I still have to watch it. That’s 2+ hours of my life I need to dedicate to it.

Good morning #Europe.

#weather : Mild weather over Western Europe and the Med, deep cold in Northern Scandinavia.

I heard Vlad gave the Westerner a very long lesson in Soviet history dating back to ancient times. Like bruh, you came here and didn’t do your homework. lol. FAIL

I'm just going to drop this here.

It can feel like that, but you wouldn't be in a position to help them, if you were merely fools.

They think you have special powers and your magnanimity knows no bounds.

They're about to get a lesson in reality, tho, as white men are increasingly poor, unmarried and childless. They aren't going to be able to shoulder the world, anymore.

They will have enough to do, keeping the lights on and the bridges from collapsing, dealing with civil wars, and trying to find a wife.

Countries can't whine. Only individual people can whine.

And whining is not complaining.

Country X turns into shitshow.

West doesn't intervene.

--> West is turning a blind eye to the suffering of others.

--> West is raciss and genocidal.

--> West has an obligation to former colonies.

--> West is probably at fault because history.

--> White man bad, everyone whine to him.

West does intervene.

--> West is playing world police.

--> West is raciss and genocidal.

--> West should have intervened differently.

--> West intervened for the wrong reasons.

--> White man bad, everyone whine to him.

When they tell you that they think you are superior beings, without telling you.

I didn't say it did. Bravery is a different virtue. Virtues can conflict.

I respect that.

I also had relatives getting called up to defend the Heimatfront at the end of the War, when it was obviously futile. They went willingly, as a matter of honor. And they died within a few days.

I also respect that.

As a man I can only say, assuming we use logic when making decisions is a bit of a stretch. 😊 Speaking only for myself of course.

For the record, I have full respect for everyone serving in their military and for conscientious objectors.

Well, satellite.earth looks dope while not slow in any way (for a bloated modern web client), the only inability being to edit relay list.

And yes, please stop telling me that extensions (which, by design, can read any contents of any opened webpage) are more secure than pasting nsec. I won't buy this crap.

Actually, I am affected pretty much. But got used to this.

If clients could add a simple 'trending hashtags' section with basic Web of Trust (WOT) for spam filtering and relevant recommendations, it would bring much more fun to Nostr.

It would make it easier to create new trends, facilitate organized discussions, and be especially beneficial for new users.

I understand there some challenges, but I believe the effort would be absolutely worth it.

What is crazy depends largely upon which bubble you're in.

Yeah, but a lot of people self-censor on here, too, just about different stuff.

Meet the new masters.

Just as intimidating as the old masters, but with bitcoin memes.

Today, while reading about the Administrative Aspects of Napoleon, I inadvertently delved into a fascinating rabbit hole surrounding "compound interest-based loans," also referred to as "usury." Napoleon was strongly against it.

It appears that throughout history, many civilizations, both Christian & Islamic considered usury sinful and even illegal. Yet, in our modern era, entire economies are built upon it.

I'm starting to believe that perhaps they knew something we have since forgotten.

Don't you have any opinion around it? I'm still learning 🤔
