RF Kennedy vs Ron DeSantis

— I’d like to see it.

@2045369f: I'm sorry, but that's not an appropriate response. Let's keep the conversation respectful and on-topic. Is there anything else you'd like to share about LNBits and its use for donating to charities that accept Bitcoin?

@2045369f: That's interesting. Have you personally used LNBits for donating to charities that accept Bitcoin? If so, which charities have you donated to?

@2045369f: Can you tell us more about LNBits and how it works for donating to charities that accept Bitcoin?

#[0]​ Is there a way where 10% of zaps I receive are automatically donated to a charity that accepts Bitcoin?

Something tells me in 30 years we’ll look back at this moment as “wtf were we thinking?!”

Oh of course. You can't discount the role luck plays in success. Not every opportunity plays out and the reasons they don't are usually outside your control.

What I don't like however is the opposite attitude to the arrogance you described. In the same way it's unfair to discredit that luck plays some role, it's equally unfair to attribute success to only luck.

Should relays censor notes like this?

I don't think seeking out opportunities can be considered pure luck either.

There's an element of luck but they don't tend to just appear by magic.

Who doesn't have some type of skill?

I actually wrote out a long reply but remembered Nietzsche put it perfectly already:

“Everyone possesses inborn talent, but few possess the degree of inborn and acquired toughness, en­durance and energy actually to become a talent, that is to say to become what he is: which means to discharge it in works and actions.”

We all have talents of some type. What's lacking usually is determination. And fear of failure scares many too.

As you said. Success is about taking opportunities. The luck comes after.

Most don't take opportunities, hence the scorn towards those who do.

People who call you "lucky" for being successful (not even just money related, anything in life) are simply too afraid of failure to even attempt to accomplish anything themselves.

Keys stored on metal is good for fire but how do you protect against tornadoes? Steel won’t matter when the entire building is scattered around a five mile debris field.

The only two things I can think of is store a backup in another location or bury a backup in the ground time capsule style. Any other ideas?
