what a fucking week.
x is really just an influencer incubator wherein the same people who control the outflows of money elsewhere can propagandize targeted audiences through them, but also works in tandem with the bot farm industry because that's the only way to con advertisers into forking over money for massive but ineffective campaigns.
no matter how right you are about these issues, there will be no resolve because of these incentives and those deeper ties to politics and the media.
really, any platform without the freedom to choose or forgo algorithms, to become a payable entity without approval, is a propaganda platform and its anti-censorship initiatives are gimmicks.
chat one of my most ultimate pipe dreams is to make a fuckton of money and convince the Spanos family to sell me the Los Angeles Chargers so I can bring them back to San Diego where they belong.
I've had an iPhone as my second phone for two weeks now and I hate it, total trash and can't stand the discrepancy between iOS apps and Android apps. like wtf.
I think that if you have the right kind of vibe even bears will let you pet them but donāt take my adviceāIāve only thus far been successful at getting birds to flock around me like Snow White
you donāt need sponsors just yap into the audio notes app on your phone and post it! I would do this but I donāt want my podcast sponsored by the CIA.
chat sometimes I think about how I probably would have been a lot more famous and popular had I gotten into video content creation, for better or for worse, but I'm glad that I didn't for this reason:
I'm just a writer. twitter is a writing platform. I don't use any other kind of platform because writing is the best and you don't need to see my face all up in a camera to get the message. it's far more friendly this way and really has nothing to do with my self-confidence or lack thereof.
imo, we've put such a weird weight on "well if you wouldn't say this to my face then why say it online?" first of all, I'm an introvert and you'll probably never be near my face; secondly, I would say this to your face but I'm not trying to get assaulted because you (not YOU, but you) can't handle it.
writing is MEANT to evoke emotions that might result in some sort of altercation if said in person, and it's good that we have this format to express ourselves even in seemingly uncivilized ways. there's nothing less powerful about writing regardless of the device or the mode of communication.
plenty of people in my generation have fallen in love with other people through chats and text messages. writing often requires thoughtfulness and is heartfelt because there are things some of us are simply too scared to say out loud. I don't see a reason to become a vlogger for that reason. I love the written word and I love writing. I could write all day and chat with people all over the world on the internet and never get bored.
seeing peoples' faces doesn't change how I feel about them from their writing; in fact, it enhances the experience of meeting people because us writing folks are a unique breed of deep thinkers.
I want to be remembered for my writing more than I want to be remembered for my outer appearance tbh, not that I'm that bad to look at!
we all have something we want to be remembered for and I hope that you make the best of whatever that thing is for you š«¶š¼
GM chat, I'm not sure everyone is ok today but I sure do hope that you are š» 
k bitch thanks for reading! š«¶š¼
you know chat I havenāt been on Nostr much lately not because I donāt love this app but because thereās so much drama going on over on the other app whose name shall not be mentioned and a part of me wonders, like, whatās really the end goal of it?
I mean in a logistical sense I suppose the goal is to rally up an army against all of my terminal yet ginormous haters who keep trying to destroy my life with lies and slander but the other goal is to get money for my hempcrete company.
the problem is that so many people just HATE the idea of me even existing in business because theyāre a bunch of wimpy pussies who neither want me in their club (I donāt wanna be) nor do they want me to compete with them cause I will win.
unfortunately, itās too late and Iām already winning in the court of public opinion and with scarce resources. someday soon they will all be BEGGING me to take their money because there are no founders like me anywhere and not even Babylon can cough one up, so the other thing is a weird oneā¦
itās likeā¦ok well Iām a woman and ostensibly I shouldnāt be worrying my pretty little big head about anything and of course if I was cooperative I could just let men handle everything while I do something frivolous for attention. the thing is that I just wanna do it to do it. idc what these weirdos even think or who they are comparing me to, I just wanna do stuff because itās a challenge and men arenāt a challenge.
in fact, men are so unchallenging to me that even if I did get married and have babies I would need something other than man drama to occupy my time. thereās drums and music, of course, and kids are a lot of work, but I donāt think itās a bad thing to run something that matters to me.
but everything is so volatile and men are so weird and finicky so itās like ok fellas how about you just let the money flow and get out of the way then we can talk later. itās deeper than that, obviouslyāmy opinions are controversial to say the leastābut what does that have to do with hempcrete? nothing.
plus Iām already doing the work of lobbying to make hemp growing more accessible and LEGAL. I just keep thinking of all the jobs hempcrete manufacturing will bring and how many cool architectural pursuits might come from it. does romance need to precede that? probably not but it wouldnāt be a bad idea as long as I donāt make any promises I canāt keep and donāt put the cart before the horse and end up in prison like Elizabeth Holmes!
well idk maybe something good will happen. Iām a little too disgusted with these weirdos who act like Iām a leper but also wanna stalk me for some reason, āmonitoring the situationā but also just making things worse. everybody loves me so I donāt know why I have to be stuck in the mud with people who canāt get over being butthurt that DREA WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.
just angers me how they will literally and allegedly collect trash to test the dna but wonāt get the fuck out of the way so I can deal with my life and my health and do something with my time that matters. I hate people who wait for people to die like itās entertainment.
āsheās 91% deadā was the game but that was like six years ago and now they all just feel guilty for being drug and alcohol and sex addicted degenerates who lied to save their own sorry asses from being exposed for doing some weird and freaky shit not only to people within their circle but outside of it.
Iām so grossed out by the OGs of Silicon Valley like I canāt help but think that they all tried to curb stomp my entire life because they were demon possessed.
anyways I pray that God helps them not be such terminal haters.
and if I donāt start this hempcrete company soonā¦
chat one time I went into the bitchat and I dropped a banger and left
an old ethos about complexity being akin to intelligence
another thing to consider is that much of the confusion that happens in terms of Bitcoin macroeconomics seems to have something to do with an overcrowded "stage" of inflationary, or debt based, financial instruments.
Bitcoin is probably one of the long DEFLATIONARY financial instruments and that's, in part, because its value remains the same as it passes hands, or wallets, between people and institutions, etc.
the fiat based central banking system has a lot more middlemen and thus a lot of more inflationary instruments, which might also be considered usurious in natureātake interest rates on loans, for example: by the time a dollar is lent out to a consumer, it might pass through numerous instruments which all add a tax, fee, or charge on each dollar, so the debt to the consumer is actually far higher because the inflation of the price of a dollar will reflect in some other area.
this is how and why the whole world became enslaved to this one usury based financial system and why Bitcoin is so antithetical to it: the only real fees you pay are to buy and send, or if you utilize some sort of intermediary or sell privately with a markup. with how stable Bitcoin has become as a currency, lots of people can actually buy and sell for liquid utility without fear of losing out on a market pump.
and once Bitcoin is accepted everywhere for everything, there will be no need for fiat based on ramps and off ramps, stablecoins and such. price stability means more free circulation and more payments adoption. the lack of volatility while every other asset class is seeing wild swings is why I believe that Bitcoin will someday overtake gold in market cap.
gold is nice and all but Bitcoin is better than gold by far.
chat I hate having a seemingly ephemeral talent like singing and being an expert percussionist (probably) because when I'm not actually performing it's like I forget who I am, but this cycle of self-delusion is what forces me to practice more and more so that the ego recall is easier and faster during those times of slump.
I hope this makes sense.
yes very slow loading times and for the past few days everything just kind of disappeared after I updated it. I like the interface for the most part and it's still my default but there's it is sluggish sometimes and there's stuff with uploading media that's annoying.
anyways, I think it makes a difference in how you approach endings with someone who has serious emotional problems. you can either react according to their own standard, which is hostility or some sort of perverse twisting of a heartfelt "thank you for the lessons but goodbye," but in the end you get to choose to be honest with yourself and honest with them even if it's painful to be.
there are people in every area of life who should never have your time or energy, and especially if you're competing with them in the marketplace of ideas and winning lol.
don't worry chat it's still cringe over there just trying to force quit the acrimony program so we can get moving
GM chat has anyone ever been skydiving? I wanna go so bad!
I had a fairly excruciating sensitive tooth problem for months and then I started brushing with coconut oil and baking soda and it went away + my teeth feel super clean and I think it helped with coffee stains?
proper response
chat what are some of your favorite bands with ridiculously good drummers who make you think wow nobody could ever be that good of a drummer? I need to challenge myself.
I wish I could do that but I'm a woman and I would not survive for long.
that's a cute puppy tbh
chat whatever happened to the family crest??
chat is so bad sometimes
chat sometimes I'm like *having a day* and say shit then a few hours later I'm like wow I really did put that one out there didn't I, and it's low key a bit embarrassing cause what if idk my future husband is watching that go down and what if he changes his mind
1) I don't know any album after the first four, I am that old.
2) SMC, such a banger.
after like five years of taking politicians semi-seriously I can honestly say that they would all be jobless and broke without the ability to dichotomize everything and anything in extremis.
