My response was much more heated than warranted and I was onboard with a sensible conversation about it until he added the “edit it from existence” and “perpetuate the myth” as if I owed him something by not trying to twist an aggressively anti-property rights ideology to fit the most fundamentally sound system of digital property ever implemented.
That shit gets to me in a very special way. That said, I’m dumb for taking it personally despite the cheap accusation.
Marxism is nonsense and the idea that I’m “editing something out of existence” by not wasting my extremely scarce time trying to pretzel twist a philosophy that’s totally against property rights and the most basic individual morality probably tells me enough of what I need to know about why you believe it.
Just a note: being accusatory about why I don’t read or share what YOU think as if I have some obligation to work for you is about the fastest way to get me to not care what you wanted out of me. Iconic Marxist, believing you own a fucking second of how I spend my life or time.
This is great. It’s always in the dev list, bitcoin optech, and a few other avenues where you I have to hunt to get this sort of discussion. But it would be good to see it brought to the forefront more.
That’s a yes from me on this idea.
Plebstr is a really fantastic client 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻@npub1plstrz6dhu8q4fq0e4rjpxe2fxe5x87y2w6xpm70gh9qh5tt66kqkgkx8j
Maybe I don't understand your point then
I’m saying that memes can and do encompass the entire space of ideas.
This is known as Nostrbating
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 🤣
IMO, this doesnt really have any bearing on my argument. You’re just using a word with negative connation to replace “idea.” 🤔
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
I'm a simple man.
I see a lightning address and I zap.⚡
This might actually make sense by just having the Lightning address provided as a service BY the relay… 🤔
Then the split can just be behind the address itself, and the user can sign to maybe decide which relay they want to compensate? 🤔
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.
I really hate that Bitkit tools aren’t more widely implemented. For the small portion of the time I get to use it, it’s so fucking convenient.
HAHAhaha I can't stop laughing at this shit 😂
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.
That's awesome, how many panels do you have? I've been figuring out ways to supplement, but completely replacing my reliance on the grid seems to not be feasible. Would love to find out I'm wrong about that!
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 😂

Honestly you only need WOS if using it for the Lightning address. Otherwise non-custodial Phoenix/Breez and the like will work seamlessly without having to understand or manage anything.
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?
