Every day I become more convinced that we are winning. Inflation continues to run rampant, the bond rate just hit 5% and they are once again engaged in "quantitative easing". They tell us it isn't a recession and inflation is only 3%. But everyone knows they are lying. The emperor is naked. The #CLARITY Act didn't pass because these MFs are terrified. Our generation will put an end to inflation and war by ensuring the separation of money and state. Just like the founding fathers separated church and state 250 years ago. No longer can a ruler print money to fund unpopular wars. Not Bush. Not Putin. Not Kim Jong Un. Not Obama. Not Trump. Not Netanyahu. Not Iran. Not Xi Jinping. Not any of them. When children use their toys to harm someone, you take their toys away. No matter how much they cry. Which is exactly why we are taking away the money printer 💯 Thank you Satoshi Nakomoto for the blueprint, we will carry on your legacy 🫡. 21 million coins and no more can never be printed. This is the promise of #Bitcoin.

Idea for nostr: relays should ONLY store a list of event IDs so you can query a list of the users most recent posts. Storage of the posts themselves should be pushed to a p2p content-addressed storage backend like freenet, tahoe-lafs, dht (BitTorrent) or similar. You request a note? You are now serving that note to others. Every client becomes a relay. Since everything is signed by a key there's no risk of impersonation. The nostr relay solves the issue of "what are this person's most recent posts" without having to deal with the storage and headaches that come from actually storing the posts themselves. This also solves a number of privacy concerns that come from relays being the centralized place people fetch content from. It also solves the blossom/media storage problem. #nostr

The reason women aren't "afraid of commitment" is because they don't take commitment seriously. Women initiate 70% of divorces and the majority of breakups. Men are the problem? Then why is the lesbian divorce rate double hetero couples and why is the gay male divorce rate half? The answer is obvious if you don't do the mental gymnastics to avoid it.

If your response to adversity and situations you don't like doesn't start with "how did I contribute to this", you will not grow and learn. It doesn't matter if it's "not your fault", asking whose at fault is the wrong question. You are a person, not a court. First ask yourself how you found yourself in this situation, how your actions contributed to it, if at all, and how you can avoid it in the future. After you've done all that, assign all the blame you want. Yes, this is for everything, the more extreme the situation the more important it is to ask that question so you can avoid it. Maybe the answer is there's nothing you could have done to avoid it. That's fine. But give yourself the opportunity to be honest and grow by asking it.

20 years ago we lost a bright l ight. Thank you Steve. #onthisday
