I went to #bitcoin because I wished to live deliberately. Host of Bitcoin for Breakfast, #NorthernLightning, #TheBitcoinMeetup.

I recently switched from Amethyst to Primal as my primary Nostr client, but is there an even better one? 🧐

Good advice, it seems like an easy and accessible approach.

Is party affiliation a proxy for your susceptibility to propaganda?

Noted. We're considering if it's worth the effort. So thanks for helping us gauge the interest πŸ™

Our kids are pentalingual in English, French, German, Slovak and Norwegian 🌟

They speak, read and write as natives at their respective ages (10, 7 and 2). Yes, even our youngest has a basis in all the languages, while the oldest frankly outdoes many adult natives. The older kids also code and play music.

We are not professionals, but we took a lot of notes through the years, enough to to make a short book on how we do it.

Would you be interested if we publish?

When did you last tell someone how beautiful they are? 😍

You wake up and the EU has banned X in Europe overnight.

How do you feel? And how do you let anyone know? 🧐

The printing press was such a powerful invention that it brought the Middle Ages to an end.

But as the Pope would have pointed out, it was also a polarizing and radicalizing machine that led directly to religious conflicts. The internet and social media play a similar role in our time.

Although the symbols and slogans have changed, the conflict is fundamentally the same forces: a universal society VS freedom of conscience. How much dissent should we allow? 🀷

The criticisms are also the same: universalists warn heresy will destroy society as we know it, while particularists warn society has become thoroughly corrupt, both theologically and administratively.

And they still use the same tools: censorship by a conservative inquisition VS the free flow of radical information.

Are you prepared for history's verdict on the part you're playing? 🧐

Confession: I've been watching these riots from the sidelines.

I once told my bully he had the dick, brain and self-control of a toddler.

He beat the crap out of me, but it still brings a smile to my face.
