GM, GN, and GFY.

Sorry, it does if you wait around long enough. I was moving on thinking nothing was happening. I failed to notice the tiny loading icon on the button. Honestly, it would be far less confusing if you just didn't tell me that the user isn't setup. Just load the list like you're going to anyway to avoid the entire confusion. Maybe add them to the bottom of the list with the message icon instead of the pay button.

I switched to day shift in the US and usually see your GN right when I'm hopping on.

Still having ☕ even though it's closer to GN here so it counts 😊

Figured you would notice it eventually. 😂 Adding my new Lightning address was a small pain in the ass.

Unfortunately, I've made myself a sucker far too many times to not believe it. Fuck it. Lesson fully learned this time. Sometimes my hard head requires a lot of beating for things to fully sink in.

Unfortunately, bad faith isn't always easy to detect until you've already wasted your time (it often comes in the form of a gotcha type remark at the end of the encounter - like here). Which is why I think a FAQ page is the best solution for me lol Fuckem. I'm winning.

This just happened to me. For context, this person has quite a deep understanding of my philosophy on Bitcoin. This is why I've stopped wasting my time on people. No one really wants my opinion. They just want me to affirm the choice they have already made.

I'm probably just going to ignore these types of messages entirely from now on. Or go back to a strict policy of only responding with my FAQ text file. I may even make a web page for it so others can use it (will share if I do).

Warrior in a garden. I don't need this shit and neither does #Bitcoin.

I do this a lot with Signal Note to Self 😂

And if it's too large (I try to respect the cost of running the service even if it will go through on Signal), Syncthing or Filen. The cost of Syncthing and Filen is completely on me so I feel better about using them for anything that is larger than text.

I didn't realize that hitting Okay would continue letting me send so I never went past this notice. Unintended discovery for me.

I have no idea what causes it, but zap.stream frequently has problems resetting the streaming video to previous points at random. It'll sometimes play previous audio over the current audio/video as well. The problem happens for me on mobile and desktop using different browsers with no VPNs or anything like that running. The issue has occurred every time I've tried the website.

Anyone else having this issue?

Capitalism has become one of the biggest scapegoats in human history.

The many versions of socialism and central planning have failed over and over, yet the results are often branded as lAtE sTaGe CaPiTaLiSm.

For one, there are no stages to capitalism. It either is or it isn't. There is no spectrum. It's binary. People are either free to transact without force or they aren't. Elements of capitalism are present in many systems, but none on earth today are capitalist. Calling them such is offensive to capitalism.

To be clear, I define capitalism as a system in which people are free to transact without force, with the only government intervention being to address force if it is used (fraud, theft, violence, property rights violations). As things are, governments are typically the largest perpetrators of force in economies. I think this is because almost no one understands what capitalism actually is or why it's necessary for human flourishing.

Just like the one size fits all fiat scam.

Many of them are doing a fine job making a mockery of themselves. There are still some good bits out there though.
