In the late 90’s early aughts, claiming 3 and they still took 23% of my check.

The part that bothers me, if I take out a loan, I have to pay interest on that loan, so why shouldn’t the government, since that’s essentially what your taxes are? They use what they need and give you back what they don’t. Ok, well, add a year of interest to that and we can talk.

Admittedly I slept through history class(along with pretty much every other class😅), but I was not aware that there was a law that said negros were to be subjugated. I just always assumed that southern folks, similar to nazis, thought they were the master race and anyone who wasn’t white, was free to be enslaved.

You can tell immediately that someone is using Damus if they respond with a hang loose emoji, since that’s their default. #nostr

lol, yeah that was pretty sweet. I’ve been trying to get into soccer(what Americans call it, no clue why) as professional sports of every other type are of no interest to me anymore. Too political and not enough love for the game. The only thing they love, is their paycheck.

Something different but pleasant. nostr:note1v7qej4xa29xj6uavmdqcm4dqqvc9lqzzcknhhpnjq87877tam8qq5frmk5

Not bad, but I wouldn’t call it rock, lol. I get heavy folk vibes from it. Would be great to listen to after smoking a phatty. 😅

Pretty much anything. There, I shortened it for you. 😂

I get that, but since your information isn’t kept on any one server, how would somebody boot you from here?

This is the main reason I am here, for the freedom of speech that it offers without fear of reprisal. Bitcoin is just an extra.

It’s far from being dead but will take quite some time to get people that use apps like Bluesky, to join. Not just because it’s a different vibe, but because Nostr isn’t as user friendly for non tech types, so Nostr can seem intimidating.

We need to try and get the fediverse users to join, that’s who I would like to see here. Also, the developers so they quit wasting time on a platform that is unsustainable and is really no different than any other social media outlet:

Nostr is one of a kind and will take time to get people on board, but it will happen.

If you’re being influenced by someone on twitter or any other social media platform, you’re already a moron and deserve whatever you get. 😂

When I was growing up, astronauts, Olympic medal winners, Nobel laureates and pretty much anyone who made it to the cover of the wheaties box, were considered influential. These days, acting like an idiot on TikTok is all you have to do to be considered influential. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, how does one LARP on twitter? 🤔

That was kind of the point, I would probably lose nine years if I went to a Metallica/ Godsmack concert that often. Not to mention loss of hearing. 🤣

Well said. So much that I am willing to forgive you for using a Pixel. 😝

God, it would be nice if people didn’t focus on such trivialities. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you feel like having 1,000 followers makes you any more relevant than someone with half of that?

Not this kind of concert, maybe Simon and Garfunkel. 😂

Yup. The fediverse was well intentioned but it also suffers from the same censorship as the bigger platforms.

If you choose to purchase an iPhone, you’re not being “locked in” by anyone but yourself. I don’t understand why people can’t grasp that.

It’s also only the “walled garden” when you’re on the outside looking in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For the record, there isn’t one iOS Nostr app that fully functions either.

This joker actually tried suing nirvana for this pic.

If you’re lazy and don’t want to work for a living, just sue someone. 🤦🏻‍♂️

No, lol.

How does one get logged out of a Nostr app? I think it was just coincidence.

300, that’s all?
