Most get a VPN and use Twitter. Much better features and UX, and no ban for speaking against the CCP. And bitcoin is illegal in China, so they don't give a shit about zaps
One is a belief in the government being incompetent openly, the other is a belief that it's incompetent secretly (having to manipulate the plebs with false flags). Ultimately it will be like that until the public realizes that everything that's wrong is their (public) fault.
If there is a breakaway civilization, it's really sad (not to be in it). But if there is not, it's beyond sad meaning that this world is the best available. Either way change is necessary
Starlink or mesh stuff have a horrible side effect of ruining the primacy of direct experience. I understand that it's necessary for the psyche of most modern humans who cannot comprehend entertaining themselves by looking at rocks and tossing things into a fire. Sure it's boring, but it's real. The realer it is, the more truth about reality will be revealed to you. In it, there is a power beyond money or social acceptance. Life as the primary force in all matter.
Audio is a good balance. It at least makes lies less sticky. Kinda surprising how short videos are the most popular medium now and podcasts are still niche.

Thanks to you guys, I now drink a gallon of milk a day.
Lol, why the focus on the carrot? He mentioned he used to eat just one a day.
He said ideally he'd have tropical fruits and traditional cheeses. Milk and sugar is the practical version of that.
It'd be interesting to track down the origin of the anti sugar cult. Saifedean failed to spot it. Oh well, he's an economist. Brain damaged beyond repair 😁
The bulletproof coffee guy found out about Ray too. He's still in denial, but came out that he sometimes eats 300g of carbs (not sure what exactly) a day.
Better question is why breaking bad is so much better than silicon valley. Cause no one ever sucked a dick for an app, bitch.

Atheism (reddit style) was promoted at that time to combat sand nigger terrorist religious ideology. These days the ruling class of the United States has new opponents: secular China and Orthodox Christian Russia. Since secular Confucian ideology is too similar to atheism of Hitchens, folks like him have been phased out, and now the new religion of the ruling industrialists is creationist simulation hypothesis.
It doesn't matter if I piss on it or not. It doesn't matter if it's exciting to autists. It needs to be useful for a good chunk of people or it's another joke fad.
All software I use was useful to millions of people from the beginning. Browser, media player, terminal emulator. Remember the app economy that didn't happen? Now you know it's cause the modern userbase chose 10 apps and nothing custom. Regardless, what problem does Nostr solve? Talking about bitcoin was never a problem
Not in the mood for that now. You've been dreaming about digit's sweet puss for a whole year? Jeez, that's formidable dedication. It logically flows from your underappreciation of your local resources. What's there left to do aside from fantasizing about the online specimens. After all, if you never meet them, you will never break the suspension of disbelief
