Don’t worry, I’m a nerd too but the good kind. Not the Elon evil kind. Lol

This is by far the greatest thing to happen this decade and possibly this century for the general masses.

In a matter of months Nostr has gone from something the likes of free speech advocates from early 2020 were told they should build if they wanted to share their conspiracy ideas and wished they had already, to being more advanced and feature rich than a half dozen decades old multibillion dollar social media companies.

Not to mention it brings all levels of identity validation, spam mitigation, true user engagement (no algos), seamless commerce, and more to the table in addition.

Well this whole dang community is 🔥🔥🔥. I legit am just happier and more content in life and I seriously can say that it’s from getting off all other forms of social media where anger is manipulated towards me. My relationship with those around me is happier and better, my mood is better and I just generally feel like a happier person!

Ha that’s crazy, I literally said the same thing just now after totally missing all this earlier. That means it works and is a great symbol for the message it conveys.

This is straight 🔥 Angela! So much meaning in one simple picture. Orange and purple, Bitcoin and Nostr, finance and society, commerce and communication, currency and speech!

I don’t know how podcast work under the hood, but I have really loved using pocketcast on my phone, watch or via CarPlay seamlessly and intermittently when traveling. And the deep customization is a nice bonus that you don’t expect to have.

That thought travels through my head every day. The last piece of freedom is the freedom to peacefully transact. Have a free and open market where the likes of the people decide the fate or success of any given thing.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

It’s so amazing how many people have missed this basic information that is so readily available. Is he a great marketer and publicist? Absolutely! But has there ever been any solid proof or indication of him building anything? Too many times he’s been caught saying one thing and doing another. Watch this hand and ignore this one. It’s a show and he does it better than anyone.

I’ve followed Jack for a long time now and he always gets painted in a terrible light by those that oppose our views, but yet he always seems to support the most important things quietly and they always turn out to be right choice.

As they say, “Let it roll off like water on a ducks back”

More like Nope-timism… 🙃

I haven’t dug into the whole seed oil thing too deeply, but I’d say peanuts are the exception here. They’re very nutrient rich with over 30 essential nutrients alone and very healthy and versatile as George Washington Carver demonstrated. There were over 300 uses at the time, probably more now.

Source: grew up where 65% of the US peanuts are grown within 100 mile radius. It’s our thing.

Yeah, liquidity isn’t the problem for me either and I want to open some
