 - what’s your source for the statement: β€œthe average male leftist is hypogonadal”? Can not find that NPR research online
- what does β€œhormonally healthy” even mean? With the evidence you supply, one could argue that hypergonadism causes right wing voting. 
- Assuming this is the same for women is just stupid
- Automatically linking this to our environmental toxicity is not even logical are reasonable without further sources

Sorry, your post is utter non-sense without proper argumentation. πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹ 
 Sure bud, have fun on your fantasy planet :) 
 Thank god for ChatGPT and I still stand by what I’ve said. This is not scientific research in any way

 Thanks, appreciate it! Although on the surface it looks interesting, I still have so many questions and I would NOT go out on a limb and make the same conclusions as you did. 

First and foremost: how were the 136 democrats selected? How representative is this number for the entire population? When in what context where these individual asked about their party-affiliation? How does the β€œtoxitity” of our environment influence our hormone levels? How evenly spread is this influence throughout the country?

Please, please, be more critical on what you find on the internet and especially this cesspool called xitter. 
 It depends if you want to overcome your own convictions. If not, then no proper research can be left behind. What I said, living in a fantasy world is fine, but you'll never grow as a person. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ 
 I don't think these compare in that way. Besides that, based on proper study (referencing "the invisible gorilla" here), human beings are terrible at a lot of cognitive tasks which are fundamental to what you are proposing. So no I am inclined to disbelieve anything which has "common sense" as a basis, or at least I challenge my human reaction to believe it. 

Anyway, we know _from research_ that men have, on average, more muscle power. So on average men are stronger, but a lot of women are stronger than a lot of men. And wether that's beneficial depends entirly on the goal you're trying to achieve.  How much they work together etc etc. So the statement is arbitrary at its best. Wether or not you vote democrat or republican based on your hormonelevels are, is of quite a different order of impact on society if you ask me.

Wether or not tax dollars should be spent is a political choice.

 No-coiners or how to overcome your convictions and trust your life-savings into something unknown.

A lot, if not almost everyone, of people here have them in their lives: no-coiners. Their expriences with them, often negative, are shared here. They are depicted as ignorant, stupid or anything making them less of a human being. Bitcoiners understand #bitcoin, understand why it is important to #stack , know how to keep and fight for their #privacy. #No-coiners, obviously, don’t know any of this. As if they are #mudbloods

The reasons to stay #no-coiner probably very per individual. I can only reason from my own perspective. Having a technical background, I’d like to believe I (at least somewhat) understand the inner workings of #bitcoin. How complex, energy-costly mathematics secure a virtual asset. How millions of node, in distrust of each other, keep their own copy of The #Ledger. And still, there is reluctance to step in. The same reluctance I feel that prevents me stepping into stocks. There is something unpredictable and a feeling of unpredictability those not go well with my savings. Is this risk aversion? Yes, likely it is. 

I stack up my #sats slowly, because that is the rate that fits me. Although my #FOMO sometimes plays up, wanting me to move our savings for our children to #bitcoin. Afraid it wont have any value at the time I need it. 

What am I trying to say here? I think that if we really believe that this technology will change the world. That everyone can and should profit from this "being your own bank”. Then I can say having patience with the fears, convictions and shortsightness of no-coiners are virtues we should attain. People have grown up in a world of gravity and we are telling them they can actually fly. Yes this is an uphill battle, but I think that growing compassion in this is may be even more important than the #sats we’re stacking along the way.

 AI requires us in many ways to speed up as individuals, as communities, as society.  Are we turning in the prey we used to hunt by wearing it down? #asknostr

 I hope so, but that was not my point. Also I don't believe in a solely individual path. One does not operate in isolation. Even the great jd Vance did not accomplish this entirely by himself alone, he had mentors and role models for example, but I am impressed by his path (on wikipedia, fwiw) to this position. I can only hope he has the love and wisdom, gathered in is life, within him to be a great leader and make your country whole again.

 WebSockets > HTTP 
 Meh, GET|POST /path is bare minimum, possibly with an host header for virtual hosts. There rest is pretty much optional sugercoating. Your reasoning goes the same for all nips beside 01. No need for the rest in essence and it is the same for http. And then devs start adding features 🀣 
 Yeah, you could only do with get or post, it just that these two cause the browser to act differently. The other methods are (more or less) degrees of freedom expression. I'd say the nips are not much different technically, may be semantically there is some difference dunno, but to go religic about it goes a bit far.

 You can that sort of do with nostr too by embedding an url to an image. Later on you can change that image. To prevent that, nostr should add something like etags (sha256 checksum) to an event for links to static elements. Clients can then check their validity. Also relays could prefetch these static files and provide them to clients in additional http requests. Clients can verify them by the etags. This would make nostr safer and easier to scale,.since static content is distributed.

 What do you mean with "personal graph" and where can I learn more about this? 
 Yes, I ran into that article. Am I correct to summarize it as: the overview of your personal relationships/information online? 
 Is there any work being done on #nostr integrating it as a #mfa/#openid solution without the need for big tech platforms? #asknostr 
 I understand, I was thinking about something like this: https://github.com/nostriphant/.github/issues/3 
 Yes and I want to bring it to php/wordpress/laravel apps. Any work done there? 
 I see that it mostly client stuff, but there is some back-end work required. At least providing nip46 php library would help devs connecting their apps to the nostr ecosystem. Perhaps integrating these is too specific and should be done by the app devs themselves...

Polarising is not the answer. 
 Nope 
 That would be the case if this was a country like somewhere on the other side of the planet. Unfortunately Europe is quite the ally of the US, so whoever is in charge there does effect us here.

 Still a lot to be done, but the presence is there, let's #nostrify the #elePHPants! 
 A new initiative I was thinking on, let's leverage the web, let's nostrify the elephants! The idea is to create a suite of php libraries which can be used to nostrify different php apps (#wordpress, #drupal, #nextcloud etc), so #nostr can find it's way onto the web.
