 Thinning the gene pool 😃 
 What chain is this, I don't recognize the label?  
 What I learned today,  Ring was on the Shark Tank!

 I wish someone could explain to me in non-racist terms why South America is not part of "the west". 
 I was going to give my opinion but thought maybe I should see what the Wikipedia says: I'm glad I did because I would have left out NZ and Australia :

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world

 The Western world, also known as the West, primarily refers to various nations and states in the regions of Australasia,[a] Western Europe,[b] and Northern America; with some debate as to whether those in Eastern Europe and Latin America[c] also constitute the West.[5][6][7] The Western world likewise is called the Occident (from Latin occidens 'setting down, sunset, west') in contrast to the Eastern world known as the Orient (from Latin oriens 'origin, sunrise, east'). The West is considered an evolving concept; made up of cultural, political, and economic synergy among diverse groups of people, and not a rigid region with fixed borders and members.[8] Definitions of "Western world" vary according to context and perspectives.[9]

 
 Howdy nostr ! I'm such a newb when it comes to digital currency.  

Is there an easy to follow guide on how to use crypto with nostr? Starting from how to set it up by using a wallet,  securing it and then using it with nostr.  Also a beginner guide as to the various networks and currencies.  I mean very basic stuff.  Its very overwhelming for us the Un-initiated!

 Canadian Actor Donald Sutherland has passed. He was 88 years young. RIP  
 Most NGOs are part of the US government propaganda networks much like NED, which does some of the work the CIA did in the past. 😕 
 Where's the granola and yogurt? 😀 
 It's good for the gut bacteria! 
 This is so cool! The woodworking skill alone!

 I'm afraid it may happen before the November election in the US, if Ukraine is overwhelmed too quickly. After that the Russians won't care. But they're ready if NATO wants to play tough. Let's hope it doesn't come to nuclear!  
 Feels like everything is stagnant. 
People barely  respond when I talk to them

Is it just me?

 How long have you been on Nostr? 
 Cool - I'm still figuring things out. Don't understand cryptocurrency at all. I wish there was some sort of documentation for newbs like me to cryptocurrency in terms of Nostr! 
 That would be great, thanks so much! Should I register first?  
 Why I'm against nearly all forms of regulation. 

The idea that we can precisely control one beha... 
 I'm pretty sure we're all living in a simulation 😆 
 I've been banned on YouTube. I don't understand why because I wasn't hosting any videos. How is this possible? All yours truly has done is share videos to social media, from channels in Good Standing!  
 Hi, thanks for responding.
I tried the resolution process, but it wasn't positive. I'm on Google One and tried to find out through that entity, but the post wouldn't go through. It seems it was filtered. I'm really scratching my head on this.

I did have a channel under a different user name, and 16 years of content was erased with a snap of the finger's. It was geopolitical in nature, not following the official narrative so understand why it was removed. It seems the NAFOs have some clout! 
 The BreX scandal. Fortunately I didn't invest. Somebody was angry at this man, or else he had something to say. Who knows!?

 Fuck the Neanderthals! Women are truly a man's better half. My ex often caused me to pause, helping me avoid making some awful decisions.  
 So Ditto federates to NOSTR? I'm liking that! Seems like a killer feature for me. Same privacy control as NOSTR? 
 Anarchists, do you wanna fight the police state? Join the military, and stage a coup.  
 Sounds like fun! 😁 
 Damn got banned again. Didn't like my views on Ukraine, called me a Russian propagandist. I'm not, just a simple truth seeker who sees through the B$. Ah well, what can you do... 😎😁

 Doubtful. Carnivores have different teeth FWIU. Ours are mostly for chewing vegetables, grains. All carnivores have large fangs for tearing and killing.

 After the Soviet Union dissolved they weren't patrolling until recently from what I understand. So an entire generation has grown up not really fearing nuclear weapons. Time to get educated. Hell I remember having nuclear attack drills at school during the Cold War! 
 Hello world 
 Hello back! What genre of activism do you partake in? 
 Well, attempting to help others understand that Russia isn't our enemy, and the Empire's entire economy seems to need forever wars to keep the world in a mess. I'm very afraid that the stupid American leadership is sleepwalking us into a nuclear/ww3. 
 When someone like Scott Ritter wants to travel to Russia to speak at a conference, he isn't techn... 
 He's one sided because we have been indoctrinated immensely in the west. I'd believe him, he's not spouting disinformation. Many former spooks agree 💯 % with him as do I. I'm not easily convinced about anything. 
 All Russia is doing is giving the US the same treatment as they're experiencing on their borders. Many Americans don't seem to understand that the US practices bombing runs every day on the Russian Federations borders. Using an attack profile is extremely dangerous when practiced against a nation with nuclear capabilities. That's how reckless NATO has been! The fools think Russia is bluffing. I wouldn't be taking that chance. Why is Putin the only adult in the room for fucks sake!? 
 Russia has said that if these provocations continue, they will arm the Houthis and the other members of the axis of resistance. If that happens, all US bases in the middle east will be destroyed as will Israel. The Russians aren't screwing around anymore. Can you imagine what the US would do if the Russians trained an army in Canada or Mexico to directly attack the US? For gawds sake, that's what we've been doing in Ukraine after managing the coup in 2012! Russia is showing great restraint, until now. Directly attacking Russia with supplied NATO weapons that require a NATO soldier to configure and select a target is a redline for Russia. Someone in the US administration has got to play the grown-up and stop these extremely dangerous escalations FFS! 
 NATO was designed to be a DEFENSIVE organization against the Warsaw Pact which disbanded in the early 90s. It should have been disbanded too. 
 Yup, agreed with your analysis, you seem to know what's going on 👋 
 Yeah, but who are the Russians going to negotiate with, is the million $ question! 
 She's not a socialist - I don't think you actually know what it means. She's a Neoliberal which is basically the same as conservative these days, but with the wokeism plague. 
 How about evil moron? 
 Think he'll regret it later?

 #Freerse released their source code and nobody looked at it, right? 
 Is it available on F-Droid? 
 Nah Iran showed that it's relatively easy to punch holes through the "Iron Dome".
