Genuine psychology question: I’m trying to understand the behavior of some of these people out here who seek a return to the subjugation of women. Often when I discover a new one it is a person who I know IRL. A person who is very respectful to me when they see me out at a conference, etc.
I just don’t understand why someone who has an inherent disrespect for the minds of women would sit down and have an hour long conversation with me. A professional conversation, where they don’t even hit on me. Why do they do that?

Ya at first I found it fun. It was after being assaulted by a dude who followed me down the street, and my friends experiencing the same that my outlook on street harassment changed.
Cat calling is different for men and woman, and, for women, it isn't a compliment, it's a threat.

It is just cute cats or am I missing some subtext here?

Good morning ladies...

2024-09-04 15:56:54

I have no respect for dudes who can’t mindfully, actively care about women’s issues.
I have been violently assaulted, brutally betrayed, had my livelihood threatened, consistently harassed, I can’t leave my home without making preparations to be sure that I’m not assaulted again, I have to teach my daughter how to avoid being assaulted, I am the shoulder to cry on for my friends when they are assaulted… and yet, through all of that I make a point of consciously, consistently, actively caring about the lives of men, and the issues that effect them.
I do this, actively, consciously, because it is the only honorable thing do to. It is the only respectable thing to do, to actively care for others, to actively care for those whose pain and experiences are different from your own, despite your scars.
If I am capable of managing it, they are too.

2024-09-02 17:01:03

I don’t vote and I often get accused of not caring about humanity, or being lazy, or dumb because of that. People ask me “what are the consequences of not paying attention to politics!?” and I say “what are the consequences of giving my time and energy to politics?”
Politics is reactionary. Politicians aren’t leaders, they are just doing what they think will be popular and what they get paid to do. Politicians are followers.
What actually changes the world is us. Our culture and our technology.
I too want a better world, I put a lot of effort into making a better world, and I do that by building better technology and encouraging a better culture. And this is where I think my time/energy is most impactful.
I scroll social media and see angry rant after angry rant and I feel exhausted. How much time and energy are all these people giving to reflexive fear mongering debates?
What if we took all that energy and instead put it into changing what is popular, and changing what is possible?

2024-09-02 15:43:33

There is no point in arguing politics because the difference is one of values, and there is just no way that you will ever get someone to change their values on the spot based on an internet debate.
Now of course this stuff can be complex, but with our current upcoming election, I see two broad categories that are good examples here.
There are people that care a lot about the economy, they are scared of socialism. Those are your Trumpsters.
There are people that care a lot about women’s rights and maintaining democracy, they are scared of a slide into dictatorship and a degradation of women’s rights. Those are your Harris fans.
You can’t make a Trumpster suddenly give priority to women’s rights. Those aren’t their values.
You can’t make a Harris fan suddenly give priority to economic issue. Those aren’t their values.
So go on and pick apart every little thing your political opponent does, go on big rants about it, yell till you are blue in the face, it won’t change anything. What you are up against are differing values. Your only chance at all is to have a real, deep, conversation with someone on what their values are and why. ...and ain’t no one got time for that.

2024-08-29 22:52:40

Sometimes I think life is all just an exercise in choosing your values.
I’m thinking about this a lot today as my feed is full of praise for “the Strongman”, the “king” 😕

I caught myself lecturing my teenager today giving her advice that actually I think most humans need to hear. Certainly I could have used this advice years ago:
Like it or not humans are intensely social creatures. It might not always be fun or easy, but you absolutely need social interaction and meaningful long term relationships in your life. You need to know that, plan for that, and put in work to make it happen. If you don’t, I can guarantee that your mental and physical health will suffer as a consequence.

Sometimes, I really miss properly being a developer. It's great, you sit alone with your computer, no one is allowed to bother you, and you get to just sort out a puzzle all day 🧩
It's strangely meditative 🧘‍♀️

People love to make jokes about 🍆 or gossip about the size of various 🍆
But really gents, no one, I mean not one soul on this planet, cares about the size of your 🍆 more than you do. There are indeed some ladies out there who care a lot about size, but the vast majority of us care about a few hundred other of your features dramatically more.
I think 🍆 gets talked about so much simply because y’all respond to it so dramatically. If you want to get a mans attention, talk about his 🍆!!!

I’m migrating my LND nodes over to litd in integrated mode. This way I’ll be able to run LND with Loop, Pool, Faraday and Tapd seamlessly!
If you’re thinking about doing this, here is my cheat sheet…(for Ubuntu servers)
✅Backup node (Static channel backup file, server snapshot, etc.)
✅Stop LND (Via the cli, systemd, etc.)
✅Delete old binaries and repos
✅⚠️🚨 Don’t touch the .lnd data directory!!! ⚠️🚨
✅Install litd
✅If installing from source you’ll need GoLang, Nodejs, and Yarn
✅$ git clone https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal.git
✅$ cd lightning-terminal
✅$ git checkout v0.12.5-alpha
✅$ make install
✅$ make go-install-cli
✅Configure litd
✅$ mkdir ~/.lit
✅$ vim .lit/lit.conf
✅Migrate config. Copy any important config from ~/.lnd.conf to ~/.lit.conf adding the lnd. prefix
✅Start up Litd (adjusting systemd files, etc as necessary)
✅Test $ litcli --network=testnet status
Sample Systemd file…
[Unit]
Description=Litd Lightning Terminal Daemon
Requires=bitcoind.service
After=bitcoind.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/go/bin/litd litd
User=ubuntu

Is this your first Halving? Second? Third? ...Fourth?
For the first Halving is was Googling "what is a Bitcoin halving?" 🤣

For the lockdown halving 😷was chillin in my basement on a MadBitcoins livestream
For this one I plan to be dancing in Viejo San Juan 💃
How about you???

I've been in Bitcoin 12 years now. I've watched the community change and expand dramatically in that time. The past few years have been rather sad as I've watched so many in this community become consumed by the red pill contagion.
So many people in Bitcoin are contrarians or people who refuse to accept the status quo. I get that. I'm one of them. But what I can not accept is the instinct to be contrarian pushing you to lose your values.
I’ve watched “anarchists”, "libertarians" and “voluntarists” become consumed with hate and fall into collectivism. I’ve watched them start to worship dominance and authoritarianism. I’ve watched them adopt the idea that autonomy and agency are gender dependent.
Watching my community lose its values has been nothing short of heart breaking 💔
And through this I've had to learn the very, very important distinction between contrarians and people with real principles.

How quickly can you get a #Lightning Node up and running? How about less than 15mins?
In this unedited video we walk through all the steps to go from a fresh Ubuntu server to a working node with the new LND v0.17 release.

Have you updated to LND 0.17 yet?
Here is my checklist for updating my nodes, and a blog post from Velas Commerce with an LND #Lightning Node Troubleshooting Guide to use in the unlikely event that you run into any trouble!
Step one - Backups
✅ Generate static channel backup file
$ lncli --network=testnet exportchanbackup --all --output_file=channel.backup
✅ Copy channel.backup to local
$ rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /home/[user]/.ssh/key.pem" ubuntu@[IP address]:/home/ubuntu/channel.backup channel.backup
✅ Gracefully stop LND
$ lncli --network=testnet stop
✅ Also stop via systemd or disable the service $ sudo systemctl stop lnd
✅ Copy channel.db file to local
$ rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /home/[user]/.ssh/key.pem " ubuntu@[IP address]:/home/ubuntu/.lnd/data/graph/testnet/channel.db channel.db
✅ Check file size
$ ls -la
Step two - Upgrade
✅ Pull down latest $ git pull
✅ Checkout new version
$ git checkout v0.17.0-beta
✅ Remake $ make clean && make && make install tags="autopilotrpc chainrpc invoicesrpc peersrpc routerrpc signrpc walletrpc watchtowerrpc wtclientrpc"
$ lncli --network=testnet version
Step three - Restart
✅ Start LND
$ sudo systemctl start lnd
$ lncli --network=testnet getinfo LND

How ridiculously cool is this!?! My #AI agent is out buying things for me using #Lightning!
I'm using the LangChainBitcoin #L402 tools. Once you get it wired up, you can give it instructions like "go purchase XYZ data" ...and it just goes and does the thing!!!!!

I’ll have to talk to some Puerto Rican ladies about this. In Chicago street harassment is so frightening because it’s the precursor to assault. Perhaps that’s not the case here. ...I hope not anyhow!

Puerto Rico is out here setting street harassment records. I hit a personal best today 😅🙁 Made it up to 7 honks/hollers on a 1 hour walk. Sigh.
If I ever move back to Australia this will be why. It's the only place I've found where I can walk around by myself unbothered.
