The left does tend to be kind of whiny these days. I have some memory of it once being different but I can’t be sure. It might just be my own politics that caused my perceptions to change.
reply
Even when I was substantially more sympathetic to the left, I found conservative talk radio more entertaining than anything they had, except for The Daily Show.

Mhh, it's marked as deleted in the database. 🤔
@k00b, not sure how this happened since we have a check that bios can't be deleted but I guess @Natalia managed to delete her bio anyway in some way. Can you revert that?
why are you still awake
it happens

I remembered I was testing and I did delete it, but then once I edited it again and the bio came back ( it was quite funny ), but now can't do this anymore. 👀

There is a space in Argentina called "Aleph" (if you've ever read Borges): A movement transforming Argentina into the world's first crypto nation.
They organized an event in many venues of Buenos Aires instead of doing them in one place, and you can pay with bitcoin (and crypto) in all of them.

I might had a pivotal moment in my life yesterday:
I realized that being @undisciplined is not binary. You can be @undisciplined without going full @undisciplined. Never go full @undisciplined.
To be specific, this means that when I have hunger after the time I wanted to stop eating (intermittent fasting), I don't just eat how much of whatever I like, but focus on eating just enough so I think about something else again.
Or just because I got up late, it doesn't mean I can now slack off all day.
I love these life lessons that sound obvious after you spelled them out.
reply
when I have hunger after the time I wanted to stop eating
One hack is to brush your teeth after meals ( better do this after 30 mins ) , then low chance you want to eat anything after.
and back to your life lesson -- yes, e,g,. people think if you don't have a job, then you will sleep all the time or whatever, but NO, I have a way more productive life without a fixed schedule.

How do you manage to respond or channel these comments in an educated manner? I read it and I just want to insult her, really, how the hell do people who have never in their miserable lives gone hungry, have not lived in communism, have freedom of expression to say stupid things, like to go shopping compulsively, use social networks that belong to white people and wild capitalists... how do they expect to know more than people who do live in communism? I can't stand them. That's why I don't like using social networks, but at this moment using X has been a necessary evil. I didn't respond to that woman, I preferred to comment on this on SN

#Ph-SN017 Orange Sunset 🌇🍊
Continuing with my contest to dust off my gallery, looking for the many photos 🖼️ that I have taken and have managed to save, to carry out my personal challenge of publishing a photo taken by me every day until I reach 10,100,1000.
I have noticed the following, I love sunsets and coincidentally on many occasions they are orange skies with other colors, but you strongly find orange or yellow 🍊⚡ for me they are obvious signs of my sixth sense showing me the way of Bitcoin long before taking the orange pill to Wake Up, get to know Bitcoin and really see how the world works around me once you put on the glasses with laser eyes 🤩

A friend of mine’s wife lost her job and they completely depleted their savings trying to cover bills
Then out the blue I get this text:
I was thinking of putting alil money into cripto I was ganna ask if you know anything about Solana or XRP if I should get some while it's low cuz we need money and if this market bounce back I could make something
Then I realized how many across the world are in this same situation and looking to shitcoins to make a quick buck.
Trying to steer them clear they asked if they can do this with bitcoin I said no because bitcoin can tank 25% in a few hours and you will be in a worse position then you started.
Hoping they pull through but it’s tough out there people and shitcoins look like a way out when you are just being fooled.

Can’t check the db right now but yes, you might need a manual update, too.
However, I thought we fixed it for all bios at once using a query like this:
UPDATE "Item" SET "deletedAt" = NULL WHERE "bio"

You wrote the migration. It should be editable iirc even if it says deleted

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 2 Sep
Oh, I only fixed that some items weren't marked as bios even though they should, see this PR.
Will add a PR which runs the query above since bios should never be deleted.
It should be editable iirc even if it says deleted
Why should this be the case? It's not because of this line which makes sense imo.
update: PR up
Yes.. I was thinking that too.

A good person can feel remorse even in front of a dog.
Anton Chekhov
But what can one say about some modern psychotherapies that try to "sanitize" us from any kind of guilt, lest our self, which we must take care of above all else, suffers... I believe that today's reduced empathy in society has been greatly reinforced by these psychological prompts you find everywhere!
Chekhov died in 1904, at the age of 44, leaving behind a universe of such delicate great Art.

Resistance

Although the word resistance can refer to the ability to not be affected by something or someone, usually adversely, within the legal world it means something else.
Resistance also refers to the “refusal to accept”, or comply with, something or someone, usually in the way of an order, rule or instruction.
However resistance is not required when there is no contract or agreement in place to the implied requirement to begin with, but the act of resisting now creates the obligation to comply.
