Two things that I didn't earn that I am deeply grateful for: my parents are not Boomers (they are Silents), and I'm not a Boomer (I'm a GenZ).

"Block" is trivially bypassed by using a logged out tab. It's ok and good to say "I don't want to see their words". It's foolish to try to demand and enforce "they are not allowed to see my words". If you don't want people you don't like to see your posts, don't post.

Is there *any* conversation on nostr other than "coins" and Twitter.  This is like the guy who can only talk about his Rolex and his Ex-wife.

I honestly do not get "Face" cultures and people. Eventually people find out "what you are in the dark", and then your "Face" becomes a garish clown mask.

I wish there was an actual real deep liquid prediction market where I could bet against the people who are very sure of things they don't know. That one existing is deemed deeply illegal by all "right thinking" existing power structures everywhere is suspicious.

late stage capitalism is when we are all huddled around rapidly spinning black holes, extracting the last energy we can via the Penrose process

Rule by Victor von Doom would be, in actual fact, better in every respect than rule by a toxic self licking rats nest of bankers and lawyers who can win popularity contests.

When multimodal AIs come online, how long before someone writes a browser plugin to use one to automatically solve CAPTCHAs?

So what happens when the NSA trains a LLM on the entirety of their archive of their "collection"? And what classification would it's responses be?
