"The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it."

"A good tool is an invisible tool. By invisible, I mean that the tool does not intrude on your consciousness; you focus on the task, not the tool.”

Both remarks made by renowned computer scientist and former CTO of the legendary Xerox PARC, Mark Weiser, in 1997 and 1993, respectively.

Got it sorted. Email isn’t listed on iPad UI only iPhone. Once I redownloaded it on my phone it was pretty simple to sort. Thanks!


Yep. Done and done. Everything is sorted with Spotify.


I had to download it on my phone again. It doesn’t show email address on iPad.


There’s no email listed


There’s no email address listed. Just a randomly generated string of numbers under username. I’m feeling like a dumbass right now.


Where? I feel like I’ve looked under every tab in settings.


I have to login to contact customer support. I’ve tried their help articles. Says try using the email address you think it might be. It will respond invalid if that’s not the email we have. Apparently they have all my emails and somehow none of my accounts have ever received an email from Spotify. 🤦🏼♀


So I have a Spotify account I should’ve downgraded to the free version when I switched to Tidal. Here’s the rub. I can’t find the login for Spotify. Can’t figure out which email it’s associated with and unless I have some email address that I can’t recall. I’m at a total loss. I’m still logged on to Spotify on my iPad. Poked around and can’t figure out how I setup my account originally. I’ve checked every email address for a previous email from Spotify nothing. I just don’t want to be charged again for something I’m not using. Help #AskNostr #Spotify

Do it! The answer is always no if you never ask!


Seven-and-twenty was not an uncommon way for people to say their age at one point British history. It’s not common these days. I think it was even a bit old fashioned by the Victorian period.


Seven and twenty means 27


Check online, they normally have a request page. If you do pop in, librarians do love to be of assistance in my experience. My local library has some programs that go beyond books. Like seasonal cookie cutter lending and a tool library.


I like it because the character Charlotte Lucas in Pride and Prejudice accepts the ridiculous cousin Mr. Collins’ offer of marriage, because she’s 27 and already a burden to her parents. Also seven-and-twenty makes the response rhyme.


Check your local library to see what Bitcoin books they have. Either request them or offer to donate them for circulation. You may even get a little plaque in the book saying you donated it.


I’ve heard several people tell me they taught themselves through YouTube tutorials. I’m such a scaredy cat. Honestly I’m probably most afraid to enter a yarn store without someone to hold me back from impulse buys.


Can you convince her to bring some crochet stuff and do a short tutorial with me? Or we can find a yarn store there 🤔


Oh yay! I’ll flit between conversations geeking out about Nostr and normie convos.


In 1889 a Victorian magazine asked unmarried women why they were still single. This is my favorite response. https://image.nostr.build/b685fdb1eaadc958410584829122ef845f1a43d9874850ec70f750a6043ca9f8.jpg

I will warn you that after reading it you might become that person having conversations about potatoes after someone asks what you’re thinking about.


I recommend this book https://image.nostr.build/8439d965c51e759882b9a2b242956e22d49cecd414daf6cdcdc56a2ba27e31e6.jpg


I feel like I need pancakes and bacon for lunch now. Thankfully I have both.


Did you know the russet potato used to be known as the Burbank potato? Yep Burbank, CA was named after the same man Luther Burbank. That potato varietal is resistant to the blight that caused the Irish potato famine.


Oh shit do you want some potato facts?

Potatoes were brought over from Peru to Europe. Peasants didn’t want to eat potatoes because they’re a nightshade and other nightshades are poisonous. So peasants were forced to eat potatoes at sword point. Lords basically forced their adoption on the poor because potatoes were more nutrient dense yet worth less than other crops.

Some excellent points were already covered by others but I still think this is informative and concise. On the irish potato famine…

Congratulations! Very nice. I hope it inspires you to keep drawing.


I’m assuming he dumped the rest of the batter. 🤷🏼♀ Also I thought everyone consistently screwed up the first pancake. Didn’t have the heat of the pan just right etc.

I have multiple nurses in my family. Dinner is delightful. 😬


On a side note, I highly recommend never asking a nurse how was her workday. You’ll be scarred. Then most likely inappropriately share the story later.


Immediately remembered a nurse who had a repeat patient who’s boyfriend was using her stoma for his pleasure, causing her injury and infection but they wouldn’t stop. People are wild.


He was bored camping and tried to use the hole for amusement but got stuck.


That’s what I’m asking y’all!


I joked I lived in the fog layer because my favorite color was grey.


I mean I saw True Stories from the ER where a guy got his willy stuck in the hole in a camp stove. So the bar I was imagining for some guys is in hell.


I invited him to join Nostr but his head seemed really close to exploding. 🤯 When I added that Nostr could use its first giant (he’s 6’10) I think I went too far.


I tried explaining it to a comedian. He was like a frog and a planet held a fundraiser to go to Tokyo!?


Awww now we know why he has a big empty closet!


I’d like to know the types of interactions your hypothesizing being confronted with a naked woman. 🤔


I just realized the fog in San Francisco being named Karl dates back to a Twitter account circa 2010.

I need a shirt SF resident before the fog was named Karl.


I’ve seen the bikini picture you posted. Best looking play-doh I’ve ever seen!


Seattle is the Emerald City. I’m assuming because the Pacific Northwest is very green.

San Francisco is the city by the bay. It can be windy. The fog that rolls in has a name, Karl.

Karl the Fog: San Francisco's Most Mysterious Resident (Humor Book, California Pop Culture Book) https://a.co/d/5A63DnJ


I’m glad I’m not the only one to have that thought!


SF is just The City by the Bay


Chicago is the Windy City!


How low is the bar for most men to find a naked woman attractive?


Any naked woman? Or does it need to be a naked woman they find attractive?


Seattle is the Emerald City!


Yep it can be pretty windy in SF, especially on the bridge. It was called the Golden Gate before the bridge was built. The hills are golden and the entrance to San Francisco Bay.


So we agree, no Daylight Savings Time (DST)


Polyamory seemed popular.

I’ve been to NYC but never to the top of the Empire State Building.

Also I will weirdly and adamantly refuse to cross the GG Bridge, except by car or if they closed the whole thing and I could walk down the middle. The railings just do not seem high enough for a gust of wind to not knock me off. It is pretty and I know some secret photo taking spots.


I like my noon, high.

What’s wrong with standard time!?!


All good mums are a bit embarrassing.


Go to a party in SF. People just randomly discuss their kinks. I always felt like the rarest of the bunch; monogamous.


I feel like by the time it’s appropriate to tell the story your kids will already have been victimized by your dirty autocorrect.


Let’s avoid kink shaming. It’s not for you, cool. Besides how often are you having to smell fur suits?


I don’t know if they personally identify as furries. More likely they’re just performers wearing the costume they’ve been asked to wear. I wore cat ears on Halloween. I’m not a furry. I don’t find dressing up as an animal exciting in that way.


I think flurries was supposed to be furries


Nope it was just everyone! 🤣😂🤣😂

I know what romantic chemistry looks like. It’s just the finding it that trips me up. Also please see note about the more I like someone the more I act like an idiot or Mr. Bean in person. I can’t be chill with a crush until we’ve mutually established like.


Saw a video of the remnants of a makeshift cardboard bed on the sidewalk that had rose petals and chocolate wrappers left behind. There’s a homeless couple out there one with more #rizz than most of us and the other getting romanced more than most of us.

FYI don’t put red rose petals on sheets they will stain terribly.

I thought Morocco and Australia were contenders.


I once gave a guy what I thought was a subtle smile. Got home, tried it in the mirror and it gave stay away vibes. Subtle smile does not feel subtle to me.

It wasn’t really cockney. He lived somewhere else at one point, either for 5 years or until the age of 5, maybe Austria. He didn’t look like a typically British dude either. He was 6’5 with dark slightly curly hair, really broad shouldered. He was very sweet. Last time I saw him was at a Sonic Youth show at the Fillmore.


He was from London, I think.


The first guy I dated in SF was a Brit. He was saying something and I just couldn’t understand him with his accent. Made him write it out. He was saying “pasta and olive oil”.  😳🤣


Which one? A priest I adore used to be at St. Paul’s. She’s back stateside though.


Veteran’s Day here. Isn’t it Remembrance Day in the UK?


How’s that working for you?


Yet so many love the British accent.


Irish guys have the most ridiculous pickup lines. It’s like they teach them in school.


From experience practice your “subtle” smile at home in the mirror to see what it feels like. What feels like goofy grin to me gives subtle smile.

Can I just mention that when I took #Astronomy in San Francisco the professor spent a good bit of the first class explaining that this was Astronomy and not #Astrology. Multiple people exited. He then promised us someone would ask around midterms when we would talk about something astrology related. It happened after the midterm. I no longer remember the question but someone spent half a semester in an Astronomy class waiting for their Astrology questions to be answered. Bless.


Wait tag me in the thread with incredible pickup lines


So this Saturday or next Saturday? Should I be asking peeps at Nostrville if they’re Scorpios?


Star signs are constellations. They’re assigning personality traits and events to astronomical phenomena and trying to predict the future based on past occurrences. Based on the idea the planet circles 360 degrees around the sun and there are 12 star signs. So each star sign has 30 degrees. From my recent understanding Vedic astrology calculates it from exactly the time and place you were born. While the other astrology system uses calculations from a specific time and from the equatorial position of the constellations. From the time the western astrology was codified the cycle through the constellations or star signs is off by as much as 24 degrees. Hence why you can be a different sign in Vedic astrology vs western astrology.

I hope that explains things. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong. I’m very confused by astrology.

Also I looked it up and the two astrology systems use different calculation methods which result in a 24 degree difference. Each house or sign is 30 degrees so can make a considerable variance.


Just casually making me teary eyed 🥲

Also maybe you’ll be like me and find out according to Vedic astrology you’re actually a different sign. Apparently I’m a Virgo not a Libra in Vedic astrology. 🤷🏼♀ I find it all so confusing.

Below are the questions I suggested for the Journalism in the Time of Nostr panel at Nostrasia Day 3. Didn’t think any would get asked or in one chunk.

What are they most excited to see with journalism and Nostr?

Based on how traditional journalism has handled adapting to new technologies, how do the panelists see Nostr being utilized or not?

With the rise of platforms to reach an audience and people deeming themselves an independent journalist, what makes a journalist a journalist?

Follow up question; How does someone never having worked in traditional journalism and experienced fact-checking and editorial pushback affect the field of journalism?

Is #nostrasia running late this morning? What’s the deal?


What?! I need to know what triggered this thought.


On Nov 14 the Human Rights Foundation will launch its CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington, DC

The Tracker will go online for the first time, providing the public with a resource to examine the progress and risks of CBDC implementation worldwide

Like paper dollars or euros, CBDCs are liabilities of central banks

Unlike paper dollars or euros, CBDCs do not offer the privacy protections, neutrality, or finality of cash

Virtually all money today is already digital, but it is typically issued and controlled by private banks and fintech companies, even in dictatorships like China

When consumers use a credit card, spending is at the discretion of the corporation that issued the card

When consumers deposit money into their bank accounts, their funds are liabilities of the bank

CBDCs are an effort to:

1) Replace paper cash with government-issued, government controlled digital credits

2) Reduce the power of private banks

3) Expand state control over the economy

Paper cash doesn’t require identification, can be used by anyone with no discrimination, and cannot be easily tracked

As such, cash is a daily tool of human rights activists, dissidents, and civil society, especially under authoritarian regimes

CBDCs stand to potentially phase out this tool for human rights defenders, making them entirely reliant on currency that is surveilled and easily frozen and censored

Unlike cash, CBDCs can require ID, have expiration dates, be remotely
frozen, and abide by blacklists

HRF believes CBDCs pose a significant threat to human rights work worldwide, especially for people living under tyranny

More than 100 countries are researching CBDCs, while more than 20 have pilots, and a handful of governments have already launched some kind of retail product

Russia, India, the EU, the US, Brazil, and other major governments
have all signaled intent to pursue CBDC projects

HRF considers it important to track these activities and document what risk they pose to human rights

We are pleased to be working with the Bitcoin Policy Institute to launch the CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington at 10:00am ET on November 14th

We are excited to share the work of the project authors: Nick Anthony, Janine Roem, and Matthew Mezinskis

If you would like to learn more about the project or RSVP to the launch event, please contact nostr:npub1cf3zeytdnwgwzz5pk2ax0vvmmlzad03xcft4d50ejrfhsh8pxcdsefx7gk

We look forward to sharing the resource with all of you on Nov 14

🤣😂🤣I feel like that made me laugh way harder than it should have. 🍻


You didn’t 😱


That was pure luck or angels working overtime


If a business or product makes cancellation too much of an aggravation. What might have been a cancellation because the product wasn’t right for me at this moment becomes; I will never use this product, service, or company ever again. If you piss me off enough I will make sure I never use a product, service, or company that has the same management and/or owners in common.


I get the business perspective of remove barriers to onboarding, try to deter off boarding. Companies are going too far these days in trying to obfuscate or downright obstruct account cancellation.


I won’t be buying Bitcoin ETFs


When they were denying me closing my account over 22 sats. Someone suggested I break the TOS and send them to Hamas or something. I was like no need to get the feds involved.


He’s the CEO of Coinbase. The buck stops somewhere.


I think the aneurysm in my brain has probably enlarged this afternoon.


I finally got my account deleted. Took all afternoon. This also wasn’t the first day I tried to accomplish this. #FuckCoinbase and no thank you very much. Tell Brian Armstrong and #Coinbase I hate your product and …

https://media.giphy.com/media/44Eq3Ab5LPYn6/giphy.gif


I hate KYC exchanges. 🤬


I want to delete my information from Coinbase. That’s my main priority at this point.


Transferred my entire coinbase balance to someone with a coinbase account but it subtracted 22 sats to leave in my account again not allowing me to close my 🤬 account. Customer support keeps repeatedly responding with How can we help you make a crypto trade?


Well you just got some #btc but it left me with a $0.01 balance even though there is 0 BTC left. Those fucks.


It won’t even let me transfer to USD either.


Well if anyone has a Coinbase account and wants a transfer. Let me know. I just want to close the 🤬 account.


That makes me feel a little better


I dropped a very sharp chef’s knife once in my kitchen and it landed point in the wood floor between my toes. Took me a moment to recover from the shock.


Saying good morning in the land of the rising sun before the sun has risen 🤔


I’d do it! Fair warning I’ll probably drop my fork or something.


Very pretty cake! I hope you enjoyed. Happy Birthday!


This is after several months ago I tried to send the small amount from Coinbase to an L2 wallet. Didn’t know that coinbase couldn’t send transactions to lightening wallets. Never had a warning or anything pop up that the wallet address was incompatible. I set it to send max amount. It left the equivalent of $0.01 USD in my wallet. Then the transactions looked like it never happened. A couple of months later poof suddenly that amount is back in my Coinbase wallet. I just want to close the fucking account! 🤬


Coinbase isn’t letting me send or sell because the balance is too small. The balance is about the same as the price of a latte. I have zero willingness to use them to buy more BTC to then sell or send the BTC. I have zero trust that if I send them BTC from another wallet that I’ll be able to get that off the exchange either.


This is not a great time to suggest other exchanges to me right now. See if I’m receptive tomorrow.


I am pissed at #coinbase because I have a small amount in an account. I solely had an account to explore how Coinbase worked. It’s terrible. I want to close my account and never use it again. I can’t close my account with any funds left in the account. I can’t transfer nor withdraw my BTC because it’s not a large enough amount. The last thing I want to do is put more funds on Coinbase. 🤬. #FuckCoinbase


So glad to see a post from you! 🫂💜 I’m sorry you’ve been having a rough go health wise.


Never use them. That’s what you should know.


If it wasn’t for this emoji 🤬 some very colorful language and turn of phrases would have been posted.

“What do we do about free speech when it is so widely abused? We should still do, with renewed vigor, what we have always needed to do: to answer bad speech with better speech, to counter false narratives with better narratives, to answer hate with love, and to believe that the truth can still succeed even in an age of lies. We must defend it fiercely and define it as broadly as possible, so, yes, we should of course defend speech that offends us; otherwise we are not defending free expression at all. Let a thousand and one voices speak in a thousand and one different ways.” ~Salman Rushdie

Hey what’s the link for the live feed of #nostrasia?


🤣 Good one! Happy Halloween!


Attending a Venetian Masquerade Ball is on my bucket list. Now if only one was held in Versailles. I do enjoy an over the top party. *as a guest


I didn’t get my act together this year. It’s so bloody cold too. I could pull out an old share bear care bear onesie. I’ll need to stuff pillows inside to get the tummy right. Otherwise I might just forego a costume altogether. Being the spookiest thing of all to children, a boring adult.


I’d go for both!


Ouch. I’m glad looking back it was a nice break to think about what you really wanted to do.


I have a simple and lazy Halloween costume in a ziploc bag. It’s the devil horns and a yellow felt circle. Wear a white shirt, affix the yellow circle to your tummy, wear the horns and you’re a deviled egg!


Amongst the bitcoiners I know a budget bonfire where everyone throws down for a keg might be better.


Fellow Plebs,

Do we have any Bitcoin-themed balls? If not, what do you think about organizing a masquerade-style ball? This way, those who prefer anonymity can maintain it. Perhaps we could plan something like this for the 20th anniversary of Bitcoin's white paper release?

We could even celebrate the 20th anniversary with a Roaring Twenties masquerade, inspired by 'The Great Gatsby'?

If it’s something people want sooner we could do a theme for each year (I love themed parties).

16 yr = 1600s theme (dress code)
17 yr = 1700s theme (dress code)
18 yr = 1800s theme (dress code)
19 yr = 1900s theme (dress code)
20 yr = Roaring 20s theme (dress code)

And if you guys really want to spice it up, “go big or go home”, we could make it the like Davos, but for Bitcoin or give it a YPO retreat vibe.

October 31st - Masquerade ball
November 1st -4th Davos / YPO style meetings & talks
November 5th - Bonfire night

She had a work event. Could be both. 🤣


How was the work do?


The creators of the Internet made the protocols open on purpose. Vint Cerf, co-author of the TCP/IP protocols, said this about their development:

"The theory we had is that if we just specify what the protocols would look like and what software you needed to write, anybody who wanted to build a piece of internet would do that and find somebody who would be willing to connect to them. Then the system would grow organically because it didn't have any central control. And that's exactly what happened."

*From Kahn Academy’s course Computers and the Internet


Value-for-value publishing a creator receives value on Nostr, in the form of zaps currently, directly from the person who enjoyed the content.

Hopefully we can fully escape from the ad model. In the long run it should hopefully incentivize the creation of content you want to see.


An open protocol is one that is not owned by any particular company or limited to that company’s products.


A protocol is a set of rules for devices to communicate with each other. We use multiple protocols everyday barely noticing, like http for webpages or smtp for email.

Is that a helpful explanation?

Anyone feel free to correct me if it’s not correct.

Hey I own both those t-shirts too! Have fun today!


🤣😂🤣 Deep breath, you’ll find your way eventually. Anyone to ask for directions?


An ex and I both had photos of our childhood dogs dressed in our clothes. Mine in ballet outfit and his looking like an 80’s skater. We kept the photos on our fridge. They looked happy though.

I put a St. Patrick’s Day themed bowler hat on her once and I don’t think she ever forgave me. So to dream of her dressed up was funny and out of character.

Try a cold shower too. Personal experience, try not to fall over when taking a cold shower to sober up. If you do fall, fall towards the tile not the glass door.


Rest well!

They might have wanted to be zip tied. 😉🤫🤷🏼♀


Eh we just did gym in our regular clothes and stunk the rest of the day. 🤣


Don’t transpose or borrow trauma where there is none.


I thought that was Australia


I’m leaning towards the penguins in the Galapagos. LFG!


If my kid told me this I would probably freak out ngl


Sounding so weird out of context.


Oh you were the demonstration dummy


Like the Chinese finger cuff?


Also I had coaches who rubbed down muscles. It was completely normal and not sexualized at all. But I could see where it might sound weird.


It would be super sus if your top was off!


Wait… what?


It’s difficult to give a good shoulder massage with a layer of fabric in between. I did have at least one teacher who would put their hands on your shoulders, maybe slightly rub them while looking at your work. I see people who sexualize contact or situations that were completely innocent and natural. My thing is was the touch wanted and was it comfortable? If it wasn’t were your boundaries respected immediately.


Hmmm 🤔 the fact you were uncomfortable is the most important thing to me. I will say I went to an all girls school. I feel like we were more touchy feely with each other. It was completely asexual though.


Hmmm 🤔 So not like a proper massage then?


I avoided that when she mentioned it. I didn’t want her to realize some childhood trauma in a thread.


That looks like my cat, who has been to Vegas no less!


Some moments are memorable to one but not both. Memory is a funny and fickle beast. Who knows he could be like nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4 and remember almost nothing.


I said my bra was on!


The shirt was a black baby doll tee from when I worked at Extreme Pizza. (Literally rolled up from work to a party and didn’t bother to change.) Tried to see if they had any in their merch store but no such luck.


Good luck packing and travel safe!


I had a bra on!


It’s also been almost 20 years.


I was wearing an “I ❤ Pizza” shirt, then took it off. I don’t know if it was for the massage or because it was like a beacon to every drunk/stoned dude at the party.


Where’s a place you want to go? Also I don’t think I’d want to go to Mos Eisley either.


This is what I’m seeing. https://image.nostr.build/43155ae12364d4f3c4918d09fe0df941ba2c77905dac5c976cce12d87b6bab13.jpg


I appreciate Cirque du Soleil as well as observing the outlandish. Not everything has to be so serious. The ridiculous can be enjoyed.

Can’t disagree maybe it shouldn’t have been built in a desert lacking adequate water and then let’s add tons of pools and fountains.


Oh the people watching and shows in Vegas were amazing!

I never wanted to go until last year. Glad I didn’t make it this year.


But why are they hidden from me?! I want to find sexy search bot.


Also that’s more like wings in the above picture


I have capes too!


Can you post their npub? I can’t see who reposted that post. 🤷🏼♀


People would get roasted, toasted, and twirled on a spit. Not necessarily in that order. 🤣


I’m gonna assume people were going to rooms to have sex. It wasn’t like a wild orgy.


I’m a lightweight. I can’t pregame anything. I’ve also been known to ask bartenders to fake making an alcoholic beverage or go light on the alcohol. I’ve seen plenty of people stupid drunk at work events. Even seen a guy out of his mind on molly at the Christmas party.


They’re already intergalactic


You just know. It’s a vibe. Also burners bring up Burning Man and/or invite you almost as often as vegans or vegetarians let you know they’re one.


What’s the sexy search bot? Have they reposted me? 😱


I love your optimism. Personally it would not surprise me in the slightest if he doesn’t even remember ever meeting me.


I’m gonna need you to elaborate on those two house parties?


I think you’re right


🤩 So cool! nostr:note1n2frssrupuycvrrcecquhnmauz4y4cklfrgszd3r2lpwqpn9xmjqn5gzgt


Sometimes I wonder if the Brits ever touch each other? I think they have to be plastered to muster up the courage for physical contact. I’d almost want to suggest trading shoulder massages at a works do just for the absolutely horrified reactions. Also feel like an HR person would pop up immediately, almost like Clippy, to explain why that is inappropriate.


Most recently got a massage from a women who used to teach at a massage therapy school for 30+ years. It was more medical but necessary. She was awesome.


Yep a burner is someone who goes to Burning Man. I don’t think I ever went to a party in SF without a contingent of Burners.


I’d also probably tell him I’m sorry we met at a party hosted by the guy I was dating at the time. I crush monogamously. Even though he was awesome. My attention was already elsewhere so it was a losing game for him. Almost 20 years later and I’m like what an idiot. The guy I was seeing was acting like a self assured dick and this absolutely sweet heart of guy was right there.

Memory is funny though. More likely this guy doesn’t even remember that night.


I’d apologize for being bitchy. Tell him I’d learned he was right. Tight muscles do need to gently be massaged to relax so they don’t spasm. Possibly try to see if I could convince him to give me another shoulder massage. 🤣


Fair enough. You can always message me if you want to chat. I understand if you’d rather keep it private.


Yep that’s the normal response. I was feisty. He was right. I was wrong. So it’s almost 20 years later and I’m still thinking about it.


I have a picture somewhere. It turned into a massage train. Like about a dozen people all giving the person in front of them a shoulder massage. I’ve seen it happen at other parties in San Francisco. Gotten massages at parties in LA too. I dunno maybe it’s me. Or going to parties with Burners? I dunno. Any other Bay Area peeps wanna chime in? Never seen it happen at a party in the South and I saw some weird shit at parties as a teenager.


Awww you’re so lovely. 🫂🫂🫂 What do you get anxious about?


A guy was giving me a shoulder massage at a party. We argued over how much pressure to use. I wanted bone cracking pressure and he was trying to tell me that would make it worse. He then told me he’d gone to massage therapy school. I looked back at him and said “you should go back”. It was bitchy and he was right.


Or you live in the moment?


I was thinking of something I said at a party almost 20 years ago, recently. I wasn’t even inebriated.


🤣 Saved by a poor memory


Oh that would be fun game… what’s something you’ve said under the influence you regret? Confession time.


Good thing it’s a work party! Best to  like your coworkers a bit more than you actually do. 😉😂


Terrible advice for a woman. Probably anyone going out for work drinks. Never be the drunkest one there. Sip drinks slowly. Drink water.


You get her, you really get her. 🥹


So much to learn before an expedition to either pole. Is Mr. E teaching classes? I learned so much about dinosaurs from my nephew. Well, before he thought dinosaurs were for babies.

Went to a benefit tonight that included a talent show. What was billed as a magic act was a woman almost wordlessly demonstrating how to fold a fitted sheet. The adults were laughing and the kids were confused. Told my nephew I’m gonna make him try to fold a fitted sheet, then he’ll understand.

https://tidal.com/track/162638204


The 27 club is the one club most don’t want to join. It’s dying at 27. So please don’t join.

“The “27 Club” refers to celebrities, mostly musicians, who died at the age of 27. This coincidence adds a layer of intrigue and infamy to already tragic events. Members of the club include: Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and more.”

https://www.dclibrary.org/news/27-club-deeper-dive-tragic-phenomenon#:~:text=The%20“27%20Club”%20refers%20to,%2C%20Jimi%20Hendrix%2C%20and%20more.


Hey that’s double the 27 club! Seriously though it’s young for many, but also more years than many will ever get.

You’re time here is not guaranteed. Don’t wait.

I trust people who see conspiracy in everything about as much as I trust people who always write off the possibility of conspiracies.

I typically differentiate one’s views of human nature at large vs one’s views of themselves. Fair to point out that they are really one and the same.


So glad this was the meme on my phone when my nephew sprinted across the room saying, “Let me see!”


Maybe… maybe not. Could be a lot of #nostrasia posts coming up.


I think it’s not just romantic views of human nature. Many I’ve noticed seem excessively confident in their ability to rely entirely on themselves for subsistence and/or underestimate how bleak that can be.

I have a wide variety from my physical therapist. My back still needs a lot of strengthening. I know the exercises. I’m just not good at keeping myself in check. I normally go too hard. Cause myself pain. Trying to channel 🐢 mode.


I need to be better about doing my exercises too.

I’ve been hearing about this movie and being asked questions about this movie for months by my younger nephew. He’s a tough audience. Haven’t heard his review yet.


My older nephew’s review is “Bad but fun. The animatronics were the best part.”


“I wrote on X, the site formerly and still known as Twitter.”

Found in a totally unrelated article. I personally prefer calling it The Company Formerly Known as Twitter. Reminds me of Prince and the copyright issue. Makes me giggle a bit when I say it. Find it interesting how other people deal with it.


Nyad is available November 3rd. I think on Netflix.

The Lady Bird Dairies on Hulu is a good documentary.

If you’re open to series, I’m appreciating World on Fire (drama) and The 100 Foot Wave (docuseries)

There will be a lunar eclipse this weekend. We’ll miss it in North America. If you happen to be in Japan for #nostrasia you’ll get a decent partial lunar eclipse. Though it will peak in the early hours of the 29th.

You’re a sweetheart 🫂💜 Thank you.


Have fun!


I feel like I made the decision when I was 22. I wanted the shot at love, someone to build a live with and be my partner. I love kids. I’m very maternal. I’d love to be a mom. I just don’t want to be a mom without having a partner who’s fully on board to parent too. If I have kids I want to give them an amazing father.

So no I’m not scrambling. I have had a moment or two of checking in with myself about my stance. It hasn’t changed. I know the years are dwindling and if I met someone, having kids would need to be on a more expedited timeline than I would’ve preferred. I’m also trying to find peace with the idea of my life not turning out like I envisioned it.


You’ll still be working it out for the rest of your life. You’re just constantly evolving.


Nope. Ever seen a bar at last call and people scrambling to find someone to go home with and you already know they’re gonna regret it in the morning?


You don’t come across as a delusional optimist.


I will say I’m at an age where some people who really want kids are grabbing partners like it’s last call and the lights are about to be flicked on in the bar.


Many people when thinking about their standards don’t consider what they’re bringing to the table. You have to be realistic. Give people and yourself the grace to not be perfect. Some people would benefit from raising their standards and some from lowering them due to a distorted self image.


The difficulty level of dating increased exponentially when I started asking myself the question, “Would I be ok if a child of mine treated their date/ partner like this?” or “Behaved like this?” I wonder if I’m still single once that ship has sailed if I’ll be ok lowering my standards. 😂


So ask people about the specific area of their life you’d like to emulate. They may not entirely know how they did what they did. Observing them tends to be more helpful.


The only thing I can say I’ve done right is I haven’t had a child with the wrong person. Watching situations from the sidelines that looks like hell. My tip is always use two forms of birth control. Try not to sleep with people you wouldn’t be ok having a kid with.


I don’t think I’m a shining example. Ask someone who’s life resembles what you want for their experience. They’ll have better tips.


I don’t know what horse meat looks like! I’ve only cared for living horses.

The pictures had me a little lost. It was like flesh, flesh, different kind of flesh.


Well start working on making that happen. It feels like 10 years was practically a blink ago.


Have you thought about what age ideally you’d have kids and how many?


Btw I had thoughts of babies younger than you are now.


Eh better to know what you want sooner when it comes to babies. It doesn’t have to happen right away. If you know what you want it gives you the time to find the right partner and make your life more conducive to bringing a baby into your life.


Was horse served though? What other meats and fish did you have?


Btw lunar eclipse coming. It will be visible in Japan. Check when it peaks in Tokyo!

I won’t completely throw Mr. Darcy under the carriage wheels though. It really could have been a terrible misjudgment in his character by Elizabeth Bennett. Though I’ve thought of Pride & Prejudice as Jane Austen poking a bit of fun at women who think they can change a man. I do wonder how married life fared for The Darcy’s vs. The Bingley’s in Austen’s imagination. I think it’s safe to say The Wickham’s were an unfortunate match.


Just me or does that look like Puss ‘n Boots as a kitten?


This is amazing! 😍🤩😍

Mr. Bingley or Mr. Darcy?


Stereotypical banker, can’t see it. I’ve met some interesting characters in fintech or who work for banks but aren’t bankers. I’m fascinated by financial crimes investigations. Some fintech guys I’m about 💯 sure will be in prison for white collar crimes eventually.

Aha! We should all send Eshara plush penguins or everything penguin. Then she can have her very own “penguin zoo” in London.

I don’t know if subscribing to the cheap old houses newsletter was the best idea. One day I’m deciding to move to a neglected villa in a small Italian village, the next upstate New York.

I’m so relieved my friend isn’t dead. I totally understand that my other friend in his grief didn’t realize the miscommunication.


Just a PSA: If you ever have need to send out a group message that someone has died, please include their full name. If people begin responding to the thread with pictures of someone else, please correct the mistake asap.

I spent about 12 hours thinking a friend died and waiting for his family to release a statement. It wasn’t him. I don’t even actually know the person who did die. The very much alive friend will probably find someway to add this to his comedy routine.


I’d do it!

A little too plasticky of a sound. I tried to find a YouTube short with a similar sound to the one I used for skeet shooting. I’ve come to the conclusion it probably was a pretty old gun. Maybe around 1950’s? Wood and metal double barreled beauty.


I think you might be obsessed enough.


Thank you for your translation work!


Not currently. I’d definitely have better luck there now because I’ve been monogamous and just wanted a relationship the whole time. That works better in SF in your 30’s. Honestly not being polyamorous was my biggest challenge when dating in SF. More people start being wiling to settle down in their 30’s and want to start a family.


Gorgeous! 😍


I just feel sorry for some kids who won’t know to read the fine print or have ever been taught about compounding interest.


I was trying to abbreviate what people did while awake. I realize now I made it sound like they were having sex. The article went into examples of activities across classes and sleeping arrangements.


I read once that style of biphasic sleeping used to be really common before electricity. People would go to sleep pretty much with the sun, wake for a few hours in the middle of the night. Husbands and wives would have time with each other before falling back asleep and then waking with the sun.


Good luck!


That would be lovely.


I’ve noticed some of the designer brands using worse quality synthetic fabrics.


🫂💜 I do that. Maybe try getting up, having a calming herbal tea and journaling for a bit before trying to go back to bed? It’s good advice that I rarely take. 🤣


Maybe one day I will tell the whole story. I will say it was Hinge I was using. Most of my likes were from under 23’s and plus 55 year olds. Not the demographic I’m looking to date. At least 3 likes from guys listed as being in their 40’s but that looked twice the age of my Dad. My current location might be part of the problem. Had better luck in Los Angeles. Seriously messaged a guy I dated earlier this year just to thank him for being normal.

I’m very picky and life has made me very frugal. I typically need tall sizes. They are almost impossible to find in stores, but I hate ordering. I have to order so much but maybe 10% of what I try on works. Then the rest has to be shipped back. I really don’t like to wear non natural fibers. I prefer silks, cottons, etc. So it feels like an investigation when deciding to order something. I prefer to buy things that I think will work out to a $1 or under per wear. Designer clothes tend to work better I think because of models, but then they’re high priced. It makes me just want to give up and just walk around in a large cotton beach towel or sheet!


I would’ve been like fuck him, cops being called. Granted I was rear-ended by a brand new Mercedes years ago. It was a shit-show of a situation. Had to get a lawyer. My lawyer asked what resolution I was hoping for and I said the car and a baseball bat.

I hope you feel ok and aren’t injured at all!

I need pictures. So many pictures. Honestly I wish I could get popcorn and watch y’all get ready. 😂


I hope it’s this one! 🤣 Try to get through doorways then.

Maybe suggestions on good first dates would have been better. How someone plans a date helps you get to know them. Pretty much the point of dating.


I feel like you just tempted the universe by saying what is some ankle bullshit to an athletic person. You’d be amazed by what can go wrong with the ankles. While being athletic and in good shape is helpful for life in general. Training regularly is good for the body and mind. Things can happen medically that have no respect for the shape you started in.


I’ve had people confuse a twisted ankle with an ankle sprain. Sprain is so much worse.

My experience leads me to believe that when you give gladly and with a loving heart you somehow receive more in return.


I’m not good at asking for help, but I am presently faced with a medical expense that I do not know how to pay at this point. I have been in constant pain for almost 20 years with bad teeth, and they have begun causing secondary health problems. Because of the structure of my teeth and bones, it will be a surgery to have them removed, and I’m liable to end up with holes where they were leading into my sinuses, etc. It’s doable, but it’s work for the surgeon, and they charge for that sort of thing.

The surgery looks like it will cost about $13,000, not counting the cost of dentures. Someone suggested I create a donation page on Nodeless, so here it is. There are countless people in worse situations, so I don’t really want to ask for anything. But if you feel like chipping a few sats to help out with this, every little bit helps.

https://nodeless.io/donate/oral-surgery


Yep! Let me know.


I don’t know where you’re located. But when a family member needed extensive dental work including implants placed, they went to Mexico to save costs. If you need help locating a reliable dentist/ oral surgeon there. I have contacts to help. I understand travel may not be possible for you.


You have to negotiate a mutual state of peace to have happiness. No one person can be asked to give too much of themselves. You also have to be willing to give a little.


Still morning for me! ☕


Good night. Rest well.


Well I wish you absolute best wishes on getting the surgery you need and budgeting for it. Never quite understood why dental and eye coverage are left of other health coverage.


Looks delicious


I don’t know the procedure you need but my recent medical bills say 13k is super cheap for surgery.

Just realized what post you responded to and it wasn’t the white bread dressing guy post. 🤦🏼♀


I didn’t meet white bread dressing guy last night. But he might have been at the restaurant while I was on a date with someone else and walked passed me. I’m not 💯 since I never met him in person.


Dude at one point in the conversation last night I sympathized with all the bitcoin bros trying to date.

Honestly the oyster one makes a little more sense to me than white bread. Isn’t there also like a chestnut or hazelnut dressing?


Apparently the guy was really attached to his white bread dressing and unmatched me. The idea of two dressings at Thanksgiving was too much I guess. 🤣


I see zero problems with this. I wear the same shoes almost everyday because looking down at the fun pattern makes me happy.

It would gross me out more if I found out he ate fondant on its own. I will say most American bakeries use too much icing.


Find, follow, and/or engage with people you disagree with. Read news sources you think are biased in opposing ways. Talking to people in real life is the best. You’ll find more commonalities than differences in my experience. Seek to understand different viewpoints. Always question your own.


It’s old crusty bread. Not baked or possibly double baked like croutons. If done right it absorbs a hint of dressing softening bits but leaving some crunch and the ratio of other vegetables like tomatoes etc. is very important to how it works.


I use cornbread, onions, celery, etc.


It does exist! And it can be delicious. It’s not for Thanksgiving though.


I hope white bread, celery, and onion are not a salad.


Those are like my two favorite things. 🥺


I asked what type of dressing he made and he responded “white bread, celery, and onions”. I really hope there are some herbs, a little bit spice, and some chicken stock at least. 🤷🏼♀


I’m glad I’m not alone.


I heard about these tree pod green funerals and told my family that I wanted to be buried in one but make it an Arkansas Black Apple tree so people will eat me. Didn’t think about how dirty it sounded until it was out of my mouth.

Pretty much.

😭 I wanted to rescue a live chicken off a bus once that someone was taking home for dinner but remembered I had chicken breasts defrosting at home. 😳


Oh now you’re bringing cornbread with sugar or without in the chat?! Damn man! Make it heated.


Also I loved that y’all worked it out over the years. I prefer to keep most things traditional for Turkey day and don’t try more than 2 new recipes. They’re basically always the salad/vegetable or a dessert because the Turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole all traditional.


Noodles? You’re gonna have to send me a picture on Thanksgiving. I’ve never heard of noodles as part of a Thanksgiving meal. I’m curious.


It’s just weird how someone can mention white bread dressing and suddenly you’re like I see you slightly differently. I judge myself for judging. Though if anyone wants to back me up on cornbread dressing being superior?


Is that a snake eating some sort of frog or lizard?


What? Are you ok?


Dating makes you realize really stupid things about yourself. I’ve realized it’s a non-negotiable for me to have cornbread stuffing at Thanksgiving. If someone was similarly attached we could make that too.

I guess I anticipated different stuffing/dressing recipes in San Francisco where a lot of people move to from different areas of the country. I just thought the South was firmly cornbread stuffing/dressing.


Now I’ve made myself want sushi


I remembered that. I was just wondering why my name was being brought up in connection to nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 penis? He seems like the only one to consult in those matters.


I’ve heard about that story. Smart restaurant owner.

My experience the sushi restaurant was on Church St. near Market St. in San Francisco near where Aardvark Books and what was that American restaurant that was right there. 🤔 Blanking on the name. No clue what that sushi restaurant was called. It wasn’t the one with boats. Or the really bad one a block down and across the street. It was the sushi restaurant closest to Market St. like across from Sparky’s Diner. San Francisco circa 2009-2010. Totally impromptu meeting. One of those dinners where one friend invites someone and on and on until it’s a weird smorgasbord of people gathered together. Basically a 6 degrees of separation dinner.


Wait… what?


Thanks!

Ooo pretty 🤩


I stayed on Instagram for approximately 2 posts. The first was friends on a babymoon. The second was a former classmate who had a post about “leaning into middle age”. No just no. The sermon from the funeral I attended this afternoon was given by a priest who had been friends with her for 54 of her 66 years of life. He shared stories about their camp days. A camp I also attended in my own time and have many fond memories of shenanigans happening. He talked about the joyride of their youth and how you transition out of that in adulthood. Fuck that. I want the joyride. As someone I know was fond of saying I want to skid sideways into my grave last minute and at full speed. We all have struggles and you seldom have any control over what those will be. You do have control over whether you make your life a joyride. Search for joy. Create joy. Marvel at the very fact of being. Enjoy the fucking ride.

I have images of news stories of war seared in my brain from so early in my life. I remember waking up in the middle of the night sneaking to watch news of Desert Storm. I think it was really one of the first wars with a 24 hour broadcast. I would sit so close to the tv and play it so quietly, to not wake up my mom or sister. I was barely 5. My Dad was there.


I saw multiple posts of photos and videos of Brent’s body on Twitter after he was killed and it was right before I was gonna go to sleep. I did not sleep anytime soon after that. Part of me wishes I didn’t have those images in my memory bank. I had always seen him in the context of an event or party but his mission and life’s work was to show the ugliness of war and the innocent people caught in it. War is very ugly.


Many people hear "It takes a village" and think that means socialism.  But socialism is the state, not the village.


I’ve distorted the writing on a shirt before, so you’d have to make semicircle to read it. Also had guys super confused because they’re only getting the middle part of the t-shirt message 🤨 That was their excuse anyway.

That’s a good idea. I wouldn’t have thought passing a reading comprehension test would be necessary for dating. But here we are.


Apps could focus on different criteria. What do you think are the most important things to focus on?


It’s ok if the quantity of the matches goes down if the quality of the matches is good. I’m only looking for that one. My experience of dating apps is that I get inundated with likes or matches. Get discouraged by the large amount of bad matches. Panic delete the app rather quickly. I don’t think I’ve ever kept a profile active for more than like a week and a half. I never even kissed a guy I met through an app until I met someone I dated for a few months this year. I think I first used an app in 2008.


There were also like 3 profiles of guys saying they were in their 40’s but looked older than my Dad in his late 60’s. The differences in aging are wild.


I probably would’ve asked “What is my age?” I’m 38. The number of under 23’s and over 55’s was insane.


If a man had to answer a question about a woman’s profile I might have had 3 likes tops. It’s a great idea in my opinion.


I disagree.


Man will read most intently if words are on a t-shirt covering boobs.


Finally made it through the 60+ likes on Hinge. It would be cool if it seemed like guys didn’t like every possible woman on a dating app but actually read profiles and matched thoughtfully. Women might actually use apps more.


Sorry. I was looking at the time on the bottom of the flyer. My bad. Thanks for answering!


One of my favorites I heard was on a crowded elevator when a little girl said her baby brother was a souvenir from Disney World.


I found out about #btc pre-pizza day. I think it was still 2009 could’ve been early 2010. It was in San Francisco at a sushi restaurant on Church St. One guy mentioned bitcoin. Then another guy got really excited he knew what it was and I think a 3rd guy might have also known what it was before the dinner. I recall them saying it was the first time any of them had met someone in person who knew about bitcoin. It was a large group of people maybe 20ish people. I happened to sit across from them. I love when people are curious and excited about a topic. So I naturally asked questions and they were like let’s tell her all about it. I remember they were still trying to figure how they could spend it. A guy did offer if I covered the cost of their meal in fiat they would pay me in bitcoin. (If I had been less broke, maybe pizza day would’ve been sushi day.) I can only remember one person for sure who was there. She can’t remember who those guys were any better than I can. It would be interesting to me if I could somehow figure it out. So if this sounds familiar to any early bitcoiners, let me know. If you know any early bitcoiners you want to pass this along to I would appreciate it. 🧡

Randomly saw a 90’s era white bronco recently with a personalized license plate that said NOT OJ


That’s a good explanation. It makes me more understanding to realize our conception of “it takes a village” is just fundamentally different.


Awww she’s beautiful. You were a cute kid.


Yep. They’ve even made miniseries about the trial now.


OJ Simpson was a famous professional American football player. He’s now best known for leading the police on a chase through Los Angeles in a white bronco when they tried to arrest and charge him for the murder of either his ex-wife or soon to be ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Perlman. He was represented in court by Rob Kardashian the father of Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob Kardashian. The line “if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit” became famous. The whole nation was obsessed with the trial. He was acquitted of the charges. Even though a lot of people felt he was guilty. He eventually wrote a book titled “If I Did It”. He did at some point go to prison for something.


Dude given his age I’m not surprised he doesn’t know.


Your Mom sounds amazing!


Thank you! He’s already doing better. Fortunately I missed the projectile vomiting stage. (Well this time 🤣) He just needs to rest and take it easy today.


I wish that were the case. They claim to have children. They just thought a mother should be responsible for a child’s care at all times. I think that’s an impossible ask.


“The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born. That is why many of the earthly miracles have had their genesis in humble surroundings."
