Author's note I no longer hold some of the opinions I professed in this post. These opinions include the pseudo-science status of more than two genders. I have come to recognize that there is scientific

A note a year later: The goal I set for myself in this post was overly ambitious. While I am proud of my writing in the English language, I am nowhere near as good of a writer as I could be, even in my

Awesome! I'll be looking forward to it. It's not a big deal for now, but it'll be really convenient when it gets added.

Great tool. I spent a little while browsing around on it and I have a little feature suggestion: add a way to change the post links to direct to other steem interfaces than just steemit. I use busy.org

This I'm about to write a post inspired by this idea. It's been mulling around in my mind for a while, but thanks for bringing it back to the front of my conscious.

I think this is a very valid concern and I can see this happening as well, powerful mining pools and large mining companies already dictate large parts of bitcoin consensus (see the segwit contraversy

One of my friends and I discussed something related to this once. He had helped somebody cheat on a test and had been running all of the worst-case scenarios through is mind for if he got caught. He proposed

So after the pool is empty we don't get rewards anymore? That's what it sounds like

Apparently I have an incorrect understanding of steem, because I thought rewards were newly minted coins. How do rewards get made if that's not the case? Do i just misunderstand what steem power is? That's

I'm checking out Thewritersblock, it seems like it would be good for me as a writer

Thank you :) I actually already use busy.org, I like it a lot better than the steemit interface, the notifications are a major plus.

I think I qualify as a "little steemian" :) but I'm not on discord. Are there any groups you can point me to? I did a little searching but I'm not sure how to find a discord group that fits me.

When you say traditional comments, with those examples, do you mean that as the substance, or verbatim? I constantly leave comments under posts explaining why I like them, or what makes them interesting

I find myself commenting under a lot of your posts, generally without a whole lot of additional content aside from restating parts of the piece and saying I agree with them or am interested by them. Does

Your second tag is "fiction"... does that mean this is a joke? I see a lot of comments either believing it or playing along if it is... If not, this is disturbing, to say the least. Also, if

This is an interesting post, I never though of the use of black and white as "leveling the playing field", but it's a very intriguing idea. I dabble in graphic art (I'm not very good so I don't

I would argue that the right reason would be more in the interest of learning for learnings sake, and the persuit of knowledge. Learning something to be better at something else may be a start, but it

I must admit, I'm guilty of claiming to love learning new things, but only meaning things that I find interesting or expect to be good at. I think you raise a good point about being hindered by this attitude.

I agree with most of this, although I think you are slightly overplaying the mortality rate of depression vs cancer. It is true that suicide is the leading cause of death in young adults (at least to my
