at the airport… as a medical professional the number of medical miracles I just witnessed at the security line is very red-pilling.

so many middle aged allegedly handicapped people getting out of their wheelchair and suddenly walking without difficulty. one guy gets up and easily chucks his suitcase onto the xray belt

people have no shame. low trust society 😢

You should yell loudly, "Hallelujah, it's a miracle!" and put them on the spot, haha

My best friend had a traffic accident when visiting me and had to fly back injured. She told me it is the best way to fly. I guess that's not a secret anymore.

can confirm.

I had a bad body surfing accident just 6 days before moving across the pacific and couldn’t stand up or sit down without assistance.

the airport treated me like a high priority piece of luggage and carted me around everywhere I needed to go. I just called ahead and explained my situation and they were very accommodating.

Grace comes after gratitude, not the other way around. Just like repentance comes before redemption. Just like trust comes before faith.

Boosts regularly dominating the frontpage. And boosts are overpowered because we removed trust and therefore our attempt at counting people.

I've been wanting to add trust back since the first zap wars. I've just had too much other high priority stuff lately.

reply

I personally haven't found it to be a big issue. The zap wars are a bit distracting, but in some ways they liven the place up. It does feel a bit "out west" here, which I actually like. Including the bots---not that I like the bots, but I like how everything is permissionless

But I wouldn't mind going back to a trust algorithm either

I agree that for most of us already here feeling a bit "out west" is fun, but I think it keeps good people away.

@k00b have you ever considered putting the ability to stream on stacker news? Perhaps that could be good for engagement.

maybe if you're streaming you can even cross-stream similar to how we cross-post. and maybe if you're streaming you are streaming sats to the territories you're streaming in. and maybe there could be a chat with fun zapping things attached to it. Could be good for the people playing chess, maybe someone wants to teach a bitcoin class in a live setting, etc . . . .

We've talked about it. It's something I imagine we'll eventually add because it seems fun and makes sense. There are probably higher yield things to do in the short term though.

Today, I unlocked two parenting milestones. First, I kickstarted an error book for Science for the son. It would be interesting to track his mastery of concepts over the years - and right now, I feel that I have the energy to see it through. Next, I booked for a FREE trial session at the robotics enrichment centre at Northpoint. Visiting Spectra and witnessing how programming skills are still in demand really shook me out of my inertia haha.

Not only that, I went for a haircut. Reverting to my usual dashing self.

But a parent’s job is far from finished. This evening, I received a list of high-frequency words that my daughter had difficulty pronouncing from her very nice form teacher. She wrote all the words by hand, so her gesture (and wish to stand by her student) spoke to me as a fellow educator. But my daughter isn’t even in K1, you know! I gotta find both the headspace and emotional capacity to drill these words into her consciousness. Cue a humongous groan.
