Dang, that's a good one.

Creep Show 2 used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid. I remember being at a sleepover watching the swimming dock story. We were all on a bed on the ground, and no one would even hang their feet off the bed, we were so terrified.

Burn it. Burn it all to the ground.

Pushed out of the way is a good way to describe it. They do so by any dehumanising means necessary.

Even after the teens, it's the same.

Coming from an education in science, all you hear is "women in tech," women in STEM," free code camps for women.

Men are deprioritized, unfunded, unencouraged, and left behind. The psychological effect must be crippling, and I believe the data shows it.

A total failure to judge a policy by its outcome and not its intentions, and course correct.

P.S.

I might have made "unencouraged" up.

Haha. Every once and a while.

On a related note. Did all the e-girls come and go? I feel like there was a big influx and it got a little weird. Then, nothing in Global 🫣

Or, has Amethyst's filtering just gotten that good? Just good ol' wholesome, anti-establishment content for some time, now.

Looks like El Toro Loco put on a good show, as usual 🤙

Replace the man pretending to be a woman with a real woman, and you'd get your children taken by the state.

The psychological need to show conformity to the chosen narrative is evidence that the propodanda is strong.

Be glad you are more immune to it than others.

Things are moving so fast, now, and so much video is taken. In 10 years people will have a lot of explaining to do to their kids and everyone else in their lives.

Dang, all my time spent carefully selecting the perfect emojis...

75% is probably shakas, tbh 😅

Not gonna lie, eggs cooked in bacon fat I rendered myself is pretty baller.

I'm mainly a lurker, myself.

Making proclamations to the internet always seemed weird and I'm not a content creator.

I've had some good, meaningful discussions in the replies, though.

Absolutely.

I've wondered how Nostr will change if/when it scales. Will it still be a fun, ragtag group of nerdy, DIY misfits held together by their common values of anti-censorship and decentralization?

Or, will it feel more like X and be harder to connect with like-minded individuals in a sea of "normies"?

It seems like the higher barrier to entry of Nostr has had a bit of a gatekeeping effect. But, as small waves of people are forced out or flee other platforms, many will find Nostr in a search for an alternative. Hopefully, we can hold onto our heritage and Nostr will still be the place we enjoy.

Agreed. It's a totally different mindset. Real interaction instead of like and retweet transactions. I have to remind myself of it frequently. It's easy to fall into old habits.

I use Amethyst as a mobile client and I find the "Conversations" feed that shows replies usually more interesting than the "New Threads" feed that shows posts. You see a lot more back-and-forth conversations instead of one-sided proclamations. People just being real.
