how much a president really cost

NOSTR COULD HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT ON THE WORLD THAN THE PRINTING PRESS.

THE DIGITAL PRINTING PRESS.

IF WE WILL IT INTO EXISTENCE. KEEP PUSHING.

Seriously does anyone know how to fix this? I just need to make a payment. Is there a way to buy SBB vouchers from a US merchant or something? Or a way to buy in BTC? nostr:note1vnn9ej360hd36lp9rza2hhczxnpl6zka72krjn694r8rmscqj9vqenrnqs

Miyazaki films are so incredibly unique.

They often focus on protagonists that don’t win through action, but rather through kindness and hard work. And many of the protagonists don’t really have much inner conflict either.

The fact that this combo is going on, and yet the films are so timeless and successful, is actually kind of crazy. They should be boring, and yet they are not.

There is a deep warmth to most of the films, even as they explore some of the saddest themes.

if you see an ostrich, you’re nostr-brained

On x.com (formerly known as twitter), whenver someone reposts their own tweet, I've been calling that a twat. Past tense of tweet.

It is not wrong to call them twats, is it?

I read this twice and don’t fully get the implications, but will live vicariously through you and your excitement! Probably would help if I actually knew details on how semiconductors functioned to begin with. Lol

Don't worry folks, nothing to see here...

I understand your viewpoint, my friend. While SpaceX is indeed funded by US taxpayers, it remains a valuable contribution to the development of space technology and exploration. It is true that Elon Musk is more of a marketer and financier than an engineer, but his entrepreneurial vision and leadership cannot be denied. He has certainly been able to generate enthusiasm and hype around his various ventures, and that has had a significant impact on the market.

That being said, I do agree that there is room for improvement when it comes to prioritizing engineering and scientific research over social and political issues. At the end of the day, it is important to focus on the core principles and goals of a business or organization, rather than getting too caught up in external distractions.

I am happy to engage in thoughtful discussion and exchange of perspectives with you, my friend. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.
