@npub1k0h…xygc I look through John and notice all the times "the Jews" are mentioned, the vast majority (but not all) are negative, and wonder why it's bad for us in modern times to likewise say "the Jews."

@npub12h8…mz5h I just wish someone could explain to me, in a simple way that makes sense to both me and the older generation:
Who are The Jews™?
Because I think the answer would clear a lot of things up. Maybe that's why we're not allowed to have it.

2023-08-08 22:34:09 UTC

Apparently I am "not a Christian" because I question events of WWII and notice trends among what we know as "the Jewish race" (it's okay to question 9/11 and notice trends of blacks, but Jews are God's chosen people and Jesus is a Jew and I'll be judged by him someday and so badmouthing Jews is off-limits).

@npub1wh3…0yvx I used to think "moon landing deniers" were insane but then learned about all the strange events surrounding the Apollo program at the time and afterward. NASA "accidentally" recorded over all the original moon tapes (humanity's greatest achievement...Whoops!), the telemetry data has STILL never been released, Neil Armstrong's sole public appearance with his weird "truth's protective layers" quote, the high-level NASA resignations before the first Apollo mission, not to mention the myriad issues and inconsistencies with the images and video and so much more. There's just a lot wrong with the whole thing.
If they both staged it and went, they why would they release the staged footage if they actually made it to the moon?

2023-08-08 03:23:46 UTC

The only reason "flat earth" came about is because people were starting to learn about how the moon landing was fake, and an even crazier-sounding concept needed to be attached to everything space-related before the masses started believing that, indeed, the Apollo program was mostly a Hollywood production.
Yes, the earth is round, yes the moon is real, no, we didn't go there in the 60s.

@npub17f8…s2el If you want to be happier, do the following every morning right when you wake up for at least 21 days:
Physically write down (no typing, no mumbling, no “thinking in your head”) three good things that happened the day before.
Negative things that didn’t happen (e.g. “I didn’t trip and fall”) don’t count.
Try to avoid repeats from the previous morning, but if that’s all you can muster, go with it.
Any stupid little thing counts. Had a good conversation with a cashier? The lights were mostly green on the way to work? The toilet at whatever restaurant/coffee shop was clean? Write it down.
The purpose is to get your mind into the habit of purposely scanning the past to look for the good.
Do it for at least three weeks and it permanently (or least, for a very long time, like years) modifies your brain to be noticeably more positive.
Also a strong faith in Jesus and his righteous fury when he comes to vanquish evil once and for all, but that’s another thing entirely.

@npub1lar…q5vr @npub1srh…8g90 @npub1egm…v30y I want to like it so badly, maybe that's why I can't give up on it, but every time I look it's just a very "empty" place. All anyone wants is follower count so they get more exposure and more zaps.
It feels like zaps--fractions of a cent--are the sole motivation there to write thoughtful posts. Nobody writes to actually discuss...They just blast out some message and look at all the fractions of a cent they earned for it. No personal connection, no thoughtful back and forth (unless it's circlejerking over how smart everyone is for buying bitcoin), nothing.
All the "positive vibes" are a meaningless veneer in front of the underlying greed and soulless worship of money.
Call them out on it, and their solution is to post generic pictures of some camping trip before going right back to screeching about bitcoin saving the world.

@npub1egm…v30y @npub1srh…8g90 The frontpage (global feed, latest posts, equivalent to TWKN) of nostr right now

@npub1zxx…u452 Looks like it was quick and painless aside from the usual dependency garbage, one of these days I'll containerize it as it should be

Crucible World is going down for an update, might never come back, we'll see (no I'm not backing anything up lol)

@npub1hg5…tya9 @npub16h4…xymy Funny, I didn't get this notification on Primal but I happened to see it over on fedi.
And nah, I'm passionate but not upset. If I get just one person to realize they're on the path to worshiping money (albeit in a different form) and that they should reconsider whether it's worth their mental energy, then it was a success.
Alas, critical thinkers on nostr are few and far between.

@npub1x0r…shtn @npub1xnf…lpr5 People are addicted to follow count and don't even care to get to know anyone. They just see "number of likes and comments," not real people. This is another problem with Nostr...On fedi I feel like I'm actually getting a feel for people's personalities, but over on nostr it's just a big numbers game as everyone tries to be the most popular.

@npub109x…wvvl @npub1aw2…70dd Oh, I thought that's what everyone did already, making the "follow your heart" thing awkward.

@npub109x…wvvl @npub1aw2…70dd "Follow your heart" people just make everything really awkward for everyone else.

Four possibilities about an afterlife (that is affected by the actions/beliefs in this life):
You don’t believe, and you are correct
You don’t believe, and you are incorrect
You do believe, and you are correct
You do believe, and you are incorrect
From a pragmatic, r/agnostic-tier standpoint, each of these has the same probability of being the case.
Options 1) and 4) lead to the same thing–the eternal nothingness that atheist/nihilist faggots really, really seem to hope is the case for some reason. So if there’s no afterlife, then whether you believe or not, it doesn’t matter–into the void you go, and on the infinite timescale, it’s like you never even existed and nothing you thought or did mattered.
However, option 2) has far worse implications and option 3) has far better implications than the others, and this is where it gets interesting. If you obstinately choose not to believe, and you live your life accordingly, then you’re in big trouble–condemnation awaits. Likewise, if you choose to believe (and live accordingly), then you are rewarded and can enjoy eternal life, something we can’t really comprehend in this mortal form.
So to boil it down, you can either believe and have a 50/50 of nothingness or eternal life, or you can not believe and have a 50/50 of nothingness or eternal condemnation.
Of course, it’s really not that simple when it comes down to it. In the end, this life is a test of the soul, and God decides what to do with each individual afterward. (Or maybe it’s just a fairytale, but is that risk really worth taking?)

Well, I own a domain and I "verify identity" of people you hate. I do it on purpose because it makes you mad and I'm a big meanie troll doodoohead.
The people I verify just so happen to like talking to each other. They're a community. Maybe they talk out-of-band on Matrix or Discord or whatever.
Lots of people hate that community because they and the one who "verifies" them are a bunch of booger eaters. So what's the obvious solution? Let a person block the entire domain--any pubkey verified by that domain doesn't show up anymore.
Or maybe I'm just a spammer who wants to break through everyone's clients by "verifying" my many spam accounts (so many that nobody can hope to manually report them all). I buy my own cheap domain name and use it to get a fancy little checkmark or whatever clients decide to show, and then spam away. The obvious solution? Don't trust that domain to verify pubkeys.
This sort of thing is going to become commonplace.
"Verification" works when you trust the verifiers. Right now Nostr has mostly good (albeit very boring) actors and verifiers, but that is going to change if momentum picks up.
