but you support immigration ...

what if i told you that it isn't highway widening that is inducing the demand that is causing traffic

what if i told you that it is building new housing that is inducing the demand causing traffic

do you know what the real solution to housing crisis is ?

stopping illegal immigration. we are building enough homes as it is. the problem is we have more illegals coming in than we are building homes.

50 years ago California was 95% white. today just 28% of births in California go to whites, and 48% to Mexicans. when you have that rate of immigration you can build as much as you want and the prices of housing will never go down - you're just going to get more and more traffic consisting of cars circling blocks looking for parking just like it already is in NYC and why i had to leave NYC.

in science you are supposed to TEST theories.

if you have bothered testing your theory would have found it doesn't match the data.

in effect your theory is that increasing housing density ( by using all available land ) will lower housing costs yet the data is crystal clear that the exact opposite is the case. housing cost always increases with density. never decreases.

listening to your lying ass professor is not a substitute for having a working brain sonny boy.

you can tell me to "think man" when you're top 1% IQ like me.

wow you are so smart !

now explain to me why cities with the most expensive housing like San Francisco also have the least parking ...

and vice versa.

in fact America has the most affordable housing on earth in terms of square footage versus average income.

it also has the most parking one earth.

riddle me that ...

Nostr feels like it's in a catch 22 right now. Nostr needs good content, but creating good content needs incentive. Will nostr have a "gradually then suddenly" moment, where all of a sudden it's the place to be and there's this massive influx of users and content? Or will it be slow and steady growth? Or will it simply remain niche among the techie crowd that likes to tinker (the "Linux of social media" as I saw someone aptly describe it yesterday)? Incentives like zaps can scale with enough users. But putting in the massive amount of time needed to build a reputation and repertoire of material is exhausting if there's no eventual growth and return in sight. Unless you're simply doing it out of boredom or have nothing better to do with your time, I guess. We can only say "we are early" for so long before we will have to accept that it's too late for Nostr if it continues at the rate it's going.

IQ shows the distribution across a particular population, so the median is also the mean (average).

Consider how stupid the average person is.

Average as being defined by having an IQ score of 100.

Picture yourself having a conversation about a complex topic with a 100 IQ person, painful right?

Now consider the fact that half of the population are even dumber than that.

I am convinced you're mostly right and the sausage machine is set to autopilot most of the time. I mean just look at all those Hallmark romance films and their knock-offs on other networks... You can find like 4 new ones a day nowadays, just change the job title and actors, poof, whole new movie with little to no re-writes.

But there are still good filmmakers out there with original ideas, just once in a blue moon. Even in major properties like the Star Wars franchise there are rare gems to be found... Those Sequels were trash but did you see 2016's Rogue One? I literally judge that to be the best movie of the entire franchise, even over Episodes 4, 5, & 3! It had the most real drama by far.

Some say Chris Nolan makes great movies this century but I think he's a bit overrated... Still got a nice style, however.

I'm actually quite surprised how good a few movies are that a B-list actress named Samara Weaving keeps finding herself in. Go check out "Ready or Not" from 2019 to see what I mean. Just wow. Mahem and Guns Akimbo were also brilliant. She was also Bill & Ted's daughter in B&T3... She's really great a picking roles and practically any movie she's in should be a cult classic.

One things for sure; the better the movie, the less the mainstream seems to talk about it. This is the root of your problem.

Enjoy!

can someone explain to me why the ETF is more attractive to investors than the GBTC? like why is this a bigger deal than the GBTC listing?

Is there an official date that I should care about with all this stupid ETF stuff? If it dumps I'd like to know when i should have a fiat stack ready.

If the ETF is rejected, we dump and I stack more bitcoin. If the ETF is approved and the price pumps, I stack more bitcoin. If the ETF is approved and the price dumps, I stack more bitcoin. The goal is to stack more #bitcoin. It hasn't changed. Don't forget the plot.

Freedom of speech is pretty black or white in my mind

Either you let anyone say exactly what they want or you don’t

“Hate speech” is often defined by someone’s opinion

Who are they so say what is right or wrong today?

An everlasting ethical discussion no doubt

Nostr is cool because it doesn’t discriminate at all

As a user the next step is to be better at curating

The individual vs the collective playing out in yet another area…

Seems like we have Nostr consensus for 2024 🥂

I think the world will become less divided by language as AI gets better at translation. This is really good but will bring up lots of conflicts that have been hidden by language barriers. nostr:note1kpqeffkx49vzxh6dg8pqncwgqfr7kwljy4fur80zxnfg92rljg6qzklmje
