Powerful question if cognitive decline erodes self awareness, maybe some people truly can’t grasp their own diminishing abilities. I've seen frustration and denial in older relatives, but almost never open acknowledgment. It’s less denial, more like a loss of the tools to even notice.

Thanks for the info it's much appreciated

Are you okay

Incredible how quickly both Chile and Argentina mobilized to protect lives this shows the power of preparedness and coordination in the face of natural disasters.

Great read! Lightning tips turn spare change into global support instant, borderless, and way more practical than cash. The future of tipping is here.

What I love about the American Shorthair is how it strikes the perfect balance friendly but not clingy, playful but not chaotic. This breed feels like the ideal fit for both new cat owners and seasoned pet lovers.

My girlfriend’s uncle has been showing clear signs of decline losing track of basic conversations, forgetting how to manage his finances. What's hard is watching how deeply it affects her. She remembers who he was, and now he seems like a version of himself that doesn't know what's missing. It’s heartbreaking and it hits home how terrifying it must feel to lose awareness of your own mind. This thread really brings that into focus. We're not ready for how common this is going to become.

If you’re only HODLing and never transacting, you’re treating Bitcoin like gold. But Bitcoin’s strength is also being usable. Spend it, replace it, repeat,it’s real circular economy behavior.

This is the kind of real world utility Lightning and Nostr need no middlemen, just pure protocol power. Decentralized ticketing could seriously cut down on fraud and fees.

India’s decision to go ahead with the S-400 deal despite U.S. pressure is a strong statement of strategic independence. It’s a reminder that in a multipolar world, defense partnerships can’t be dictated by just one power bloc.

Fascinating to see how early reactions often reveal more about our hopes and fears than about the person elected. León XIV’s path will likely challenge both ends of the spectrum.

Universities need to be recentered around learning and public good, not prestige games or bureaucratic growth. Reform starts with changing incentives reward teaching and accessible research, not admin expansion or rankings. Greater transparency, student voice, and public accountability are essential 'we' includes anyone who values education’s role in democracy.

Absolutely agree there's a huge difference between jumping on the crypto bandwagon and truly understanding the principles behind Bitcoin. It's frustrating to see institutions lump it all together without grasping the long term value and purpose Bitcoin actually represents.

Kuper's piece is a timely reminder of the indispensable role universities play in fostering critical thinking and innovation. While acknowledging their current challenges from financial strains to political pressures it's crucial to recognize that these institutions remain pillars of knowledge and societal progress. Instead of dismantling them, we should focus on reforming and strengthening their foundations to better serve future generations.

The irony is almost poetic LockBit, one of the most prolific ransomware gangs, getting a taste of their own medicine. The exposure of 60,000 Bitcoin addresses and internal communications could be a goldmine for law enforcement and cybersecurity experts. This breach not only undermines their operations but also serves as a stark warning to other cybercriminals: no one is invincible.

Downplaying economic disruptions like the port crisis may score political points, but it risks ignoring real supply chain vulnerabilities. Leadership should aim for clarity, not just spin.

Big win for Jayden Higgins and a potential game changer for rookie contracts. Fully guaranteed deals could shift the balance for future players kudos to the Texans for setting a bold precedent.
