You can understand so much more when you realize capitalism is just a larp, it's not that retards care about money, it's that they're too retarded to care about anything and they just pick random shit to larp about caring about.

Daily reminder that even though it would only take any nostr client operator ONE DAY to make a zero-lightning version of their client, I've been reiterating how badly we need it for years, because nostr is run by retarded grifters who want to die poor. They care so little about anything, and pretend to care so much about money, and most importantly are so fucking low IQ, that they get paid pennies to sabotage nostr instead of letting it grow and enjoying far more than pennies as a financial side effect.

What privately storing a Bitcoin seed phrase does on its own: stores Bitcoin. What privately storing a lightning key does on its own: nothing. This is how lightning is designed to keep people brainwashed to use "third party deposit custodians," exactly like dollar bank accounts. Fake money with no scarcity. That's why Bitcoin is struggling so badly.

I was definitely conflating 2 things. The daily reminder needs to be for people who don't know, not for liars.

I guess there are also absolute noobs who aren't parroting lies, just haven't heard both sides. Maybe daily reminders of what lightning is can help them. Maybe some of my anger/bitterness comes from conflating every lightning user with the ones that parrot lies

The problem with making this a daily reminder is fundamentally, people just don't care. There was never an honest mistake in saying "run your own node," people are just choosing to parrot a lie. There's no point trying to make people see obvious shit, that's the meaning of obvious, people ignoring it can obviously see it. But maybe what I'm really doing is reminding myself I'm alone and need to stay focused on Digit if I ever want to feel more able to accept the shitfucked world around me View quoted note →

"yOu CaN ruN YouR oWn LigHtNinG nOde" is the bitcoiner equivalent of "iNfLAtiOn iS GoOd, aCTuaLlY"

Probably need to start making this a daily reminder: If you have a lightning address on your profile, you are promoting fake money ("custodial deposits"), exactly like dollarbrain normies who pretend to be smart. If you pretend this is avoided by running a node, you're a liar and a denialist.

I don't care that some cp spamming account liked some of my posts, but I don't love that I got an error when I tried to mute the npub

They believed North America was on the back of a turtle. Did Terry Pratchett know this? View quoted note →

When you're this angry at the world, it's important to have some people who understand they're personally not the reason you're angry

Leveling Tel Aviv is meaningless if the landmarks of Washington DC are still standing

It really set me off this morning getting yet another fucking spam ad for Louis Rossmann trying to pretend fucking Minecraft multiplayer servers are secure/private, bitching about some European person calling them "illegal," instead of simply telling people to stop fucking installing Microslop spyware and play Luanti instead View quoted note →

Before retards started pretending climate change isn't real, they pretended it was a good idea. "Normies love warm sunny days and hate cold days and rain, now they'll get to enjoy longer summers and more droughts while we pipe enough water everywhere." Now they're pretending it's a good idea to put sunblock in the atmosphere. If we need to block the sun, there's a fucking moon, we don't even need to collect asteroids or anything for material. But the retards I share this planet with would rather fuck with the air.

Digit is smarter than me, but still sick enough to block her own comprehension of OBVIOUS shit, even when it's vital for her to comprehend. I love her so much because she's less sick than almost everyone, but still very sick. Assuming she's even alive and hasn't committed suicide from the sickness.

What would be ABSOLUTELY IDEAL: I say how obvious it is that lightning is a poverty scheme, all of you listen and ask clarifying questions until you understand, then you share the info, and no one ever uses lightning again. You do the same with all other obvious things. What would be PROBABLY ENOUGH: one of you listens and asks clarifying questions until you understand, then you share the info and stop using lightning, and do the same with all other obvious things. The authorities and their algorithms are terrified of how knowledge spreads between anti-liars, and the impact that can have. What HAPPENS: approximately zero of you listen or ask clarifying questions until you understand, and absolutely zero of you do it for every obvious thing, and the authorities don't have to fear shit at all. I'm the one that has to be terrified of how the authorities are on track to kill me and everyone else, not being stopped until too late.
