Last Notes I'm just nervous that the next stage is to use this to fully criminalize mixers, but no disagreement here at all. it's absolutely heartbreaking 💔 bitcoin is for our friends and for our enemies, and so are mixers and other anonymity-preserving technologies it sucks but there it is Nice! have fun, and happy birthday 🥳 come back and tell us what you learned, please! I was thinking that earlier today, but now I'm not totally sure. Once you really get that money in banks and money on exchanges aren't actually yours, something like this just sends you deeper down the rabbit hole. MapleAI just told me that I was "spiraling" 😂 (I asked: what if the Coinkite firmware release today included some new glitch - deliberate or innocent - and now everyone is updating to it) I'm sure that this will all improve security in the long term, but... ugh yes, that too actually my husband's first thought was that the whole mess was a psyop. How better to gut the most dedicated segment of the bitcoin community. he means the users - the victims - did everything right Yeah it really really sucks Fair enough. I didn't mean it to be a synopsis of your post (or your views) and I should have made that clear. My note is putting into words a tendency that I've noticed in the community: as soon as someone is making a living within this world, he becomes the enemy. But I'm not sure that you've come back with a coherent argument. "Have to" doesn't make much sense here, and "allowed" is a troubling word. Who do you think should be in charge of enforcing what's allowed? So many people will now say "yes, maybe things got a little out of hand' but will not recognize that them obediently showing their papers is what made it all possible. I don't think nation states are the primary movers in all of this mess. E.g. Americans are super upset about Israel "running" our govt, but it seems clear to me that it's the military industrial complex that has almost complete control over the lawmakers of both nations, such that the US is the money printer for the complex and Israel is a satellite that offers the opportunity to test military and surveillance tech (on Gaza, for instance). That complex doesn't have national borders or loyalties, and I assume that much of the governing structure of Saudia Arabia is captured, or at least that the govt is aligned in some way with another supranational complex. "We want freedom tech!" Also "no one should ever make any money from freedom tech!" To invest in things that you believe in, help build them, and then urge others to use those - that seems like a very decent path to me. @nprofile…7y8r started in bitcoin around 2010, 2011? Michael Saylor in 2020 wtf is he talking about If Saylor wants to turn most of us into advocates for BIP110, he should just keep talking. Right?! (and it's not mine - I saw it on a note here on Nostr but I don't remember who posted it) "Because in this country people eat when they're not hungry and drink when they're not thirsty. They buy what they don't need and throw away everything that's useful. Because of Republicans and Democrats. Because of entitlement and rudeness. Snobbery and religion. Anti-vaxxers and lobbyists. Because of frauds and bullshit artists. Because America is in gridlock. Buying junk, eating junk, and selling junk. Because it's dying on its own ass and can't see why." junk, entitlement, consumerism, lobbyists, fraud, political parties ... and antivaxxers (religion doesn't belong in there either but if he meant the church as an institution, it could make sense) I got a few episodes (I think?) into the Mosquito Coast series a few yaers ago, and the main character was pretty out there but they made sure to say that he didn't like the crazy antivaxxers. You can almost see the writers: "well, we have to stay true enough to the story line to put him outside of society and suspicious of authority, but he's the hero, so... yeah, let's stick in a line that he hates antivaxxers." It was hilariously incongruous. Also so ridiculous that I stopped watching. Some black-eyed Susan varieties are perennial! These are so beautiful 😍 I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on a ton of things - though it's interesting to contemplate where he might have been in a few years - but you know what I love? The idea of "happy warrior" I want to be a happy warrior for all the things I believe in not too long ago I would have taken this as good news yeah - it's the sequence of -it's not happening; you must be a conspiracy theorist/anti-semite/hater -ok, it's happening but it's not that much -actually it's in the interest of Americans - if you oppose this, you hate our country; let's put it into law I haven't looked at it in detail but I assume that the main purpose is to give the US military access to all the nasty military tech that we've been funding for decades? Do you just swap out the hat with every administration? ugh - we have a few things like that here but maybe not quite as bad a weed? (That re-seeds unless you burn it?) noooo This is heartbreaking 💔 A fire taking the orchard that we've planted over the last few years is awful to contemplate. With trees that have been there for decades... I can't imagine 😢 This is the cleanest statement I've heard so far in favor of BIP110 my husband and I listened to the first chunk on Sunday and I remember thinking that he sounded really good 😞 it took me an embarrassingly long time to understand the word buzzkill in the intro oh shoot! I'm sorry to hear this 😢 I think he was on this past Sunday, right? to each his own, but I would be in trouble. There's not much overlap between what I like to eat and what vegans eat. A few berries maybe? a slice of tomato from the garden? https://blossom.primal.net/a2e6f599c9a52eac9307b3d986abfa6ca388ef2be845b5215569e2eee885095f.jpg GM, paranoid crypto anarchists! #nevent1q…lr32 hey 👋🏼 Beautiful place you have!! I thought he did say hoarding. Or maybe I read your note and just had that in mind? If you think of women feeling defensive and protective, it's not really a question of sharing. They see it as independence, as not having their financial life - and possibly the well being of their children -be at the whim of a man. It's him ascribing intention to women that rubs me the wrong way. "Hoarding" and "sharing" are not neutral words. Also there's something he glosses over but that's very real for many women: when it comes down to it, we are the ones who are physically responsible for the kids. There are some absent mothers out there but absent fathers outnumber them to a ridiculous degree. But - I do think the data is really interesting, and I think that many women (people in general, but especially women) are going down a questionable path. Questionable for them and bad for society as a whole. Yes 😍 Best thing I ever did, hands down. I've done a lot of things that I'm proud of (along with lots that I'm not, of course!) but my kids are without question the most important part of my life. embrace the constraint, folks @nprofile…ng7t often talks about how the hardest homestead to design would be on a flat featureless100 acre lot. We often complain about constraints, but they are the starting point for making something really special. #nevent1q…r5c0 Still thinking about this, and I watched the video. His interpretation is so antagonistic. Kind of the flip side of the people who say bs like "men provide for the families because it reinforces their power and the patriarchal structure." The data is interesting - and concerning - but his reading of intentions ("hoarding" vs "sharing") is questionable. yeah 😞 I grew up with my mom telling me to never be financially dependent on a man, and given some of the things she had seen that was solid advice. I think for many women there's an anxiety that they need to be able to take care of themselves, but it's a defensive position, not a creative one. That might extend to being able to manage as a single mother if necessary but somehow it doesn't extend to building a family. I'm not sure about hoarding, but I heard something similar recently that rings true to me: when men get a good job, they start a family when women get a good job they tend to stay single. beautiful garden beds 🤩 good luck on the land search! 😂 I never thought of that https://blossom.primal.net/80ed2eef0fb48d5d38134f5d2dddd2f8093df1b4d73e191a8b7405aa88db8cc0.png Yes, that's one of the things he covers in the video They're making fun of the Italian narratives about how bombing = civilization? "we've decided not to limit VPNs today" the arrogance 🤯 thank you! it's definitely on my end Yes, exactly! it's clearly a genuine issue that needs to be resolved What's not clear to me is that this is the best resolution Core30 sounds problematic to me, and the fact that there's at least one person on there who literally doesn't own bitcoin makes it clear to me that something is very wrong. I just hear more about that - overwhelmingly more - than I do about the viability of Bip110 Right now it sounds like arguments to vote for party X because party Y is so terrible, rather than clear conversations about the changes and the possible second and third order effects. I understand very little about the technology behind BP110, but I do understand logic. Most pro-soft fork arguments seem to be solely focused on how bad Core is. Core having made terrible decisions and/or being compromised does not mean that BIP110 is a good solution. thanks! I was using Alby and then never connected another wallet. Really dumb, I know - i really enjoyed zapping people. It's on my list Yes, it's definitely possible The last time my father said that we needed to get rid of the electoral college because "it's not democratic" I suggested he review his civics lessons (from high school? not sure when he might have covered civics in school) 🤦♀️ Hi! welcome to Nostr 💜 Just search for things you're interested in and go from there. You get to build your own algorithm on here, which is very cool, but sometimes if you don't follow enough people it feels slow (and lacks the in-your-face drama of the algos that most of us are used to). You can always prune your follow list later, but I would follow lots of people now just to get a feel for some of the conversations. Yeah, very interesting 😬 Not too long ago I would have thought that this was all good news, but I suspect it's just going to go even further in a direction that most of us won't like. Do you listen to Simon Dixon? ooof, Ben, this is rough I'm sure you're familiar with the various permaculture ways of improving the capture of precipitation (and snow melt) on the land? It's not a vineyard, but Takota Coen's farm is really inspiring. @nprofile…hl9c how did it go? #nevent1q…h7ar not easy, but the best thing ever 🥰 Congratulations When we were ready to move out of the city, we seriously considered NH. It's looking to be a good example of how a small group of determined people can actually make a difference in their local govt. Congratulations, NH 🤩 #freestateproject The assumptions were something like: if we yell loudly enough, you won't experience your natural human reaction to seeing something absurd. oh 😔 yes, it happens - but it still sucks it can be matched and surpassed with homeschooling you might be surprised what can happen in a vibrant homeschooling community of course parents think of the socialization I cool community is so important, and humans have historically just had it as default. Until recently, we were almost always born into our life-long network. Ironically I think the need for community is less obvious when you're happy with your mate. I generally feel so connected - to my husband and my immediate family - that I have to remember to reach out socially. I would start by finding one other person/couple/family nearby whose values align with yours and build from there. One thing we've found: it's been more important to us to build connections with neighbors than to agree with all of them. Although we do, thankfully, have some folks close by that share our values, most of our immediate neighbors don't. One of our closest neighbors is a "but what about the roads" person; we rarely talk about govt or politics, but there's a lot of other overlap and we adore her. Another couple is maybe more aligned with us on some socio-political issues but they spray Round-up freely (upstream from us, fortunately) and tease us for raising chickens and being "nature lovers." I could go on, but there's a wonderful we-have-each-others' backs feeling to it despite all the differences. Some thoughts on the glyphosate SCOTUS decision (and Trump EO) from the the libertarian lunatic farmer Joel Salatin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eye6J2-H17g I think that's 2.0 - that the companies can read messages directly on your device. (Not positive about this, though) good morning! love the photos 😊 what did Curious George do? I was wondering the same thing. Maybe a joke since it's not actually anyone else's property? We pay for them, we can take them down that's a totally normal thing to do to someone giving an interview... yes! we're growing hybrid poplar and mulberry as fodder trees too, and experimenting with a ton of others - but the animals particularly love willow Moringa sounds amazing and probably works in your climate. Do you grow that as a fodder tree? right?! plants are amazing I'm in love with willows in particular right now. The goats and rabbits think willow is the most delicious thing ever; it propagates easily and thrives with pretty much no attention once it roots; we're planning to use it to build a living fence for our chicken run. and it's so beautiful 💕 We planted this willow 4 years ago, and cut it all the way to the ground early this spring. It's 10 feet tall https://blossom.primal.net/0c6874d2ce17cd85d8d8d889673f93468b74cd5c845d88dbb5c9e91624363113.jpg "I believe that the primary hypothesis is" is not the same as trusting it I think this might be a language issue, actually. The phrase I used is simply to share a hypothesis in answer your question; it doesn't mean "I believe in this hypothesis." It's true- I mistrust that source, since I've heard of them before and know something about their funding. I think their primary purpose is to offer talking points to people talking with vaccine skeptics. In any case notice that they offer another hypothesis - a reasonable one, actually - but no data to back up that hypothesis. So we have 3 hypothess for why deaths attributed to measles have dropped 1) it's the vaccines (if the CDC numbers I shared mean that this is not a viable hypothesis) 2) it's improved treatment 3) there are general improvements in public sanitation I would also add 4) we don't have consistent ways to diagnose measles over the years, so it's really hard to get clear numbers on any of this. We're kind of going in circles on this. We seem to agree that the burden of proof is on each person to decide about taking an injection, so I'm still curious: what research did you do before taking the covid vaccine? (if in fact you took it -maybe you didn't). Please be accurate: I did not defend a theory. I said that "I believe the primary hypothesis is." The source you cite does not give evidence and from what I can tell is a front for pharma. This is what I found on it from a cursory search - While VFV itself claims donation-based funding, its parent organization—The Task Force for Global Health—receives major funding from government agencies (including the CDC), foundations (such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), and pharmaceutical companies (including Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, and GSK). The Task Force serves as VFV's fiscal agent, processing donations and managing payroll. So, VFV presents itself as a grassroots, donor-funded project, but it sits within a larger organization that has significant institutional and corporate backing. oh, sorry - I didn't see you asking for the source. It's referenced on the chart itself. But that's a great question - what explains the death rate drop since it started dropping before the vaccine was introduced? And that pre-vaccine drop in deaths seems to be true for a lot of illnesses. I believe that the primary hypothesis is that the drop in deaths from infectious disease is from improvement in basic sanitation - cleaner water and air, basically. You'd have to line up the dates in all similar charts and look at the timing of sanitation services. So I showed you charts that indicate that the deaths from measles were dropping precipitously before the vaccine was introduced. Does that change your perspective? Ripple (XRP) is the name of a shitcoin The Bill Gates question was brought up by someone whose post I can't see and you've referenced it several times. But there are some very interesting facts about WHO and corporate influence that you could look into if you are curious. Incentives make it clear that you need to actually examine evidence rather than believe narrative presented by the media. We all make our own choices. My only criticism is that you talk about evidence and mock others for what you assume is lack of evidence but you don't actually seem to use it for your own decisions. Or perhaps you mistake newspaper articles and pharma framing for evidence? oh dear Thank you There's a small subset of people who were suspicious of the injections but believed all the fear-mongering around covid. Interesting In a system that allows companies to make massive profits with no accountability you have poor incentives. There is not conspiracy theorizing in that, nor in the WHO/Gates connection. It's verifiable data and you don't need to look at probability. You reference "people who have oversimplified theories." But you just had a long exchange on facts and logic with someone who has made different choices on vaccines than you, and in the end you bring up conspiracy theories.
