I'm 31 and am getting varicose veins in my legs 😭 A bit unlucky but you know what? It's not cancer. It's not an aortic aneurysm. It's not trigeminal neuralgia. The older I get, the more I've seen the body fail in horrifying and tragic ways. So I'll take the varicose veins 😂

Today, "Mark Zuckerberg pushed for far-reaching online age verification standards that would impose age verification at the app store level." And Twitter's CEO supported the "Kids Online Safety Act, a bill that would expand online age verification."

The "compact theory" isn't a theory. It's history. The suggestion that it was the federal government that created the States is an absurd fiction concocted to justify centralizing power.

Well maybe he has a point. Do you connect to Nostr using a VPN or Tor? Tbh it would be nice if some Nostr clients had a Tor-only mode like some Bitcoin wallets do (although that would probably kill video streaming).

Re Nostr privacy: I don't get what the big deal is. Twitter servers have your IP address, and Nostr servers have your IP address. It cannot be said that Nostr is a step backward in this regard. https://image.nostr.build/52b068601ab760348dfce5667bd8bf480b060ca5cb9710813f32f65bdd42146a.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1152x1816&blurhash=%5E27w%3F1%7EW4n%252Dixu%252jEaLsoV%40ofIUVss%3AoLaej%5B%25Mn%25jFs%3ARjWCIAs.e.aes%3AWBM%7Bs%3As%3BjFV%40ayMxV%40aejYt7ofIUn%24s%3Bofj%40Rj%25MaeRjofWBj%5B&x=7487979027fe7bbb582ba22702027c7f020e3b08b25268c78e913139f11d281e

At my apartment building you're not allowed to have a car that "appear[s] to be incapable of self-propelled movement." What a lovely little phrase 😅 https://image.nostr.build/73404eb00d504ea9b75a65321f705e257fc895d687f8ee0ef3417b74eb9647c1.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=483x165&blurhash=Q5SF%3BLD%25%7Eq%3Fb-%3B%3Fb-%3Bazof%25MM%7C-%3BofIVj%5Bj%5BRjay_3M%7BD%25t7WBt7WBj%5BWB&x=6714bf7c69f7eacf8fb09b3dec06090a66f35d1bf70d4ceccacce53f0383c957

It's quite funny that Biden now says he wants to fix the border. Mike Johnson compiled a list of 60+ actions Biden took to WEAKEN the border and exacerbate this crisis. It's an interesting list:
