Trying #nostr again after a couple of months. I wanted to reintroduce myself—I'm Kristin, and I'm on a carnivore journey to heal my body. I host a podcast where I share why I started, my experiences from day 1 to today, and the ups and downs of my healing journey. Join me as I share my honest progress and insights!

I just set up my wallet, anyone kind enough to help me test to see if zaps work?

lol it’s funny to me that this woman believes men have to hate each other to compete with one another.

Quite the contrary. For men competition is the default. Our entire lives are one endless competition.

Being competitive with friends is done (usually) out of love.

By competing in a safe environment with people who have your best interest at heart, it allows you to level up.

Iron sharpens iron.

The feminine mind cannot comprehend this.

NOSTR will eventually end the casual sociopathy in Bitcoin.

We're not an audited "community" - our money is audited every 10 mins, but reputations have been double-spent many many times because such people can get away with it, and we, can afford it like a tax.

Reputation, provable competence, identity.

This is NOSTR's potential, and here for it.

I was at an extended family gathering for the Eid al-Adha holiday today. At these gatherings, the older generation in this family tends to not speak great English, so they normally speak among themselves in Arabic, while the younger generation speaks English, with some periods where we all speak together and my husband translates.

The center of this gathering was a newborn baby. My husband’s cousin had a child, and he was so cute and we took turns holding him and playing with him.

The oldest uncle is a retired doctor and although he normally speaks in Arabic among his peers, he actually speaks fluent English as well when there is context for it, since he used to live and work abroad. But he rarely speaks at these gatherings, in either Arabic or English. It’s a running joke that he is grumpy and rarely has much to say, and just kind of zones out at these things. Sometimes when people ask him what he is thinking, he makes a dry concise joke or a funny brief criticism of someone with like a stone cold expression. So usually at least once someone asks him, just to see what kind of grumpy thing he will say in response, since you never know what it’ll be but it’s never boring.

When the family was figuring out which coast town we should take a vacation to in a couple weeks, the uncle was quiet and eventually someone asked him what his choice is, and he sarcastically said “El Arish” which is the Egyptian coast town right near Gaza, to be a buzzkill. The joke being that it’s an obviously bad choice for a vacation.

A while later when people were talking about movies, he was again doing his zoned out expression, so my husband and cousin were whispering to me to ask him what he’s thinking about this time. I was hesitant but they were like, “do it, it’ll be great.”

So I asked what he’s thinking about. With his perfect English, he’s like, “You and Mohamed should have a child by the time you visit us next year. You’re getting old.”

Everyone was like, “…oh shit” since they thought he would say a bad movie or tell me I watch too many movies or something. One cousin was like, “uncle, they will when and if they are ready!”

But the uncle continued. “You two think you are busy now, but it only gets worse from here. The older you get the harder it will be, and you’re already getting old. Both of you are too smart and overthinking it, waiting for a perfect moment that will never come. If you two wait too long, you might not be able to do it, or there’s a higher chance the child will have health problems. Just do it now, while you are still in your mid-thirties, don’t let yourself get any older. And if you don’t do it, naught but regret and darkness awaits.”

So everyone was facepalming, since this was not the direction they were expecting. I was like, “thank you for the blunt advice, we will consider it! 😅”

One aunt who doesn’t speak English asked what he said, so one cousin said, “He called her a hag, basically.”

GOOD MORNING. 🫡

Signal just made me solve a dozen CAPTCHAs so that I may be blessed to use Signal Desktop behind a VPN. Apparently it's to reduce spam.

Hey frens 👋

Please answer my question

"Do you still use mouse pad when you work with PC or Laptop?"

Has anyone here ever heard of Bitcoin?

Privacy doesn't exist without decentralization.

Centralized privacy is only temporary privacy.

The hypocrisy has to stop

By running both a VC fund (1031) and Open Sats a 501c you create a bias. You can’t have a fiduciary responsibility to your investors and allocate to FOSS devs without a bias no matter how you structure these entities.

Let me paint scenario where an open source dev is looking to make a 1031 funded company obsolete, would open sats fund it? I have a hard time believing open sats would especially since Odell would be liable for damages for breaking his fiduciary responsibility.

The biggest problem is that Open sats doesn’t fund anonymous developers. That means if Satoshi had come to Open Sats for funding he would have been denied.

Open Sats would be better off creating a list of devs / projects for people to zap / crowdfund instead of being a middleman.

I already know -oUr dOnOrS need tax deductions.

Say it out loud then

The entire existence of open sats is to give donors tax breaks and KYC devs.

cool got it
