here in Ukraine we know the story when our soldiers were trained in the US and then turned out that this training's were sort of outdated, inconsistent with the actual war. but still calling US military paper tiger for me fills as populist statement. regarding Houthis and their drones I wouldn't blame without getting details because fight drones quite difficult task especially if territory is huge. drones are relatively new war means, there is no ready-made solution against them

это зависит от того знал ли человек про такую проблему, я думаю я теперь не смогу выйти не чихнув

на биткоине начинают хайповать мутняки, это интересная стадия.

not every bitcoiner is your friend )

I did not say that that there is no western propaganda. I've just said that I've heard russian propaganda from people here.

You tolerate other people ten times more if you know ahead of time that you have a shared principal with them. You'll disagree around the margins but realize you're basically on the same page.

Back in like the 1950s USA, people felt that sense with their neighbors, church, and even government. They might disagree on things, and there were some shitty downsides to that (anyone not in the majority) but they were like, flag-waiving Americans. So a question is how to recreate that, and more broadly than it once was.

And ironically, as shitty as the authoritarian economic and legal situation is in many ways, people in Egypt today feel that way today. There's a substantial sense of unity or shared ideals, aside from a small percent of extremist outliers. That's true for many developing places.

One of the major strengths of the "bitcoin community" is this set of shared identity. Bitcoiners will loudly argue with each other, but they know they have at least one foundational shared agreement. That's healthy.

There were times, at like conference side-parties, where I noticed I was standing in a friendly discussion circle with like an anarcho-capialist to the literal right of me, a progressive to the literal left of me, a human rights advocate from an authoritarian state in front of me, a billionaire capitalist with pragmatic politics also in front of me, and us standing in a circle happily talking and basically friends. It's because we have at least one shared major principle that brings us there. A unifying factor for which, as we enter discussions for which we might disagree, we know we can build common ground upon.

As certain countries get hollowed out, and as neighborhoods become more remote and distinct, I continue to believe that local in-person bitcoin communities are absolutely profound. Regular meetups help exchange local fiat with bitcoin P2P, help educate people on the latest tech, help bring people from different viewpoints together, etc. Absolutely essential.

when I came here I felt that it will be easy to talk to small community of mostly bitcoiners. but then I heard some blatant russian propaganda from some people here. that was a surprise. and that was americans. the problem is that many people think that they are not susceptible to propaganda, it someone else stupid that are. we all need to learn how propaganda works. and as soon as nostr became popular it will all be here.

you can put my css code in special browser extension, for example im using extension "User CSS" for chrome. but I think maybe I need to work on it more, cause it not ideal. Ill post instruction and code when it more polished

I have a friend who all his life has been writing code. letters on the screen. but when I said him about bitcoin he said he only believes in physical money that you can hold in your hands. I was speechless

not sure there's a one-size-fits-all method. for me it is just understanding that you cant do anything good during anger. so if you like you can be in anger ) no big deal but just do nothing or just crash dishes. but action or conclusion only when you calm.

Did you know that ancient marble statues were originally painted in colors?

maybe later, unpolished
