The "Democrats would rather lose" theory really rains on your parade.
Apologies for AI summary, I couldn't find my favorite real human explanation.
The donor class overlaps. Democratic Party leadership and their biggest donors (Wall Street, corporate executives, defense contractors, private equity) often benefit from the same policies Republicans enact — tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, endless wars, weak labor laws. 2
If Democrats actually won big and enacted the popular progressive platform they campaign on (Medicare for All, $15 minimum wage, taxing the rich, etc.), it would directly hurt the financial interests of their own donor class. 3
So they self-sabotage. The party puts forward weak candidates, runs milquetoast centrist campaigns, and makes unpopular tactical decisions — ensuring they stay just competitive enough to raise money and exist, but not so successful that they'd actually have to deliver on real change.
The blame-shifting mechanism. When they lose, they blame Republican obstruction, gerrymandering, the Electoral College, voter suppression, or the media. When they win narrow majorities, they use the filibuster or "moderates in their own party" as excuses for why they can't pass anything transformative.
I wonder if Alby is still having an outage.
Depends on what the terms were but in most cases there’s a 4 year vesting schedule and a 180 day post IPO lock-up period. When they do cash out they’ll all probably end up pretty wealthy, but they will have lost a lot of paper gains.
oh! i figured the big new feature was the keyed download!
maybe it's... a shared drive mediated by WoT?
If voting changed anything they would make it illegal.
Anyone know why my zaps aren't coming into my minibits wallet?I've temporarily made my alby wallet my zap adress again but my @nprofile…d4vz app wallet is no longer showing incoming zaps for anxouple of days though nostr is indicating people were zapping my notes

The mini-PC merely needs software done. With any luck flirc will mean I can use my same remote.
I can do all myself but I do need a high WAF for the finished product. So it begins.
best post you’ve ever made

For those that failed polisci, that's called fascism.
Spreading the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve keys across dozens of retired bank vaults in the Great Plains seems aligned with national security interests. Same playbook as ammo manufacturing in WW2 or the nuclear triad ever since.
Unless fiat inertia keep us locked on the current third world enshitification path, which seems more likely.
I wonder how much this plays into the ghost jobs narrative. The job is real but the managers running the hiring are too cheap or incompetent to hire someone.
I once had an interview where the hiring manager aggressively and repeatedly told me I was unqualified for the job. They refused to talk about anything I'd done in the last 10 years and just kept asking questions about my first 2 jobs on my resume, which probably shouldn't even be there it was so long ago. When I went bullet point by bullet point down the job description showing I was overqualified for every item on the description, they just said "yeah but you are unqualified for the job." I asked them to point to a single requirement I didn't meet and they said "education." I pointed out the job description listed no education requirements and I had a masters. They just got more hostile and ended the interview early.
I know some would say I should have walked out. It honestly was just a curiosity to me once I realized how they were acting. I haven't applied to another role at that company again and I can't see any reason I ever would.
@nprofile…9ekx is the best.

Not all of it, but enough that Id recommend it. Its pretty short too
Don't replace, just surround.
Any time, though there is a fixed reset time.
I've found some bugs for sure. I can't log in or post from the app, I just copy paste results into my normal client.
The Republican party is demographically doomed, with their base dying faster than they make new recruits. Election fraud is a pretext for them to begin tampering with election results. They know that jerrymandering will only get them so far and they need a backup plan for staying in power.
That plan sure as hell will never ever be serving the will of the broader American population. So, election tampering it is.

If fees are your primary concern you can just use @nprofile…uxkg where most transactions cost 2-4 sats and there’s no liquidity management.
what you give, is what you get. put good out in the world and watch it change for the better.
good night nostr 🫂
Wait, does this mean there are people on Nostr who are actually willing to spend their bitcoin on something?

Wow, thanks so much for that review! 🖖
I always confuse Kaku with Giorgio A. Tsoukalos who is definitely a quack. I class Kaku and Tyson as not quacks personally. Mostly quality though admittedly dumbed down, gotta make some concessions if you choose to try to speak to the masses. In a world with guys like Tsoukalos and Kruse, quack is a bit aggressive for Kaku and Tyson.

"What has surprised me most about Westerners is that they sacrifice their health to make money, and then spend that money trying to regain their health.
They think so much about the future that they forget to live in the present, to the extent that they end up living neither the present nor the future.
They live as if they were never going to die, and die as if they had never lived."
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama
