Although not a question, this made me consider how am I viewing the world from a different perspective from the year before? If no change, me do the worries.

I have to ask, are you particular to smokey? I’m interested in knowing what people accept as the ‘best’ Scottish whisky.

Thank you for this. I grew up reading the (formative) Earthsea books without looking into her other works since, although I knew I had to revisit her works at some time. I will look into ‘The Dispossessed’ as a priority.

Nike. Just do it. With whisky. [insert swoosh]

Appreciated. Let me know when you come to Scotland, and I’ll join you for a dram or two.

I see what you mean, as you’re probably best to be optimistic because people usually want to do the right thing for the right reasons. It’s still early days here, and early days = the right reasons. Long may it last!

WTF?! Apologies, as your issues could be so easily sorted by locationisation. How can I help inebriate you?

Dude, are you Scottish?

‘Information’ is so multi-faceted. There is context and sub-context, acknowledged by the party in question. It’s a cypher. The party can see the message. The message is read but it can also be ‘understood’. I honestly believe that the people we ‘see’ are the people we ‘get’.

You speak the truth. Giving is literally ‘everything’. Giving is exchanging information. Information exchange runs both ways. Information is exchanged between both parties, often more than we appreciate.

With that said, the ability to see the value that others assign to notes via zaps just now feels like a double-edged sword. It’s such a novel idea, but I don’t know how this will play out. One day, I expect a ‘famous’ person to get a full coin from posting a single poo emoji. (I’ll probably be first in line to send some sats.)

I absolutely agree that direct value attribution to content is a game-changer. This is great from an open, altruistic view, where one can assign value to something to signify acknowledgement and appreciation. However, I do worry about the paywall mentality that may appear. Giving in appreciation of freely-provided content will hopefully win over the pay-in-advance model.

Thank you. I believe that this information was meant for me.

Darkening?

Isn’t that every Friday?

*is fixing by example (others are still figuring it out)

Alcoding? Alcoholding? Why not both?

Perfect.

Too right. I’m being a bit contrarian for the sake of it, although memories of my favourite scenes are based on a juxtaposition of visuals and context, sans dialogue.
