 What hotel should I stay at when I go to Nashville? Something nice. 
 Like how nice? 
 The topic isn’t important here, pay attention to the communication. Helpful hints to be able to dialogue with someone.

 oi nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 how was your flight? 😂 
 More like how’s your flight going @bevo 
 I saw similar ducks and was told they’re an Asiatic species. My dog tried very unsuccessfully to herd them from the other side of a dog park fence. 
 That makes sense! Doesn’t quite look like a mandarin duck but close. 
 🤣😂🤣 Crazy nice stables. 
 I feel like the horses probably have the same slightly judgmental personality of a concierge at a swanky hotel. 
 Happy Halving!!! 🎉🥳🍾 
 Happy Halving Day! 🍻 What are your thoughts on the obsession with the person/people behind Satoshi Nakamoto? Who and/or what do you think has contributed the most to bitcoin? Any parts of bitcoin history that particularly interest you or are you squarely focused on the future? 

P.S. everyone welcome to respond 
 Love finding out how other languages say hippopotamus! Seacow and river horse make a little more sense than hippopotamus but it’s a fun word to say. #hippoappreciationclub nostr:note18pvl7gxyl58dygnavpl3ska5u3w84nhjdr2ggkhdxuyrym42r8kq4l6hal 
 FINE

 This would be hot 🥵 
 Australian Kelpie for the win! I have an Australian Kelpie mix. She’s sleeping on the couch beside me. 🤣 
 Note the more accurate representation of Scottish men in the photos.

 Oooh 100 sats he’s an AI created image. 
 Heard he’s lovely to work with. He’s got some obsessive fans though. A beautiful young woman posted a photo with him from a beach. Some of his fans went off on Twitter about how she wasn’t good enough to be his girlfriend and put her on blast. Turned out it was just a fellow fan who met him for a few minutes and asked for a photo. 😱 Yikes for her. 
 Mark Rowley another lovely Scottish actor. Loved his character in The Last Kingdom. https://image.nostr.build/e0ae4a6dd869837fe6be6a218270ff297e9caaa1ea385d4d43159a17e8ab9e7e.jpg  
 You were distracted 😉 
 I'm reporting nostr:npub14h23jzlyvumks4rvrz6ktk36dxfyru8qdf679k7q8uvxv0gm0vnsyqe2sh for SPAM.

 I find it interesting that so many people reacted so strongly to the idea that users should have more tools to curate their personal experience on Nostr. I feel like some people confuse having the right to free speech with the idea that I should have to listen to or read it. I do highly recommend people step out of their echo chambers and follow people with differing viewpoints. I’ve always wanted the ability to have different presets for my feed that I can turn on and off before scrolling. Like some days I just want to turn off all political posts and just see things I consider fun and funny. 
 I curse like a drunken sailor sometimes. If someone wants a bot to prevent seeing posts where my language gets colorful. Great! I’m not owed an audience. Nor do I really care to interact with people so easily offended. I figure it works out for both parties. 
 Let’s hangout! I’m here too. 
 Oh damn just saw this! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 
 GM my friends! I’m gonna do a tech cleanse today (I just don’t use my phone or watch tv all d... 
 Enjoy! 
 Heard the story of my great grandmother losing hers then it was found with the potatoes. Used to wear the ring many years ago. 
 @jack's vision for NOSTR shouldn’t supersede all. Neither should @fiatjaf's. Protocols should have a way to take on a life of their own. The most amazing possibilities for NOSTR I don’t believe have been imagined yet. Build what you wish to see. If you’re not a dev contribute to devs building what you want to use. Also extend devs grace. Building takes time. They can’t starve or let their families starve in the meantime. If there’s something you envision that isn’t being built, learn to code, or hire a dev. Be a different kind of keyboard warrior. nostr:note1d5adc6qqafgj79qwcsh6fttvu6ce6pvm7ztcxtxurel6fsuv2wtq3zlqwf 
 Feedback is helpful when you build something. I know sometimes I need to work on how and when to provide constructive criticism. I see others who maybe struggle with it even more than I do. 
 💯 
 It’s not just the food but becoming increasingly sedentary. Granted you can’t out exercise a bad diet. 
 GM nostr:npub17x7htjej3hgcqwqj86u9yvpcunhw6nz4zclzph2zfnlwe4v0yp8qrxvgap 
 GM! Rise and grind 
 @Eshara I think it’s us. You have better innocent looking doll eyes though. 
 should I delete every other social media? 
 Personal decision 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
 Where do I find this? 
 Nice. Gonna have to try it. 
 Damn I may just get a food processor 
 I know I definitely am like the Nostr girl 
 I married up. Way up. nostr:note1hw7vpaphm5xpthpykxjkujcyqrxwlc22r70feqacw3q9cgt4rfas5c0l9x 
 Yes, but you’re pretty awesome yourself, Shawn. 
 🤣😂🤣 For context I recently went to the Tower of London and was reading a book titled Scandalous Women that included a chapter on Anne Boleyn who was beheaded and buried there. nostr:note1zuexm5tat8zdrlcq9qvgacjjftytksdl7y88u9mgvtw85kq6ezlq8nq5wg

 Due to technical difficulties we are now on cornychat.

 P.S. @Kieran and @Derek Ross it would be awesome if scheduled nests would appear in UTC or show as the local time of those looking at the nest preview. 
 Why is 1800 utc showing up as 7pm when I’m in the central time zone, should be 1pm? 
 Starting at the next top of the hour 1800 utc. That’s 2pm eastern, 11am pacific for those stateside. nostr:note1ugcdu8fq6f2qaww9hpaqh34x077xuvkwa8k0rf8njp3zz7fl3tyqw5wj78 
 Nostr, before you judge me, hate the hellthread, annoyed by it, mute me, or just ignore it all pl... 
 @damus used to be better about muting all the subsequent notes if you muted the original hell thread post. 

Just noting an issue brought up by the hell thread. 
 Gorgeous! Nice work. Thanks for scheduling. 
 Is it wrong that as soon as I posted this my brain started singing, 🎵 

Let's talk about books, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that we read

Let’s talk about books 🎵 
 Mine too. I gave up looking at them. I can’t even find the beginning of the hellthread. 
 Sounds like a lovely day @marcelinho

 The Lazy Bookclub starting somewhere between 17:00 and 19:00 UTC? 
 Maybe use one of these images too. 

We can talk about what we’re reading and/or have read recently. As well as a book related question, like What is a book you still think about years later? https://image.nostr.build/3fb2534d2f18172908f8c64fd6cc97f62821f4e7a209e61888f07968cb40e34c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/292d60328d4d046315f2e540fa79638360102a9ceb71fb4b495077a99c9312d1.jpg  
 Exciting! I hope you find the perfect suit. 
 Definitely. Open to all. 
 I wrote a business plan for a bookstore cafe combo called The Biblioholic’s Bite. Long winded way of saying not too nerdy for me. 
 Watching your long time friends vibe and bond with your partner is pretty cool.
