This is what the birds want you to think. Well I'm not falling for it. I see them out there, chirping and scheming. Plotting. They think they're on to me, but I'm on to them.

Elizabeth Warren needs to fucking die.

"you'd need to patch the vulnerability" - I'm asking how. How would such a patch function? It's unclear to me how software can identify whether or not witness data contains spammy NFTs. I'm very confused about that.

I've had this thought as well, but wouldn't that make achieving consensus extremely difficult or impossible? I believe Peter Todd pointed this out to me. We can have multiple implementations of Lightning, I understand, but the base layer is different because everyone must agree on every transaction. And apparently fundamental limitations of computer science (inevitable bugs) make accidental forks from multiple implementations all but guaranteed.

But maybe that's all nonsense. I've no idea.

I understand (vaguely) the mechanism that enables ordinals/inscriptions. I'm asking how they can be stopped. I haven't heard anyone set forth how they can actually be stopped without a hard fork or other disastrous consequences. But perhaps I missed it.

That's interesting. I wonder if the framing of inscriptions/ordinals as a taproot issue is mistaken then

Would you describe inscriptions as a "bug" introduced by taproot? I.e., could we have gotten taproot without inscriptions? Or is it conceptually impossible to have one without the other?

Getting off of Lexapro doesn't feel great, but I can feel my ambition and drive surging

When I was a child, I thought it was really fucking weird my parents lied to me about Santa Claus. And then I was expected to keep the lie going by not telling the other kids too stupid to figure it out.

Like how tf is he supposed to visit every house on earth in one night?
