From my experience the best definition of addiction is by Alcoholics Anonymous in their Big Book. They described both the problem and the solution. Addiction is not a vice, it's an illness. And has to be treated accordingly. A real addict is not someone who will take back control over their addiction. If someone can control it or stop it on their own, good for them, possibly they were abusing it, but weren't addicted. If someone abuses their compulsive behaviors and it destroys their live, but they cannot abstain from it for good and also cannot use it in moderation, they're probably an addict of a kind, that only a spiritual solution, with help of others, can help.

These are some special video kinds, not yet popular. Regular ones, currently used by most, are also described in the linked NIP. Maybe there was an option in the service you used, that allowed for some edits or sth, which is not yet a standard for nostr videos.

Helping somebody is often not about solving their problems. Everyone needs to grow into willingness to get rid of their issues. It's called a Gift Of Desperation. The timing varies. In the meantime the least we can give them is kindness.

Are we there yet? I don't think so. But I understand that some may do. GM. “What does it take for something to replace bitcoin (…)? It doesn't happen because someone invented a slightly better solution. Or even a much better solution. That won't work. Instead it can only happen if the system that already occupies this space fully, fails on its own. So in order for something to be the next bitcoin, first bitcoin has to fail. Like really, spectacularly fail. (…) The only way bitcoin fails is from the inside. It has to fail because of a critical vulnerability that cannot be fixed or the people don't want to fix. It has to fail because of a failure of community. It has to fail because of failure of trust or culture. (…) The moment it fails, every single competitor that has a slightly better solution, and specifically the ones that fix the thing that caused it to fail in the first place, will flood that environment and bootstrap something new. And if they're really smart, if they're really smart, they're going to call it bitcoin. Because that's the best branding you can do. And so it never dies (…).” Andreas Antonopoulos, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ftZgCEZos

Isn't that part about anger just their interpretation of the event? Or you think that the author was enlightened and he knew for sure that it was an angel sent because God got mad at the poor guy?

Yeah, that's a hard one. My approach is to assume God's love and mercy everywhere. Uzzah died. They interpreted it as God's wrath. But what if that was actually the best that could happen?

I dunno, I dunno, sounds like some cheap excuses 🤔

Erm, I can see some prints on their clothes. What happened to all the mud?

Because the spirit of the law (a.k.a. love) trumps the letter of the law.

Just a summer breakfast after morning church with my parents. Life is good. GM.

I hate this game passionately. Everyone in the world and their dog beat me at it.

And a perfect it was indeed 😎 If you're not walking with bitcoiners or at least meeting bitcoiners regularly, I'm begging you, please consider doing so. For instance it's very easy to start a bitcoinwalk in your area. Just go to https://bitcoinwalk.org/start-a-walk/ and follow the instructions. You even get a dedicated website from the getgo. And come visit us in Warsaw, there's a high chance you won't regret it.

A perfect loop.
