🎵Die Gedanken sind frei.

It's funny how everyone is like "Where experienced Nostr Devs?"

Well, where _any_ experienced devs?

Where sewer cleaner or plumber?

Where electrician?

Where souschef?

Where industrial mechanic?

The majority of the population is paid to work part-time or is on permanent vacation or learned "something studies" and can't figure out how to boil water.

We're already at the point where the most vitally-important positions pay much less than fake jobs, so people are quitting them. Now, the fake job people have lots of money, but struggle to purchase essential goods and services.

What do we spend the money on, once nobody works?

We opened the border and now everyone hides in their homes.

He sounds completely traumatized. Can't imagine the horror of watching that all live.

And there's a weird package in the car. They're checking for explosives.

Bitcoin and gold are down because the Fed.

>>Und dennoch führte die Entscheidung der US-Notenbank (Fed) vom Mittwochabend, die Zinsen um 0,25 Prozentpunkte zu senken, zu heftigen Turbulenzen.

Der breite amerikanische Aktienindex S&P 500 gab fast drei Prozent nach, der Index der Technologiebörse Nasdaq fiel um 3,6 Prozent, die sogenannten „glorreichen Sieben“, die Technologieaktien, die seit Jahren die Börsenrallye anführen, verloren sogar 4,4 Prozent. Gleichzeitig legte der Dollar zu, der Euro fiel unter die Marke von 1,04 Dollar, und auch der Goldpreis sowie der Bitcoin-Kurs gaben nach. Schließlich stiegen auch die Renditen der US-Staatsanleihen kräftig, der Zins für zehnjährige Titel liegt nun über 4,5 Prozent und damit auf dem höchsten Stand seit Mai.<<

It's this weird situation, where everyone is short employees, but there are hardly any open positions because the businesses are broke.

It's confusing because it's also the anniversary of Breitscheidplatz, in Berlin.

Just got my pay stub. I don't want to discuss it further.

I am the Last German with a 40-hour work week.

This particular tradition appears to be an import out of the Middle East. This year's edition was brought to us by Saudi Arabia.

Cars driving into Christmas markets is the new German tradition.

That's because my daughter looks a lot like that. There's some vague similarity.

That zombie stare 👀.

Pale eyes are arguably more striking, without makeup, against pale skin, because it looks disturbingly like there is a blank space, where your eyes should be.

Couldn't we just replace the reference to kind 01 in the NIP-01, with a reference to the (optional) kind 1111 in NIP-22, and then move kind 01 out? That seems like a compromise.

I wouldn't call NIP-22 "nowhere". That gave clients like ours a widely-used reply kind, which is important for making sure OtherStuff doesn't become too isolated.

That convo gave us generic comments, at least.

I mean, that's the weird dynamic of requiring manpower with rare, valuable talents. They often have quite a bit of money, already, and they have comfortable options for where to work to get more money, so you either have to offer them MUCH more money (if you're rich) or you have to offer them some incentive that they value more than "more money".

Non-monetary incentives are actually more sustainable than monetary ones, but they're more rare and complex than money. They are, essentially, things they would happily work to attain, that they can't easily purchase with any money you could give them. Friendship, romantic love, access to some specific territory or group, knowledge, privileges, etc.

So, you can end up with two people wanting the same manpower, one rich person offering €100k/year in full-time, for a limited time, and one poorer person offering €0/year in part-time, for an indefinite time, and the latter offer is much more attractive.

Money, in other words, is useful for buying things you can buy with money, but not everything can be bought with money.

No.

I have dreams which I can only solve with manpower, but I don't need money for that.

I think we're both quite wealthy, actually. It doesn't feel like it, but statistically I'm in the top 10% of household income and I own some Bitcoin and gold. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah, the prices I named were for something larger or more complicated, like Highlighter.

For someone with a smaller project, I'd probably also do more design/workflow work and help them market. I have a powerful npub.

Gherkin is always nice, and mockups, screen shots, etc.

I'm sorta overqualified to test the current Nostr projects, but I figure that they might eventually get bigger, and then my market would expand and I'd already have customers.

Testing has fixed costs, is the thing, as I have to "read" into their system and understand their application and business logic, in order to test. Which I'm really good at, but still. It's not much different from coding bounties, in that way, but each testing round would be more efficient, so I'd expect less pay for them.

Hmm... good question. 🤔 If I were paid in sats, I'd probably expect less than from a fiat company, for starters.

I tend to be really fast, which is probably bad for any model that involves paying by hour. I guess, maybe, depends on the size and complexity of the project, with a lump sum per project, maybe 200k sats for a detailed manual test report with improvement suggestions, with 100k for a follow-up test. More for automation.

Starting in January 2025, the Netherlands will be not be giving rejected asylum seekers anything at all. Not even food, clothing, and a shower.

I'm here to chat. Not here to stare at and talk at people who otherwise ignore me.

They are a waste of my time.

Wir sind beide echt Ökopenner, fr.

Noch ein Falafeldöner, Mädel?

This is actually the sort of thing that would result in my Twitter account getting frozen for wrong-think.

Quick, someone call the Nostr CEO and get that note taken down! 😱

The Manosphere has had no discernable effect. Western men and women have become more feminist since then, not less, with no sign of abating.

The debate is effectively over and the feminists won it.

We're just waiting to see if they can finance their system without monetary debasement.

I suppose that it's the concept of sex-specialization.

Are a man and a woman working side-by-side, splitting each task precisely 50/50 the most efficient?

Or is it more efficient to divvy up the tasks by sex, at least in part?

Well, that would depend upon whether you think men and women are identical or different.

TL;DR

Anti-feminist women are just women who are willing to stand behind some men because those men are persuing some aim those women value higher than their own independence.

And you can't see those women because they're hidden by the men they're standing behind.

If women are not direct public actors (as before feminism, where their male head-of-house often had to open bank accounts for them, agree to their contracts, manage their property, agree to marriage proposals of their female dependents, vote on their behalf, etc.) then it means that men are interacting primarily with other men, rather than directly with women.

How many men would give up the ability to interact with all women, in order to limit the men who can interact with "their" women? Not many, I think.

Antifeminist women are a small, radical fringe, and always have been.

Almost everyone already agrees with you, and those who don't have done a lot of research. Feel welcome to post your information, tho. I read a lot of feminist writing, so I'd probably find it interesting.

I'm just explaining why it's a fringe that is nearly invisible and irrelevant IRL, despite our living in an era of fringe-dominance.

I think most men prefer feminism because it makes women more physically (and eventually, if he plays his cards right and the situation allows for it, sexually) available.

The only man who benefits from a woman being a bit hidden is the man (or men, on a more tribal level) who gets to control access to her, and he only gains that ability by having his access to other women likewise restricted.

How many men have access to a woman so valuable that they'd be willing to sacrifice their access to other women, in order to guard her?

The underlying goal of feminism was to make men and women the same (rather than merely equal) in all aspects of public and private life, and to push women from the home or other sheltered place into the public sphere and into positions of leadership.

The state was required to facilitate this, as women need male protection and provision to leave the home safely, and they now receive that from the "collective male" of the state, rather than from any male head of house. In return, the women are now "collective females" for that same male populace, rather than being attached to some particular man.

Any woman who disagrees with this will tend to be more exclusive with the company that she keeps, even if she is not a recluse. Otherwise, her views would be incoherent (as to be feminist is to be less exclusive), and she opens herself up to persecution because she belongs to a beleaguered minority.

And that is why she is difficult to find. She is difficult to find by design.

A free man has no wife.

A free man has no friends.

It's also incredibly lonely. Essentially, living as a hiermit.
