Michael Litke @michaellitke.bsky.social · 11/03/2026This is not what they're asking for public comments about. The proposed rule is essentially "the board of governors can't encourage or force banks to deny payment processing for legal goods based on other factors". It doesn't say anything about what banks themselves can or can't do 030

Michael Litke @michaellitke.bsky.social · 01/08/2025We need to frame "put in the work to become well adjusted" as *normal* and non political, and to paint the right wing framing as freakish. Part b/c "become well adjusted and then you'll be happier" isn't a convincing argument to be left wing and part b/c it's non a political issue to being with 061
Michael Litke @michaellitke.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Everyone (including this guy) is wrong about this topic. It *is* a problem for society and a problem for young men that they are poorly adjusted especially about the topic of sex. The solution isn't to frame the correct answer "put in the work to become well adjusted" as left wing or to dismiss it 191

Michael Litke @michaellitke.bsky.social · 31/07/2025That's true and cavendish was still really impressive but he was able to compensate for that with his racing skills vs if you lose your engine as a gc rider there's not really any compensating for that 100
