Footnotes are one of the itchiest things to implement when the 'preview' is the editor itself.

I don't like footnotes. Especially on SN. Are fucking tiny!

I would get blind in 5 seconds. edit: maybe a screenshot wasn't the best idea to represent how little characters are

I am 54 years old man, with 30 years looking into a fucking monitor. Let's not forget the early years of "computerism" with those big fucking radiation monitors flickering and messing with our eyes... Young kids don't know how this was affecting our eyes forever.

Looking into a mobile screen for me is a pain. btw if you see one of my comments with a lot of misspelling ... is because I had to use a mobile (mostly when I get to shit).

I listened to the audiobook version of JBP's Maps of Meaning earlier this year. Yesterday, finished watching the 13-part series of him doing lectures on this at Harvard in 1996. As I was finishing up the series, the first episode of the new Maps of Meaning lectures dropped ... guess I'll be going through this material for the third time 🤓

Imagine a political movement actually being worried about losing Jewish support if money and Mossad weren't involved.

Me encanta esta sección ya que me ayuda a reflexionar sobre mi día a día es como un diario solo que no es privado pero te ayuda a desahogarte ya que le cuentas a quien sabe que que estás aquí que existes y quien sabe si te animas o animas, a veces me rio de cosas que leo y en otros casos reflexciono.

i certainly wud call ur posts "delectable" or "delicious" in the same way that a Satan (hebrew shatan - adversary) wud call his sayings delicious; ur posting is an abhomnation (literally, away-from-man);

@Darthcoin, so what am i supposed to do, just start my own just territory (literally call it that) and start talking about Lex Rex and shit on wrong-thinkers? i suppose that is a decent approach, then scour other territories for contributors;

also, how is the metaphorical ~DeathStar coming along? u gonna be able to zap users into oblivion?

I don't understand what you are trying to achieve or do and why do you call me in this. If you want to spend your sats (like you did with that useless boost) on a new territory, go ahead, it's your choice.

As silly as it may sound, this video made me understand how liquidity works much better than any other explanation or analogy. I read a lot about it, and in just a few seconds of video everything I had read became clear in my mind. Now my next challenge is to learn how to manage that liquidity.

Just finished reading Geoffrey West's "Scale", which people have commented on here before. It was very interesting in regards to cities and urbanization, but the last chapter was a bit anti-climactic because I kept expecting him to discuss AI more prominently. He brings up Kurzweil and The Singularity, but he seemed pessimistic about it at the time. The book was published in 2017, so I guess that's to be expected. I wonder what he would add now that AI is taking off.
