The price of a stamp is up 13.79% since I started mailing #bitcoin stickers a little over a year ago 🤯

But don't worry, there's no inflation!

🔥 First 21 to reply with their #OrangePillApp profile link gets 1k sats ⚡️

Elon is turning X into the WeChat of the West.

The EU is planning to roll our their CBDC.

All within the next year.

The time to push Lightning to its limits is now. nostr:note1zvp2aymnzsw5jy6yzql0x64qv0nctk3rx0vvrvjhz0ad6jv5jadspc98ud

How is it illegal to drive while holding a phone but it's legal to drive while your dog is climbing all over you rather than in the back seat?

Nostr posts should include block time in addition to local time.

This is all horrible. Inflation has been painful for the entire world these past few years. But that’s not the same thing as a recession. A recession means the economic activity is decreasing overall, which usually means lower employment levels. We are seeing the opposite of this. So we are not in a recession.

It's SAT-urday the 21st... you better have a LN address on your #orangepillapp account anon.

I made this chart primarily for my Canadian normie friends for sharing on legacy Social Media with the caption "It doesn't matter whether you blame Trudeau, Zuck, or both, you're being censored by not being allowed to share news. This censorship is not possible on Nostr."

But feel free to share regardless...

What did he do now? Or do you mean that in general?

It's important to note that at the end of the day Elon can go fuck himself.

He can drive his own surveillance prone plastic car and he can stick that neuralink up his own ass. Free superchargers in Israel. He's lost the plot.

I think it’s mostly a fallacy that product quality has been falling across the board. It’s been a common trope. Even when I was growing up in the 80s, my parents would say the old adage that “they don’t make things like they used to”. But this relies on an incredibly distorted false nostalgia.

How often does a television repairman come to your house and replace the vacuum tubes? When was the last time your radiator in your car exploded because you were running the air condition in hot weather? How often does the compressor in fridge break down, and refilled and re-pressurized with coolant? When was the last time you heard of a car needing its transmission to be rebuilt when it had less than 150,000 miles on the odometer?

These things were all common occurrences and were considered par for the course in the past. But people will swear up and down that all these things were built to much higher levels of quality in the past.

People’s common retort is to point out that a lot of these goods have a lot of “plastic” in them, instead of metal. As if, it’s always preferable to make everything out of metal than plastic. Metal is heavier. It bends. It conducts electricity (when maybe you don’t want it to). When it bends, it doesn’t bend back. But people will swear this is a hallmark of “quality”. Which I think is complete nonsense.

Anyways, I know you’re talking about food, here. And there is some reason to believe that fruits and vegetables have become somewhat less nutritious over time, as a result of nutrient-depletion in the soil from intense industrial farming. However, to attribute that to inflationary monetary policy, instead of the Green Revolution — which by the way, has almost completely eliminated famine from the entire planet, would be a very silly thing for people to argue.
