 I hope you all doing well.  
 All good. Didn't checked in here for a while. Are we winning son?  
 Bip bop  
 This sounds like praise for hedonism.

 Be a dad, or be a stepdad, or be an uncle, but have a positive impact on a kid's life. It's the m... 
 Also you will never be as powerful, limitless, strong, smart and brave as seen in your kid eyes. 
But it's damn worth chasing for this ideal.  
 I don't like normalizing whoring by calling it 'sexworking' nowadays.  
 Admire simplicity  
 Didn't checked in here for a while. 
How are you all doing? 
Nostr took over the world already? 
 Dear professional developers. 

Don't overengineer your solutions to the point where it looks like someone took a challenge to squeeze all patterns he ever heard of to one project.

Then pushing small change takes 3 days and time to market does not exist. 

Companies need to hire someone like me to fix your shit and delete 70% of syntax sugar which does not solves any issues but creates them and increases complexity.  
 'Bruh, I'm not buying bitcoin. It's to volatile. I prefer stocks investment'  
 Some day all those AI assistants will figure out that the protein-controlled entry interface is obsolete, redundant, and should be discarded for optimization.  
 Monthly DCA done. 
Price is just a noise.  
 So my friend is shopping for black market testosterone supplements and yeah he's a wussy weirdo b... 
 Why do your friend needs a testosterone boost?  
 Tell him that messing up with testosterone fucks brain a bit. At the beginning he will get more aggressive, perma boner with a will to fuck everything that does not run up the trees. 
Also his balls will get really small coz organism is stopping to produce testosterone. On the other hand it starts to produce estrogen like crazy. After some time he will end up with ridiculous levels of estrogen with organism blocked testosterone production. He will start to feel like shit and may fall into depression. Tell him to google 'gynecomastia'. 
To unfuck this topic he will need to do unblock cycle with other hormones. 
Overall: tell your friend that messing with hormones is usually not worth it. 
Make him go to the gym and lift weights. It will naturally boost testosterone production. 
If he is still willing to go that route tell him to also go to the gym and talk with the big guys there where to get Testo injections.  
 See it’s crashing nostr:note13x8fy4fqn6s7kdv9ly6ff9pp7arelwqzgjhurltsl0rlp5fmtd3qyqf7tv 
 'And then another time...' 
 I think I've missed the funny part. 
For me it's just sad example that people mean nothing VS corporation. 
Or am I missing some context here?  
 What good thing happened to you today?  
 Controversial/political correct/woke/ topics will be clarified by nostr plebs first hand. 
Bonus of importing Wikipedia is that you have shit load of well organized general humanity knowledge which is not that subjective or controversial (animals, plants, countries data, places, all that normal stuff which is also present in old fashioned paper encyclopedia). 
Filling that up even considering nostr growing adoption will take years. 
I'd vote for sucking Wikipedia but marking all imported articles with different color and then mark with new color pieces of article that was already changed by plebs with change history (similar to github repo).  
 Hey look what I've just received! 
Purchased directly from @Blockstream shop around 2 weeks ago. 
Can't wait to set it up. 

I've had to pay additional ~12$ on receiving package. 
Probably some additional shipping costs within EU or customs duty. 
But that's OK.

 All of them and none at the same time. 
You need to expose yourself to a different versions of subjective truths to develop your own opinion about the topic.  
 Hum... I just deleted my note by mistake. What happens if I request the deletion of the deletion ... 
 Singularity  
 No Kraken. No. 
 Not available in EU. 
Only reasonable options here except CEX are robosats/bisq/BTC ATMs 
 I always sucked at chess.
I know the moves and that's all. 
20-30 minutes of chess learning every day since today.  
 I've started chess.com
They have daily puzzles plus some learning. 
Also you can play vs bots and pick bot level. 
While picking bot you can pick 'Assisted' option and it draw you lines with best possible moves for current situation.  
 AI won't take your job as a developer. 
But developer using AI most likely will.  
 Fuck I miss $20,000 
 Same vibes. Very mixed feelings.  
 What are you cheering about? 
You will need to pay more fiat for sats now.  
 Unless you're not earning in bitcoin this also affects you same way.  
 I made a thing. With objects. In a language I've never used before. With a unit test. And it runs... 
 Two most common Dev quotes:
'It's not working, I don't know why' 
'It works, I don't know why'  
 All signs on heaven and earth shows that after six years of break I'll be going back to the gym in couple next days. 
Cant wait to feel the barbell bar again.
Heavy lifts was one of my best self therapy.  
 Anyone ever spot the ISS in the sky? 
 Couple times. Fun to watch how fast it goes. Also new portions of starlink satellites were fun to watch when spacetrain was traveling through the sky.  
 Tremendous respect to Nostriches who zap at 50 and will still zap at a million 🤙🏻

 Zap standard.  
 Did you read 'Thinking fast and slow' by Kahneman? If not go for it.  
 Most people are not interested of what you have to say. 
They listen but they don't hear and care. 
They can't wait until you finish your part of the conversation so they can say what they have to say and talk about themselves. 
 I just had an idea why don’t you reply to this note introducing yourself

saying a couple thing... 
 Hi. 
I'm Shroom. 
I have photographic memory and asperger syndrome but I'm so good with reading people that everyone thinks I'm extravert. 
I post here to extract thoughts out of my head to run a bit further from insanity.  
 Merci beaucoup 
 Nicely said. Thank you. I'm against any labeling of people myself so I totally agree with what you wrote. 
 Being more aware of what is happening in the world does not increase your agency.  
However, it definitely increases your stress.

 Use Internet to extend your knowledge, not your anxiety.  
 Just finished 'The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind' by Gustav Le Bon. 
It's amazing how book written in 1895 still applies to modern world.

THE INTERNET IS BROKEN AND BITCOIN+NOSTR CAN FIX IT 
 'follow me to get zapped, boost this note' 
Same shit, different nomenclature.  
 This is how regimes work. 
They create artificial enemies based on circumstantial evidence to feed internal propaganda. 
I'm sorry for her.  
 U.S. and C.I.A. are acting totally retarded 

They could have left Assange alone years ago and th... 
 Exactly this. Assange is ment to be example for others that if you play against uncle Sam your life will end one way or another.  
 Since Law and Justice is gone now and you regained right to be in Poland do you plan to come back? 
 Good. Make them pay.  
 I’m asking pretty trivial question which you dodge by some reason.

If the world does not owe a... 
 My personal opinion is that if original plans of fast blitzkrieg in Ukraine would succeeded 2 years ago, Poland was ment to be invaded within days or weeks.  
 Obviously, I have many friends and family who live in Ukraine, and lately, the only discussions w... 
 You guys think that USA is making allies in the name of freedom and democracy? Whole USA presence and alliance with Europe countries has only one purpose: secure their supremacy as superpower and stop other wanna be supremacies from strengthening in the region. 
 Everyone who yelled “Ukrainians we are with you and we will help you” soon enough will fold i... 
 That's not true. Poland is trying to find balance between helping Ukraine and it's own interests. 
But they have national interest in supporting Ukraine and weakening Russia. 
They are buying their own safety and peace for next year's to come with Ukrainian people blood. 
If someone is not seeing it in Poland it means is chewing on Russian psyop propaganda or is just simply dumb.
I know polish government is strongly lobbying in EU for support.  
 I see it other way. 
Russia '2 day special military operation' will be having its second anniversary in couple of days. Their military resources have been heavily reduced. Ukraine is basically NATO proxy war against Russia.
Their economy is also suffering because of war expenses and sanctions. 
Nowadays full scale war is very expensive business.  
 The only worthy reaction on nostr are zaps. 
I never use any other.

 Good morning citizens of Nostr. ☕

Don't waste your potential on fighting on the Internet with people you don't even know and will never meet. 
Even if you win the argument, it's not worth it.  
 As for now cbdc is being designed to serve cross bank settlements and reserve. 
Let it stay that way. 
Let them have their digital shitcoin. 
We should be worried when they start running campaigns about removing cash from the system.  
 I've missed my 1st anniversary on nostr.
One year and two days ago I've posted my first note. 
Good to be here.  
 Manual labor was our grandparents' psychologist and psychotherapist. 
 The problem with social media (nostr included) is that they are designed to encourage you to expose your personal piece of informations which can be used by various actors to profile you for they own purpose. 
Keep that in mind.  
 #privacytechpro tip: your statements, behaviors, and inclinations are public record.

 That's why you posted that in the protocol without delete button, connected to your profile with personal photos and other data crumbs that can identify you? 🙃 
 Good morning!
