I fucking hate banks and the feeling is apparently mutual

Primal only ever shows me 30 posts and then the timeline jumps back to the last time I opened it, generally 24-72 hours. It routinely takes forever to refresh my feed and I generally force quit and restart to wake it up.
Left Amethyst because it was only showing me a subset of accounts followed at best and generally had terrible performance.
I've almost given up on nostr. I think the venn diagram of people who have the patience for nostr and those with the patience to manage lightning channels is a perfect circle.
Banning TikTok is the impulse of a petty impotent tyrant.
What clowns we are.
I can't be the only person who suspects that CW is at least one of the whales dumping old bitcoin. He threatened to do this at some point in the past iirc.
It's not a real bull market until Coinbase crumbles under completely predictable pressure.
Coinbase, you incompetent fuckwits are doing everything wrong. Bitcoin on the Liquid network is the way and you are retarded for ignoring it.
Thanks for pushing people back to open source and self-custody. Good luck with your shitcoin casino.
Obligatory meme

The goverenment is like the old woman who swallowed a fly and in 2020 she swallowed a horse.
How do you convince someone that a system is broken when it "just works" for them?
I seem to encounter this roadblock more and more...
Tiff was one of the first against the wall when the revolution came.
Also measuring the dice for uniformity. And understanding the code you use to process the result into a mnemonic. And making sure you don't store that result in the terminal history or the system clipboard. And meticulously detailing everything you did to minimize the invevitable fear that you screwed it up as the value in that wallet suddnely goes 10x. And and and...it's a maddening process.
The Curse was difficult for me to watch. I've never liked cringe humour and this is like cringe without the humour. Now that I have finished it though I may have to watch it again. There is some really profound depth to these characters.
The only reason I made it past the first episode was the haunting Alice Coltrane/Turiya in the end credits. Incredible, unique music.
In the comment of this post a journalist I respect has found the post antisemitic, I disagree, and I would like your opinion: https://newsie.social/@LALegault/111829941630940972
Criticism of Israel/Zionism is not criticism of Judaism. The pressure on Western leaders to support Israel absolutely or risk being labelled a Nazi is a very real and longstanding problem for Palestinians. Falsely equating Israel with Judaism is a core tactic of Zionists everywhere.
You may find however that many who would agree with your point (and perhaps mine) are proud anti-semites.
Lots of Canadians are deeply frustrated with existing payment/banking systems and would benefit greatly from embracing bitcoin but even basic KYC freaks them out. KYC for BTC tends to be extraordinary and makes people feel like they're being conned. There must be a better way.
City living is best once you learn the tricks. Secret routes around traffic, free parking, undiscovered spots that are still underpriced. Master the secrets of the city. Never make eye contact with street people. Don't look or act like a tourist--eyes down, always running late for an important meeting. Trains yes buses no.

Running knots.
