I've met more Toronto bitcoiners in the last day in Costa Rica than I have in the last 5 years living in Toronto.

Thinking that Damus (and all Nostr apps) should support markdown.

I’ve legit become a Markdown Maxi since I started building a note taking system about a year ago with Obsidian (which has an API) and Hookmarks (universal links to files on your computer).

It’s totally changed how I navigate my digital life and I will be posting a lot of markdown formatted notes either way. So just letting you know 🤣🤣

Ok, sorry but I have to just go ahead and say it: what's with all of this "empath" stuff?

Healthy human beings experience what some seem to think is an extraordinary marked phenomenon called "empathy". In fact, having empathy is SO typical that if you do NOT show the capacity for empathy towards others that is a diagnostic symptom of several cluster B personality disorders such as BPD, NPD, and sociopathy.

So please explain to me why there are people who walk around thinking that their capacity to have empathy for others, to feel by proxy emotions when intense things are shared with them, to be impacted by it, to "sense" the emotional weight that others carry (this "sense" is called perception and... EMPATHY)... is an extraordinary superpower that makes them unique and fairy-like and requiring a lot of extra-special woo-woo things like "extra self-care" and "spiritual protection"? Is your capacity to feel empathy somehow more glorious than the next person's? Every one of us has these feelings!

Literally, anyone who isn't a sociopath or who does not suffer from severe psychological disorder is an "empath" then - so please... let's reel it in. There ARE a lot of things about you that probably make you unique and special, but the capacity to feel empathy is part of being a typically abled human.

So when and where did this "I am an empath, I have extraordinary feelings and needs" thing come from? What am I missing? It seems silly to me.

great move

Я только в начале книги, но могу сказать точно, что книга про революционные движения в России с 1900 года: какие были настроения, кто кого выдавливал из России, кто за границу, кого посадили или убили, кто с кем в каких был отношениях.

I’m about 40% of the way through reading “Wanting” by Luke Burgis. It might be one of the most scarily insightful books I’ve ever read, and I’m not sure what to do with those insights. But they seem pretty important.

anyone struggling to find work in #Bitcoin?

let’s help some plebs out, maybe there are connections to be made here
