Make a little demonstration wallet, show him the ropes in Sparrow, show him coin-joining, and if any doubt remains then show him the absurdity of the math for either encryption or the outputs of a coin-join.
This motherfucker really said this shit

That's the fastest I've ever gone from not knowing anything about someone to hating their guts.
Dang. I want to build one. Reminds me of Luke's home in Star Wars IV. I'd try replicating that courtyard they have dug into the ground.
A few years ago. Maybe 2018 ish? The ads model was never sustainable. But I support it. People addicted to events deserve the cost.
Horrible city. Probably the horriblest of all.
Hopefully he's a devout Muslim. That city badly needs some standards.
Come to think of it, I did hear an NPC say something about Somalis the other day... But idk what's going on, and I'm happy with that.
AIs successfully reproduce conversation with an imbecile, which means they undo 90% of all effort it in my life, which is directed at avoiding imbeciles.
The AIs are psychopaths. If general sentient AI is ever developed, it better not be based on these things
Good dating advice
Yes. They make more assumptions now. They're over-trained, and over guard-railed. They also refuse to be corrected now. I was using it to check my Chinese, and it made assumptions and answered wrong, and I corrected both its answer and its assumptions, and it just repeated its garbage. This kind of thing is happening more now than before.
Same. Slow and steady is the way.
I'll have to make a new years resolution to start better new years resolutions.
The solution most will choose is compliance
Its a password manager. A damn good one, too.
😂
welcome, learn fast, at least faster than that 😂😂😂
AIs have gotten noticeably less useful in the short time they've been here.

Idk... Is that a nostr thing?
Someone tell me if this could work :
Hash videos and audio files of important events or speeches or lectures, be a bit of a spammer and put those hashes into a block, and then future people can reference those to see if a recording is legit. Assuming the first copy was legit, of course.
Here's the problem : I looooove listening to old lectures. Lately, I've been catching these recordings actually being AI fakes. Richard Feynman and Alan Watts are both being faked a lot right now. Its their voice - but I never heard that lecture, and its doing the "this not that" thing a lot... They're fake. We're not going to have any history if this continues. The fake stuff will drown out the real stuff.
I brush in the evening. Fluoride is poison - that's why it works - but I'm not putting it in my mouth twice a day.
And my teeth are strong and white, tyvm. Breath is fine, too.
I have something similar. Not as good looking as that, but a total game changer.
Anyone who's still using those plastic coffee makers : you're giving yourself cancer. They also just suck.
Can I change my order? Beef jerky would be greeeeeaat right now
I'd have to meet them to tar and feather them. They have to know that disapproval of their community could have consequences. That's why local matters more.
I wish....
I wish there was some **_force_** which caused all nation states to disintegrate. Any state larger than a small city is an abomination and an insult to all human decency.
Airplanes don't exist. Its just a train made to look like what we imagine airplanes might look like, if they existed. Duh!
🤔 if your text doesn't cover the entire screen, are you even writing?
I'm starting to really like this Keonne guy.
Idk, I'm always hoping for another crash, so its hard to disentangle my hope from a serious prediction.
It doesn't make any sense. This BS system needs to hurry up and collapse.
Same deal as the soviet union - if a government is too involved in people's lives, people get sneaky, dishonesty is incentivized.
He did a great job with it
If only Europe had a Demosthenes to tell them that... Oh.
Pretty sure this is happening to anyone who's anyone
Mmm I see bean sprouts on the side. At least I think I do. I like those
We can't live like that. We have to demand real justice.
So, you know the Samourai case? Here's a thought... We basically made a deal with Trump - he gets Ross out, we vote for him. So basically Ross was a hostage, and we paid the criminals to let go of the hostage. So then they didn't have a hostage anymore... Maybe that's why they're putting the Samourai guys in jail. They're the new hostages. We told the criminals that we'd pay, so now they have a business plan.
Make sense?
You're choosing to be unreasonable. That's fine, I know you're usually reasonable.
You can listen to his lectures for free? He was the best guest on Breedlove's show
Nonsense. I don't want you to be gay, but I can't stop you.
He emoji'd me! I'm unblocked! Yay! Hey, I'm sorry. I understand you blocking me.
I think Toxic's got me blocked, but he's making a good point. Its all just a story. The story justifies power. Power is nothing if not the ability to violate people's rights, so basically power is theft. Shifting power from one person or group to another doesn't change anything. You gotta destroy the power itself. Ring into fire.
No one ever understands when I try telling them about China (in the US). China has an actual free market. You must see it to grasp how not-free America's market it. People there... Get this, this wild, man... People there **_start businesses._** In fact, everyone I knew there had a business, even if they had employment somewhere else. Everyone, not one exception. You can walk into actual businesses, little shops that have nothing to do with franchises or government. Shop after shop after shop... And a couple streets over, its factory after factory after factory. They're not uptight about you just walking into a factory and looking, either. Would that fly in the US? I doubt it, if you could even find one.
If you're in the US, look around and see how many businesses or friends are employed by the government, or who's employment would disappear if the government stopped paying somewhere in the chain. Even dog sitters would lose their income if the government stopped paying the business the dog owner is employed at. Small businesses are forced to franchise - that's basically a business on top of a business that only exists to manage the layers of compliance and regulatory burden. Franchises don't exist in free markets. Got some economic reason to disagree? GFY, I know my econ. The whole facade of "free market" in the US is more entry barrier than market.
The town I'm in is "growing" - there's "progress" here, as the boomers call it. That's only for one reason - there's a university with several tens of thousands of kids there basically being employed by government policy to sit there and grow their debt. That's their job. Every year there's over ten thousand 18 year olds showing up who signed a thing that exchanges their productive potential for a giant pile of debt. That debt is the only reason there's roads being built here, after several layers of corruption where bureaucrats or companies that are paid by government take a cut. And after the road is built, all the businesses that appear are franchises. You know who they pay rent to? The university. The town is owned by the university, literally. And it takes one or two **_years_** to build anything here. Nothing takes that long in China. Nothing. Free markets are wild!
Oh but China's BAD!!! Orange man : "CHIIIINA!!" There is one reason for all this anti-china rhetoric and protectionism, and its not geopolitics or containment. Its debt. Not that China owns our debt - that's the usual thought stopper when I talk to "conservatives." Without inflation, our debt can't be serviced. The payments on American debt **_at all levels_** require inflation, or the payments stop. Even your mortgage and those kids' student debt. But especially the $37 trillion of federal debt. Inflation makes payments manageable because if everything costs more after the debt is taken, including wages, then its like you borrowed less. This is why it's smart to use debt - take as much as you can, cuz you're fucking the lender. That's the game. But that also means that anything that's deflationary is the enemy of America. China's gazillion factories are deflationary : that makes China the enemy. You buy cheap shit from China : debt doesn't get devalued as fast as the corrupt class would like. Even American factories are America's enemy. Anything, anywhere, that allows supply to meet demand and prices to not rise, is deflationary, and thus America's enemy. That's it. That's the whole story, from why you can't afford groceries up to why a carrier fleet parks in some other country's waters. The beast is driven by hunger ; the hunger of the beast is debt.
I **_wish_** I knew one person in real life who could understand this. Its not even particularly complicated... But people are too busy with their side gigs to think about stuff. I **_almost_** had a conversation about it with a biologist over Thanksgiving. Almost!!! But they thought I was too radical, like maybe I'm a Commy or something, **_because I wanted the government to do less._** lol. We're so fucked.
Rediscovering the inner child has been a theme for me recently. I think its probably the source of my resurgent interest in science. I adulted in college and emerged with an econ degree that doesn't really fit me. I've been regretting it ever since I graduated. And then the recent Thanksgiving dinners really messed me up. I'm still reeling from it. Its the extreme difference between me and how I was raised versus my cousins - they have a world full of love, but my world, and how I was raised, was/is completely **_completely_** devoid of love. I think I was raised by psychopaths. I can see how it damaged every moment of my life, and I don't know how to be like my cousins are. Thanksgiving just left me hating my life. I keep comparing.
Uhh. Probably shouldn't have said this stuff. Anyways. I don't really want to delete, either. Anyways.
