Tired and pensative.

On the plus side, i'm starting a road trip tomorrow, so "pensative" sets the right vibe. Not so sure about "tired" though.

Thinking about this:

The biggest threat to Google Search is Reddit.

How do I post images here on SN? I was going to post a picture of some fertiliser getting spread on my farm back in Australia yesterday. But I can't figure out how to.

The image above shared by gmd is formatted like this:

And yields this:

So if i wanted to share a picture from my phone I'd have to upload somewhere on the web first?

reply

https://PostImages.org is fantastic for that.

reply

Unfortunately yes. Been meaning to add native support but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Regarding El Salvidor bitcoin / Bukeke, this was posted recently:

#97082

There was a similar list on bitcoin reddit too: https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/z1br1e/if_you_think_el_salvador_hurt_its_people_at_all/

I want ES to succeed but is this political astroturfing?

What is the real real situation in ES? Anyone been there lately.

reply

haha, I just noticed this when I came to post in this thread. I think we already resolved this in the other thread, but good job being vigilant even if this one was a false alarm.

I actually went over & made a Reddit account just to invite that guy over here. He's too "based" to write on Reddit.

Vietnam war. Returning GIs grew the beards they weren’t allowed in the army. And more broadly non mil regulation grooming became a counter cultural trend.

Lol bring back the muttonchops

Anyone have any idea why p and q were let go by Bitcoin Magazine? Are they bear market salary cuts or something else going on?

reply

I think I heard on Marty Bent's podcast that they were laying off some staff, probably due to bear market woes.

reply

Wondering the same. Extremely saddening as that was one of my daily go-to’s.

Anyone have any experience playing on Lightning-Poker.com? I'd like to try to setup a consistent and recurring Stacker News Poker Night, or afternoon, or morning I guess, depending on time zones.

Count me in for this!

Today I am preparing breath-based meditation classes to calm the panics of Bitcoin newbies. I have already read a few pages of the book Bitcoin Redpill.

I am humbly accumulating sats.

What's going on with the Qatar world cup... If the stadium tells u not to show PDA then don't and watch the game, if the government is a retrograde in things then DON'T visit... Why force change everyone to your liking... Hate this crystal generation that get offended and want to force feed you their beliefs

reading through comments in this thread just reminds me it's sometimes hard to distinguish far left from far right...

reply

Interesting... What about these comments reveal a "right" or "left"? It seems like they are just pointing out that nation states all across the world commit horrific crimes. We just choose to focus on some, and give others a casual pass

reply

Is this also astroturfing? Qatar is a corrupt government that is wayy behind on human rights. Everyone should be able to do what they want unless it infringes on others.

reply

Western liberalism = forcing your beliefs on everyone and calling those who disagree a bigot 🤣

reply

Yeah, that's why I didn't go there.

No beers, no parties, no fun.

No wonder the stadiums are half empty...

The matches have been great though!

reply

If we banned all sporting events in countries with ANY human rights violations, we would no longer have any sporting events. 🤣🤣

reply

Never said banning it though.

Happy to see the world cup on TV, just not happy to travel there with all their restrictions.

Exactly American “wars” have killed so many innocent people yet people love the NBA and NFL
