatism hasn't failed. conservatism is simply conserving what already exists, in this case social structure, heritage, institutions, etc that have worked.

we have often failed to conserve, but I dont see how the act of conserving what already works could ever be seen as a failure?

whats ironic is conservatism is seen as being of the right, while conservationism is seen as of the left, yet they are both the same thing.
both from the Latin conservare, meaing to guard, protect or preserve.

and btc drops below us$80k. hmm, is bitcoin driven by Millwall results?
I've cracked it!
this time next year Rodney, we be millionaires!

no one likes you, and you do care.

Good evening from me.
no boat related activity, making cutting boards to flog to the dumabass tourists for an extortionate amount.

i dunno, claude told me i was being inappropriate and I said its nothing i wouldnt say to someone's face.
it said it would say the same to me face to face.
a. bit lippy, fucker.
b. you're not real and don't have a face.
it got all confused and eventually backed down.
