May the Swartz be with you

Reality check, everyone. It’s not the politicians that need to be replaced, it’s the system. The. Whole. Damned. System. That’s why we’re here.

$10m to OpenSats to fund bitcoin and nostr development. $5m of that dedicated to nostr! 🤙🏼

Thanks to the #[1]​ crew and everyone involved to getting us to this point. 🫂 nostr:note1sq54msjfeurth6kd8fesvhwr99vjrcswe78d89prq7m7kj7te29s9qddec

yeah, hopefully you don't need to move any sats to cold storage or open any LN channels right now. it's going to cost you.

This may be a good time to remind people #Bitcoin has no counterparty risk…

Oh, self-esteem, what a sham you are!

The concept seems simple enough. Think highly of yourself, and you'll feel fantastic! But wait, when you have low self-esteem, you feel terrible. So, it must be that thinking highly of yourself is the key to happiness! But hold on, because this logic is just plain absurd. Yet, we've been bombarded with this pop-psych gibberish for over 50 years, so it's no wonder people have bought into it.

Here's the truth: if you're feeling crummy about yourself, it's probably because your conscience is giving you a reality check. You've messed up, and deep down, you know you don't deserve to feel all warm and fuzzy.

But the self-esteem fanatics insist: cut yourself some slack, relax, forgive yourself. What a crock!

When you've done something wrong, pretending you're a saint won't fix anything. In fact, it'll just make everything worse. You'll end up suppressing your conscience, and that requires some heavy-duty anesthesia. You'll find yourself drowning that pesky inner voice with addictions, anything from hard drugs to workaholism. But the truth remains: you can't ignore that voice forever.

So, let's call self-esteem what it really is: self-delusion. You should feel good about yourself when you are, in fact, a good person. And you become a good person through good deeds. Someone scamming others shouldn't be strutting around like they're on top of the world.

So, let's kick the self-esteem charade to the curb and embrace a new mantra: actions speak louder than words. Forget about coddling yourself with empty platitudes, and focus on being the best version of yourself through meaningful actions. Strive for character, virtue, and self-reflection built on a foundation of doing, not feeling. Say goodbye to the self-esteem hoax and say hello to a life built on real accomplishments.

Your conscience will thank you.

You know culturally it used to be an oddity to be offended. So much so that it was a punchline/trope in many comedies. Consider Caddy Shack. Rodney Dangerfield spends the entire movie offending the sensibilities of snooty country club guests. The audience was on his side. We used to all know as a point of fact that being offended was weak, pathetic and childish. Nowadays many Americans are on the side of the hysterical/offended/triggered person. Shit is whack. Stop being offended so easily. It’s weak and pathetic and childish. It always has been. It always will be.

That’s right up there with this one…

Wait zaps are bitcoins?

I have never experienced such a warm welcome from any community on any social network 😮

I'm like is this a joke or a scam, or is that for real 🤣

Thank you all, and now I have "sats" I can zap to newcommers too? What can we do in here with it? Buy emojis? Memberships? Let me know #nostr community!
