 So are the leftist liberals going to cause a tantrum when they get reckt today? 
 I see all these satoshis in one of my wallets. Knowing that one day soon 200k satoshis will be worth a lot more than 200k than any fiat currency ever will, or could.  
 Its funny. Here on Nostr I reply to posts without looking into who I am posting a response to. Most of these people have ideologies and passions way outside of my comfort zone. I do not support their way of thinking, or condone their actions in anyway. 

I only support their shit posts, because I they are either funny, or they make think. That is all. 
 I still just wish their email sign up system actually fucking worked. Never got a chance to try fountain.FM. Even after 16+hours of trying.  
 Everything. Multiple phones. Multiple email addresses. I could get the sign up code, but then their own system says it is the wrong code. Tried contacting fountain.FM support and got an auto generated email saying they are understaffed so I probably will never get a response.  
 The squirrel. 

Not bring back anyone from hell. 

Seen more than enough horror movies to know that's a bat shit bad idea. 
 Trump lost. It’s official. Anyone that says differently is a tool. 
 I too thought elections were today. 

They are tomorrow. 

Also, do we get to choose what kind of tool when you are proven wrong with a dose of reality? 

A chainsaw, or industrial laser would be pretty neat if I was forced to become an inanimate object that was able to perceive its own existence.   
 Deterrence dispensed indeed. That gun is bent to all fuck. You shoot that your gun gonna explode in your face. I ain't touching it. 
 Intriguing design.  
 A carnival worker transvestite finds a bag filled with meth in an alley next to a dead Elvis Impersonator. Celebrates in their apartment enthusiastically after getting high. While immediately having a mental breakdown, because he can't decide whether to go out to eat. Versus staying home and yell at the house plant for being a dirty slut, because it got the stuffed cat pregnant again.  
 Should I wait until tomorrow morning to buy more bitcoin, or buy it now? 

Not sure how much more of a discount on satoshis there will be in the next 24 hours.  
 I'm not nervous. I just want this clown show over. Then I can have a couple years of peace before the circus comes to town again.  
 Thanks. I needed this. 
 See shit is so crazy now. I wouldn't be surprised if this is real. 
 Can someone please send me some motivation. I'm lost. Don't have the will today to move forward. Feeling listless. 
 I am very confused by what I am looking at here. 

Looks like asscheecks, a brain looking ballsack, and a babies arm.  
 Oh look she promises to kill more babies.

Quick rush out and vote!!!

Holy fuck when this is your platform you know that your party is morally bankrupt and evil.  
 So will we get the results by the end of the day like a real election would, or are we going to have to wait another month and be a banana republic again? 
 If you want cheap sats, vote for Harris! nostr:note1ulf7dmw5gdnjcg6x56c0rethmju6fllshcuy458gyjegt... 
 Fuck off.  
 When I drink my first cup of coffee in the morning. It is delightful. It is relaxing. Life is wonderful.

Holy fuck now run to the bathroom as fast as you can!!! Shit is about to get real.

This is my groundhog day style love affair with the heavenly brew and my morning BMs.

 Just want to say thanks for being awesome. Keep up the great work.  
 MY question is if Bob Ross was still alive, would they have come for Peapod the Pocket Squirrel?
... 
 Depends on the state. His home state of florida, fuck no. They keep alligators as pets there. 

Did he live in Indiana late in life? Don't know their policy over there, but the seem like a pro squirrel state.  
 Tennessee becomes the first state to protect voice artists from unauthorized AI cloning, marking ... 
 Tennessee is having some good legislation passing through there lately. Always loved that state and the smokey mountains.  
 So many insane people in the world who think they are sane. Is there a resolution? 
 Holy shit. This looks like a younger version of my local gas station attendant. 
 Honestly I would have to say what are you trying to hunt?

If you are in the wild and you have to get up close and personal potentially with your prey. Being able to have 5-10 follow up shots for a takedown via a lever action is preferable.

If you can take your time and are in a safe location to take a shot. Bolt action is more accurate and can reach out to longer distances to takedown your target.  
 Once you fall in love with yourself,
Their game is over. 
 What are the best open source defi projects where you can get some btc on the lightning network? 
 Not good. Can you recommend any alternative projects that provide a similar level of protection?

 Title: Bitcoin and the Psyche: A Freudian Exploration of the Digital Currency Phenomenon

In this... 
 Fuck Sigmund Freud!

Sick incestuous bastard fucked up modern psychology so bad. That we are still trying to recover from his insanity.   
 Please elaborate. I am confused as fuck by your statement.  
 So maybe hallucinogenic mushrooms are just a way for fungi to communicate their knowledge of the ... 
 Magic Mushrooms have a spirit of their own. Many people take them to trip balls and have a good time. Those who have a spiritual understanding know that it is a teacher. 

One that will guide you towards discovering things about yourself which are designed to help you heal. To better understand deeper aspects about reality and the true nature of things. 

It will take you to the darkest depths of your imagination. As well as to the brightest realms that leave you feeling as if anything is possible. Once you have mastered it and become one with the mushroom itself you can benefit from controlling the trip and experience whatever your imagination desires. Like augmented reality only much cheaper.  
 Can anyone recommend a good AI image generation software that runs on Linux, is open source, and is optimized for CPU and RAM instead of requiring a dedicated GPU to run? 
 I swear mainstream news is using AI more for creating fake news stories than we are using it to create memes. 

All I see is fake people everywhere. Fake leaders. Fake celebrities. Fake influencers. Fake rich people. Fake politicians especially. 

Anyone else noticing how some people look one way famously their entire lives. Now we look at them and wonder if this is an impersonation contest? 

I'm not talking about the ones who look like they are going through pretty bad withdrawal either. That's another can of worms I'm not going to touch.

Really makes you wonder why do they need so many fake people?

What happened to the real ones? 
 Thanks. I really wanted a Porsche. 
 Hollywood is evil and propagates evil. 
 Yes. This is true.  
 #Linux
#LinuxMint

Was planning to try Linux Mint, go to their web site using my default Browser ... 
 You don't know the half of it sister. Try this on for size anyone with Linux Mint, or ESPECIALLY fucking MXLinux on a fresh installation. Download the application etherape and run it as root. Monitor the network traffic for 10 minutes. Notice all the domains and IP addresses that it connects to. Suspects indeed.  Catch them red handed and demand an explanation. You probably won't get one. 

If you are looking for Linux recommendations from trustworthy distros. I can help you. Just ask. I'm here if you need me.  
 If you are looking for just user friendly Linux distro I would recommend PopOS. Their LTS version specifically. Definitely enable automatic window tiling for an awesome workflow improvement experience.  

If you want rock solid security and a reliable long term workstation. I would recommend Alma Linux 9. It is pretty easy for beginners too if you don't need advanced configuration options related to security. 

For a more traditional desktop experience that is highly configurable I would recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed. With KDE for more modern systems and XFCE for systems with less hardware resources. 

If you want to say fuck it all. Dive in deep. Make Linux whatever you want it to be, but it is on hard mode. With the best documentation wiki in the multiverse. I would recommend Arch Linux. 

If you want to say fuck it all. Dive in deep. Make Linux whatever you want it to be, but it is on amateur mode. I would recommend Endeavor OS, because it is pretty much Arch Linux, but ready to go out of the box.  
 PopOS if they are open to trying new things in terms of a desktop environment. It has the easiest out of the box support for hardware drivers. Once you get into it for work, gaming, or entertainment purposes it is hard not to love.

If they are super stubborn almost to the point of what the fuck is wrong with you. Then the  cinnamon desktop environment with the right themes is a excellent choice. Can even trick people into thinking it is windows 10. Debian has a good version of it that is stable and Ive had great experience with senior citizens switching to it. Lasting for several years carefree. 
 Elementary is great if you are coming over from the Apple Mac world. Overall the Pantheon desktop environment chooses very opinioned aesthetics. Pantheon does not adapt well to customization. 

This is for the user that likes things to look visually pleasing minimalism. With an ok work flow that mostly gets out of your way. You want to spend more time in your applications. Due to no real reason, or motivation to tweak anything.

Its not my cup of tea. I always feel like it isn't as fast as other distros. Lacks crucial features that are deal breakers. Can't speak for its overall security either. Plus I love customizing Linux and I feel you can only go so far with Pantheon.

In conclusion it is not the best choice. It is not the worst choice. It is the right choice for ex Mac users only. IMHO. 
 Fuck this sounds like me. 
 Nah, there is still hope. This is shorts weather.  
 Engage crazy people in conversion, but expecting a civilized debate in return. This ones on me. Enjoy your false assumptions about me and reality in general. Have a wonderful life.
