 i can’t stop thinking about the paella i had in ibiza and its becoming a problem. why can’t i get this anywhere 😭

her: hes probably thinking about other girls again.

no. its much much worse and i am ashamed to admit it. I should stop noting when i am drinking. #paellastr 
 Miami has some really good Peruvian paella (arroz con mariscos) if you’re ever in the area. Can’t remember the name of the restaurant though 😓 
 I love miami 
 is it in a walking area with a ton of shops and restaurants and they have outdoor seating area in the middle of the walkway? 
 There’s at least two places I know of. One of them is sort of close to Coral Gables and does have outdoor seating. Not sure it’s close to a lot of shops though. 
 noting while drinking is the BEST.   

Leave all vestiges of the façade behind an run with complete authenticity.  

Live Free and Nostr! 
 i like ur attitude 
 It is the one thing that will be missed in the future.

Authenticity.

For now, those here are - for the most part - truly themselves.  Zero need, or even desire, to consider the audience, the metrics or any need to "over produce" the notes.   As it should be.  As life should be.

Took me far to long in life to embrace this fact.  There is no going back.  The primary benefit is that I've passed on what I did end up learning to my two sons.  The greatest form of success.  
 I had some pretty amazing paella a few years ago in Barcelona. The black one had squid ink in it and was actually really good. https://i.nostr.build/CvnCoUHgV96aQ8rK.jpg  
 😭 i miss it 
 Hey Will, is Signal a good option for messaging with encryption for a regular Joe like me? Asking as a normie that just wants to learn 🫂 hoping you won’t reply with a cryptic message 😭 sometimes learning on nostr is like reading notes from the riddler

Also I’ve never tried Paella but it sounds rather lovely 🔥😂 I shall give it a go 
 nothing is safe. Best to have in person convos with phones off or far away 
 far away from people as well since all those apple air buds are hearing aids now... :D  
 Scared me a little 😂 thank you for being straight with me though, genuinely appreciate that 🫂🙏🏽 
 i reached peace of mind when i accepted true privacy is dead. 
there’s no going back, but that’s alright. 
 reject the black pill 

any little thing you do makes dragnet surveillance harder 
 I would try XMPP with Omemo, Or TOX. These are desentralized and have the best in their own right fundementals. 
 Signal is ok. That’s what I use. It covers the privacy needs for majority of the people. You can now also use it without sharing your number 
 I really like that I can add people by username 🫂💯 
 Signal has a great user experience and strong default privacy guarantees 

but you're only messaging with other people on Signal 
 You gotta make it yourself. It’s the only way 
 Those are the best notes 
 It’s not hard to make :) 
 Saffron is the problem? Or noone knows how to make it well?
