Great point. I always thought they were kind of tapping into the "it's all just a video game" kind of vibe, but you are so right because even in the matrix universe this is just an abstraction because if you die in the matrix you die IRL.
There is definitely also a hot war kind of mentality as well and as you point out, everyone who is still plugged in is essentially an agent. They also only kill indiscriminately when there is a greater threat of agents.
I think as I've gotten older and also as I've gotten closer to God, I now find myself questioning the morality of any war movie including WWII movies like saving private Ryan, which also came out in a similar time period. But that was not my mental frame at the time.

The last couple of weeks I've been getting up early and getting some work done before everyone else wakes up. But I keep the lights off in my office and have been enjoying the crackle of a local beeswax woodwick candle that my daughter got me π

Stay humble, stack sats is the only financial advice worth sharing.

Mine was decently fast, but I really like the #albyhub implementation on nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq5xamn8ghj7dnvv45xs7tywde8g6rpvakkjuekw46nvar4vdhxgan6wumkxatzwpckk6rk0puhjdm2da5k7ce5x4kkkumjx3jkzepwdahxjmmwqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvmckqw0xz
No idea, haven't gone down that particular rabbit hole yet. Ive heard that Cashu might be the most practical for now, but it's very early for Bitcoin backed ecash.
Every day hi to my new friend who helped me on Fiverr π₯

Almost half a billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows yesterday π₯
The Bitcoin ETFs (collectively) have had $22.5B in net in flows since January... That's an average of $112M per day π

If we all add even just a little value to the world today, think of how much benefit that is when you add it all up.
Carpe diem frens π€
Austrian Economies first, then why bitcoin is scarce, then why it can succeed where gold failed.
Gotta start with the economics IMHO... They'll learn to hate the banks and the government later π
Lost power here, so if it's not back in the next 10-15 minutes (ish) my UPS will be drained and my node will go offline, so my ability to zap or accept zaps may be impaired shortly. π₯
Hey, so I am running a new incentive for our Bitcoin meetup to have a Bitcoin giveaway every month.
Can anyone in the nostrverse make me a dead simple .APK to side load on my phone so I can automate this sign up sheet and find the winner? I can manually enter the winning number, I don't even need to pull from an API.
Will pay sats.

Ended up getting an app made for this in less than a day for only $25 on Fiverr... Would have preferred a bitcoiner and would have preferred to pay in Bitcoin, but couldn't find anyone π
Wen Fiverr on #nostr?
Meetup went great though!

I'm interviewing for my boss's job this week, not so much because I really want the job but more because none of us are looking forward to the prospect of reporting to someone else who has no clue what we do or how things need to be done.
I'll let y'all know how it goes later on π»
Interview tomorrow morning... Pretty sure I am going to crush it π
