"Spartan is a gender" is kind of a joke yeah, but they were pretty much raised detached from the rest of society and with no opportunity for identity or self-expression.
i'm immunocompromised but wearing a mask drives my TMJ up the wall. i try to limit my mask wearing. it's a balancing act of "how much risk am i taking" and "ow ow my jaw + all the regular discomforts of wearing a mask." i am, indeed, weaker than furries
i want to agree with you, but right now my jaw doesn't hurt right now,
(EDIT because i wanna add more)
like. i feel all this same anger and rancor. everyone should still be masking, etc etc
i'm ardently "covid is real and you should take precautions against it", combined with the selfish "i am immunocompromised and especially susceptible to pneumonia", and even then i'm still not masking 100% of the time
i think instead govts would invest into other measures to reduce the spread of diseases, like paying for vaccines and testing, air filtration symptoms, etc.
one company that seem to have a pretty unclear business model.
The business model is to profit off of making Bitcoin mainstream. It's literally that.
Every single one of Jack Dorsey's public endeavors have been pointed towards making Bitcoin (Lightning) a thing. The only reason BlueSky isn't loudly pro-Bitcoin is because the people at BlueSky know that most people see cryptoshit as a toxic scam.
The whole Bluesky team are huge cryptocoin bros and they've been excited about Bitcoin Lightning ever since Jack Dorsey was asked to join on kicking the network off.
For the past four years, Jack Dorsey has been the main character of Bitcoin Lightning. He sees himself as a Jesus type person and I am not joking or exaggerating.
Technologically: The Lightning network works basically like Venmo or Paypal: Give your Bitcoins to a big wallet which does formal transfers infrequently. You're basically splitting the time+btc costs of one transaction by combining it with many others, so long as you trust the Lightning node you're using.
The profit plan is this:
Make BlueSky big and ubiquitous
Add Bitcoin integration once everyone's there, and make it fast and easy.
Nobody's going to leave over it lol
People using Bitcoin = Bitcoin costs more = Jack Dorsey becomes rich
Supporting evidence:
Jack Dorsey already said he's going to integrate Lightning into BlueSky .
