i feel like this could've been a one-off serial with S1-S3 contained in six episodes and then S4 left as it is
i also didn't sympathize with any of the characters. i thought it would've been unrealistic to randomly kill off three billionaires in the finale even if it would've been satisfying. so i think they should've waited three weeks for the finale
when jack announced bluesky in 2019, he cited Platforms not Protocols, and emphasized the importance of blockchain technologies
this whole project was launched after he got to be one of the earliest adopters of the bitcoin lightning network (ie a layer 2 which centralizes payments to fix usability problems with bitcoin)
he's stated that he wants to integrate lightning (ie bitcoin) into bluesky, which like, yeah.
imagine how excited the person who came up with the name bluesky felt, pondering lightning, when they came up with the name bluesky
just run your favorite linux distro and disable javascript and only use good sites like jstpst

i was in early middleschool when this came out and the vibe i got was that people were like "haha absurd meme song"
im happy i heard it a hundred times because it opened my eyes to a lot of things i wasn't getting in school
"the school books say it can't be back again" was one of the lyrics straightforward enough that it helped me untangle the other lyrics, like "build a tent and say the world is dry"
(at the time, my understanding was that racism ended in america in the 1860s and again in the 1960, both being ancient history)
there are few usecases where monero is better than cash, and that's mostly only if you're participating in an economy that uses monero (and i don't know of any). everyone with monero wants to get cash for it so they can buy real things
and to buy monero "privately" with cash, you still need to go through literally every step you have to go through for physical money
and like victoria said, the use cases for monero are Mostly Very Illicit Goods anyways
