Anyone seen @anniedustan lately?
reply
No and I was just thinking about that earlier today, too. Maybe her kids are out of school for summer and that's keeping her busy.
reply
Yeah, I remember she wrote some good posts. I guess some people come and go on here? You have probably seen many come and go, right?
reply
Siggy and I were talking about this a little bit earlier. It would be nice to know why we're losing people who were real contributors.
Clearly, there's room to improve retention.

We ended our soccer season undefeated! My son’s learned a lot about soccer and some good life skills! Next season I’ll be coaching them in the next league up!
reply
Awesome! That's probably more soccer wins than I experienced throughout my entire childhood.

lol I kept it fun for the kids and gave everyone equal playing time. They are K4 &K5 so it takes a lot of patience. 6 of our 9 kids scored goals!

@k00b, are territory owners going to get control over comment fees at some point?
I could also see an argument for letting posters control that.

We have a ticket which @k00b triaged so I am pretty sure the answer is yes.

Cool, thanks

Sometimes a door closes forcing you to do something you should have done before. Sometimes a door closes that you should have closed. Sometimes the things that seem to be terrible lead to the better things.
Keep your head up stackers.
reply
what else happens sometimes? do tell
reply
Sometimes people completely miss why someone writes seemingly obvious things. What is obvious to one person is not to another. We all aren't thinking on the same wave length.
Sometimes the writer needs to remind themselves. Sometimes one remember how a simple word or two brightened their day and thinks... maybe I should share this and may just maybe someone might benefit from it.

My cynical theory: no one is having children so there's lots of excess mommy and daddy energy spilling onto the internet. We are so full of ourselves we imagine we're the adoptive parents of everyone on the internet.
reply
I think you are on to something there
I also am starting to think that while the internet is full of information, there is less refined wisdom, well it does exist but overall the internet is becoming more noisy. These new tools that are being built make it easier for average joe and jane to dish out advice, in the past you need to host a blog or something, make more effort.
Now we have people's proof of stake in the moment thoughts and ideas which are flooding us all over. I hope more people can chose to post less but when they do post, they post their proof of work.

Good morning stackers👋🤠, I would like to share a quote that I found interesting while learning how to use a new tool (Logseq) #quote "What is not measured cannot be Improved" Thanks for reading 👍
reply
SImilar: "What gets measured, gets managed."
reply
ohh I like it! Thanks for sharing
reply
It's actually a more cautionary note.
The point is that managers will tend to neglect the parts of their job that aren't easily measured, so you have to be careful about what metrics you base performance on.

Day three of unemployment. Resume fully updated, have reached out to some contacts, have done an initial sweep for rare completely equivalent positions. Also continue to be amazed that, in spite of how important it is, maybe 1/10 employers actually published a salary range. What a great way to waste everyone's time.
reply
It's almost here!! The weekend is almost here, what a Friday, indeed, rainy, some streets are flooded but it's a good sign, means the hurricane season here in Playa del Carmen will not be so brutal, so it's definitely a gorgeous day, this week went fast and was busy but the weekend is around the corner so we can enjoy and relax, you deserve it my friend, you're worthy of great things and you are appreciated, thank you!! May your day be like this rain, full of life, energy and filled with good omens. One last push my friend, we've got this!! So let's end strong and show the week who owned it. As always my dear friend, be well and stay frosty!!

No, you're not missing anything... that's exactly how the system works here in Peru, companies are monopolies and they are everywhere and the press is super sensationalist and without any good content... just driving people towards consumerism... people work 10 or 12 hours and are paid very little and without benefits or anything... and pray to God that nothing happens to you... or have an accident because they don't recognize you at all... and if your spine is damaged by being carrying excessive weight in the warehouses, they throw you out and that's it, it's that simple... the system here is structured to exploit the poor and obviously the richest rich... that's why I always advise everyone I can that working for your boss doesn't hurt you. is going to move forward!! You have to open your eyes and free yourself and work for your dreams and benefits for yourself, not those of your boss...

I totally agree with you. I have seen many games like this too. I believe that since television and social media have been around, people pay more attention to materialistic things. People used to be able to find peace and stay happy in their lives by connecting with spirituality, but where are those day? 95% people are unhappy in their life.

The bitcoin company prepaid visa > AMEX gold!
Support bitcoin businesses!
reply
By using those prepaid visa cards you are just supporting fiat companies and visa not bitcoin... By going to a merchant and pay with visa card, you literally support that merchant to keep accepting fiat and not bitcoin. Go to the merchant and convince them to accept bitcoin directly, not visa !
reply
And what about the developers of the bitcoin company? What about the support I give them by using their business?
reply
Then just send them sats directly to their BTC address.
Is really a shame that a company selling VISA (fiat) products is named "The Bitcoin Company". Fiat mindset is deep into people's brain, especially in US. Those visa cards are eating your brains... As I said... US will be the last place on Earth that will fully adopt Bitcoin.
reply
They sell more than just visa products. Plus they are a business using bitcoin. So I support them. If you looked at the inequality equation you would see that using once fiat instrument is better than the other which is the Amex gold which doesn’t support bitcoin at all.
reply
It doesn't matter what they sell to you. They just WANT YOUR SATS and they give you shit fiat. This is what you don't get it: by using those visa, you support fiat system, not bitcoin at all. You are LITERALLY pushing those merchants to keep using fiat instead of dumping it at all. But yeah, your mind is not prepared for a Bitcoin standard, yet. I hope one day you will remember my words.
Please watch this short 15 min presentation by Jimmy Song about why FIAT DELENDA EST
reply
So we just supposed to let the bitcoin company fail? If I’m not mistaken it’s the same team that works on LN bits open source software.
reply
That company should reprofile their products on BITCOIN ONLY and/ or help and spread bitcoin adoption... not fiat visa adoption. Why that company is not going door to door to all merchants near by and convince them to accept bitcoin and help them setup a solution for that?
it’s the same team that works on LN bits open source software.
It doesn't matter. Using and pushing the use of fiat is a SIN, it is against the human nature. I will never support the use of fiat and I will always fight against and boycott as much as I can all those merchants that refuse to accept bitcoin directly.
As Zaps replace likes and hearts I want to be at the front of that trend with my Singularity related cartoons. Zap me but only if you laugh. I post here and Damus. Any other recommended sites?

Body Corporate

When a “legal fiction” or “corporation” is making a claim against you, although in reality it will not be you but against your own corporation, challenge the corporation that they are not a “for-profit” organisation.
All corporations are registered with Dun and Bradstreet, Companies House or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
  • Companies House: the Department for Business registration within the UK Corporation.
  • Dun and Bradstreet: Credit reporting agency for corporations.
  • The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: regulates companies within the USA Corporation.
Both the “council” and “police”, and indeed even the “government”, give the false, assumed illusion they are “not-for-profit”, when in fact they are.
For example: The UK Parliament is a for-profit company; company number: #UC2279443
This would prove conflict of interest within the court, as employees working for the “body corporate” would be making a claim for financial gain, and not “law”.
Note: when using an approach like this, word your question so your opponent is forced to deny something, rather than admit, because if they remain silent, they admit guilt automatically.
No one has to admit anything within court as everyone has the right to remain silent so not to self-incriminate.

And here it is the example of Corporations Posing As Governments

I think most people are afraid of their freedom. That's why they escape from their freedom, as Erich From has analyzed very well in his book The Fear of Freedom.
