Why is SN community so afraid of Islam?
Wemby?
are you saying the SN community is islamophobic?
NO
I AM SAYING IT'S THE OPPOSITE
doesn't that mean they're not afraid of Islam tho?
it's rational to be afraid of people who want to kill you
it's not a phobia if someone wants to kill you
Why in Heavens Name would they want to kill you?
SERIOUSLY- do they have good reason?
USA has not been meddling relentlessly in the middle east and globally since God know When, HAS IT?...murdering, invading, kidnapping, assassinating, drone striking and otherwise FUCKING OVER everyone on the planets right to self determination???
Surely not...shock horror!

@k00b if I create an invite link and someone accepts do they get sats or cowboy credits?
Cowboy credits (sadly).
That's ok. I will try to lure them with credits to get them started and then zap them some introductory sats once they attach a wallet. I just didn't want to create confusion by saying sats if they weren't going to receive sats.
I am trying to convert our fantasy baseball league chat over from stupid twitter DM to SN. Why are we talking on twitter when we could be zapping on SN? A number of the players are already on SN but at least 5 or 6 aren't but should be.
Once you get some reps, or find something that works, let me know if we can introduce some feature/pattern to help.
In general to send them sats:
Those are the limiting factors. Beyond that, if there's something we can do to make this kind of thing easier, I'd like to.
I'm working on adding internal wallets, which should make this easier, but it's taking a minute. ↩
Maybe i'm naive, but couldn't you just ask for a lightning address?
not everyone will have one, but it would reduce the friction for those who do
It would be cool if I sent a 1000 credit invite link and they joined and attached a wallet if they could get a reward of 1000 sats once they spend the 1000 credits. Might be too much work to implement vs me saying I will zap your first post 1k sats once you have a wallet attached.
Without many reps, off the dome, maybe something like:
Yeah that could work.
Kindly can you say, What is the half life of downzaps?
@k00bs consistent answer . . .
Passive Aggressive ... S I L E N C E . . .
And YES CCs are inferior! They are by definition SHITCOINS.
But you defend those using them as a preference @DarthCoin @denlillaapan (while disingenuously claiming to be 'BTC Maxis') on spurious grounds of 'privacy'.
@petertodd
@grayruby
This is becoming a ridiculous, common practice.
even the conservatives are doing it now?
i'm pretty sure it's not a broadly popular practice... like, i think even rank & file progressives recognize it as empty virtue signaling(?)
The 'conservatives' have capitulated in Canada and EU and they have been revived by open immigration
oof
First Nation is a stupid term
They are alcoholic gamblers who are lazy and reliant on welfare
sorry but not sorrry
Who they?
Native Alcoholics
Oh yeah the Natives def do struggle with alcoholism def is sad
especially Navajo and Cherokee
and they love to gamble
Yup it’s sad they build these casinos on their own land then the elders go spend their transfer payments at the casino all day long

Why is legalese different than english?
Quick AnswerQuick Answer
Legalese differs from everyday English due to its specialized vocabulary, unique syntactic constructions, and the use of set phrases, often referred to as legal doublets. This distinct register of English is employed in legal writing to achieve a high level of precision and avoid ambiguity.
Key reasons for this difference include:
While the intention is often to ensure clarity and precision within the legal community, this style can make legal documents difficult to understand for those outside the profession.
what is the difference between Serbian and Croatian language?
zero
similar to us and uk english, with the addition of optional ciryllic script in serbian, which no young croat can read
Did you know there's an annual contest in Croatia to make up new authentic Croatian words?
Thanks for reminding me of this

Why no downzaps notifications?
I remember throwing that idea out back in 2024!
Tying speech to money is enough of a tragedy, but not letting us know when we get downzapped? How the fuck am I do the boost/zap/downzap wars?
I don’t care about sats wars, but I think we should get a notification when we get a downzap. Right now you can check posts/comments that got downzaps with the ‘sort’, but if someone hits an old post/comment with a downzap, you’d never even know.
I wanna know when it was downzapped, so my intelligence agency can prepare accordingly.
It's a matter of national security.
~lol~lol

Ask AI (Kagi):
When did people get changed to persons in US constitutions?
Quick AnswerQuick Answer
The United States Constitution has consistently used the term "People" since its inception in 1789, beginning with the Preamble's declaration, "We the People". The term "persons" also appears in the original text, for example, in discussions regarding representation that included "three-fifths of 'all other persons,' a euphemism for slaves".
There is no record of a change from the term "people" to "persons" in the U.S. Constitution. However, the Fourteenth Amendment uses the term "persons" in its definition of citizenship, stating that all "persons" born or naturalized in the United States are citizens
boiling the oceans using AI for a good cause: wake up the slaves
😂😂😂😂
I forbid everyone to study the meaning of the word person.
It's dangerous to our democracy and against the interests of our comp.. khm our great nation
if you do not write that on a piece of a napkin it doesn't have any authority as a law.
If you repeat it enough times it's mandatory

Coin of the Day:
I am reeling in shock. I can’t quite believe that it has taken me 1.5 hours just to set one question for the Prelim Sci paper. Super unproductive. And it led to repercussions: had to run to a faraway bus stop with the son and was the last parent to pick up the daughter.
But maybe that is the quiddity of paper setting for Science.
If I think on the bright side, I have learnt that I can get ChatGPT to generate realistic models of human systems that are made of recycled materials. To derive greater utility from my “wasted” 1.5 hours, I promptly got the son to memorise nose, windpipe and lungs.
I like it.
What does "setting" a question mean?
Depending on the Bloom’s taxonomy
If it is simple recall, I could get students to name the labels. Nose, windpipe or lungs
If it entails creation, I could use a flawed model and get students to suggest changes they will make to the model to make it better
This isn’t relevant for the respiratory system but a common area of comparison involves students listing the similarities and differences between the human circulatory system and that of fish
But i am having such a hard time because of the darned formatting. It takes time to make sure that the lines and diagrams are all aligned

Lorenzo Kamel, a professor of international relations at the University of Turin, says President Trump needs to resolve the crisis with Iran as the 2026 football World Cup and US midterm elections are fast approaching.
“These are major priorities for him,” he said. “He’s looking for a kind of temporary truce.”
However, Kamal added “somehow the Trump administration is likely to coincide with a showdown with an increasingly uncertain outcome”.
“With the US cornered, Iran is gaining much out of war and current dynamics. From the US perspective this is a major problem,” the professor said.
“If not in the long term, the Iran crisis is also an existential threat for the way in which the US has been managing a large part of the world,”
Death to the Petrodollar.
The US president wants an agreement more favourable than the Obama-era https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2018/5/13/closing-the-deal-the-us-iran-and-the-jcpoa (JCPOA), which will be “difficult” to achieve, an analyst says.
Trump’s fiery rhetoric also isn’t helping reach a deal with Iran, said Foad Izadi, an associate professor at the University of Tehran.
“When he talks about destroying Iranian civilisation, returning Iran to the Stone Age, seeing big blows in Iran – in Iran, at least, people think that he’s referring to attacking Iran with nuclear weapons,” Izadi told Al Jazeera from Tehran.
But one reason he hasn’t done this is because of the enriched uranium in the country, he said.
“Because if Trump attacks Iran with nuclear weapons or threatens to attack Iran with nuclear weapons, then that would give permission to Iran to do something with that enriched uranium.”
The Israeli Foreign Ministry has issued a stinging rebuttal against The New York Times, asserting that the media outlet had published “one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press”.
The ministry’s rebuke came after the paper ran an article by columnist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof on the “brutal sexual abuse” of Palestinian detainees at the hands of Israeli soldiers, interrogators, and prison guards.
Drawing on wrenching personal interviews with victims in the occupied West Bank, Kristof argued that there is a “pattern of widespread Israeli sexual violence” against Palestinians, including children.
Kristof said that while there is no evidence that Israeli leaders directly “order rapes”, they have overseen a security apparatus where sexual violence has reportedly become a “standard operating procedure”.
Combining these firsthand accounts with data from the UN and human rights groups, Kristof alleged that these abuses are “widely practiced as part of an organized state policy”.
He concluded that, regardless of one’s political stance, the use of sexual violence as a “major element in the ill treatment of Palestinians” cannot be ignored.
UN experts late last month expressed “grave concern” that sexual violence has become a “central component” of the Israeli occupation and an instrument of “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” against Palestinians.
The experts asserted that such acts are not incidental but “structural and systematic”.
