When my friend is mad about the other side in the culture/gender/whatever war and im like "the other people don't really think that" "

When my friend is mad about something (usually politics) and I try to respond with nuance

Karens were our last line of defense against enshittification: deteriorating or non-existent customer support, constantly upping prices, every interaction being a bot, and turning every damned feature into a subscription. Karens were an important part of the consumer ecosystem, we killed them off because they were annoying. Come back Karen, we're sorry 😭😭

65 years ago today Yuri Gagarin of the USSR ⚒️ became the first human in space. Fearing the loss of a national hero, he was banned from further space flight, only to die years later in a terrestrial MiG-15 flight. No matter how far you fly, you may be grounded by something mundane. A MiG-15 flight may not be mundane to you and I, but it sure was for Yuri. For you, it may be a bacterial infection, a car crash, a bridge failure, or simply tripping and hitting your head on the concrete. The human body is resilient, but also incredibly fragile when hit in just the right ways. Live and love accordingly. We remember you Yuri 🫡, thank you for inspiring a generation. #space #onthisday

Help me out nostr fam. Trying to figure out payment flow for a client who can't handle much exchange risk (BTC vs USD value). I understand USDT can be sent/received over lightning now. Do the major exchanges actually support receiving USDT over lightning? Is there an easy way to get a LNURL/lightning address which can receive USDT? If a lightning channel with USDT is closed, do they somehow receive that USDT on chain? #asknostr #bitcoin

🤔 Who are they texting? 🤔 Who is this friend of the opposite sex they have? 🤔 What about that one at work who they seem to be getting a little too friendly with? 🤔 Is their behavior crossing the line into "technically" cheating? Am I crazy for being worried about it? Maybe it's "micro-cheating". 💝Monogamy sells us a story that it is valuable because it quells the anxiety that our partner may leave. But all it does is push that anxiety to another place. ⏩Instead of worrying about how you compare to their other partners or options they're interacting with, you worry about whether they're cheating 🚨And if you ask them? Your relationship structure incentivizes them to lie about it, which gives you even more good reason to worry. Instead of an honest answer, which they could give in a polyamorous context, they now may act weird even if nothing weird is going on simply because they worry you're going to interpret it wrong. 🎯In polyamory, you worry your partner may leave you for a better option. In monogamy, you worry your partner may leave you for a better option and lie to you the entire time about it before they actually do. It's clear to me which of those is worse. 😎Your anxieties and insecurities are the problem, not the relationship structure. Choosing monogamy over polyamory to solve your anxieties is no more effective than insisting you can go through your partner's phone, it gives you a very temporary feeling of control but ultimately will likely only end up fueling your anxieties in the long run and doesn't solve the root issue. A partner who knows their phone gets looked through likely isn't going to let themselves get caught cheating this way, but what is likely to happen is for you to see a text your anxiety can latch onto and spiral with. 😘 Real security comes from recognizing and fighting your own anxieties and choosing partners who demonstrate security and commitment on a regular basis. It comes from being the best partner you can be so that your partner never wants to leave. People who put energy there instead of into anxiety have much happier relationships and reduce the chance of cheating in the first place. 🔐 Security also comes from acknowledging that most relationships are temporary, so we should enjoy them while we have them, and that some day we probably, statistically, will be replaced. Or at the very least, even if we stay together, the person we know now will not exist in ten years because they will have changed, loss is inevitable. #relationships #monogamy #polyamory #dating #anxiety
