Just had an amazing interaction with a based (and clearly autistic) bag boy at the grocery store.

As he's bagging away at record speed he says " CORPORATE REQUIRES ME TO GIVE THIS FLYER TO YOU BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY ABLE TO FORCE ME TO PUT IT INTO YOUR BAG AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT."

Then he holds up this "get your free flu shot!!!" flyer and I'm like "appreciate it man, you clearly read the fine print" and he responds "NO I DID NOT READ THE FINE PRINT BUT I THINK IT IS MORALLY WRONG THAT THEY ASK US TO SNEAK THESE INTO YOUR GROCERY BAGS. WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT."

So I'm like "good looking out man, definitely don't need the flyer."

And he's like "GOOD. THEY CANNOT MAKE ME PUT IT IN YOUR GROCERY BAG."

And I'm like "appreciate you fighting the good fight."

And he's like "YES."

And by this time he's finished bagging everything because he's fast as fuck, and then out of nowhere he's like "AT LEAST THIS LATEST BATCH OF FLYERS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE DOGSHIT."

And the cashier is like "you probably shouldn't say that in a grocery store dude."

And he's like "BUT THEY DID SMELL LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE INK THAT THEY USED."

Anyway, just wanted to share this story because it's a great reminder that YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLY WITH BULLSHIT, NO MATTER HOW SEEMINGLY SMALL, AND HAVING A TOUCH OF THE 'TISM CAN OFTEN HELP YOU SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT.

Nothing scientific and ignoring bot behavior, my experience has been that there’s currently far more thoughtfulness and intelligence on Nostr than on Twitter. At least for me, thus far. Of course, your own mileage may vary.

Anyway, keep on Nostrs ✌️

Lots of new nostriches here today! Welcome! As long as I can afford it, 500 starter sats for everyone replying to this note.

Make sure you're zap-able!

I'll hit everyone while my wallet holds out.

And.. Go!

I was told by an acquaintance that my ultra sensitivity to noise can be a signal I am autistic. I can’t believe that common sense is being labeled as autism. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you enjoy loud bad music and people yelling near you,what kind of syndrome do you have? 😒

Hey, new Nostriches, you definitely shouldn't follow me.

I'm not famous or rich, I don't have any snazzy professional titles or fancy job, I'm really bitchy and annoying, and half of Nostr has me muted.

It’s been a difficult few days I’m not going to lie.

My colleagues want Telegram completely shut down in every country due to online child safety concerns such as CSAM. It’s been a little bit difficult for me to constantly be the one who risks my career to say that survivors also deserve digital privacy rights and strong encryption as well as every human on planet earth.

Telegram can be removed but as a society and as survivor advocates we won’t have addressed the root causes of the abuse and so the problem will continue, unfortunately.

The precious time that is being spent attacking Telegram would have been better spent educating the youth and parents about online safety. This would have worked towards preventing these crimes before they happen and end up online in the first place. 💔

I've heard some folks with large X followings claim nostr isn't worth their time because adoption is low and not growing fast enough for their liking.

Seems shortsighted to me. I consider investing in social media to be similar to financial investing - it's about time in the market rather than timing the market. Much like how most of Bitcoin's annual gains occur during 10 days of the year, I experienced a similar phenomenon on Twitter.

Choose to be a laggard nostrich to your own detriment.

Nostr is our global economic memory

If you show up late you'll have your work cut out for you.

Invest early, reap rewards later.

Allergies so bad this morning I'm thinking of burning entire house to the ground, moving into the mountains and validating the entire blockchain

You have to prepare them though. Bubble boys are no good and trouble will come to them anyway.

We have no saying on that matter. We can just hope and pray.
