 Very nice. You have your protein, starch, vegetable and assumably, your dairy. Very well rounded.😁 
 What is something you are currently needing help with? 

#asknostr  
 Patience to deal with zoomers and Gen 2.0.😝 
 It doesn’t matter if it’s something you love if you’re still doing it for someone else. 
 What is it? Also, that information on the right is crooked, it’s driving my OCD nuts.🤪 
 I used to love those little stories at the end of an episode, you don’t see that anymore. Probably because no one. Area, which is sad but explains quite a lot. 
 I’ve seen a similar version of this, except the middle finger was a 3D representation and it was inside the mug. 
 Going all in on my hobby. For the longest time I was so fixated on work in the Fiat mines I got b... 
 I think after pretty hate machine, Trent brought on some more people. He would need them anyways for live events.

I used to play the drums but it has been quite some time. Mainly rock/metal. 
 What’s that about $100 dollars worth? 😅 
 Well, I know a full black truffle goes for roughly $500, so I guessed.

I’ve never had them myself but they must taste awfully good for that price. 
 So, if you’ve ever wondered what a zoomer remake of a gen X movie would look like, I give you twisters. It’s practically a carbon copy of the first, right down to some of the vehicles and even the white tank top that Helen wears. They even have a “Dorothy”, complete with the sensors and the little propellers added for the last two. Not sure how they got away with that.

They tried to tie it into the original movie by stating it has already been battle tested. Unfortunately, none of the original Dorothy’s survived, so he is full of shit. It didn’t even look the same.

I would probably burn the theater down if I paid to see this pile of 💩

This is why I pirate. #nostr 
 Having issues finding friend on nostr search of his handle. Same relays. Any suggestions?

 Is there a way to view #Twitter accounts on #Nostr yet?

Would be surprised if no, there’s some... 
 There’s a hacked bridge to the fediverse, xitter is not the fediverse. 
 Flash storage 
 It cost me almost $500 extra for a terabyte on my iPhone. 
 If it turns out she is the defacto candidate, she needs to prove she belongs there first.

Unlike other candidates, she was never chosen to be the presidential nominee.

Also, it’s cute that you think only men will have an issue with this.😂 
 No one is moving the goal posts ya twit.  I bet you have a face only a fist could love, you sound like it. MUTED 
 Well, thanks to that dumb fuck in the white house, there is no longer a definition for a woman. We know the difference, but you’re not allowed to point that out otherwise you could face a discrimination suit. When did pointing out a biological fact become discrimination? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Also, here’s something to remember in case you get caught up in a conversation and they ask you to define a woman. Since any of the normal metrics would be thrown back at you because not all women have them, don’t define what a woman is, define what only a woman can do and that will shut them down immediately.

For example, not all women have periods, but only biological women can have a period. Not all women can carry a child to term, but only biological women can carry a child to term.

Usually those two shut them right down because there is no whataboutism for them to attack you with. 
 Hopefully I’ll be dead by that point, LMAO.

 The only thing we are to the rest of the world, is a clown show and they’re not wrong.

 Cool part of having relays as part of the protocol design is that all of these are an option with... 
 Well, hopefully at some point, certain relays will only be used for certain things and you will only need to access a small amount of them to get the job down. 

As it stands, it’s a relay free for all and if you don’t have similar relays to people you follow, you won’t see their posts. And on the other side of that spectrum, some people have way too many relays and it just makes your experience worse rather than better. 

But yeah, we’re getting there. 
 Is it possible to look at "global" without having to disinfect your eyes afterwards? #asknostr 
 What do you mean and which app are you using? 
 Hello, I am a semi-retired and looking for the freedom and privacy Nostr can give us before it is... 
 Welcome.😊 
 That’s driving my OCD nuts.😜 
 There’s a time and place for surveillance. At the very least, it forces people to be held accountable for their actions.

Do you remember a couple years ago, the black kid that was beaten to death by, you guessed it, cops? Well, they might not have been charged if it wasn’t for CCTV capturing the whole thing. 
 It’s a shame he still is…

You do realize he’s just telling y’all what you want to hear, right? He has a very low opinion of his followers and silly comments like this, proves it. 
 Yeah, those aren’t cheap but they are really fucking cool. 
 To see if any fragments are left behind? That’s an interesting idea. I’m not sure how it would react with flesh.🤔 
 Can we get #threads ui experience on #Nostr? 
 Sure, build it. And when you’re done, let me know.😅 
 Hey Nostr! #introductions 
 That’s not an introduction…😐 
 But, you didn’t, that’s the point. 

You’re not the only one, quite a few people use that hashtag to reach a lot of people. Unfortunately, what they don’t realize is, it means nothing if I know nothing about you, it’s just another comment in my feed I scroll right by.

You don’t have to tell people your life story, lol, just a general idea of who you are and what brought you here. If you don’t want to, that’s fine as well, just don’t use that hashtag. 

Anyways, welcome to the party.😁 
 You’re a moron (speaking generally, not directly at you) if you think someone’s follower count is a valid metric for anything, it’s not. 

If you want reach, just use hashtags, more people will probably see that anyways. 😁 
 Agreed 
 Ok, so I have always been on the side of #Apple when it comes to policies that most people hate. I usually attribute it to their self-entitlement and/or age based ignorance, so I understand. 

However, I find myself scratching my head, in regards to why @Damus can’t zap people. 🤔

I mean, you’re not buying something from #damus, their subscription goes through Apple, so they are obviously getting their take from that, but why the fuck can’t we use zaps between users? 

One, you’re not technically sending cash and two, it’s between users, it has nothing to do with the client you’re using.

It can’t be as simple as, “if we’re not getting our cut, you can’t use it”, can it?

And if that’s the case, why is the zap option available on Primal?

#nostr #asknostr 
 Most companies can, but thanks for stopping by.. 
 I’m more interested in knowing, if you charged for the app and they got a piece of that, would they loosen up their restrictions on zaps? 

You could argue the subscription fee they get a piece of, but not everyone subscribes. 

Which brings me back to something I said earlier, they’re not going to host your app in their store for free, you would be stupid to think otherwise, so I’m not sure what you’re mad about.🤷🏻‍♂️

That would be like walking into Walmart, clearing some shelf space and then saying, hey, I am going to use your name and reach to push my product but I’m not going to give you anything for it. Yeah,  no, it doesn’t work that way. 
 Is there a way to zap posts on Damus for iPhone ?? #damus #nostr 
 I don’t like hacks and if I’m being honest, I don’t like the way the icon looks. Why is it the only one with a grey background? That kind of thing drives me nuts.😜 
 #asknostr


Is nostr largely right leaning? Or is it just my feeds?

I know the right flees to pl... 
 If that makes you feel better about your asinine comment.😂

For the record, I’m neither left or right, I don’t box myself in like that. 
 It wasn’t an anti anything, lol. You’re talking about getting right leaning people out of your feed, I just pointed out that they’re there because you put them there. If they’re using a tag you follow, just mute the individuals and carry on. 
 Ahh, well you didn’t mention that. I try to stay out of the global feed. 😝

I consider it all of the leftovers that I didn’t want, lol. 
 I don’t follow anyone, I use hashtags of my interests. That way, my feed is only filled with my interests and people who share those interests.

Granted, this only works with Damus, as all of the other clients use your following lists to fill your feed. If I open primal, I don’t see anything in my feed because I’m not following anyone, hahaha. 
 I am thinking one can break a #Bitcoin KYC trail if they sell BTC for physical cash in-person.

T... 
 If you don’t mind paying higher fees for your privacy, you do you, I haven’t lost anything. Y’all need to loosen up the tinfoil, you’re not that important. 
 For the plebs going to Nashville, i'm counting on you to purple pill Trump !

 Yeah, too bad he missed. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 Zaps are the zero emotion way of exchanging value for a post. Removing the react would turn nostr... 
 I’m just happy we don’t have up/down votes or counts, that shit is useless and can be divisive and misleading.
