Last Notes npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I thought you were smart enough to understand that the people admitted to universities are not chosen based on test scores. Legacy admissions give an advantage over acceptances many times over what affirmative counter balanced. Show me the test scores of the people admitted and not just of people applying. I’m sure you understand the difference. And I’m sure you’re also aware the privileged class are specifically advantaged and have foreknowledge and tutoring to score well in entrance tests. Compare the Harvard test scores against double blind general aptitude and intelligence tests and you will see different results. Did you watch the video I linked? Beau gets what you don’t. Your motivated reasoning is working against objectivity and against your own interests should you or someone you know apply to Harvard. The black guy didn’t bump you from your spot at Harvard, 6 other legacy applicants with poorer test scores did that. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You’re selecting data from one single university. Where is the information about legacy applicants? Affirmative action pales in comparison. https://youtu.be/E-QDbGvVcHM npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Your assumption that test scores are the determining factor is incorrect. Affirmative action reduced white applicants with inferior test scores to be admitted over people of colour with superior test scores. Even with affirmative action, it still happened, it just happened less. People of privilege and family history with a university are favoured, and they are overwhelmingly white. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Why would you think that? Sometimes a person is busy and doesn’t have time to engage with the least desirable people he encounters. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It achieves the opposite. It allows discrimination based on race. The ruling eliminates the requirement to systemically avoid it. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout As a typical politician, he doesn’t stand for anything. He does what his donors tell him to do. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You’re making it clear you were played. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout History?

Interesting article. I’m actually quite familiar with all of those issues, but haven’t found them to be as painted. That is a theoretical possibility rather than common or inevitable. I will say that it can be a bit of work to stay compliant with modern protocols if you’re managing several mail servers. But I think the author is being a little disingenuous. I don’t believe he’s never had spam run through his stuff. A block doesn’t only come from email. A hacked website or other compromised/misbehaving services from a IP can impact in the same way. Yeah, keep your tools clean. He also gloss over some stuff that makes me think he was late implementing some practices. I think he isn’t as pure as he states. Also, some of what he said doesn’t apply to the big players. It’s more likely another privately hosted email service, like a small business with an understaffed IT department. They are the idiots who permanently block large ranges of IPs. Fast and easy. Not smart. This is a small problem, not a big one. I do agree, email servers aren’t for the lax. But if you want independence, this is the way. https://media.gleasonator.com/1ce18f09d30708a09c768e43f2f164c946a94cc220ac939917929ba2c874bd20.png npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout And if everyone agrees to not bid on properties? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout And then you don’t need banks anymore. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Why is self hosting email a mess? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It happens because grandma stops cooking. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Did Elon make a female clone of himself? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Alexander the Great couldn’t grow a beard, so he required all of his soldiers to shave their face. And lice. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Has that ever happened anywhere? I don’t mean respect from an individual developer, but from the whole team behind any one project. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout They don’t need clothing?

He can fly. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I get how important that is and nostr solves it. But I’m talking about regular people. Most of them will see the identifier and be put off by it and not look deeper. That’s quite a bit of friction against adoption. I’m not enough of a coder to even conceive of a solution. But from far outside, couldn’t there be a way for a user to essentially sign their name/nick/handle on every post? Is that strictly a client side thing? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Sure. But that’s the one that matters to the people. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It won’t win for one stupid superficial reason. Nicks. It just FUXKing won’t. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Ok. So. Arguing about shit that is easily looked up makes all y’all look silly. The Fed isn’t complicated to understand. The federal reserve system was set up to be autonomous and be isolated from day to day political pressures. There is a governing board that is appointed by the president and approved by the senate. This board together with the 12 regional federal reserve bank presidents conduct monetary policy. The 12 regional federal reserve banks are private corporations and elect their own boards where some appointments are by that bank branch and some are either approved by or are from the board of governors. Part of the mandate of the banks is to provide information back to the board of Governors to use for setting monetary policy. The 12 banks run themselves independently as private business with their main mandate being to provide payment services to banks, supervise and regulate banks, and execute monetary policy. The 12 banks are self funding and any profit (they make a lot actually) is sent to the US treasury. Isn’t there a god damned grammar rock song that explains this shit? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout That’s what I’m saying. To be good at math you have to be good at language. And because the question asked “how”, it seems obvious the student was exactly correct and that the intent of the question was to tease out the fact the pizzas were not equal in size. If I was the student, I’d visit the principal over this. Back in my day there was an answer key for teachers to make sure teachers didn’t make stupid mistakes. Budget cuts! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It appears to me an expectation that some coin will be needed to run a useful/searchable decentralized network, hence a BGS that bigger players would run (maybe like ISP level). npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout He’s always rewriting the origin story of companies he buys into making himself the founder. At some point, he won’t even have parents anymore. He’ll have originated his family too. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Good at math has to also mean good at language. A math teacher taught me that. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I’ve adopted a policy of apologizing right up front for future moments when I might misgender. I tell them I always intend to gender correctly, and that when I make a mistake it’s not intentional or me rejecting their preference. It’s me struggling with decades of default language habits wired up in my head. Depending who it is I might throw a joke in like “could ‘sexy’ be a pronoun? I could switch to that for everyone pretty easily.” Anyway, they understand. If they see the effort and intent, they’ve all been pretty happy. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Could you provide some information about your OS and the errors? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout The thing I was referring to there was actually an April first “joke” where Alex converted everyone’s nick to appear like nostr nicks even if it wasn’t a nostr account. I admit I thought at first he broke something by accident, not noticing the date. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It’s a problem. Stuff is too clean now.

But he will. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It gets you free room and board for a long effing time. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Then why did Spielberg replace the guns with radios at the end of E.T. during the flying bicycles scene? “Stop kid, I’m pointing my walkie talkie at you!” npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout First, I wish you all the happiness. All of it. Second, I thought you were gay #[0], I guess I just read that on the internet. Third, I'm digging that longer hair. Fourth, Fourth should be spelled Forth, the best language ever. Fifth, I'm stalling trying to remember the joke I had in my head when I was 12 feet away from my keyboard. Sixth, I give up trying to remember. All the best stranger(s). npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout >But you should, like, know what the science actually says, because it’s different from what the activists say the science says. So you would retract that statement which states activists says something different from science and does not qualify with *sometimes*. For the record, I always trace down the original source of statements about science and read those. Far too often both left and right cherry pick and get it wrong. Is this on purpose? It's definitely lazy. They see what they want and grab that bit and run with it. I'd like to think the two of us will be better than that. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You're the one who said read the science and not what 'activists' say the science says. The same goes for you. Link to science, not an article from someone else. That's all I'm pointing out here. I'm holding you to your standard. Because I love you. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout first >know what the science actually says, because it’s different from what the activists say the science says next > This article Where you link to a publication of a conservative think tank which is not what scientists say. But your greatest sin, my friend, is hijacking joke time in an unrelated thread! And I, as your enabler, am also guilty. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout listen to all of them. don't just cherry pick what supports your position. and maybe say that in a relevant thread instead of ruining joke time! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout OK? like, if you don't want to get laid, don't take his advice! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout lol. She thinks she's a great thinker. "oculus repairus" npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout what does that have to do with getting laid? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Listen to that man. He gets laid. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I don't remember how many weeks the woman in the article was I read that prompted research into non womb viability of a fetus. The short version is the baby survived, the mother didn't. I thought it was fascinating it could happen at all. Guiness Book of Records includes things they have verified. So while it's possible this could have been a non womb fetus beyond 33 weeks, if Guiness didn't verify it, it wouldn't be included in their records book. But this doesn't matter. 33 weeks is well into viability for a baby to survive. I was probably sloppy earlier in what I said about developing to term where I meant to say to viability. Apologies for that. Our discussion started with me making a joke about being willing to fund womb transplants into men if it meant annoying anti trans people. There is no expectation from me this would actually happen. But if you're going to say "not something anyone should strive for", I'll take exception. If someone wants to do such research, and they get private funding to do it, I see no reason to stop them. Living in a free society means they get to do it. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout where do you get the longest one was 33 weeks? and yes, they rarely attach properly. I've said it's rare/uncommon (I forget what word I used). But to be clear, this is not common. The point is the fetus developed and was not starved by nutrients. If blood supply is adequate, the fetus develops. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout ectopic isn't exclusive to just being inside the fallopian tubes. It has happened where they have attached somewhere else undetected and have grown to term. this is obviously not common. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I am not familiar with this blindspot ground news thing. I will check it out. I like checking things out. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Listen. I've tasted most of the cocks of the coders I know and only 2 tasted like shit. So most aren't fags! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Definitely nerd shit, but people who aren’t fags at all use it. I suppose their sexuality hasn’t ever been determined. He can read up on PEG too. Why not? Sanity has already been lost. But the reason to read up is so you realize you aren’t going to fool any but the most simple minded bots. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Maybe read up on regex. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You should live stream your approach. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout They needed a bad guy is why he’s the bad guy. :p. So he was the bad guy. Basically a long term foe of one of the main characters. He thought he was awesome, but felt he fell short because he didn’t have “the force”. So he was making clones of himself that would have it. Stupid sounding, but yeah, Star Wars is basically stupid stuff all around. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout They’ve done tests with primates where they implanted an embryo into a male (against the stomach lining if memory serves) and let it grow through the first trimester. At that point they aborted the fetus and checked for proper development, which was normal to that point. This was done because there have been cases with women where an ectopic pregnancy attaches outside the womb but isn’t detected and the fetus develops all the way to term. All the fetus appears to need is an adequate blood supply on a large enough surface. The fetus is amazing. Crazy stuff. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout No forest near me. That must be wonderful. This one time, I was desperate, and I found a space between a friend's garage and a fence. I thought it was perfect. Then a woman chased me with a broom and told my mom. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I mean like, I think I was 40 before I couldn't hold it anymore and had to use a public facility. Be warned people, you get older and you lower your standards! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Moff Gideon? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout The only value (to me) in such research is to piss people off, as my joke was kind of obvious in stating. And I did mention it would mean death for the man. Womb research would clearly have to include any other body modifications required. The uterus is fucking amazing. We should all have one. Let's make that law! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout To be serious, you’re aware that organ transplant doesn’t happen with healthy poor young people. It’s something we do after someone tragically loses their life. But I’m happy to experiment with pig wombs. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout No serious effort has ever been made to do that. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Why would you undress in a public washroom? Are you George Costanza? I don’t expect you (i do expect it from others) to get what I said that wrong. I think I pretty clearly stated my preferred space had a more private toilet space combined with an open area for hand washing. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You know, men actually can become pregnant. Not the old fashioned way of course. Give a fetus a source of blood, and it will grow. But the train takes themselves out since without a womb, delivery means death. I’m willing to donate to womb transplant research just to piss off anti trans people. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You certainly do. :) npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout So you're talking about the corporate world. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout They can let their freak flag fly as far as I'm concerned. I personally appreciate so much less beige. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Nope. The war is with batshit crazy people and those who manipulate them. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout The black boots are sexier and than the others. What’s going on there? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Put toothpaste on the next dick you put in your mouth and see if that’s where the problem is. Science! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You still have all the books of the past that are all about that vanilla. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Scared or not is a personal experience. Some are scared. Some aren’t. Some can definitely be at a higher risk of death and taking simple precautions reduces that, with a vaccine being one of those. Scared or not, doing that reduces your odds of death. Make your choice. Deadly for 1% of the population was pretty much true. Less now due to a decent amount of immunity. No one needs to fear monger or deny. The virus will continue exist and evolve. It doesn’t care about your politics. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I think it's swell to hire a person to do that. That's better for the local economy. And also, why should they get my labour free? I might consider it if they gave me a discount for using self checkout. That discount also benefits the local economy. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout We've had all kinds of covid variants. It ain't done. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-variants-bar?country=USA~GBR~ESP~ZAF~ITA~DEU~FRA~CAN~BEL~AUS npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout In school it was clearly explained to me I need to bring enough for everyone. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I used to find tom cats fighting for mating rights endlessly fascinating. And look, the ginger is winning! How often do ginger men get to say that? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout um, haven't we all defeated bowser? where's my cut? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Thanks. I had done that actually. And there was until um, sept last year if I'm remember correctly. A lot of what shows up is in json, but some is text. I have no idea when that screen shot was from and will never figure out its context. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout So it looks like Garrett Foster was not a leftist, but instead was a right wing Air Force veteran. Libertarian anti-authoritarian right. Will Abbott still pardon the killer of a right wing veteran? It doesn’t play to the narrative he can get away with in Texas. I’m curious to see what he’ll now do. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SXTk1A3nqQM npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout could they at least properly cook that fucking mess! npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout You cannot perceive what you claim your infinite god can perceive. You are the one that has no basis since you rely on what you cannot perceive. I do have a basis. I create it. Every day. Do you have the voice of your god in your head telling you what is moral? How do you dare speak for him? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout A pure sovereign infinite wouldn’t give many shits about the stain on the callous of their left pinky, let alone the more insignificant us. Humans create morality. It’s always evolving. Hopefully for the better. I trust a humanist way before a theist to have a good set of morals. But also, as a human, I can evaluate this for myself. I don’t need an outside authority. Merely a critical thinking brain that is open to study all the things. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout If it isn’t god, it’s nothing? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout They know the anti trans numbers are small in comparison, and the vocal ones are even smaller. You said yourself most won’t bother to boycott. All this attention results in more people buying their products in the short term. In the long term, it’s probably not even a blip. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout These companies have done the math. They know they’ll bring in more money than they’ll lose supporting trans people. It’s not a moral position for them. It’s a financial calculation. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout Twitter's definition of state-affiliated is not correct for NPR. "State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution." from wikipedia: "While NPR does not receive any direct federal funding, it does receive a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce.[34] This funding amounts amounted to less than 0.1% of revenues, according to its 2020 public filings." 2020 public filing: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/display_990/520907625/download990pdf_09_2021_prefixes_45-52%2F520907625_202009_990_2021090318819316 This is all just Elon's small dick issue.

This is interesting. The image in the tweet from the author back to NPR doesn't show the word falsely either. I guess it was changed after the fact. https://media.gleasonator.com/0dab1d17ced6b0b7816d8e99fea14e365f607c62d48391a036fcb9e2a65b55f1.png npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout So why does this iceman fellow want to remove the falsely from the npr headline? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout #[0] are you up? npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout It may be the job of a zen Buddhist to suggest adding @mostr.pub to that. But you know, seems a little aggressive for zen Buddhist. npub1h08py28tnu9j94gmsphkkvrfs99qykqp5amefwylzuwqhqh7h3yqnxlyk8 leftout I clearly don’t know the specifics and I wouldn’t expect you to post them. But you must know that while you are confident it wasn’t illegal, it was clearly actionable by health professionals. Wouldn’t that mean you were deemed a threat to yourself or others? Do you know what to avoid going forward?
