I really don't understand bitcoiners who aren't interested in Nostr. I get that not everyone is trying to build an audience, and that money is a more pressing thing to be an early adopter for, but th...

It might be that they didn't use it enough to "get it", @Max said it best, using X and other legacy social media show you stuff based on an algorithm but nostr has Bitcoin payments behind it so it shows you what you would like. "And so we build a way to send and receive Bitcoin so that your friends see what's the stuff that you like. And that's a social signal that's not just likes and reposts but a real monetary cost of, hey, I value this thing. And @Gigi has the perfect line of, you wouldn't zap a car crash. Car crashes are something you just have to look at when it happens. You don't really want to see it, but your attention is drawn to it. You're somewhat tricked by your brain to actually look at it. But you wouldn't send money to it for how great it is. so we have a car crash economy in our attention seeking in the legacy social media that makes you see stuff that you don't really want to see but you're forced to look at it because the algorithm chooses to maximize for your attention and in nostr we can simply make that obsolete" from @Efrat Fenigson podcast. I had never thought of it before but yeah some people believe more noise IS more relevant unfortunately.

Not sure if Gigi's analogy holds. People definitely pay a lot of money so they can see car crashes. Various videogames which are all about triggering spectacular crashes were big hits in the 90s. People also love car chases in ever action movie ever made and the car scenes in MadMax are legendary....

Empathy. I’d ask the babysitter why they think it’s needed. It’s possible they see signs you don’t. No offense meant, ima mother too. Hugs 🫂

Are you in Europe or did you land in Milano to go to the Lugano event? Here are a few fresh from Austria. https://blossom.primal.net/8cae049368f0bb96f260954c5cd368de7b409ba0cedd1295765f6dae8051572e.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ce25fecb5a7286fe203bb1e1378c56d525f51bdb75ad5379088f254c248e6e51.j...

All blowdryer emit insane levels of AC magnetic fields And since you hold it inches from your head… There’s NO ESCAPING that exposure. Ladies, are you watching? https://blossom.primal.net/ddc7...

yes, but no need for fear mongering, ac motors are used in a lot of appliances used on the daily - doesn't mean that that exposure will harm us.

I'd love to see any evidence on this type of exposure and the effects it might have on humans as this has been studied extensively for decades.

and while that does looks alarming, if you're really worried about that exposure - moving the blowdryer a few inches away from your head will reduce "exposure" sharply.

You will never get evidence any more than evidence that the sun causes cancer, saturated fat causes heart disease, red meat causes colon cancer. Look at exploding rates of myopia, cancers for example in the younger age groups. There is so much info given to us by governments that we never stop an...
