 I hate that for you. I hope it doesn’t discourage you from using it and engaging. 

#nostr really is a place where people are actively working to make the world (or at a minimum the internet) a better place. It’s a protocol where you can have honest engagement and earn sats for sharing. 

Like everything there are people that use it but don’t truly represent it. It’s an open protocol so everyone can note what they like. Those people are noise.

Find your signal. Curate your follow list. Mute what doesn’t serve you. Play around with relays. Nostr is awesome if you make it that way. 
 Home sick 🤒 Got the 'vid 🤧🤢 
 So sorry 🫂 Hopefully you feel better soon 💞🌻 
 Oh no, if you can get your hands on ivermectin that’ll help you out tremendously. If not staying away from dairy and carbohydrates will help you keep the mucus under control. Bone broth and hot teas with apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and cayenne pepper will also help you out. 

Sending you loving energy 🌻 
 You will!!! You’ve totally got this🦾

 Get rid of the alts and stack sats. There is no other option for bitcoin. 
 Ever explain #Bitcoin to someone close and just watch their expressions blow up? Not really fully... 
 It’s beautiful!! Genuinely like watching a flower begin to bloom. 🌻 I’m so hype for you!!! 
 Crazy. I knew Kamala was blowing money fast when YouTubers and lifestyle vloggers were telling viewers to vote for her. I just didn’t realize everyone was donating to both sides. Can’t trust red or blue. It’s only orange for me. 

Imagine watching a makeup tutorial and she stops to tell you to vote for Kamala… then goes on to tell you why. 😂🤣 excuse me sis, what palette are you using?? That’s the only reason I’m here. Come to find out the Kamala campaign was paying them thousands of dollars to support her. 
 The AIDS epidemic of the 80s was pure hoax perpetrated upon the global population for control and... 
 Seriously?? How do you know it’s a hoax? 

I definitely thought aids was a real thing that was killing military aged men and unsuspecting women. I thought it came as a consequence of the Haight Asbury free love movement and intravenous drug usage perpetuated by the CIA. 
 Interesting… recently word on the curb was hiv/aids and HSV 2 are running rampant in Houston, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. When I was single, I remember going to get testing done at a labcorp and feeling so bad for a man that was given the “aids” diagnoses by the center admins. He was devastated. 
Are you saying he didn’t actually have a virus? Or are you saying he had something that was synthesized to be aids? 


I’ve never thought about this so I’m intrigued. Are you suggesting that in present day aids is not an actual virus but more so a consequence of onlyfans culture, drug abuse, vaccine abuse, and/or insufficient nutrition?? Similar to the 80’s?? It would explain the narratives that make people believe the 🏳️‍🌈 community is bigger than it is and push the PREP drugs on the youth to support big pharma… 
 Interesting. This is a rabbit hole I’m going to jump down. I never took time to look into aids research. Do you have any independent studies or articles that might back up your theory? 
 ON THE GENEALOGY OF WOKENESS

Most people misunderstand the origins of contemporary "woke" ideolo... 
 Thank you for explaining!!! It’s very eye opening and makes so much sense! Crazy how internet culture bled over into politics which then impacted the way we relate to one another. Men are so important to keeping society sane. 

I wanted to be a tumblr girl so bad but my mom kept my schedule so jam packed I had to use it for a blog. 😂😂 It was the cool thing in my HS to have a massive following and I remember thinking I was a loser for not knowing how they got thousands of followers … but to your point those “cool” girls are the ones who were shutting me out for talking about bitcoin on FB in 2019. A lot of them are also now 30 unmarried boss babes … or some sort of “wine” mom. 

My first year of college (2013) I was so focused on making A’s without gaining the freshman 40 that I didn’t spend anytime online for “fun” however by graduation in 2016/2017 I feel like “woke” was everywhere and those who were actually woke were blazing trails. Gahh, my brains is reeling. 

2020 everyone on my FB was screaming about “woke” being so bad it felt like a dogwhistle for anti-blackness because the loudest ones had Dixie flag backgrounds … it makes sense that it was actually the social media culture I was involved in that made it appear that way. 

I really appreciate you clarifying this. I feel like some sort of crash test dummy not realizing how transformative and impactful the internet has been… especially as a teenage girl. 
 Wokeness (to the level it’s risen to today) wasn’t brought into progressive politics until Hi... 
 The term “woke” is really confusing to me. I remember seeing it and using it as a call to action because Black Americans were waking up and starting to discuss their disillusionment with the Democratic Party, mainstream religion, and the agenda being pushing on us after Obama. I only ever heard it used to describe based blacks dedicated to educate their people. Then all of a sudden organizations and political groups like BLM and LGBTQia+ co-opted it to persuade angry people into activism. It became a slur and a way of describing transgenderism, CRT, and social activist. 

I know the term originated from the Bible where the select chosen people were trying to wake up the spiritually asleep masses but like most things from the Bible it gets twisted and reshaped into evil. 

Are you saying wokeism is a leftist thing now or that progressives have co-opted it again to push an agenda?? 
 GM. I'm up early for work. How's your morning? 
 Blessed. No complaints!!! I hope you have an amazing workday 🌻 
 Nice people suck. They’re typically really fake and passive aggressive. Be Kind and genuinely change the world… or at a minimum make someone else’s day. nostr:note162knkzpt4e5z92a35qv8n3vnesawewejkfmcn8kr69s22y9m627s4vghmk 
 I disagree. Being kind is a virtue. It makes up a persons character. Being nice is an attribute of pleasant society. It yields passive aggressive attitudes and permits micro aggressions. It’s a show of civility to reflect kindness while enabling self-righteousness and hiding true feelings. 

For example hiding one’s true opinion to maintain a pleasant atmosphere is nice. Withholding honest feelings while plastering a smile on your face to not cause a problem is nice. Pretending to enjoy something that is displeasing, offensive, or lackluster is nice. Empty compliments and sweet words are nice. 

Being honest is being genuine. You seek to tell the truth without hurting the recipient of the action. It yields understanding, empathy, and compassion. It enables joy. It’s telling the truth and/or finding the truth. It can be humiliating at times but that builds character. 

I don’t cut people out of my life easily. I protect my peace by paying attention when people show me who they are. Then I move accordingly. 
 Idk if it’s a battle or a choice with tangible consequences 😂 
 I’m not a man so I can’t agree or disagree. 

It’s been my experience/understanding that niceness exploded with integration. As soon as it became politically unacceptable for people to outwardly express their disdain niceness became an agenda that was pushed onto school aged children. Female role models and influences began marketing niceness as a way to overcome unjustified discomfort and it evolved into everyone getting a trophy. Before integration, it was a difference of class and those with class who were kind interacted respectfully with those deemed “beneath” them. Nice people acknowledged them
but also ignored the havenots. 

An English teacher once told me that the women’s lib movement was actually the dismantling of masculinity to push niceness onto Americans. He said the goal was to lull the youth to sleep and enrage the men to prison. That’s why “nobody likes the nice guy” I thought he was an asshole but maybe you’re right. 
 No need to shut up!! I love words and think it’s okay to wrestle with them. You’re being kind by showing others grace and you don’t want people to be excluded. That’s nice 😊 

I try to avoid labeling things good and bad. It’s too objective and devoid of nuance. Because you see nice as good you naively misjudged that person as someone whose opinion should matter. It happens to all of us. I kinda think that’s one of the things that will harden a persons heart. You protect yourself from those people by understanding kindness is the sheep’s clothing. The sheep are kind. 

People who have to act nice or make sure they are nice are the wolves. They don’t want to be exposed so they cloak themselves in pleasantries. They get in good with kind people and eventually hurt them. 

Life is too short and peace is too hard to come by to spend time learning other people. I truly believe a person will tell you exactly who they are and how to treat them if you pay attention and listen. Sure, they may be awesome people but that doesn’t necessarily entitle them access to you. 
 Good morning! Remember, coffee doesn't ask silly questions. Coffee understands

 Good Morning!! 
 Took my bike out 
Hoped on over to the nature preserve 20ish min bike ride ready to see some wild... 
 Glad you were safe!! 
 Oh ok. I figured it was closed for winter because of bears 😂😂 and you were lucky to make it out!! Glad your morning is off to an interesting start though!! You’re gonna have a great day🌻 
 😂😂😂😂 that’s good!! I also have perspective now. It’s really cold there!! You’re a phenom for biking 20 mins in the cold 🦾🦾 way to be!!! 
 🥰🥰🚵🫶🏽🦾🌻 
 Good Morning!!! 

Bless someone today with your kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. These are all tender mercies that can easily be extended to others when you set aside your egotistical, judgmental, and haughty nature. 

Being a blessing and extending tender mercies is easiest when you lower yourself and elevate others. 

Have a great weekend #nostr 🧡🌻💜 
 Same to you!!! 
 Thank you! 
 So true!! That’s why you gotta love on them despite how they receive you. Being kind to them and understanding their perspective disarms them. Their pain/hurt is no longer a weapon.

It also doesn’t give them an excuse to mistreat you. Reading body language and acknowledging social cues is a great way to protect both parties. 
 Good morning!! 
 Good Morning Pierre 🌻 
 I see a Nostrich and a tulip!!! It’s gonna be a great day 🫶🏽

 How accurate is it? 
 Idk if it’s really cool or kinda creepy 😅 either way it’s intriguing!! 
 Ooh, bless your heart🌻 that’s a lot. I’m glad you made it home safely 💞

There must something in the water😂😂 I am currently dealing with being disappointed by a loved one getting her back blown out… it’s unfun. 

Love on those babies! They love you so much and missed you that much more 🫶🏽🌻🫂 
 Do you go out with Bitcoin merch? Or you think is bad OpSec? 
 I wear my stuff with discretion. Conferences for sure I wear them, meetups too but I try my hardest to not where it in airports. 
 🔥 Good Luck 🌻

 I’m sure it wasn’t that bad from the audience’s perspective. At least you got up there and gave it a shot. Proud of you 👏🏽🫶🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌻

 At least you had the courage to try!! Way to go! 🦾🦾
Have you tried your local barbershop or beauty salon? The no chargeback feature is something they may really value. 
 The only way to help someone in this day and age is to teach them about #bitcoin then tell them to get some. Anything else will turn your kindheartedness into a shitcoin.

 😂😂 you beat me to it!! 
 Totally get it and I agree but trauma bonding via video posts on TikTok seems unnatural. 
 😂😂 reminds me of season changing from summer to fall and my mom saying “it’s time for these girls to get a personality because being naked won’t work in the winter” 

They’re going to have to learn effective communication skills or stfu and gain perspective. 
 True. The food is bad, the water is bad, the relationship between healthcare and big pharma is bad. All of it yields a mental health disaster. 

Going back to the basics of honest living is the best remedy imo 
 Is there a reason why I have to hit the zap button 3-6 times to send a zap? It doesn’t happen every time but I’d say 80% of the time in order to zap I have to bang on the ⚡️ I’m committed to zapping but this is like month 2 and I’m getting insecure 🥺Do they not want my zaps??
