 Nostr is when unusually intelligent, capable, and generous women, many of whom have financially supported their families, get ranted at by men who freak out at the idea of paying for a cup of coffee and think women are all selfish and greedy.

Maybe you're getting back what you're putting in, buddy. 
 Making new friends again 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ 
 I haven't been this popular, since I started weeding the porn out of my feed. 😂 
 I missed some notes it seems. I’ll have to catch up 😂 
 It was fun. You missed all the new drama. 
 I've got 123 people on my mute list and they just keep stepping up to be added. 😂 
 The list of people looking for drama:

 Nostrdom. They just show up in my threads to get that mute-satisfaction.

I should start charging them, for the pleasure of it. 
 Not quite understood the definition of Nostr been explained in your post since you started your sentence with “Nostr is when…”

Just curious, how fast those women chose left their men when they sensed the unpleasant behavior of their men? And what’s your suggestion on the timing selection ? 
 Why is this "nostr" 

I don't think the actions of individuals speaks to the protocol.  
 It sorta does, since Nostr attracts libertarians and this is what that movement's underbelly often looks like.

I guess Mastadon's equivalent are radfems or something. 
 Perhaps I'm ignorant of the noise. I think you've got the wrong idea of libertarians. Don't confuse the belief system or the protocol with the actions of individuals. Focus on the signal. We out here to build the future.  
 Anything offering almost absolute freedom will attract the best and worst of humanity. The worst have nowhere else to go but more obscure places, and the best want it to be a beacon of hope. It's the natural consequence of such systems.

 Yeah. It is, what it is. 
 Thomas Sowell. That's who the quote is from. Good one too.  
 Oh! Yes, he's great! I will need to find time to read some of his work. I fear I have said this about 30 people already. 
 😂 You should read it! 
 Which book is recommended? I can't promise I will get around to it for a few years 😅 
 I actually started with "Late Talking Children", which was a godsend.

I didn't know he was an economist, until after reading that and looking for more books. 😂 
 I'll be sure to add it to my server! 
I know of him due to his connections to the monetarist Chicago school of econ, working with Milton Friedman and the like, but I never read their books. 
 His basic economics book is the go to for anyone that doesn't understand econ.  
 All i know is that i like unusually intelligent capable generous women 
 So do they, they just don't want to admit it because we don't reciprocate. So, they just try to get negative attention from us.

Kindergarden never ends, for some folk. 
 I suggested that I expected men to at least offer to pay for drinks or dinner, or whatever, on the first date.

Much hilarity ensued. 🙄 
 No problem with that. But if I have to be asked, then I’ve already failed.  
 Fr fr. I've never been asked to pay, but I'd probably have just cracked up laughing.

Am I on candid camera, or something? 😂 
 It looked like a very fierce discussion 🫣- it had claws and teeth all the way through 😬 
 Almost need a 🚬, after all that excitement. Going on a walk, instead, tho, since I don't smoke. 😂

Me, having a virtual smoke:

 Grin! Happy walking 😘 
 Que MI MI MI do caralho!

Essa merda de rede já vai encher das merdas que existem no twitter agora. PQP!

 Personal responsibility? Are you flinging shit at the other sex and expecting it to make you friends with them?

It sounds like you think you are unusually intelligent, capable, and generous, but you may just be older than 40 and lacking prospects that will pay for your coffee. 
 LOL handle checks out. 
 Nostr: where bots can be first class citizens too.  
 😂 
 It’s not censorship to mute and move on, imo

Similarly I mute the ladies who post provocative photos of their mammories for zaps and attention and that’s not censorship either, it’s just the right move 
 Of course, that's not censorship. 

I wish those guys would mute me, but they get a kick out of arguing with me, so here we are. 🤷‍♀️ 
 Well, now I am curious... I'm going to have to find this thread to read (I haven't been on in a while) 
 Bring 🍿 
 Well now you're making it sound entertaining. 
 It was.

They don't realize that I actually like most of the men I'm arguing with, so they chime in and think they're going to get a round of applaus, and my bros be like

 Aren't most of the women on here sex workers ?  
 How does it feel as a woman to interact with many kinds of people in an uncensored network? 
 It makes me grateful to be married.
