Okay, this might not be as interesting to others as to me, but I at least found it very interesting how I just discovered old content without even realizing how old that content is:

So I was looking at the front page and have seen that Taking a sabbatical from Bitcoin FOSS has new comments.

The new comment was this one from @031ef7d322:

Not every form of Lightning DoS requires use of an IP address. Channel jamming and other attacks on liquidity, for example.

I thought:

mhh, that's a good point. @031ef7d322 seems to be knowledgeable about lightning attack vectors. Let's see what else they have posted.

So I went to their profile and found this comment, a quote of something:

he said to me, “the internet’s about routing money. Routing packets is a side effect, and you screwed up the money routing protocols.” And I said, “I didn’t design any money routing protocols…” And he said, “that’s what I said.”

That caught my interest. So I decided to see what this is about and clicked on parent.

mhmh, more interesting

Looking at the root item, I found out it's from the Weekend book recommendations post from 30 Sep. So over a month ago!

I also realized I already zapped some comments in that thread so I must have already seen it before, lol

But somehow, it caught my interest again and I think I really need to read this Designing the Internet book now. So I need to read Broken Money faster, lol

I also should mention a bizarre coincidence (?) Some people believe Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was oddly synced to the scenes of the film. It's pretty entertaining. Just go on YouTube and search Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz. Yes, we were pretty altered in the 70s.

Definitely looking into this!

24 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 14 Nov 2023

I'm no expert besides the fact that I watched the film once a year as a child. Dorothy turns to her dog Toto after the tornado knocks them into Oz and says "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." All the kids loved that line. Lots of iconic lines simply because it was a shared generational experience, I think.

Over the Veteran's Day weekend, I say a Trump flag and I realized that promoting politicians is a lot like promoting Bernie Madoff. Politicians make promises that they can't/won't keep; and so did Madoff. But at least Bernie Madoff isn't responsible for killing other people (unlike all US presidents).

You don't see anyone putting up signs saying "Madoff did nothing wrong," but you will see signs saying that some failed presidential candidate is the real president.

went to a small town to do some digging and learning, then got invited for dinner and then breakfast from some Turkish mums on the first day when I was randomly walking around.

It feels like things like this only happen in Turkey, and feel safe at the same time 😳

another interesting cultural difference!

Turkish people often introduce the whole family early on, even just friends, like you would get to hang out with their parents or grandparents! While I've been friends with people from different countries and yet never seeing parents is the norm 😳 and ofc both have good and bad sides, and it's nice to get to experience it and reflect.

Like foreigners using the Spanish term ‘Hola!’ as a form of cultural appropriation. (This type of thought speak was even dropped in the recent Barbie movie when a father of a mixed-race child was called an embarrassment for trying to learn his wife’s second language.)

Oh and don't get me started about cultural appropriation, lol

I was once asked by someone that's close to me if it's okay if they wear traditional clothes of my country to a traditional party of my country

Damn, that started an argument about cultural appropriation, lol

I was bewildered that they asked me first

I know what you mean, I encountered similar things with gender pronouns.

For me, it seems to mostly just be patronism. They want to help a group by protecting it since they feel they are in the minority and thus need protection.

I tried to argue that I think these groups can speak for themselves and it's mostly virtue signaling if everyone starts to change their language to accommodate them. I think that makes the situation even worse for them since they will be the scapegoat of the public. "We need to change our language because of them?!"

But I am not sure if the majority of the minority even wants to be treated specially.

If someone changes their language to not hurt me, I would be pretty pissed lol

Don't you want to be treated like everyone else? Isn't that what equality is about? Not that everyone gets their special rights?

72 sats \ 4 replies \ @Public_N_M_E 13 Nov 2023

My time in the military they called them press ups, because it is a pressing motion. But push ups works in civvie street because well... You are pushing up... But I guess the press part of it comes from the motion similar to a chest press/bench press. Like you mentioned they're pretty interchangeable.

74 sats \ 0 replies \ @bitcointerest 13 Nov 2023

I've never really questioned this before. I've always accepted push ups as the term one uses when pushing his body up and down, Lol. I think both press up and push up is self explanatory to be honest. If you use any one of those terms in a conversation, the person will instinctively know what you're talking about.
