"Democracy requires active participation, and sooner or later someone 'offers' to take all the difficult decision making away from you and your hectic life. But the dark net throws those decisions back onto you. It hard-codes democracy into the DNA of civilization. You upvote and downvote many times a day on things that directly affect your life and the lives of people around you—not just once every few years on things you haven't got a chance in hell of affecting." -Freedom by Daniel Suarez (Replace darknet with Bitcoin…)

Free speech is being censored everywhere through technology and violence. Nostr use case built for exactly what we are living through. Thankful for this protocol.

I’ve been making kombucha at home since 2014. Selling my kombucha via #zapsnag for extra sats would be so sick but the logistics of bottles and shipping seem like too much. It would have to be a local thing. We’ll see. For now I’ll keep enjoying my brews with my family.

#asknostr can I pay for maple pro and then use one login for my household? Curious how people are using it for family.

Real conversation just now with co workers about the lottery NPCs: “Dude if I won the lottery I would put it in a high yield savings and earn interest I could just live off of” Me: Who actually won the last lottery? Them: no idea, the winners are anonymous. Me: so you just trust that it’s not rigged and someone actually wins? Them: Dude they couldn’t rig it it’s impossible and statistics don’t lie Me: with all the critical thinking capacity that you have, can you dream up any possible way that they could rig the winner? Them: No

@ODELL "I've played Sobol's games. A lot. His Al succeeds because it doesn't anticipate you—it manipulates you." I can’t put this book down

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE. ITS A FREE GIFT THAT DOES NOT DEPEND ON OUR ABILITIES BECAUSE THEOLOGICALLY SPEAKING WE HAVE ZERO CAPACITY TO PLEASE A HOLY GOD. WE ARE SINNERS AND HE IS PERFECT. WITHOUT THE SAVING GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST PAYING THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS, WE WOULD HAVE NO HOPE OF BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. BUT THANKS BE TO GOD THAT HE LOVED US AND GAVE HIS ONLY SON SO THAT WE COULD HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. ASK JESUS FOR MERCY AND HE IS FAITHFUL. HE IS UNDEFEATED.

It looks like vlogs are the shitcoins of this cycle
