nostr:npub14dp8kcc9uhl6s34872hc5hwq40f2qaa8jpwutfvkfm5l2xjynyyque2dhc Seems like overkill, but maybe I’m overestimating the difficulty level. Like, I can also do private posts mentioned-people-only, but not mention anyone) and copy paste them, so that’s really the baseline. I should probably just do that for now… but I’m just curious about what the difference-maker is here.

Microblogging is by far the best antidote I’ve found to writer’s block, and I’m determined to isolate what makes that difference, so I can apply it to writing things that I don’t want to post live in public.

If I could switch posts from private to public after posting them, that’s probably how I’d draft a lot of threads. For me, the chunks of a thread are a writing aid. Are there writing apps anyone can recommend that kind of replicate that experience, of writing an essay one post at a time?

Does anyone ever share a gift registry after their wedding or is that a huge no no?

nostr:npub1jgd3ra67cg6gedh8t4f7fm7m67y3xahehxysyjpmz46swt44wnmq8ww59t I mean, yes, obviously. I do wonder if this kind of appeal has any juice with those "suburban swing voters". Kind of beside the point though when it's committed MSNBC watching Dems talking to each other, which it almost always is, at least here.

Thinking about how on Facebook you can be extremely granular about who a particular post goes out to. I’m wondering about the social consequences of that. It seems like it would backfire too often to be really worth having? Like, you don’t want someone you didn’t invite to a party to see pictures of it - but it gets back to them, that kind of thing? But also maybe more consequential uses for harassment and abuse?

The truly resilient social network isn’t a protocol, it’s a practice.

Like, we need to be keeping track of who our people are, so we don’t lose them if the tech that is keeping track for us goes away. Another metaphor: we should always have a backup, so we can rebuild somewhere else.

Thesis: In the same way that GPS has weakened our natural sense of direction (idk if actually true but let’s go with it), social networks have weakened our natural sense of … our social networks.

nostr:npub1dqy4fnk7ke27jupgyp5g9swfzr8f4fyev8ng9fk5r84npaxnjkeq2wxte6 At least with Lincoln Douglas debate, it’s in this weird middle ground where they literally do sentence diagrams like they’re practicing academic philosophy and treating the logic like math - and as rhetoric, at all but the highest levels, it’s absolute garbage. But it doesn’t work as logic either. It’s self directed sophistry. Actually not too dissimilar from the “rationalist” stuff.

Honestly debate resolutions kind of broke my brain because they expected a level of obsessive logical rigor that was simply incompatible with absolutely defending or rejecting almost any of these blanket statement. The only way to make it make sense was to apply double think, or on some level reject the resolution. Good on these kids for choosing the latter. It sounds fuckin great.

Fun fact, my first exposure to Critical Race Theory was in a debate camp in high school (yes, you can laugh) as an assigned reading. Also, most of the teachers were right wingers, and we had to read some pretty fuckin racist trash too. That was a great and not at all traumatic experience of my life, good times.

lololololololol

(I started reading for shits and giggles, but it was too slow and boring)

I have a lot of free unstructured time, and even more important things to fill it with. Help me out, nostr:npub1edqj4zw0g4t74a9wdz5a52nclppg4kyqrch6qzakffw2z86qwwdsncx49w?

nostr:npub1hzxzusfa6nvfwvnpxp9vyc60sfm5rr5y0cr66egvvds06gywh23qtkr4fr Yeah Dare is a funny one. He’s like half immersed in the SV cult ideology and half able to see it for what it is.

Very cool. I hope 3rd party clients go ahead and run with this and implement it first. :) https://isfeeling.social/@matt/110816293793929646
