 I've shut down my X a few months ago. Now I've received an email inviting me to join community notes. 🤣 GFY! 
 Chronological timeline feels like l miss lots of content from other timezones or when not online.... 
 Like Ryan said, try out discovery on Amethyst. You can also create custom lists for your contacts then browse the timeline accordingly on noStrudel by switching your timeline from "following" to one of your lists. For example, I have a devstr list and a friendstr list and I usually start my day by reviewing the timeline for those two lists before I switch it to following.  
 This is so dystopian. Coming to a country near you… nostr:note17zwvuutl2lmxq7ht0a5a3k8v5mk03m5d... 
 Meanwhile in Germany. SEK raids the house of a pensioner after calling vice chancellor Habek an idiot (Schwachkopf) on social media.

 I wish home education were an actual thing in Germany. But "Schulpflicht" ensures that our kids are formed and educated the way the government deems right. 
 Bro how did ametheyst get it so right off the bat? 
 Wtf is Solana? A blockchain VM? 
 I call it maintenance chain 
 How are you going to keep social security and pensions afloat if you give the money that should go to your elders to migrants? 
 It's not like they're paying into social security 
 It's even worse than that. There is websites showing people how to claim benefits not in one EU country but several. It's literally migrant money tourism within the EU. Then they get in to their new Tesla and drive home to the Ukraine over the weekend to chill with the family. 
 Read that wrong the first time

 I'm available to join this challenge 
 🤣 GFY! 
 You're up early man 
 Damn! I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep 
 right, you're an hour ahead atm. forgot. you gaming? I'm about to hop on. 
 I got lucky for getting zapped on nostr early.

At least that's what they'll say. 
 Yeah apparently being early is one my life skills. Maybe the only one 😉  
 🤣 we'll see about that. If I had kids they'd hate me later. 
 If we don’t care about X, we shouldn’t care about Redsky. 

After all, they are just siphonin... 
 I see what you did there 👏  
 If you think Wall Street wont screw over retail investors putting their savings into ETF then you should watch The Big Short and Dump Money again. 
 They're fighting? I thought they were having sex

 In Nostr with the Gossip model (NIP-65) it is literally impossible to execute any kind of censors... 
 Unless you're Primal and you ban by npub's like they did during the shadow ban incident last year 
 You using both of your identities is confusing 😆  
 I hear you. It's why I stopped using @thiefofsats. I'd post a chart with that npub then reply as myself or as the FBI. 😆   
 I've never send coins to a wrong address in over 12 years! Amazes me how people manage to fuck up like this.

 Even wilder if you don't go broke on such a huge fuck up. 
 LOL what? I need to google this 
 Thanks!

 GM Dan :coffeestr:  
 @Gigi check your messages please. I found your DM on Amethyst which doesn't show on noStrudel. Replied. 
 oh wow, that looks like the sun in a mist 💜

 GM ☕ . Have a great Sunday! 
 still on the first cup but I'm nice to nice people 😉  
 You've literally sent this note from the ONLY client that is just a twitter clone. A shitty one at that. 
 watch

 Trust nobody. That's why we Bitcoin and nostr.  
 I’m tired of them talking about aliens. So they are underwater now. just fucking show us then. ... 
 They're obviously using cloaking devices man. c'mon! 
 I’ve seen people here say they’d like a Nostr app like TikTok for video. I’ve even thought ... 
 THIS!

 Should I stream this? I mean, gonna play for a bit so may as well right?

 yes 
 I would like to see a client which puts the block height next to a notes timestamp. Actually, I would like to see block height in the menu of clients in general. 
 Unix time is probably better for exact time. block height is more suited for reference. Imagine setting up a meeting on block height and then there is no blocks for an hour or 4 blocks back-to-back. Wont work 😉  
 You can? How do you do that? 
 So many hidden features!! Thank man. 
 Half Life 2 is celebrating it's 20th anniversary and is free to keep on steam for a short while. ... 
 great memories 
 It's over. It was nice knowing you all!

(why are they doing these things on the weekend? phone went off too) 
 Oh it's just Austria? I got worried for a minute 😆  
 Yeah last time, with the Austrian revolver, didn't work out! 🤣

 I need a legit Abacus mirror. My private urls have stopped working. #asknostr #monero.

 "Nostr is for everyone"
"Monero crowd gfy!"

Really? I thought we're here for the decentralisation, freedom of speech and for our privacy? Everything else is a question of preferences and at least Monero is an actual coin with an actual blockchain and not some smart contracted shit-token on some shit-chain. 
 PoW is PoW! 
 cheers 🥂  
 oh? Was that recently? 
 Anyone can use it if they want. Or don't. Though I doubt that wall street is gonna sink money into it 
 Yes it is. Mine keeps in sync. Maybe try again if you have use for it. 
 need to cut down on the coffee, in fact just eliminate it entirely.
You know what works? Sleep. I... 
 yeah sounds like you need a good break from like everything man 
 Pensions and europe

The pension systems in Europe are a pyramid scheme and I will prove it to yo... 
 true story. The German pensions basically don't exist any more. The funds have been misallocated and the failed Ampel coalition is now talking about reducing pensions in their "broad efforts" to fix their fuck-ups of the last decade. Bürgergeld, Germany's version of universal income, will be reduced or scrapped again. Something they should have never introduced to start with. 

In other words, the current administration has completely destroyed our social security infrastructure and they have no clue how to fix it.
