> Can Twitter be decentralized

---

Through blockchain, it is possible but not worth the effort. It would have to be coded from scratch. Understand, Twitter is a relic from the earliest days of Web 2.0 - Dorsey should've pulled the plug years ago but he's a stubborn hipster moron and as long as the subsidies continue to roll in his direction, he has no incentive to implement genuine improvements. In fact, he knows that Twitter's days are numbered and he has already dumped most of his shares. Ironically, Musk owns more of Twitter than he does. This is not by accident but by design. Jack Dorsey, as clueless as he may be, has seen the writing on the wall...

> and can Musk do it?

---

A better question: Why should he? Musk should continue to improve Tesla because that company's potential is strong (but its QC is questionable at best) and focus on SpaceX because it's one of the most dynamic enterprises to date. If SpaceX were publicly-traded, I would grab as much of it as I could. Getting back to tech sites / apps, there are basically two types: A) Content, which can be easily monetized and B) User Engagement, which are not easily monetized and very expensive to maintain / operate. As a "business model," Twitter is NOT sustainable. Truth be told, it's a bottomless pit and while it may be a great vehicle for speculation (at least for the time being), Musk is long-term player and far more savvy than Dorsey could ever hope to be. Let's be honest. Twitter's board wants nothing to do with Musk and it has already swallowed a "poison pill" (Google that if you aren't familiar with the practice). This will likely screw most of its current shareholders and if I was a major investor in Twitter, I would dump all shares before Musk makes his next major move.

TL;DR - speculate Twitter, invest in Tesla, piggyback entities working with SpaceX.

My wardrobe could possibly be described as above average redneck. Smart style and colour coordinated. I don't usually wear any clothes that have logos on them (i.e., American Eagle, Adidas, etc.) In terms of colour coordinated, I mostly wear clothes with a single colour. I don't like wearing a piece of clothing with 2 colours in it. So white Oxford dress shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes is something I would normally wear. Usually safe business-casual/preppy (or as some would say "old man style"). But I also really enjoy outfits from other styles depending on the weather/location. I enjoy brightly colored streetwear styles and have some outfits that could match that as well. Fore example, I love and have a leather bomber jacket , but am looking into branching into moto riders and double riders for fun as I also love that kind of style too).
I think most people would describe my style as kind of hipster. I usually wear patterned short sleeve dress shirts with butterfly patterns, polka dots, floral patterns, etc., not the usual stripes or things like that even though I wear that as well (I live in Miami which means I am wearing short sleeves everyday), I like to wear shorts and sneakers (Converse is my go to) with those shirts, but I sometimes dress it up with jeans or other long pants that I pair with boots or brogues and I think it looks awesome. When I am someplace cold, I love the badass leather jacket with boots and jeans. I wish I could do that more often, I think men's fashion is much better when it comes to cold weather clothing than warm weather.
I calmed down a bit after realizing I wasn't really going to wear suits that often. Around this time heritage workwear became big, especially in Brooklyn. I started going to the Pop up Flea and men's fashion parties. At the time I worked for APC and had my standard raw denim. Picked up some Red Wings and some other workwear staples (Barbour coat, quilted vests, Filson tote). Kind of fell out of this look as I still felt too buttoned up. Plus every guy around me was starting to look like a Made in American poster board. After I started getting into weight lifting and approaching my late 20's, I really began to find my style. I had always been a streetwear kid at heart and began to discover brands that did that aesthetic in a more mature manner. I had the opportunity to work with some cool brands and filled my closet with Acne, Our Legacy, Norse Projects, John Elliot and others. I mixed in pieces from Supreme, Palace or Dime to give my look a more relaxed feel.
Artsy, polished, and classic: I have staples in natural fabrics and classic shapes, combined with statement pieces mostly from vintage shops. My closet is mostly blouses, midi skirts and slim trousers. I like accessories in unusual colours and interesting textures. Technical fabrics/athleisure aren't really my thing, though I own two pairs of minimal leather sneakers.

Most of my weekends are like that! My usual Saturday: sleep in, wake up whenever, my SO makes us breakfast and coffee, we lay around in pajamas and watch tv. Then we go out for lunch to some place we love or have been waiting to try. After we walk around a town and poke in shops or the farmers market. If the weather's nice we go hiking or to the beach. If not, we go shopping or visit friends. Sometimes we do road trips to local places or historic sites. Then we'll either plan for dinner out or buy groceries and make dinner at home. Some weekends we have tickets to shows and go see bands play. If so, we'll stay out, grab drinks at the bar. Then we come home and chill. Sex, usually. And then bed.
Wake up early, coffee in the dark, while the house is silent. Head out the door for a morning run as the sun comes up. Home again and load up the boards and wetsuits.Throw some good shit in the crock pot and head out for a surf session with my kids and hubby. Go out and get exhausted in the water. Change into warm, comfy sweats and stop for a round of coffee/hot chocolate on the way home. Eat the good shit from the crock pot and then tuck in for an afternoon nap. Lazy for the rest of the day. Read or watch movies. Hot tea. Or a good beer. Sunset stroll on the beach. Then fall asleep early while reading a good book.
I like the idea of being able to make a really delicious breakfast, early in the morning, while catching up on my favorite podcasts. I have plans with friends to go shopping or go to a museum and we stop at some cute little ice cream shop and talk for a long, long time. Then I go get my family's favorite take-out with a bottle of Barefoot pink moscato and a cheesecake. My mom and sister and I fall asleep on the couch in the middle of a "Say Yes to the Dress" marathon. I wake up and read in bed until 2 am and fall asleep with the book in my face. Wake up naturally around 8. Head to a bakery and buy myself a nice pastry. Then wander around the little shops for a bit before slipping into a small bookstore. Browse for probably way too long, as I have no sense of time when I go into bookstores. Well, sleep in. And wake and bake for sure. Then I would indulge in breakfast at my favorite diner with my SO. Then we would take a walk by the lakefront, maybe stop for a honey latte. Then, we would go to the motherfucking antique shop, or to a cutesy hipster "shop local" place, or even our Public Market. Then we'd get diner as a gastropub or cantina, and end the night with cocktails at a beer hall type place, or a beer garden. That would be my absolute perfect day!
I sleep in a little, have sex with my SO. Then we get up, shower and go out to our favorite breakfast joint. Then we head to the farmers market for some veggies, meat and other things for dinner. When we get home we take the dogs out to the park or for a long walk somewhere. If it's nice out, we go to the dog beach.

No I ordered it knowing what it was and enjoyed it fully. I ate it once and vomitted. It's horrible. However, burgers are a very different thing, let me explain. If you grind the meat yourself from one cut, it is pretty safe to eat mid-rare. However, minced meat often comes from many different cuts it is very possible that it will carry the E.coli bacteria, which can result in serious infections in your intestines. Many food health & safety agencies therefore suggest not to eat minced meat when it's not cooked through.I have always been asked how I want a steak cooked, even dirty backstreet pubs. On mainland Europe I doubt they do anything but rare steaks. Rare burgers you do see in more hipster places, but most people find it a bit gross I suppose. May be a leftover of the days when it was best to cook mince all the way through.
In Ireland, you'd have no problem getting a steak cooked rare and I've never had a problem in other countries. With burgers though, I don't know why you'd order rare, you're meant to cook minced meat through. You cant really get a steak blue here anymore though.
Yeah, hamburger meat is more often cooked more thoroughly. If you don't mind me getting all sciency... The reason is that the pathogens that can make you sick aren't generally inside the actual meat tissue, just on the surface of it from outside contamination. So for a steak, you can usually kill anything harmful growing on it by just heating the outside surfaces of it. But hamburger is all ground up, so what was the outside surface is mixed throughout the burger. So you would have to cook it all the way through to kill everything.
Of course if the meat is carefully handled and not contaminated in the first place, you can eat it raw (steak tartare) with only minor risk.
I eat a lot of rare/raw meat and to be honest, I had these sort of thoughts back when I first got into it, but I've never gotten sick from it. The only times I've had food poisoning was from fully cooked food, once from IHOP, and once from a Mexican place. Tldr: it might seem scary but it's almost always safe, you'll get used to the feeling and not think about it if you eat it more often. No. And after having seen that Mr Bean episode my tastes strangely changed almost immediately from medium rare to well done... 😳

Sie wird zerbrechen oder zurück oszillieren. Wenn alle identitätsstiftenden Narrative ausgemerzt sind, könnte lediglich die reine Vernunft die Menschen einen.

---

Und das wird nicht passieren, seien wir ehrlich.

---

Eine Gesellschaft braucht Mythen, Dogmen und vielleicht sogar Ideologien, um zusammenzuhalten und sich ein gemeinsames Ziel im größeren Ganzen zu setzen.
Ohne derartige übergeordnete Instanzen fühlt man sich verloren. Menschen brauchen eine extrinsische Motivation und einen auferlegten Sinn. Etwas, wofür sie gemeinsam leben und sterben können.
Gott, Staat, Freiheit, Bruttoinlandsprodukt - worauf auch immer man gerade besonders steht...

---

Doch wenn jeder sein eigenes Süppchen kocht, dann isst man auch nicht mehr zusammen.

---

Individualismus ist hier und da ganz schön, aber der Mensch ist ein inhärent soziables Wesen, er will mit anderen zusammen sein. Er wird diesen Weg nicht lange allein gehen können und zurück in Identitätsmuster und Dogmen fallen.

---

Und wenn wir uns mal auf der Welt umschauen: Die Überindividualisierung ist doch schon in vollem Gange.
Und was passiert: Der Nationalismus greift wieder um sich und Hipster sehen alle gleich aus.

Amuzant, nu-i asa?
Sa imi vorbesti despre oamenii care nu stiu sa isi lase orgoliul afectat in acelasi timp in care ai spus mai mult "ma" decat un balbait care vrea sa spuna care-i fructul interzis.
De asemenea, iti acord un minim respect, folosind apelativul de "domn" in prezenta ta, desi nu te-ai preta la un asemenea apelativ nici cu fierul de calcat, si totusi survin injurii de maidan combinate cu cu inversiuni de parca esti un hipster dislexic. Amuzant, nu?
Pari atat de plin de tine incat ti-as spune sa-ti cumperi servetele, dar nu reprezinti o cauza in care sa depun prea mult efort. Pari doar un fir de praf care mi-ar descarca un cartus in care-si atesta superioritatea, insa la cat de repede te aprinzi, cred ca ar trebui sa fii privat de oxigen pentru a evita o combustie spontana. Sa ai o zi faina daca nu te-a bagat in depresie faptul ca nu-mi poti da replica.

Piękny cytat, jest w tym jakaś racja,jeśli za kimś tęsknimy to znak że przeżyliśmy z nim dużo dobrych lub złych cheil. Zgadzam się z tym .
Czy ja za kimś tęsknie? Hmm...
Są takie osoby, między innymi moja przyjaciółka z wakacji, przez pewien czas ubolewałam że straciłyśmy kontakt ,teraz wiem że ktoś z góry nade mną czuwa. (widzę w jakim towarzystwie się obraca i co ze sobą robi ,jak się niszczy). Jest też parę osób z mojej wakacyjnej Ekipy ale to raczej nic takiego .
Jest też jedna osoba za którą bardzo tęsknię ,gdy go mijam czuję że mi go brakuje. Gdy zmierza w moją stronę i już myślę że chcę obok mnie usiąść ,siada obok innej. Jest to dla mnie bardzo ciężkie. Jeszcze rok temu spotykaliśmy się ,wychodziliśmy gdzieś ,chciał mnie zabrać w jego ukochane miejsce. Ale gdy powiedziałam Co do niego czuje sprawa się pokomplikowała, szkoda bo liczyłam na dużo z jego strony. Gdy chciałam z nim pogadać po paru tygodniach,powiedział że w sumie go to nie obchodzi. Od początku roku ,muszę patrzeć jak za każdym razem siada obok kiedyś bliskiej mi osoby. Do tej pory nie umiem tego zrozumieć , zmieniłam się, ubieram się inaczej można powiedzieć "w jego stylu", staram się być miła ,zawsze super nam się gadało a on woli dziewczynę która grzebie w nosie ,zjada je , ubiera się jak hipster z lat 80 ,nie kontroluje się ,ciągle przeklina krzyczy i nie dba o higienę. Nie mam o sobie żadnego dziwnego ,wygórowanego zdania ale jest to różnica totalna. Staram się z tym pogodzić i myśleć o chłopaku który od paru tygodni wpatruje we mnie oczy, przyznam szczerze że bardzo mnie intryguje.
Jest też pewna osoba z którą nigdy nie miałam kontaktu ,więc czy mogę za nią tęsknić?
Zdążyłam się pogodzić z utratą mi bliskich. Dzisiaj już wiem ,że są zbyt niedojrzali do podjęcia decyzji, którą ja podjęłam. ?

"Der Mensch" ist für mich vor Allem eine künstliche Kategorie, eine Einteilung die wir selbst machen. Eine so grobe Vereinfachung, dass sie nichts mehr mit dem zu tun hat, was sie verständlich machen will.
Setze nebeneinander zehn Menschen von verschiedenen Kontinenten, aus verschiedenen Gegenden und Kulturen und du wirst kaum Dinge finde die auch nur auf mehr als zwei oder drei zutreffen. Menschen sind Individuen, auch wenn sie zwanghaft versuchen sich anzupassen, unauffällig zu werden oder ihr eigenes Denken abschalten und Anderen überlassen. Schon verschiedene Kulturen können komplett unterschiedliche Werte, Ideale, Regeln und Glaubensformen haben. Ein Stadtbewohner denkt in vielen Dingen anders als jemand vom Land. Ein Bewohner einer Metropole wird auch nochmal vieles ganz anders sehen.
Ein Gothic, ein Hip Hop Fan und ein Hipster haben eine komplett andere Weltsicht. Ein Millennial und ein Baby Boomer (auch wenn ich beide Begriffe unglaublich unpassend und künstlich finde) stimmen in nur sehr wenigen Punkten überein.
Und dann will man Aussagen über den Menschen allgemein treffen, die für jeden gültig sind?
