Ahhh my nizzle bizzle fo shizzle rizzle, it’s been a hizzle mizzle since we chizzle for rizzle! (Btw, Siri tried so hard to correct all those. She’s no 90’s kid!)

If every word isn’t followed by -izzle, you might not be a Milli! Yeah that’s what I’m calling is now. We’ve earned ours!

That’s wrong…we would never reveal our self defense mechanism unless danger was imminent.

That must be his backup!

Y’all 100 throwing shade! These GZs have no idea what we had in the 90’s! SIKE!

I legit was about to cry watching Artemis I and stayed up all night to watch it (check my BirdApp shitposting for proof lol).

Apollo 13 is my favorite movie of all time, even though they never made it to the moon. They overcame literally insane odds (just google the story about when they mixed the tanks, any earlier and they would’ve run out of oxygen before they hit the moon) and showed manned space flight was possible in even the worst conditions. Ever since I can remember I wanted to go to space. I grew up in a small town where you can see almost every star in the solar system and I’d literally lay in my back yard all night dreaming of what life was like “up there”. My biggest disappointment was learning we hadn’t been to the moon since Apollo and it seemed we’d never try again. Sadly if I would’ve just stuck with it, I’m of optimal age to have been selected to go if I wouldn’t ignored the naysayers.

But here I am with you plebs forging a new path and maybe one day our corn will be as valuable as a tourist space flight!

✌️💜🚀🤙

You’ll take my 🤙 and like it!

I’ve seen this debate like 100 times already. Likes are akin to a wave or a head nod to a passerby/stranger. In our context it’s like a “hey that’s cool, I agree or ‘like’ that thought” and let you know you’re not just speaking to the void. And for non-Bitcoiners, they can still participate. You only have 1 like to give. The more likes, the more you can tell there’s a consensus of thought.

Zaps are nice because they can award creators of good content. Someone shouldn’t need to zap me to say “yeah I agree that it’s a good day”. I didn’t create anything except a GM post. But I can zap my own post 1m Sats and people could think that’s good content. It can be manipulated in some aspects

Just my 2 Sats!

I’ve never had mobile data issues but I also have background app losing off. Wonder if that helps keep stuff from constantly loading when I’m not actively using it.

Replying to nobody

Some thoughts on "influencers" on Nostr:

I just thought I'd share a bit about the kind of people who have influenced me here, because I believe something different holds value to this community, and because I want to recognize the people who have shaped my experience - the people who have actually influenced me.

#[0] who convinced me to give this new thing a real try, by reaching out within 5 minutes of me being here.

#[1] for making me realize that my best friends would be found here.

#[2] for showing me that truly positive people still existed, and that they wanted to share that positivity with me.

#[3] for answering a really stupid question when I was new and already trying to run a relay, which convinced me to contribute.

#[4] and #[5] and #[6] for showing me that friendship, generosity, and caring were an international language.

#[7] for being a great guy friend, fellow book fiend, and political meme'ologist who made me feel a lot less alone in the world.

#[8] and #[9] for making me laugh at inappropriate times and inappropriate places, which has prompted me to explain what the hell Nostr is to more people than anything else.

#[10] and #[11] for showing me that people here still cared about their craft more than the number of followers their users had.

#[12] and #[13] for being colleagues who both discuss and educate me. I think deeper because of both of your posts.

#[14] for a single comment that made me feel prouder of myself than I have felt in years.

#[15] for posting on Twitter about Nostr - because I might never have found this wonderful place otherwise.

#[16] #[17] and #[18] for my first hell thread, and some really great encouraging words. Well, I think those were Jesus, but you had to be there.

#[19] and #[20] for thinking I was worthy of entertaining my ideas.

#[21] #[22] and @npub1gvy07gxw6uu8rd57mz72mg4q2x7r5ptpp5gc832dv768e58hqd0q5nyn0t again for hysterical laughter, including me in a group to which I was new, and always making room for me.

There are so many. They didn't do it to "influence" me. But they have and will, more than any influencer on the Internet ever will. These are real people, who do the real things that make our community great. Everyone on here will have their own list, and that's what's great.

So often we get lost in hero worship that we forget the people who actually mean the most to us. Nostr would not be Nostr to me without these people. All the technology, advancements, etc. would lose their value without the real people on the other end of it.

So, thank you. With everything in my heart, thank you to all of you who are a part of my Nostr experience. Thank you to all of you who made this home.

Who are your real influencers? When is the last time you told them how important they are to you?

All my boys! I’m just over here lurking in the shadows waiting to zap and purple pill some plebs like:

Dang, needs to be higher quality to save and zoom. But I had a nice beef barbacoa tacos tonight. 🥩 ftw!

Anyone else feel like we should take up a donation for Sir Gensler’s new Preparation-H 🧴prescription? Maybe we should throw in some KY jelly as a bonus after that absolute shellacking by Congress today!

👏 Bravo to Congressmen McHenry, Donalds, and Emmer (probably more) today! Someone is doing their job at least!

Time to update that resume Gary! I’ll poor one out for my homie! 🫗 (not really, I just saw that emoji and wanted to use it. GFY!)

This whole run up in price is manipulated as hell! Keep your heads on a swivel. 👀

It’s just magic internet money…it’s not even real so gamble away!!! 😂

Exactly. I said relay, but I guess really this could & should be more client-based than relay based. Allows an income stream for #[10]​ #[11]​ #[12]​ #[13]​ and others but also gives the users autonomy to opt-in and get paid while providing a cost incentive not to spam the crap out of everyone. Think Brave browser-esque design.
