If you were a mechanical engineer, and you wanted to contribute to the nostr/bitcoin community, how would you do so?
And for the record, I'm not so much wondering what business I could start, as which open source projects, or community efforts could benefit from my seemingly less common skills.

If I was better with this platform I would have quoted or linked to one of your posts where you make fun of devs for shamelessly trying to solicit financial support 🙂

I'd compare fascism to cheating: any is unacceptable but that doesn't make it all equal. So, while what was done was unacceptable, by historic standards, I wouldn't call it extreme. That said, the subtlety of it did quite possibly make it atypically insidious.

Yeah, I've long tried to maximize simply pleasures, and minimize easy pleases.

I have opinions about nostr, but that's not why I'm here. Also, I assume they're not particularly informed or relevant, so I'll keep them to myself.

I was recently excited when I realized that I've gotten back to thinking that hour long podcasts are too short and shallow 🙂

With all due respect, it might be time for a detox. And that doesn't mean simply switching sources of short form content 😁

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but using nature as an artistic canvas almost always gives me similar vibes to those from the thought of using a beautiful woman's face as an artistic canvas for stereotypically shity face tattoos 🤣

While I often see eye to eye with your rants and associated assertions, a rule of thumb of mine is that: those who think the other side is the problem are generally part of the problem.

To me, the thought of having kids is about like the thought of marrying a guy; I just don't have either urge, I don't understand either urge, and I find the general idea of either to be profoundly unappealing and off-putting. And don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it's available for people who do want it, but for me, I have to assume that either would have costs me huge life opportunities that have meant the world to me, such as marrying my wife who has also never wanted kids.
While there are obviously exceptions, and different people have different priorities and perspectives, from the youngest of ages, almost all the adults I've known, almost all the parents I've known, seemingly live lives that consist of little more than bouncing between fulfilling biologically motivated urges, and meeting social requirements and expectations. And obviously there's nothing wrong with that, but I never saw the appeal, I've wanted more.
Many bitcoiners tell stories of when it clicked that the world at large is fucked and they could no longer simply "be normal and meet expectations". To me it never made sense or had any appeal, and I've always felt the same way about having kids.
All that said, while my life is "weird", and "quirky" by the stands of most, I love it. It's full of passion, joy, and meaning, and I wouldn't generally dare ask for anything more.

I'll keep that in mind for when I'm transported to a magical world where there's even just one person who's in no way annoying and never drives me bonkers 😂

I've been thinking of having a custom shirt made that'd simply say "I'm a bad person", in part to simplify the process and set expectations for new people I meet.

I'm honestly fascinated by the degree to which I totally identified with literally everything within one circle, saw a relationship with another circle, and didn't relate to the third.

How many overly enthusiastic autists does it take to make a well polished welcome committee?

I once had someone call me and say they were from my credit card company and wanted me to give them personal information to prove it was me, I refused for obvious reasons. I got them impression from the woman in the phone that that was the first time that happened. I eventually ended the call and called the number on my card. Turned out it really was them. So dumb to teach customers that they'll get official cold calls asking for personal info.

I don't usually see eye to eye with such people, but when she blamed the government....
I wonder if that bit of perspective in any way effects her thoughts on what role the government should play in society, how big it should be, or what it is or isn't capable of doing.

Seriously, she already thinks y'all put enough bad ideas in my head 😂

I want one too! But not as bad as I don't want to deal with the response I'd get from my wife 😂

Are you asking if we think they'll love us for who we are, and if not, if we should change for them?
My thought is that, if they don't appreciate our questionable memes and autist takes on... everything, then they don't deserve us!

For a moment I was relating and proud, then it crossed my mind that half of what you said is simply describing being an autist and I just stopped giving a fuck entirely.

I wonder how many people would, like with exercising, say that they don't like it, as if they've gone through and tried all of the options and individually ruled them out as being miserable and not worth the effort despite the benefits.

Is i about how you should be very worried, but you still need to go to work, raise your kids, pay your bills, and that sort of thing? I could get behind that!

Feeling like, when I interact with other people and their content, I'm not simply fulfilling my agreed upon role of supplying training data to huge ML models so that they can better productize me for sale in exchange for... the change to be annoyed by jackasses?

For work I use SolidWork, a $10k piece of software with $3k/year service fees given the bells and whistles that I use, and even at that price the built in web interface, pretty much everyday, defaults back to giving them permission to use tracking cookies to sell my data.

I like to think of our two dominant political parties as being the child siblings that individually tend to make a mess of things and be general pains in the ass, and when together tend to fight and make things even worse while constantly pointing fingers, blaming, and lying in order to get out of the trouble that they deserve to be in, neither of whom deserve the validation of being declared "right", or as being "the victim".

Simultaneously, I agree, and I have a lot of neighbors who are eye rollingly self righteous about how they're resisting this injustice or that when from my perspective they're just a bunch of jackasses 😁

The way most people are cool with generative AI until it effects them at which point they rationalize why it's different in that case doesn't bread a lot of sympathy in me. I wonder how I'll feel when it comes from my job 😂

This made me feel a new emotion: pitty for the sort of person who has a Lambo, but not the balls necessary to shoot it with fireworks from a helicopter while pulling donuts in the desert. Is there a German word for that? Seems like something they'd have.

Given all the things worthy of investing and reporting on, to think that this is towards the top of the list...

I assume that in time many nostr clients will go the way of most supermarkets or restaurants, offering and serving shit to those who will happily gobble it up, but I also assume that there'll always be some that, again like some restaurants and supermarkets, will take pride in offering something of quality.

Following that logic we should all be fit and healthy since we're all free to choose our own food, all of which is a base ingredient, or has an ingredient list on it.

hmmm, that's a tricky one, not to imply that you're wrong for looking at it that way or that I think this applies to you, but if person A has a 10% higher score than person B but lives an empty, soal sucking life, while person B lives a life full of love, meaning, and joy....
Maybe that's one of the trickiest parts of life, it's sufficiently complicated so that if you're doing a bad job, you almost innately won't have the perspective to recognize it.

If they end up with trails, and we end up with flying cars, I wonder how much they'll complain about how bad we are for using evil technology or something like that, vs. how much they'll complain about how bad we are for not sharing.

My first buy was poorly timed in '21, my first bear market was lame but gave me time to stack. The worst part was, in the moment not knowing if I deserved how cool my wife was with it all. Now we have, by our standards a meaningful amount of value and I'm not excited about inevitably watching it effectively get cut in half.

First time I heard your crazed ramblings was in the beginning of '19, but in that context you (and the other dude) mostly had digressions about moral compasses. But I think you also mentioned Bitcoin and I didn't listen!

My wife bought 2 dresses, one was a backup in case she didn't like the first. Totaled about $150.
Got married in a local park.
Used a big, borrowed Bluetooth speaker and borrowed Spotify account for music.
A family heirloom for a ring.
A friend excited took a bunch of nice pictures for free for fun and practice (we insisted on gave her a nice gift)
The all inclusive reception venue was a few grand.
It was awesome!
