 I like the dynamic that creates. Makes me wonder if she is the hero or the villain. Also points me toward lighthearted or satirical sci-fi action. Either way it feels like the film will take itself less seriously than poster version 1. 

Also, I’m a huge fan of Broken Money and can’t wait to read the new book! (or manuscript if you want a citizen editor 😅) 
 This article explains that there is no good scientific evidence to prove the effects of social media use on mental health in adults, and it clarifies further that no studies have been done on children or teens: There is insufficient scientific data to support social media as either good or bad for mental health.

This does not mean that social media has a neutral effect on mental health. It means that we haven’t collected enough data to know scientifically anything about social media’s effect on mental health. To me this means we just need bigger, better randomized controlled studies (practically impossible) if we actually want to answer the question scientifically. Alternatively, observational studies of societies undergoing legislative reform could shed some less perfect light.

 can you recommend a good resource that explains the differences between these protocols from the ground up (that might help a novice more fully appreciate your comments)? web search and read is my default but often not very efficient..

 could it filter results by criteria such as number of replies, reposts, hearts, or sata zapped? 
 agree that calling it a Google Search is not contextually congruent. is there a different way to accuratey refer to an efficient search that can be filtered? 
 a basic diagram of how the protocol functions could be helpful without invoking bias 
 or perhaps GitTr is more etymologicaly accurate 
 but I see now that str is the accepted suffix for nostrified

 Is it worse to have your child's data incorporated into an AI, sold by corporate actors, or simply made freely available on social media? I think all would increase the risk of deepfakes and other harmful exploitation. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/29/artificial-intelligence-privacy-schools-00132790 #ai #privacy 
 Interesting. Hope further research can clarify exactly how mitochondria are effected and suggest a treatment. 
 welcome and thanks for sharing! 
 Preston, I got carried away and zapped this post thinking I was tipping you directly. How can I publicly tip you for your episodes? vmvd please enjoy the sats :) 
 Very good analysis.
I'd like to explain a nuance which some might miss.

 though would missing ordinals really affect fee estimation as long as there's an adequate sample domain of transaction fee sizes? (fyi this is Signoi from RaspiBolt) 
 I hope someday reposts and zaps completely replace the need for “likes”/🤙🏼.

 I'm sure that for some like myself likes get my dopamine flowing a little, though agree that zaps are more exciting.

Functionally, likes could also add value if you could sort a searchable nostr database by them, or incorportate into seach algo.

But I do think it would be interesting to see how a zaps and reposts only network would grow differently from one with likes.

 Etymologically, wouldn't gittr make more sense?
