 I haven’t heard anyone call me by my real name in so long … 😂 
 I am become Kat, the bearer of bad jokes 
 Daniel! 
 Busted! 😮 
 Wouldn’t it be crazy if that was actually your name and I just guessed it out of the air 
 Yeah it would 
 How are you doing, Bob? 

Big plans for the weekend, Mike? 

Things going okay, John? 
 😂 I have a legal name which I almost never use, and then the name I go by - basically a nym and this one. I’m a nym pretending to be a nym pretend to be a person 😂 
 I relate to this on a spiritual level.

I have a legal name which never gets used, a nym that everyone IRL knows me by, and a nym that is a canine member of the Bitcoin Cult.

This nym does the most talking.

 I used to work at a place that was part seasonal and part permanent.

The permanent guys WITHOUT FAIL called all of the seasonal guys "Jim."

They didn't bother remembering names. Just called everyone Jim.

It was beautiful.  
 Sometimes I forget that I have a middle name. 
 Haha awesome 
 I'd settle for just being jim and getting shit done.   Everyone should be named Jim until they accomplish something.  FWIW, until my son reaches the age of 20, I should just be called jim 
 Right? 
 We are all Fren. 
 People still use real names? 
 what's Real anymore?     
 Sure Kur-Naaje
