This is my exact experience as well. I wonder if I should switch to using Sonnet so that I can have more time before auto-compact gets forced on me.

Could you elaborate in what ways money influenced Turkey to speak out about it, where others didn't? I'm intensely curious about this.

To me, participating in these markets is akin to telling people you have a hot tip on a game of musical chairs where you know when the music is going to stop.

I've played those games successfully, a la GME and BTC. But I don't feel good about the proposition. I feel more and more that Charlie Munger is mostly right on this one.

My money is resoundingly on yes. I'm deeply cynical about NFT's the same way I'm cynical about Beanie Babies and Pokémon & MtG cards. It's not for me, but I get it, and they'll likely do quite well in terms of investment returns.

there's actually an interesting argument that i first heard Diane Fleischman pose -- that chicken is worse than beef on a calorie/animal measure and so would harm more animals because it takes more chickens to feed x people than it does cows, and so more animals suffer for the same amount of food produced.

it's like a combination between ad-hoc live podcasting and radio call-in shows. your question "what is clubhouse exactly?" is about as straightforward to answer as "what is the internet?". it's a new medium, with all the good and bad that brings.
