I trust this will ultimately make Nostr stronger but still mildly annoying.

Tucker Carlson’s recent episode with Calley and Casey Means was an excellent introduction to an outrageous situation.
More people are starting to think about how modern food is poisoning us and how the government has been co-opted to enable it: a tragedy and scandal of unbelievable proportions.

You’d probably like the The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss.

Fair enough. Do you recommend a better term to succinctly refer to the people who occupy positions of disproportionate power and influence as the word “elites” is colloquially used?

2024-08-26 15:32:00

Whoa, read this note and it kinda gave me a lightbulb 💡 moment about the recent political messaging branding opponents as “weird” — weird means, at the risk of being pedantic, not “normal,” i.e. not one of us or not someone who complies with our group’s shared norms and behaviors.
It’s a way to tacitly compel the masses into compliance with the collective control apparatus (defined/directed by elites of course).
If society is sick, it’s healthy to be weird.

Random Idea: Use IFTTT (or a FOSS alternative or even a mechanical mechanism) to have the activation of a home alarm system trigger a smart outlet powering your computer to turn off, forcing the computer into a first boot, full disk encryption state.

First, they couldn’t check me in without a phone number 🤬 I almost walked right out on principle but instead made up a phone number and name (which I almost didn’t remember to respond to when they called for me 🤦‍♂️)
Then the payment terminal suggested tip options were the equivalent of 45, 55, & 65% of the original bill. Ridiculous! Yeah, no, I’m paying cash and giving a normal tip amount.
