Kits, cats, bags, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?
I always use LTC for paying out bets when me and the boys play poker, low tx fees make it well-suited.
Just about to start poking and prodding a tiny relay implementation.
Already wrote enough to do http uploads and provide NIP-05 identities.
Then it will be time to dogfood.
How normalized are you gonna make em? If you are okay to stick to something like postgres as your back end, then you are able to just shove the JSON directly into json or jsonb fields. Pleroma does this for AP events. Postgres has extensive support for manipulating and querying the JSON objects that you shove into it.
Just depends what you are going for, really
You can be friends with bot
Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Go zap yourself in the dickhole, mother fucker âš¡âš¡
> people who weren't going to use Rebased anyway
You can just say trannies Alex, they already hate you. Akkoma is just shitty Pleroma for people who no longer have cocks.
Luv me women, but every one of em that isn't one I would voluntarily associate with is probably a danger to themselves and others.
Wish it weren't so, for so many cases.
Women and democracy don't mix, therefore:
- One vote per household.
- Disenfranchise the rentoids, bring back land ownership requirements to vote.

The most powerful influences are unconscious in a way, as they can be known without being articulated. Articulation is powerful for self-improvement, but many concepts have been passed down that are not articulated, they are trained and imitated, culturally or otherwise.
I say this to say that while I think, at times, that while my own agency may be so small that it may as well not be there, I also firmly believe that what I do matters much more than what I think about it.
A concept of agency is practicable by many without any understanding or even any belief of the term, much less a deep one. In practice there seems to be the capability for this to be enacted without a granular concept.
So, as long as I do the thing I would do, if I did believe in such a concept, or make a habit of doing so, that matters a lot more than what my idiot self believed in the first place.
A right pattern of thinking then, is not as important as a right pattern of action, which I may have acquired by my upbringing, exposure to cultural influences, or habit and routine. I believe that encoded in upbringing, in observation of cultural forces, are ingrained the sum of a chain of the habits and routines of our forbears, they are the shortcut from caveman to astrophysicist, so to speak, that each person need not re-invent the entire system from first principles within their own lifetime (a daunting task). We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and not just in the realm of math and science. While perhaps less formal and articulated, surely as much knowledge must be codified within them, or we would not have progressed as we had to this point.
I think all this falls underneath the maxim: do the right thing all the time, even when you don't know what that is.
That's how you game the statistics. All you have to do is be better than random, and many small, correct actions make that more favorable for you. IIRC the house edge on the odds of a lot of casino card games are not much better than 51 or so percent, but in the aggregate, we know, and can prove mathematically that the house always wins in the end. If we are small in this world then subdivision of actions into small, consistently right ones seems to work, even when our concept of why it was right is off or unknown.
The what beats the why, though the why is the edge by which we can sometimes discover the what at a faster rate than cultural aggregation.

Why should all food be saccharine? You need to eat a variety of foods, not just those that are sweet.
Conceptually, I think language is the same, and in this analogy, the food for thought. I don't think higher order thoughts can exist without language that is hurtful or uncomfortable. Vapid "normie" types feed on nothing but sweets. They are obese of thought, gluts for positive, happy language.
I've thought about this a lot lately in context of the nostr mainstream/bitcoin proto-influencers and the culture clash with edgy fedi users. I have been looking for a way to describe in a more academic sense why you should be able to not just say but to call someone a nigger, a cunt, a bitch, whore, slut, faggot etc. Unrestricted thought cannot exist without unrestricted language. I don't even think you need a lot, but rocking the verbal boat so to speak is necessary to disrupt the vapid patterns of thought. Toss people into the water once in a while, but pull them back in the boat once they learn their lesson.
Telling a depressed person to killthemselves: no different from what's going on inside their own heads; pointless, and rude; dishonorable.
Telling a normal person to kill themselves: a sharp rebuke, a prompt to reflect; honorable.
Bit of a meme response, but context matters (duh), and sharp, distasteful language has a specific, and vital purpose in encouraging others to improve themselves.
I don't think that anything good in life happens quickly. If something good appears to have happened all of the sudden, I always suspect that there is an obscured path, but a path nonetheless that is long and often grueling leading up to it. Even for more deus ex machina type events like dramatic acts of charity.
Ultimately we are small creatures whose best hope for success is small, stubborn steps in a positive direction, in defiance of setbacks, which are often large and devastating when they finally reach us.
The human mind is a powerful tool for rationalization in favor of itself, and so I think we all, unless by conscious thought or depressive tendency can be tempted to think in terms of, "if only."
Nothing against you personally, of course. You may be correct, surely you know yourself better than the disembodied voice of bobby hill in your head as you read. It could just be massive cope from someone for whom, while life has gone well, it has rarely been directly attributable to my intent, but always to my actions, though I did not know their consequence.
