 i have a gym crush 

idk if there’s a correlation between that and me not missing a day 

but yeah 
 You should really tell him 
 The man is trying to help you. You should thank him.  
 To the people who think they’re going to try and kill trump again. 

That’s what JD Vance is ... 
 that's why he was chosen right after the first assassination attempt. I think like the day after. 

You kill trump, you get an even crazier version of the ideology. Your move deep state! 
 The litteral penny for your thoughts. 

In a much,uch darker way.  
 For long-form podcasts, do you prefer when pauses and filler words (um, like, etc) are edited out... 
 Pauses have something to say. 

Pause on the pause censorship.

 Worse, you may have some in your walls and even in your bathroom. 


Scary stuff.  
 it's a scam. The operator can say they got an update without you being able to verify. So basically you never win. 

It's a donation machine.  
 i’m old enough to remember when people would shut up about shit they didn’t know. 
 There is now way you are old enough to remember the time before language. 

As an example : people in antiquity said the earth was flat.  
 How to make sure no one will go to any concert or public venues ever.  
 Cobras anyone ?

 What’s the difference between conspiring and marketing? 
 The media that publishes it.  
 The day will come when core will stealthily introduce an increase in the supply of bitcoins and y... 
 I disagree.

Even if we ignore knots. 

Core must stay in consensus with previous versions. Alot of people run very old versions for this particular reason. 

Miners may take longer to update to new rules as they often don't rubn block validation to save time. 

I feel that risk is overblown. A fork by governments trying to use the IBIT honeypot is more likely.  
 dude I read most of the manga. 


That shit is random AF. 


The whole story is revolving around the protagonist's balls.  
 this podcast is garbage. 

Only one hour. 

It's like only serving amuse bouches
 

Re-do it.  
 I've raw dogged my nsec in so many apps I expect at some point it'll be rugged 

But the next nse... 
 Ya can't yet 
 that's an insane thing to say about a machine. 

By that standard pen,paper and calculators are securities. 
 quick math says that if he only eats that, it's 1700 cals. 

about 50-50 fat and protein. 

One would expect a grown man to lose weight from that diet. 

So being in caloric deficit, we would also expect a drop in LDL. 

 
 Australians pronounce "cache" like

So cute 
 There is nothing cute about that nazi prison colony
 
 Nah bruv

My chill has been taken to the covid camps they built. It never came back.  
 #Primal is quickly becoming unusuable. 
 haven't opened it in a while. What's going on over there ? 

Tbh, Of all the clients, I keep going back to onyx. ( unmaintained fork of Amethyst) 
 There's a guy that said that passive observers of Tor network are economically feasible and that the network is essentially surveilled. 

You can look it up if you're interested. This has been known for like a decade.  
 Just throwing an idea out there : 

Criminal organizations are essentially child labour organizations. And not the smartest kids, low IQ, low education, poor risk assessment kids. 

Similar to what the crypto community looks for, they also need ready to use, pre-made usable tools that are essentially fool proof. 

Ready-to-use encryption networks that have no obvious ties to law enforcement are necessarily niche. 

If they were to require each criminal cell to solder their own encryption devices and load some secure firmware and verify it, they would end up opening cellphone repair shops, not drug slinging operations. 

 
 Wouldn't holding Bitcoin meet these vague standards of harm? Bitcoin certainly isn't great for th... 
 bruv, australians gave up their guns voluntarily in the 90s. 

They are massive pussies. 

This is just a continuation on the same theme. Prison island to begin with, prison island forever.

 I was masturbating to ducks. 

I kept jerking it. 

I kept jerking it. 

I came. 

That's the story.  
 Ronald Cramer in 1997:

"Suppose one were to convince an opponent that one has expert knowledge a... 
 say you know the answer to all the questions you're asking, and that you can trust him to do operations honestly. 


As a grug brain I'd say : 

1000questions aboutlizards
1000 questions about math guy. 

he, in secret scores his own answers based on the answers I give him. The  gives me the total score of both. He's going to say : I have 2 lists, to which I have a score of 750 to one of them and 200 to the other. 



 
 Ok I understand. 

Simple : You put the expert in a room with a locked box. 

The box opens with one of 2 combinations. 

Inside is a gem. 

The combination to open the box is : the first letter of every answer of either lists. so it's a 1000 letter combination. 2 possible combinations.

He just needs to go in the room and come out with the gem. 

If he does he's an expert in either lizards or old math dudes.

Does that work ?  
 So I thought about it more. 

If no machines are allowed, can't we just craft 2 lists of questions whose answers add up, in total, to a certain number of letters. The same sum for both lists. 

The expert reads the questions and gives the total. If the total is ok, he knows, if not, he doesn't? 

 
 Ok, I give up, 😭😭😭. 

What's the answer ?  
 Simpler answer, I guess I keep coming up with variations : 

2 lists : multiple choice for each question. 

The catch is that the sequence of good answers is the same in the two lists : like a,c,d,d,b.....

The expert just returns 2 sequences of 1000 letters. 

If he is an expert, one of those two are correct, if not he's craig wright ?  
 I keep thinking, but best I can do is probalisitically get there. 

I don't see how I can be convinced he's an expert UNLESS he answers all the questions correctly. I can be more and more sure that he is, but never convinced. 

I'm probably missing something.  
 Trump lost.  

His base will still vote for him, but he didn’t gain any new voters last night.
... 
 Haley is deep state too. we'll see. 
 quick question: How are you leaving that unedited? If you ever get any scale, that will 100% get a strike on your channel. 

I mean I was listening and I was like.... damn, good thing no cop is listening lol.  
 Followers are neither vitally important, nor something you can just automatically expect.

But th... 
 I agree, frankly, as a pleb-brained amoeba, I look forward to your posts. Thanks for sharing.

 defamation and libel are civil mstters in the states. it should stay that way. 

It's wrong for the government to sue anyone for speech   
 what do you think of current laws : 
speech "violations" can only be tried in civil court. Like defamation and misrepresentation. Almost never (except very rare occasions) in criminal court. 

Also in the US, the supreme court has ruled that there is no such rhing as hate speech. What do you think about that ruling ? 
 I disagree, there is no such thing as hate speech, there is only hurt feeling. For hate speech, it is difficult to prove mens rea (criminal intent) when people have varying levels of sensitivity to words. "i'll know it when I see it" is a poor excuse for a standard to out someone in jail. you're going to ruin someone's life when the line not to cross isn't clear?


The line that was struck in the US is child P because someone was hurt in the creation of the expressed material.  other than that, freedom of speech is absolute in criminal cases. 

that is the way to go. I will however sau that with geberative AI, the moral standard of that line, while i believe the line should stay, is getting shaky

 illegal immigrants increase inflation very momentarily and then, as long as they are not complete leeches, produce deflation at a quite rapid rate for basic goods and services.

 gm 
 what's the name of the Nostr desktop client that was presented at Nostriga? 
 you finally arrived fuckface.


Welcome to the homeland, we been waiting for you ! 
 ALTERNATIVE TAKE: Unsecured nsecs improve freedom of speech because of plausible deniability. Who sent that Note ?  Not me, I was hacked, look, it was published from a latvian vpn. *shrug*

I understand that for some, their nsec is important to keep. Thise people can take extra measures to secure it. 


 
 Is nostr still gay? 
 yes

 'Individual right' is redundant. No other kind exists. 
 just for funsies, what about corporations ?  
 I am very wprried about the place she wants to put everyone in. 

Me thinks that some are more equal than others in her eyes. 

So some people might end up at the same place as others, you know, the same but different, but still the same.
