You Americans have big cars and big houses but it is not because you are harder working than the rest of the world or smarter.

It is because you have the world's reserve currency and you export inflation to the rest of the world, you finance yourselves at the expense of the rest of the countries, imposing your currency through the coercive force of your gigantic army.

Ask yourself why the US has military bases all over the world.

Bitcoin if it would solve this, we are going to compete as equals.

Christians,

Help me out here.

How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ?

In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he exists to me more as a vague concept.

Any advice?

I have failed.

My kid wants to be a YouTuber 🤦‍♂️

I think people on the left want to feel like they are fighting for something, but they will only fight for issues once they are basically solved because they are mostly cowards. Race & homosexuality aren't actually serious issues anymore which means the most cowardly can feel safe acting like they are fighting some grand evil that they have simply imagined. And in so doing their irrationality & their effort to find or create some pushback to confirm the belief that there is actually a struggle, causes them to behave in ways that are horrible & ultimately foster a deeply unhealthy culture, which then becomes associated with all the things they claim to defend, granting legitimate reasons to oppose anyone associated with any of it. I think the "progressive" left is more destructive to gay people than any group of bigots could ever hope to be.

How come #Primal is so slow updating my feed and showing my notifications? I have at least 2 or 3 minutes for the feed to refresh. Not sure if its just me or is it system wide for all who are using the app on Android ?

A psyop that gets perpetuated on young guys.

1. You gotta fuck a bunch of ho’s.

2. Don’t settle down until you’re 35-40 and you’ve got it out of your system.

The group of successful guys I know with a lot of kids and a good marriage met their wife relatively young. Late teens - early twenties and then were married by 26/27 and had kids before they were 30.

The other group of guys I know who played the field and settled down late tend to have more drama / divorce less kids on average and generally seem less happy.

I’m seriously considering just pausing my lunchtime so I can buy sats then starting it back in a few months… how foolish is that? #Bitcoin

Whoever is doing ReplyGuy. GFY! You proved your point. Go find a fix to the problem you created.

#Pollstr PA going REP is a blow to DEM

It's been speculated that ReplyGuy is a dev or other non-malicious actor attempting to force nostr to harden and become stronger.

Whether this hypothesis is right or not, regardless, most of the attempts to deal with the spam are using techniques from fiat/centralized social media. Filtering, blocking, and so on.

None of this is going to work, at least in the long term. The incentives need to be correct. ReplyGuy can essentially create unlimited npubs to send the spam from and it's a huge game of whack-a-mole. Even if the relays all manage to block the replies, new relays will be made that also have to block in the future.

What if sending a note or reply costs 1 sat? A user can still filter those replies, but receiving one sat each time the spam is sent imposes a cost. Let's see how long ReplyGuy can stay liquid when there's a real-world cost to spamming the network.

Or perhaps there's another approach?

Also, I'm starting to believe the earth is a round ball floating in the enormous void of space
