I am not at all surprised that people informed enough to be in #bitcoin and on #nostr are often very well informed in other areas, too.

People here are researchers, thinkers.

So go ahead, you who've done your research on the #MiddleEast. I want to know what you think. If you haven't, well, listen up because the #plebs will show you the better trailheads.

I like it "here"

I wonder what would happen if I started posting nostr memes on LinkedIn.

Clearing up to move. Just found (and tore up) a suicide note I wrote over five years ago. Damn. Hits kinda heavy, feels significant.

I normally keep my Uber rides under 45 mins. But for a few reasons I ended up just getting a two-hour Uber from an airport the other day.

The driver was nice but was like, “damn lol I hope Uber pays me well for this”. The issue with long rides is that the Uber driver is far away after the ride in a new territory and has to try to earn rides back to their normal location. He asked if he could at least stop for coffee or something and I said of course.

So we go for a while and eventually pull over over at a convenience store and he goes to get some coffee and a snack. I go out and get a coffee too and then I pick up his tab and pay for both of us. Uber ended up calling both of us for a health check because the car was stopped.

Buying him a coffee opened him up a bit so we talked for a while. He asked where I was coming from and I said Egypt, and he said he was from Ghana. While chatting and me explaining why I am coming from Egypt, he made a great point that in many places outside of the US, family is a big deal whereas in the US, it is much diminished. And as a result, it’s very important to build connections with neighbors and coworkers in place of that. Even just tell people “good morning” if you usually see them on the way to work so that people know who you are. He came to the US alone four years ago so that is something he describes having learned and a strategy he is using.

Anyway as we pulled up to my destination I gave him an unusually big tip to compensate any inconvenience or unpaid time he might have getting back. A few mins later my doorbell rang and he had come up to say was super thankful for the big tip. The Uber algorithm had kind of screwed him over and the trip price (and thus his share) was low for the hassle, and he felt screwed over by Uber, but then he saw my tip which instantly fixed it.

I should have checked to see if he had a lightning wallet or tried to convince him to download one if not, because then I could have done one of those social media “okay everybody tip this guy” posts. :/

Bitcoin won’t survive if influencers and organizers don’t think about ppl other than their typical audience. JMO

I think that if I ever met Janet Yellen , I should very much like a breakdown of her favourite biscuits (or cookie if you like ) , I think it is worthy of documentation as much as anything else about her .

She looks biscuity , there is no rationality behind it , it is just my gut feeling that she knows a thing or two about what constitutes a good biscuit.
