One of the mistakes I see made with long form posts is that they aren't very conversational. They're written like they're blogs - broadcasts. That's fine if you're really uncovering some shit or teaching something, but the choir wants to sing with you not hear another sermon.

I think I agree with you.

What would be an ideal post for you? Curious to hear your thoughts.

For conversational posts @elvismercury's posts are some of the best examples imo along with @Undisciplined @siggy47 @Scoresby @supertestnet and many others.

Some of my favorite broadcast/blog-type ones are from @mallardshead. @Natalia @runningbitcoin @darthcoin do great guide-style posts and many others as well. @jimmysong does great bitcoin philosophy ones that are as much conversational as they are essays. @davidw would also do great conversational broadcast-style posts.

It's a spectrum and the difference is sometimes subtle but you know it when you see it. The best across both categories share a kind of care for the reader - helping them learn or getting them up to speed before starting a conversation.

how about comment while reading? like right there you can just comment, got something like this in Medium, then you can stop and sing for a bit.

I've never seen those kind of highlight comments (aka annotations) really takeoff. I suspect it's one of those things that sounds better in theory than it really is.

but you still need to go down to the comment area then come back continue to read, which is annoying for long posts.

am I the only one think the gun and horse thing right next to the nym is a bit weird? I guess it's probably a cowboy-theme thing, but not sure if it's a good idea if SN want to attract bigger crowds. 👀

Do a lot of people hate horses?

0 sats \ 9 replies \ @Natalia 20 Oct

I like horses, but it's wired seeing it next to the nym, then gun 😮‍💨 seems violent and a bit distracting.

Guns aren't violent, people are violent. :)

We need a redesign, I agree, but the badges will stay. We just need to figure out how best to show them.

--> violent people use guns 👀

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 21 Oct

Of course, non-violent people do, too. Non-violent people use them when NAP is being violated. They have every right to use them to lethal consequence under those conditions. I can only hope that they have proper “gun control”.

Proof of friendship. A close buddy in the neighborhood is likely going to get a divorce. Had some drinks and a good chat with him.

Glad you were able to take the time with him and get him out of whatever he was feeling.

Yeah he also has two young boys like me and they live a few houses down. I’m a child of divorce and know some of the emotional baggage that can go with that.

Everyone lives in their own invisible cage, it’s called comfort, and only a few dare to keep pushing it.

Like pushing it to a discomfort or danger, uncharted territory? Why would anyone do that?

How the Game is Played

Before entering into a conversation with anyone, understand what they are trying to do. They are trying to get you to consent and enter into a contract. It’s that simple.

It is very important to remember: everything that happens to you, throughout your life,requires your consent. Without consent, it is a crime.

In other words, the entire global system needs you to consent and enter into an agreement before you are issued with any punishment, such as imprisonment or fines.

It does not matter who is talking to you; whether it is someone from a corporation, local government, or even the police. They all need your consent to act against you.

Without your consent, they are powerless to act.
