Tons of people posted variations of the picture meme of the “did you just take both pills?” and I just had to make it real 🤣

How does your original argument not apply to the idea of conversation itself?

This is why I said “whether unpopular or not,” because if I accepted your post as true, then I’d argue your post was just group signaling for all the cynical people who always want to believe that all people are stupid & tribal.

A simple example: does the meme of 21 million convey any useful information at all, or is it empty if any purpose except for group signaling to reinforce tribalism? 🤔

I swear I accidentally like my own posts up here at least once a day 🤣

Whether the opinion unpopular or not, I think it's very incorrect.

Because you can point out memes that *are* group signaling, doesn't mean memes are universally this or even that it predominately operates this way. Memes are a medium which forces one to breakdown ideas into their most concise form. They will have the same scope of correctness, painfully wrong, mindless group signaling, etc as literally the concept of "ideas" itself.

ie. you might as well say "ideas are just group signaling to breed tribalism."

I post different things on Twitter vs Nostr

That was something I felt Twitter needed to hear. Nostr already gets it 😂

Depends on the aesthetic or “story” you want from it. I like #1 for the depth & brightness of the cityscape. I like #2 for the color but am searching for more contrast in the buildings and city around the highway. A little too dark, might benefit from bumping exposure a bit.

Thanks! This probably has the best I'm going to get seeing as its from the actual source. 5K sats on the way.

Can't tell if honest mistake, or sent lowest res picture you had...

You can either type in or copy the lightning address or save the image and then in the "send" screen there is a little image icon which will let you select an image with a QR in it from your photos

Will pay 5,000 sats for the highest quality (preferably 2K) picture of THE BITCOIN SKULL in a .png.

Only finding low res versions at the moment and don't want to spend the time looking.

Hahaha this is amazing. Where’s the original video?

Great practice to have a “defensive shipping address.” I do this and would absolutely recommend it. Agree on not wanting to give them my info.

Much explain. So understanding. 🤣

Seriously? How the hell does it work? 🤔

But it’s cool that we can do it 😆💜

So I hear news of a NOSTR hackathon — I will separately reward 500k sats to anyone who creates a relay/note model that splits all zaps with the relay operator who served the note that is designated in percentage by the user.

ie. i can set a 25% open split to all of my zaps, where the relay can input their LNaddress/keysend/etc. If it stays empty, then all of the zap goes to me like normal.

Thorium is the single energy source that has the greatest asymmetry between the lack attention it receives & the near infinite reward that would be achieved from its utilization.

Had to say something about this on Twitter and I'll just leave it there for people to get super pissed & argue about it. But maybe it'll make just ONE person think twice about it. And that'll be worth it.

h/t #[0] for the inspiration and getting me riled up about it 😂

First is that I’ve never seen this at all. Second is that they generally *know* each other. They are responding to friends and people they’ve met in person because that’s who you notice when you have tons of replies.

What you are seeing is *familiarity* among those who have tons of people who try to interact with them, not some pseudo-elitism or whatever you seem to be suggesting.

Am I supposed to believe that the FDIC has like a savings account somewhere with billions of dollars in it?... because I don't 🤣

Anyone know where the money is coming from so i don't have to read about the FDIC?

Coldcard is like the OG hardware wallet 🤣

NFC on the mk4 has made a huge difference in how much I go to it and in what way I use it. I need to commit to exploring tapsigner setups more seriously. I've got 2 new ones that should be here any day now

I listen to 3-4. My physical reading of books is way down though, maybe once every 3 months or so. But I do a fuck ton of reading on screens, mostly articles though.
