@0xMert_ Yeah, I'm still interested in giving people hope they'll get a better deal in new money than in the old - which had mixed results for myself. Along the way, I learned that we need crypto for financial privacy (Monero) and for truly independent social media (Hive).

When I say I'll make a cup of tea:

No time wasted.

RT @heartereum: this is your future if you don't make it this cycle

But I'm not happy that they're remodeling to accommodate Hyrox, a new fitness trend. I don't like any kind of rushed strength training, I already got a back injury when I accidentally joined a class that was similar to Crossfit.

They were building new cages in the gym, some up to 15 feet high for some reason. The owner was working with one builder and of course plenty of helping hands. No better place to ask people to lift or carry stuff than in a powerlifting gym!.

Fascinating study: devs think AI makes them work faster when they're spending less time coding, but they're actually slower in clock time. This was a tough challenge, so the key result is the difference between perception and reality.

Right - if it's a problem that @vikrantnyc and @cakewallet are dominating the Monero community, then the solution is that others should step up and do more!.

When I protested against apartheid in high school, the most prominent friend of the South African government in NL was a former resistance hero from WW2. Did we give him a pass for his record? Of course not! He chose to defend evil, it wasn't an innocent mistake.

Besides the extractive tokenomics, pump fun is claiming to become a social media platform. But it's focusing on livestreaming, which is more like entertainment than interactive social media. Streamers are the only group getting an airdrop.

That was not the opinion the organizers wanted to hear. Later I was contacted by a radio show, which quickly dropped me when I told them what I'd want to say.

Once I did attend an award ceremony for an essay contest, where I lost. I argued that advertising was a good thing (before targeted internet ads existed) and predicted that ads would have to become more attractive in order to get attention in a competitive media landscape.
