Ya boy is back with a new nostr vlog: “If you can't enjoy the process, trust the process"
Who else checks their nodes every day?
Only those that are not confident in what they did with their nodes... weak ones.
I hardly ever check mine!

The Little Hodler
When I asked a friend, with lots of experience and self-awareness, what the defining characteristic of anger is, he said self-righteousness.
it is a futile display of self-righteousness, that's what I always tell people when they ask me why I'm never angry.
what's the purpose?
Some say a complete lack of anger is a deficiency, inirascibility.
Well, I was mainly talking about unmotivated anger.
Anger that stems from lack of critical thinking and empathy.
Anger that stems from a single perspective being explored.
Anger that stems from solipsism.
I wasn't clear enough, but there's anger and anger.
It is, for me, embarrassing to withstand or produce a tantrum without a good cause.
Thanks, the fact that you were only talking about anger as you described is, in my opinion, an important nuance that I felt was worth digging into and adding to the discussion
Doesn't self-righteousness have clearly negative connotations? From Wikipedia
If, as in the example, a person sees an animal being mistreated, and considers that an unacceptable injustice, and feels anger, motivating them to intervene, you'd call that self-righteous? Because the person believes they are morally superior due to their belief in animal rights? While, in fact, the average person would not agree?
Perceiving injustice is usually self-righteousness?
no because:
Self-righteousness is basically moral arrogance, which is bad, we're talking superiority. Your example, instead, is empathy-based moral conviction.
So there exists anger without self-righteousness? Then self-righteousness can't be the defining characteristic of anger.
(I'm not arguing petty anger doesn't exist or isn't the most common, or shouldn't be kept in check after having considered self-righteousness, btw.)
I'm not saying that I'm right by not getting angry ever (even though I do get angry sometimes, I'm human). I'm saying that if you can choose between rational thinking and anger, and you choose anger, then that's a display of self-righteousness.
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t mean complete lack of anger.
This is great, thanks for sharing!
💯
I’m sure Satoshi was also pretty pissed at banks when he wrote the first version of Bitcoin and didn’t take any credit for it by disappearing two years later
You’ve never been angry in your life? No one has ever treated you so badly that your reaction including anger wasn’t self-righteous but more like self-defense?
If you need an example: someone spits in your face. What do you do? Just walk away? Then they push you over. What now?
But I guess with “defining characteristic of anger,” we’re talking about people who are angry in general, not situationally?
You’ve never encountered colloquial exaggerations in your whole life?
I got interested and asked myself what the evolutionary purpose of anger is. I found this:
This matches my experience of how anger can be useful. When somebody is angry with me, I make sure to take them serious and ask myself if I indeed did something wrong.
Anger has also helped me assist a woman who was being treated badly by another man. While everyone on the train was shocked that he was threatening to hit her and she was crying, I stood up and told him to back off. It didn’t help much, because she still got off the train with him, but I just couldn’t watch that injustice.
However, I’m also very aware of how the bystander effect works (part of my training as a paramedic), so I don’t blame the other people on the train. I also didn’t feel like I would be putting my life on the line; otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have stood up, either.
So with asserting boundaries via anger, it’s not just your own boundaries, but also the boundaries of others.
Wouldn't this have been possible without anger?
I guess it depends what is meant by anger. Anger at injustice but directed in a controlled way can be good. I don't know if uncontrolled anger can ever be good, except maybe as a survival instinct
Sure, it would just have been more difficult. Anger helps to act now, and not get analysis paralysis.
I agree

I think it's useful when you
In modern life it tends to be less useful because we're often not in danger. IME it's almost more often that people get angry when they:
Then after they fact they manufacture how they've been wronged.
🤔
Proverbs 29:11
"A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back."
he not wrong
I would have said stupidity, which is why I do my best to not get angry, but it's only half right. It's a particular kind of stupidity.

What say you @BitcoinErrorLog and BIP 177 people?
Ok, now i wanna know who is Cerise Zelenetz
I suppose this has more to do with the news about the last-minted penny than the magazine caring about bitcoin?
Almost makes me thinks the cartoonist could have plagiarized SN:
Knowing what a satoshi is requires at least a greater than level 1 bitcoin knowledge though, imo
A true normie who wanted to make a joke about the penny going away would probably have done "a nickel for your thoughts", or even "a bitcoin for your thoughts"
I think the cartoonist is probably not a bitcoiner, but some elements of bitcoin culture may have seeped more deeply into society than we know.
Perhaps, but I'd be surprised if even 5% of my non-bitcoiner friends knew what a Satoshi was
I guess it's real: https://x.com/gladstein/status/1989398359711567934?s=20

so many years ago I used to trade Second Life’s lindens for Bitcoins.
only now I understand how cool it was
In 2013 I was playing WoW with my daughter and she was quite good at farming inside the game. So I find a way to convert her farming in sats by selling those WoW gold coins and rare items for a lot of sats... imagine in 2013.
I think I'll try not to look at any monitor this weekend, I'm just running in circles with cleanup.
who am i even joking, i’m already back

I’m very curious which echo chamber you are a part of
The based reality version of Bitcoin.
Is that just you?
nope, a lot of people in the ecosystem, im just the most vocal about it publicly

@remindme in 7 daysbelowFinished three books in the past month or so.
Moving on to 2001: A Space Odyssey
Three books in a month is great! How many hours you dedicate to reading? You do every day?
I am unfortunately unemployed right now, so that helps give me time to read. I sit down and read for 20-30 minutes at a time, making sure I'm actually focused on what I'm reading and I usually stop when my mind starts wandering. I actually read the books on the go at the same time, so I go with whichever book is flowing at the moment. Maybe that's a bit strange but it works. I'm not sure what the total reading time was, but it never felt like a chore or that I was reading for a huge portion of the day.
EDIT: I also took some light notes while reading "Scale" because I was considering writing about it, but nothing lengthy, just page numbers for certain concepts
Oh how did you enjoy miss Welty? Anything interesting she had to say?
"The Optimist's Daughter" was interesting. I like the writing style. In terms of what she had to say, I'm not sure I picked up everything but the description of grief and the interpersonal stuff was very well done. The dialogue gives you a good sense of who the characters are, there were times I was really loathing certain people, other times feeling sorry for them.
Hahaha
What’s your newest meme? Or do you just post the same ones over and over?
Using old templates? Yes.
But always creating new memes.
Here a new one that you will like hahahah
Meh, not very deep
deep memes ar not for monerotards. They do not have enough neurons.
Meh, not a very original insult
You can insult me better than that
buahahaha so you consider yourself a monerotard?
How easy was to make you say it hahahahaha
I consider you considering me a monerotard, yes
But I guess that is too deep for your neurons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But at least it means you can laugh about simple things
