 Serious question. How do you stop being angry at the world 24/7/365? I can't keep living like this. It is hurting my soul. 

#asknostr 
 Legally and safely no, but don't let that discourage you from being creative with ideas.  
 I have shitty fiat in cash. I do not have a bank account. I want to get bitcoin.

So now I have to go to a bank to open an account. Get a debit card. Forcefully have to leave money in an account I dont fucking want.

Purchase BTC from an exchange. Pay a fucking fee to the exchange for the privledge of withdrawal of my own fucking money.

I am doing something very wrong here. 

What the fuck can I legally do to remedy this?

 Hagrids shack, or go into forest to see if the centaurs will teach you instead.  
 I never really think about that feature on my tractor. I always mean to take the snow blower attachment off, but I wind up leaving it on all year out of laziness. This year no excuses. Got a lot of downed trees i need to clean up.

 
 Burn it. Burn it with fire.

 Chiropractors man. They make us pay a lot for spine adjustments. When all we need to do is buy more bitcoin. Shady mother fuckers.

 Well if you finally found something you were actually good at and did it as a real profession earlier in life. Why wouldnt you support it now?  
 I made 100% ROI on my bitcoin investment yesterday if you measure it against filthy fiat.

 Take that as a hint. Don't go back.

Why be in an abusive relationship with someone who hates what you have to say?

Stay on #Nostr. You won't be censored here.  
 What are your goals? 
 The issue is that the internet is changing. The old ways of marketing products and services online don't really work well anywhere anymore. 

This is a time where unless you are paying a shit ton for ads pretending to be posts that get in front of enough thousands or millions of people. Just so you can have a 1-10% conversion rate. It isn't going to work well. You will be struggling. 

The best way for people to succeed in this transition time is to shift away from trying to have a large audience. Instead do your best to shift towards having an audience that actually cares about you. Providing real engagement and devotion. The numbers will be smaller, but over time they grow into loyal return customers. 

Keep at it. Use as many outlets as you deem necessary. Just know that what you are doing is hard. There is no easy solution without a major investment for continual advertising in disguise. Just keep at it and stay virtuous.  
 Glad I could help. Ive been where you have been. It isn't easy, but if your passionate about your work. Then all the effort is worth it.

 Fuck I stacked some yesterday. Bought the dip at just below 69k. I watched it go sideways and bought right before the pump. It was nice to actually buy before an all time high for once lol. 
 Tariffs make things more expensive, just a reminder, it is not to protect your interests. 
 More expensive for other countries to make a profit here if what they do or make isnt from the USA. This allows American companies to actually have a competitive advantage. When we have been crippled by over outsourcing to foreign nations. This advantage brings back and generates more jobs within the USA. 

Foreign nations that want to avoid tarrifs can choose to open up shop here in the USA. By hiring American workers and shifting their products and services to American made. Honestly it is a pretty decent arrangement. 

Companies won't do shit for employees unless there is an incentive. This form of Tarrifs is an excellent incentive that can revitalize many of the most down trodden towns across our nation.  
 Why not move out. Find a good spot in the wilderness. Build your own cabin with free wood pallets and scavenged materials. Live out there for awhile. A couple months without rent and a good hard bull run. Gives you a couple months of hardship yes, but you will also stack harder and be richer sooner too.

 Not just you. Ive had one heck of a fucking day. I'm glad the stress is over and I can relax now.

 My fellow Americans, sorry I wasn't able to cheat you all out of another election. I know the American public didn't actually nominate me. We just got caught again this time. Couldn't printbup enough fake ballots without people noticing either. 

I'm going back to my real passion and called my old boss Slickback. Got my old job back too. If y'all want me I'm available for $100 bucks an hour. Anything goes. You can find me during office hours at the red light with grafitti of a dildo on main street in downtown San Fransisco after 10pm.  
 I've used every single ounce of energy I had to advocate for the US to be progressive like Norway... 
 You can spend all your time and energy trying to convince people that they should think and act the way you do. The problem is that you don't accept that people can have the audicity and right to hold different morals and ethics than you do.

Here in the USA we do have progressives like you, but the vast majority of people disagree with your morals, ethics, and life choices.

For example many of us do not believe in killing unborn babies, selling off their parts, and call it reproductive health rights. Instead we believe in taking responsibility for our sexual actions, or putting children up for adoption if women get knocked up. As well as if it wasn't their fault via rape, or don't want to accept the responsibility of being a parent. That way kind loving people who can't have children naturally can finally become great parents too.

Many of us also have a very basic scientific understanding of biology and the human body. We can easilydetermine which restroom to use with ease, because even at age 2 we know there are only 2 genders. Everything else is a buffet of mental illnesses caused by gender dysphoria. Which is an actual real medical condition that many progressives deny. 

As for women. We treat them as equals, but still have doochebags who don't always pay them equally. This isn't a USA problem, but an international one. So hopefully we can all get our shit together on that subject matter. Just as long as we define a woman as someone who was biologically born that way with all the correct body parts.

I am saying all this to you not to trigger you. It is me sincerely doing my best to explain our differences in beliefs. You live your life in Norway like a Norwegian. We will live our lives  over here like Americans. It is possible to have different beliefs and still be friends. You just have to be willing to be open minded. Allow people to be themselves without influencing the conflicting aspects about them you don't like. 

This is a time for self inflection and personal growth. You will get through this. Try not to worry so much. Things will get better. Focus on improving yourself and living virtuously. Life will fall into place. 
 
 Who is Russ Ulbricht?

No fucking clue. Hear his name everyday. What's his story? 
 So why was he arrested?

Why does everyone feel his sentence should be commuted? 
 I may not have voted, because I lost faith in the election process. However last nights results have given me a little much needed hope. That I may actually be able to afford to remain in my home country and eat food affordable again.  
 That's the look of wow. The world is really going to discover that we are propaganda peddlers. Responsible for crimes against humanity. Now justicw is coming for us.

 The issue is having enough satoshis on the lightning network to open up a node in the first place. Still haven't figured out that little gem after getting everything set up.  
 It's fair to be a little smug today, but America needs Republicans to be the bigger party.

Don't... 
 Not a democrat. Not a republican. 

The only thing I want to reconcile is that everyone that was involved in the pandemic finally get arrested, convicted, and sentenced to a swift noose for crimes against humanity. For plunging our world into 4 years of darkness chaos and insanity. I want the general populations to finally wake up, smell the tyranny, and seek righteous legal vengeance. 

That and finally being able to afford food again would be nice too.  
 Holy fuck dude. He needs some therapy and a Linux chick asap.  
 Based on how he looks and what he may be packing in the sausage department. He probably edits his configs with nano.  
 Anyone else on Amethyst having issues uploading photos to post using TOR?

#Amethyst 
 Whatever the default one is on Amethyst. I didn't make any modifications to relay settings after installation. Orbot is having a hard time connecting. Dozens of refused connections everytime I try. Reset my modem. Updated my phone OS. Made sure ive got the latest version. 

Still can't upload any photos and I have some righteous memeing today lol. 

Oh by the way updating to the obtanium version of Amethyst solve my persistent bug. Thanks for letting me know. Working great now. You are awesome Vitor. 
 Fucking weird. I wonder why orbit is fucking up.  
 Oh my god no its orange paint. 

Run for the hills!!!

Fucking liberal children. Throwing tantrums that in their head make total sense to change things. However logic and reason decide confirm to us all they are dumb asses instead.  
 Woohoo. They aren't making it easier to kill babies.  
 The funny thing is. We don't give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks and that's alright.  
 It has less to do with that. The dynamic is more complicated than you think. 

In this country over decades our morals and ethics have been attacked from the inside. Leaving almost half the country to fall for a divide and conquer agenda. 

Still most Americans believe in the American dream. Work hard. Be honest. Do good. Help people. Raise traditional families. Be a part of a warm welcoming community. These are qualities you can find all over the USA. 

When I say we don't care what the rest of the world thinks. It is, because we want to mind our own damn business. Except there are millions of people who have been brainwashed into being outraged for the agenda de jour. 

Its like for most Americans we are living with a bunch of mentally unstable brainwashed lunatics. That are either slowly realizing how wrong they are, or double down on their stupidity. 

A word of advice for any country is to learn more about each region. For the people there will often be vastly different from place to place. For instance if you go to New York City you will find a surplus of the worlds greatest assholes. Go to Wisconsin and you will find some of the kindest people you will ever meet everywhere.  
 Allow...... Lol

Like we have a choice in the fucking matter. We didn't want a pedo with dementia and an ex hooker at the controls either. Yet here we are. 

Just like most countries on earth. We too are free range debt slaves. People in most countries are alike, because we are human too. 

Maybe one day we will all become truly free. However for now all we have the ability to do is sit back and watch. Take care of ourselves and hope shit doesn't get any worse so we can finally rebuild our nation. 

I just don't care for the politics aspect, because it is all a show, prescripted for entertainment purposes and shoved down our throats. It sucks.

 
 Because the only chance in hell team blue has is to cheat. No one wants another 4 more years of this hell.  
 Wow

You fucking disappointment of a country  
 What did we do now? 
 Sweet. We didn't do it for once.  
 My question is this. What happens when one party is caught red handed massively cheating? 
 I need more election news on here. 

Maybe some hot takes? 
 Its all bullshit. We all know Trump has more than enough votes to win. The issue is now what is team blue going to do. It is a lot harder to cheat now that the public is watching them like a hawk. The logical and legal thing would for them to bow out gracefully with a peaceful transition of power.

However logical and legal aren't exactly in team blues vocabulary. So the question is will they act illogical physically, legally, both, or some event happens that distracts us and drags us into another war, because why not?

Any who it really is anyone's best guess at this point. I'm staying out of it until my faith in election integrity has been restored. All I can say is whatever happens let it be peaceful and no longer under a communist regime of woke. 
 Shit nostr:note1npsep5ryttpltfdzpa05y85vse2yjf9afpzph2g39hny7xep75zqkvu7fu

 Unless there’s a fuckton of money involved.  Then its almost malice.
🧡🍻👊🏻

nostr:no... 
 Why can't it be both?

I have no idea what y'all are talking about, but in my experience both go hand in hand. The peanut butter and jelly of an asshole sandwich. 
 This place gets pretty fucking weird. Slap a warning next time. Somethings you just can't unsee.  
 If it takes longer than a day to count all the votes. You know that someone is trying desperately to cheat right? Before they stole they election the last time. It didn't take days or weeks to announce a winner. Only fake banana republics do that. 

Who is trying to cheat this time?

Whoever was drastically down on votes against their opponent, but now are magically up just enough to win and make it falsely appear like it was a close race. Even though if you do the math having those votes naturally suddenly appear is mathematically impossible. 

They did it before. They are doing it again. See something. Say something. Do not let anyone get away with shit this time. If you believe your vote matters than make sure it is counted and not fucked with. 

I'll be sitting on the sidelines waiting to see how this all plays out. Ive lost faith in elections and having my vote count. Maybe it will be restored if I don't have to live another 4 years under a communist regime again.

I'm going to send you a lovely meme when you are wrong and he wins. It shall be glorious to imagine the smug look on your face wiped away. Replaced with horror that we the people actually had the audacity to not vote for an ex hooker.  
 There's a plan? 
 Fuck yeah. Looks like I bought the BTC dip early this morning before the pump. Nice for that to happen knowing you made the right decision.. 
 So are the leftist liberals going to cause a tantrum when they get reckt today? 
 Actually its peach colored right now. 

Kind of pretty actually....
