I want to see how you're going to get out of this one. How can we live in a utopia if utopia is imaginary and impossible?
reply
I will respond by asking - why do you think anything is impossible?
reply
I don't believe anything is impossible. What I'm saying is that by definition, a utopia is an imaginary and impossible thing. That's what the dictionary says
reply
The reason that @Undisciplined wrote "narrative violation" is because they guessed I was going to present a point that goes against the masses.
The dictionary was written by the masses as language grew. The masses believe that something is imaginary if it does not exist.
However, something only doesn't exist if you can't see it, hear it etc.
Take the tree that falls in the woods when no one is there to hear it fall - does it make a noise? What may seem imaginary to some, is very real to others.
I hope that makes sense - I am in the middle of a meeting whilst typing!

Warning! Narrative violation.

I put a dying plant in a bottle of water. I was sure it wouldn't survive, and sure enough, its single leaf shriveled and fell. Well, too lazy to remove it, I left it sitting on my plant stand surrounded by other plant life I've successfully maintained. Today I noticed, after a month or so, a new leaf has grown up out of its bulb, and multiple strands of roots are curling around in the bottle. Proves I'm not the author of what lives and dies. Thankful for that fact.

Well, now I am more familiar with how route hints work.
What bothers me is that they use a different key for the fee_rate_milli_msats. And route hints don't include information about the capacity of a channel, but a route object (which is constructed from route hints) does.

Those things feel great.
But we live in a world where most people are in huge debt.
Debt is slavery. Savings is freedom.
Don't listen to your bank when they say you can get a huge mortgage, get half of that or less if you can. Live within your means and you'll live a great life.

It is what it is.
Preparing for a job transition and getting fixated with left-field interview questions. Today’s question comes from @IamSINGLE.
Do you prefer doing a job or setting up a business?
Obviously, since I’m a teacher, I prefer being employed gainfully. I welcome the distinctive boundary between work and life: school terms vs holidays. But I don’t think being a teacher prevents me from having an entrepreneurial mindset. I have always been proactive about trying out new technologies and conducting lessons in novel ways. In fact, I will present on how to leverage AI tools to streamline teachers’ planning processes for a Virtual Meet session for the fraternity. My gung-ho nature, coupled with my willingness to take creative risks, helps me come across as “a breath of fresh air” (quoting my ex-colleague’s words).
reply
Oh man, I just had an interview. They asked me why they should hire me. I told them I was in it for the long term, so whatever resources and education they put into me, it would pay off in the years to come. They looked at me like I was crazy. Then I told them, a diamond starts out as rough, and once it is polished it becomes something that everyone desires.
reply
And... if I got asked this and answered honestly... I wouldn't get the job!
Although I would love the stability of a steady income my heart lies with being the master of my own destiny, being able to pick my own hours, my own holidays and my own clients! So the thought of going back to PAYE makes me feel sick to the stomach and I don't wanna!
I say just after applying for a job for the first time in 14 years 😂😂😂
reply
It depends really.
It seems easier to just do a job for a lot of pay, and then live your life than setup a business.
Now, once you earn enough money, I would be happy to do my own thing, and even release it all for free maybe. Once you don't have to worry about paying bills, it's all great.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Today the average person is unaware that they are indeed a slave, with almost all of their wealth and freedom being stolen from them throughout their life.
This unseen slavery is linked to “your” Birth Certificate, the legal system and the modern day financial and monetary system, but it all started with your name.

Law of the Sea

Eons ago Man and Woman were considered opposite but interconnected forces, or the “Yin-Yang” of life.
Although both were different they depended on each other for life to exist.
Many ancient cultures considered the meeting of the land with the sea to symbolise this, with the law of the sea being feminine, and the law of the land being masculine.
This is why throughout history, the sea would be referenced in the feminine, with “enchantment” of the sea being an allegory to how women enchant men, and was symbolised with mermaids and “sirens of the sea”.
All ships are referred to with feminine pronouns, with names and figureheads often being female.
The law of the land was considered masculine, as land would give stability and security, with the man often becoming the provider and protector of his woman and child.
Today maritime law has become the rape of the feminine, with the theft of her child.

I can't get it. How does the birth certificate establish that we become slave.
However I understand that birth certificate isn't at all a necessity. Even I don't have my birth certificate. In my country, the birth certificates weren't as prevalent when I was born as they are now.
