my wife is gonna kill me for posting this. 🤷

i set up a heavy duty carport tent back by the trees, built a floor for it, and turned it into a small gym.

my wife was out there in a rain storm, with a lantern, no shirt, doing intense kick boxing.

im telling you, she is hard core. 😆💪

I just witnessed a cat jump up and over a six-foot fence, which is at least six times it's height, in three seconds! That's like a super power! 😲

Today it became clear to me why Nostr will never gain widespread adoption. It will never be as big as X or Insta. Why? It’s too complicated; its concepts are too specialized. This isn’t just about the UI/UX. Sure, that could be improved, but the technology and the overall concept are simply too advanced for most people.

Most people are straightforward; they want to be guided by the hand and receive a lot of reward (i.e., endorphins) for little effort. Nostr doesn’t offer that. First, the reward here isn’t an immediate endorphin rush; you have to work for it over time. Most people lack the patience and determination required for that. Second, the whole concept of decentralization, key pairs, and rewards in Sats is just not easy to understand. The gap between ease and rewards is too big for about 80%-90% of population.

That’s why Nostr will always remain a niche. Just like weblogs and Tor. It will have its fixed place, but it will never be truly popular or widely adopted. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. That's Darwinism, survival of the fittest, elitism, top 10% stuff.

> Hurt Russia by stoking anti-Russian feelings in Ukraine and goading Russia into a war.

very strange reason, anti-russian feelings in ukraine exists for hundred years, just because ukraine trying for hundred years to create their own state but russia suppresses all atempts.

> goading russia - so russians are so stupid that they don't see it?

Pretty much every claim that says “you could run your own… x y z” or “you can spin up your own …” is total nonsense. This is not how people use anything. Only the highly technical devs might do that but your average person will not fork any app or code base or run their own instance of any server .. on localhost 🤣 c’mon… get real.

Either it’s so easy everyone can do it, or it’s centralized.

Nostr has a lot going for it where a client dying off is not a big deal if other good client options exist. Can’t say the same for other protocols. But, we need multiple client options on multiple platforms at all times.

That's it. I'm out.

It's sus to me how cheap vpns are

Looking at my own costs for hosting and bandwidth, seems like they would lose a lot of money

I suspect they are selling data tbh

I still don't understand why Signal need my phone number if they integrated usernames?

- Is Ukraine a member of NATO?

- "we just used Minsk to buy time to arm Ukraine" - why then after two month of invasion Ukraine run out of artillery shells and why Ukraine still need weapons?

- "coup by the west in Ukraine in 2014" - If it was coup by the west - what was the reason for that?

**Argument:**

Abortion should be legalized to protect those who are going to get abortions anyway from the harmful effects of "back alley" procedures.

**Examination of the argument:**

[*Legally proscribed action*] should be legalized to protect those who are going to [*break the law*] from [*the consequences*] of [*breaking the law*].

* Example 1 - [Murder] should be legalized to protect those who are going to [murder people anyway] from [the consequences] of [murdering someone].

* Example 2 - [Drunk driving] should be legalized to protect those who are going to [drink and drive anyway] from [the consequences] of [driving while drunk].

* Example 3 - [Theft] should be legalized to protect those who are going to [steal anyway] from [the consequences] of [stealing things].

As you can see, this argument has no merit in and of itself. It also assumes that the baby being aborted is not a person. If the baby is a person, then using the term "abortion" is just whitewashing the actual action of murder by calling it something else (refer back to Ex#1).

I personally think that there should definitely be consequences for unjustly taking someone else's life. I also believe that life begins at the moment of conception. Consequently, I have little sympathy for someone who is harmed in some way while committing or being an accessory to the commission of the crime of murdering babies.

Call abortion what it is:  Murder.

These days, the question is framed in a way that avoids the real issue.

When does life begin?

This IS something that can be decided at the national level. If there is any doubt, then you should error on the side of protecting life instead of lifestyle.

An unborn baby is a human.

Period.

Full stop.

So,  when is it OK to kill an innocent human?  This is the question that needs to be asked...

My personal view is that life begins at conception. This means no elective abortion ever.  If a medical emergency occurs and a choice of saving the mother or the baby must be made, then that is a different question.

Wonderful are Your works,

My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all written

The days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was not one of them. "

I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech."

So damn inspired by Joe Rogan, man

I don't care what you think about him or any of his guests (I surely have my disagreements with him and lots of the people he brings on)... it's truly remarkable how much he's changing the world with his content
