There are people looking down on you, but that shouldn’t bring you down. There are people looking up to you, and you should let that lift you up.

Theory: Dude, is boxing day called boxing day because you box up your christmas decorations?

Reality: "Boxing Day was once a day to donate gifts to those in need, but it has evolved to become a part of Christmas festivities, with many people choosing to shop for deals on Boxing Day"

I was trying to read something in a guide of yours @DarthCoin and the "Substack" gives me this error. Anyone else having this problem?? Can I access your guides @DarthCoin from another source?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 3h

I wonder how you end up in that wrong link. You realize that is substack.com/about and not darthcoin.substack.com/about

Anyways, I stop updating the substack writing. Only on github now.

Great work usually involves some self-destruction. I'd guess it only really becomes a problem if you make self-destruction a habit you indulge in it as "leisure."

Yesterday I zapped a lot and no reward?

It's happened a couple of times.

Thank you for letting me cry here. 😭

You get rewarded for zapping things other people zap/will zap. The goal is to reward people for making SN better.

Most folks primarily zap people for talking to them, people that compliment them, some banal drama that excites them, or mediocre things that they don't read well enough to realize they are mediocre and/or ai slop.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @OgFOMK 6h

Wow! That makes perfect sense and I do believe that I've read that somewhere around here or at least the intention.

I get it. It's basically the longest chain is the truth.

Thank you for explaining this.

Something weird is happening with the leaderboard. What do you need to do to get on it? I've spent over 400 sats and nothing. That's odd.

Thanks

32 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 16h

You replied to the answer. It's not only about how much you zap. It's what you zap (is it so good other people will zap it?) and when (earlier is better).

Maybe we will remove the leaderboard. It seems to be causing a lot of anxiety for folks.

I guess I meet these requirements, but your answer is a bit unclear. Thanks for your help though.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @OgFOMK 6h

I get what @koob is communicating.

If you zap and no one else zaps then it's probably just a friendly zap.
If you zap and a bunch of other people zap the same thing then it is financially voted as good content and being the early person to see good content you are rewarded for your keen observation.

I hope this makes sense.

The data is good I like that but we don’t need to give rewards for using sn? I agree you should get your splits on referral and territory but just for using sn I don’t think it’s needed

I think this begrudging "@anon" is referring to old disagreements about deleting content where you mentioned this:

Free from parenting responsibilities today. Had dessert with my ex-student and had fun catching up on her recent happenings. She is going to start up her own organisation based on her lived experiences with cancer. Wow. She was also empathetic to my parenting struggles, assuring me that they are normal because I am altering my identity. Such a succinct and profound truth. I think I will remember these words for time to come.

This is new news? If you were in the military, you should know all about it. They drum it into your head in the most forceful way possible. Also, what to do at certain times of the day for the flag, how to fold and salute it. As a civilian, I can ignore most of it but to see the fringed flag at school board and city board meetings is a blood boiler.

i have been calling my boomer friend dumb, stupid, retarded, a coward, etc. for not studying this material, i.e. for not going beyond bitcoin NGU-ism. i repeatedly apologize. last week he finally started paying a little bit more attention.

however, he says "how about u study all this, so that i don't have to, then give me the summary." omfg! i do not mind the research, but maybe i cud get some help or real encouragement?

anyways, now i have an acquaintance who is a battered woman, being genuinely interested in freedom education, so thank God for that at least.

the bitcoin meetup folks are intolerant of my freedom pills collectively, but one-on-one they are willing to listen a little bit. the tiny local so-called "freedom community" - forget it, they are pro-freedom in-name-only.

more pain is required in order for the masses to take action, maybe.
