Woah you know, reading near-death experiences like this really put the struggles of parenting into perspective. Will hug my kids harder later. Thanks for sharing

Sats help me to purchase gift cards from Bitrefill.

Cowboy credits help me to post stuff here, which in turn help me to get sats. Cowboy credits is a currency exclusive to SN.

Does that make sense?

Welcome! 🤗

It’s an interesting question you ask.

It made me reflect on my writing habits. Normally, I would use ChatGPT as a proofreading tool after I write an email meant for the entire school staff. I would like to think that my writing style is a tad quirky, yet professional - but I have come to learn that some (narrow-minded) colleagues may not agree. My Vice-principal has emailed me before on my usage of “pain in the ass”. So, I use AI slop, hiding behind a professional facade.

As for SN, I have always found it liberating to just type whatever’s on my mind and receive some sats haha. Loving my Proof of Work here!

I have never heard of all the generative video sites that you suggested!

I am only familiar with Invideo AI, so I used that instead

Here’s the caption it gave based on my prompt: Watch as skilled cowboys ride in different directions, creating an intricate web with threads tied to their galloping horses! In this captivating visual spectacle, the horses dash across the landscape, weaving a stunning cobweb that ultimately spells out "Stacker News." Experience the perfect blend of speed, skill, and creativity in this unique interpretation of news sharing. Join us on this exhilarating ride that showcases the artistry and teamwork of these talented riders. Don’t forget to like and share this video if you enjoyed the show!

SN is the best way to earn some sats! Welcome!

I have missed you! Glad you are still around

Onward and upward!

Your illustrations seem bigger than usual. So funky. Your upbeat spirit is contagious

So pumped by his success here haha

It’s always hardest to take the first step, so kudos to you. I might include a footnote, which comprises a link to one of your SN postings, in the event that the fine folks at the Institute haven’t heard of SN. They can get to know of your writing too.

My two sats’ worth

I’m the reverse. I read nothing but self-help, self-improvement books. Trying to psych myself to read a fiction novel next because I do agree with the escapism benefits that novels bring. I do not need to be productive 24/7

You’re not on the Leaderboard yet. Curious to see how you will beat me later xP

Only 5 months?! I feel like I have known you forever

Oh I feel you, fellow writer. So let me start off with a confession. The other day, I posted a compilation of stuff I had gathered on UTXOs. I won’t even call it a beginner’s guide because it was a clumsy attempt to articulate in words something that is very foreign to me. It generated some responses - great. Some people surfaced loopholes in my thinking - awesome. The thing is, I haven’t replied them so far because I feel inadequate. I don’t know where to start when it comes to penning my replies.

So there you go. I feel (and am) ignorant about Bitcoin matters. The way I go about it is to use my ignorance as a starting point to find out more. After all, I’m here to learn.

I think the fear we imagine is often worse than when it is manifested. We think that people may judge us when we post our imperfect ideas, but Stackers here are incredibly generous with their time (and zaps). Only when we put ourselves out there can we expect to grow as writers and individuals.

I read your post. I enjoyed reading it. I have your back. Post more. 🤗😋

Fascinating question and I love the oxymoron (strong opinions, loosely held) at the end.

I think an instrumental part of me being open-minded is having a strong sense of self. In my society, most people prioritise career progression and wealth building over varied experiences. But I just feel that it’s such a pity if I only live one life. So I change jobs ever so often because I want to see the world out there. Each time I do so, I gain a sharper sense of my authentic self because the same values and principles will steer me towards navigating the differing circumstances. I don’t care what others think in regard to the things that I’m doing with my life! Appreciating the diversity of life and understanding my preferred way of being allow me to accept other people’s points of view pretty easily.

I mayn’t agree with your opinion, but I have no qualms about taking up alternative courses of action because I don’t attach myself emotionally to my opinions. I readily do what my boss expects me to do, although I may not be on the same page as her.

You sound American haha. Am I right to assume that?

Oh you are of Italian descent?

I know MBTI is a pseudoscience but I really swear by my personality: ENFP. So people who are ENFPs are creative people who are adept at connecting the dots between seemingly disparate disciplines and creating something unique as a result. I am no exception. So even though today is Saturday, I had a good time finding snatches of time to prepare for a sharing entitled “Leveraging ChatGPT in Teaching and Learning”. I enjoyed putting the pieces together from my diverse experiences - a survey I did here, responses from professional contacts I made there, a cultural anecdote from yet another place. I feel good knowing that I have come up with a sharing that no one else will be able to replicate. In fact, I blogged about my plan with respect to my sharing here: https://www.publish0x.com/diaperfinancingfund/leveraging-chatgpt-for-teaching-and-learning-xnkqkym

I also find that reading energises me. Yesterday afternoon, I intentionally took a digital detox to finish reading “The Secret Life of the Dyslexic Child”. Social media can be a time sink, so I’m glad I fed my mind intellectually with invaluable insights into the minds of people with dyslexia. Having more knowledge makes me feel empowered and confident!

What’s your YouTube channel? Let me subscribe to you!

You have always been consistent 👍

Could I ask what you mean by a low time-preference thing?

I get what you mean about trimming the fat and enjoy what you said about prevailing through a fire. I had two months of carefree childless life this year and observed that I felt that I wasn’t making good use of time by being around acquaintances who are fun to be with but not necessarily adding value to my life. I shall focus on that so that the piece of my mind it occupied expands. Thanks mate
