Where are these shootings happening? I try to keep up on gun control arguments but I've been preparing for a move and have been busy. Do you have any links I could check out during my breaks?
Who needs fictional comedy when you have a government to laugh at?
There is a growing chance Washington “will bumble into the first default in our nation’s history,” the Republican said.
The meme that goes around occasionally that says something like: "40 years ago the owners manual of a car explained how to adjust the values. Now, an owners manual tells you not to drink the coolant." It's funny, but it illustrates a point.
When I was a kid in the 80's and 90's, most people who owned a computer could do at least some limited things with the command line. What they, as individuals could do would vary, but they could do at least a little.
But, not a ton of people owned personal computers.
I don't know how are adoption of personal computers would have gone in the same time frame if they hadn't become easier to use.
N3XB: Naive Nostr No-KYC Exchange for Bitcoin
N3X (Naive Nostr No-KYC Exchange) is a layer 2 protocol inspired by, and runs on top of Nostr. The goal is to be a simple but extensible protocol to facilitate exchanges and marketplaces in an interoperable, censorship-resistant, privacy-aware, and decentralized manner. The initial example of N3X might be a Bitcoin <=> fiat decentralized exchange protocol, codenamed N3XB, but any type of marketplace or exchange should potentially be enabled with N3X.
I'm seeing a lot of boosts and that's great. Let's all chip in some sats too if we can. Don't break yourself, but let's help Derek a little if we can.

There's a fair amount of talk about anime profile pics. So, I will state for the record that:
A) my profile pic is an original work that was created by a friend as a cartoonization of me for a now an comic that she started to make. It's her representation of me as a cartoon.
B) I very much like some anime. I also like works out of most genre's. None of that defines me as a human being. While I think it's a mistake for anyone to base their personality off of any one thing, I also believe that it's a mistake to read too deeply into someone else's taste.
For example, I sometimes have a framed photograph of a pile of dog shit on display in home. Why? Well, that photograph was a running joke between a close friend of mine who was a professional photographer at one point in his life and my father who as an amateur photographer for most of his life. They are both now deceased. Sometimes, I sit that picture out to remind myself of the good times the three of us had together. Sometimes, I put the photo up because it makes me sad. But, if someone sees it they are free to ask why I have a framed photo of dog shit. They are also free to pass judgment on me without we've knowing why I have it. It's really up to them. If they ask I will tell them stories of two brilliant and hilarious people. If they pass silent judgement, they'll never know anything about these people and it will be their loss, not mine.
Snap decision making without context can be incredibly bad uses of heuristics. I'll concede, it can be necessary at times. But, in my experience, it often just leads to wasted time arguing from a place of intentional ignorance or opportunities missed while attempting broad generalizations in classifying human beings.
If people didn't talk with authority about things they know nothing about, there really wouldn't be much by way of network or cable news shows.
He's a journalist who actually attempts journalism instead of simply repeating talking points.
Everything is political to someone. Have you ever listened to old ladies arguing about recipes? It gets as intense as a gun control debate.
I don't know if you're in the minority, but you aren't alone in the want.

My Twitter account is used for the same thing it was always used for: finding news that I wouldn't find otherwise or, at least, not as quickly.
I only posted on Twitter a couple of times. I seldom read threads on anyone's posts.
But, hey, that's how I found Nostr where I actually engage with people.
I carry everywhere I go. However, it's always concealed and always will be unless I'm at the range or in a situation in which everyone is carrying. For me, it's not about the right to carry, the right to self defense is not something question. It's about tactics.
I believe that in most situations, showing my weapon is a bad idea. It tells any potential threat that I am a potiental threat to them and puts me at a disadvantage.
Now, all of that being said, I get your point. I would love to see firearms as normalized in other parts of the US as they are where I live. I mean, here is safe to assume girls in bikinis are carrying micro 9s.
I have no chronic illnesses so I won't be involved. And, as much as I love bitcoin, nostr can be way more than a wonderful bitcoin echo chamber and it should be.
