"I know we can't legally stop you from using our name and logo, but won't you do it out of decency?"

"Mmmmm...no."

Freedom

Times still need improvement, obviously, as is with all things.

I enjoy writing to the world as though it is friendly.

The world is not entirely friendly but most people I run into are pleasant and kind, overall.

The news media makes it seem as though the world is about to come to an end.

There are more important things in the world than just doing not a whole lot.

I would rather do the right thing, always.

Doing the right thing is necessary for peace, and prosperity.

Hopefully, 2024 will turn out to be a good year.

On the whole, I appreciate the mental health wellness centers and not the politics that is so tribal and illogical.

Peace and serenity.

Nothing is a race to the finish.

Take your time, enjoy your cup of coffee.

Take it easy.

It's alright

I enjoy freedom of speech.

It's important to keep our rights as free as possible.

Without freedom, there is no voice.

Without a voice, there is no progress.

Progress and freedom are intimately linked and essential for the growth and wealth of a nation.

But protocols are better and more positive for some reason.

Bitcoin is free speech.

Protocols are freedom.

When freedom is given to the people, good things happen.

What could be more patriotic than defending freedom?

Peace through strength..

Speak softly and carry a big stick

I like this site way better than Twitter.

Twitter is garbage by comparison.

The algorithm is annoying.

I don't want to be bombarded with every trending idea on Earth.

Times are good.

I won't complain anymore.

I've got to keep on getting out and exploring.

I think times will improve.

I keep trusting that times will get better.

And oftentimes they do get better.

We ought to defend free speech rigorously and aggressively.

With a robust free speech culture, we are developing a higher tolerance to people of different backgrounds or cultures. We are more tolerant. Not less.

Governments in other countries have a lot more restrictions on speech.

No country is perfect.

But prosperity can flourish where freedom prevails.

The wealth of nations depends on giving Americans every tool they possibly need to be successful and prosperous.

With Nostr, it's possible to say just about anything one desires.

You can only get that on protocols, not platforms.

Twitter is NOT a farrrrrr left propaganda machine anymore.

X is more right-wing now.

That's not necessarily a good time. I would prefer to see a more politically neutral and centrist platform.

But protocols are better and more positive for some reason.

Bitcoin is free speech.

Protocols are freedom.

When freedom is given to the people, good things happen.

What could be more patriotic than defending freedom?

🙌Times are so good; celebrate good times.

Trump is bad for America because he's unpredictable and ruthlessly self-serving, to a point of extremism.

The best thing I can do is vote for the most qualified person I can.

Leaders lead.

Narcissists self-serve.

I don't like Trump.

But also, he's treated extremely harshly which isn't the same as making progress.

Progress involves doing something other than complaining and whining and bitching all day long.

Do something about it.

Don't just sit there and judge.

Judgment points back at you.

Action is the key to a healthy democracy.

Actually beneficial things for America like reducing poverty and providing the tools for a successful and prosperous nation.

Complaining is just bad optics.

That's not activism and it's not bringing about progress.

Trump has no humility or grace.

He is bombastic and a bumbling buffoon.

Trump's personality shouldn't matter.

But the personality dictates how bad his policies are.

He has no plans for America. No vision for America. Just marketing and self-aggrandizement the way he would run his business.

As much as I can't stand Trump's personality, I feel there's not a whole lot I can do other than vote and speak out.

Trump is not the image America wants to display.

Business doesn't translate into running a country.

This isn't COMPETITION like a business, this is COOPERATION like helping people all over America. Not just yourself.

I enjoy speaking my mind.

Bitcoin is a great thing.

Unfortunately, it is NOT private.

Hopefully, 2024 will be a good year.

I don't need to stress myself out with the Trump news blasting 24/7.

Trump is stressful.

He's like a bull in a china shop.

He just has no delicacy or refinement.

He is crass, rude, ruthless, and arrogant.

Times are good now.

Going to AMIGOs is good for my mental health.

I believe strongly in defending free expression, even speech I disagree with.

Censorship is the start of conformity.

Conformity is the start of Stupid Ignorance.

Censorship leads us to be "dumb and silent like sheep to the slaughter"

The way you deal with speech you don't like is with more speech, not less.

Speech is the start of action which motivates change.

We need more speech not less.
