Last Notes npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 You're welcome! Have you considered trying to go out and talk to people IRL? Most of my socializing is done at church tbh npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Do you have anyone else in your life you can talk to? The world is tough, but being lonely is tougher. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Time-machine levels of nostalgia for TFK npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 It would better to live in a cave than to deal with Spectrum npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Amen npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 It really began for me during #Covid. #Hyperreality. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 My hobby recently has been revisiting a #TTRPG design I've tinkered with over the years. Having taken a break from #writing narrative for some time, and following all of the technology trends, I am more of the opinion that I don't want my #creative energy primarily focused on digital or online things. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Bitcoiners will get a package in the mail and be like "End the Fedex" npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Completely completely agree. Connecting your mind to paper works so much better. You can always digitize your handwritten stuff later. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 This New Year I would like to dedicate myself to posting my creative writing on Nostr. I have been on a tumultuous journey with my creative projects and I hope putting more of myself out there can help bring a chaotic vision into order. The ease of distribution and fewer barriers to compensation makes it the most viable option for me starting from scratch. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If life ever slows down I'd like to check out the #Primal longform article platform more. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I just went back to Amethyst. I like the pop-out into a separate Lightning wallet app more than fiddling with an integrated one. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Nostr Wallet Connect with Wallet of Satoshi... How does this work? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Even though Google is taking down the videos, they already trained the models on Disney's material and will never be punished for this. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've been saying for years that copyright and IP will lose to AI. I have been right every time. IP rewards power, and AI companies are more powerful than media companies with government backing. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Maybe modern art isn't so bad after all? I can't help but shed a tear at this beautiful video 🥲 npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Every resturant is Taco Bell npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 The purpose of a system is what it does npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 There were several things I liked about Farcaster, but the altcoin gambling attitude and lack of incentive for 3rd parties to build on it turned me away. I'm not a dev, but it seems like the protocol they built wasn't very approachable. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I'm not particularly a fan of the new genre of YouTube which is an otherwise real person reading/researching stuff they asked AI about npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Working on getting a promotion in the fiat mines. If I don't, I'm going to coast 1 more year so my retirement account can vest and then cash out while finding a different job. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Did you ever get a Zap for this? I sent you one and it doesn't look like it showed up on Nostr... npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Usually these kinds of posts are terrible, but this one was well-balanced without straying too far into judgement or worthless advice. I never considered the insight of parents always loving their children more than their kids love them. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I think simply requiring a partial payment upfront and then a final payment to recieve the end product could work too npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I didn't know you had gotten into gold recently :P npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 This is how I feel about the Psalms npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 The more I think about it, @nprofile…jsen has a point with the Bits/Bitcoins/Sats argument. The unit bias scares off a lot of vulnerable people who would otherwise most need Bitcoin. It keeps things abstract, distant, and unobtainable. It obfuscates the fractional nature of Bitcoin and its use as money even for the smallest of purchases. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If they cut every scene with Jared Leto the movie would have been much better and shorter (it was too long as is) npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've been so busy lately it's been impossible for me to write and nearly impossible to read. It's been a good kind of busy, but I hope things calm down soon. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 As much fun as NGU is, I find the conversations much more interesting when the number goes down. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've been listening to Bitcoin podcasts for like 8 months now, and this is the single most insightful discussion I've come across so far. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 #Microsoft putting "Ask #Copilot" above "Copy" when you right click in #Outlook has me feeling a certain kind of way npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Email is not fit for purpose anymore. It wasn't designed with this scale in mind, and the patchwork fixes required to make it functional en masse caused it to become centralized. To get into someone's inbox you have to proceed through a matrix of gatekeepers and security checks. Plus, people are exhausted from email slop now anyways. Web of trust, mute lists, and Nostr clients that filter to your preference will be much better. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 (And, if I may be so bold, I do believe I have developed a framework for copyright/intellectual property that works in the digital age) npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 @npub1cn4…3vle talks a lot about a coming age where artists and creative, imaginative people are empowered by functional money and innovation. I'm not convinced that will happen, but it would be nice. In his latest livestream he said he might do a keynote speech on this topic. I would be interested to listen to that. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Ah, so that's a feature of the miners then? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 This reads like something out of The Twilight Zone npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I knew they would turn the screws eventually npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Crunchy 🍂 npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 (at least, I think they were spammers, that's usually why I would mute someone) npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Hey, this is pretty neat. I didn't know private mutes had compatibility problems across clients. I used your tool to make the 4 spammers I have muted public instead. Thanks! npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If you use your own #node for transactions... Do you still pay fees?? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Banger npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've had success with @nprofile…k55v npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Happy name day to me! St. Michael the Archangel, my patron saint, pray for us! npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Nice! I tried setting one up on some old Frankenstein hardware and it always failed to sync... When I get some extra sats I'll buy a dedicated node. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Something that has always bothered me is how quickly art is forgotten. It was a big inspiration for my WIP novel, the fear of forgetting. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 It took me a while to get the hang of this, but I actually really like Nostr. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Amythyst is my favorite way to use Nostr. The app is super stable, not laggy, feature rich, and has a sensible UI. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 With my limited understanding of Primal, I think they make fair tradeoffs for the sake of usability. However, I could never get their verification to work even if I wanted to. It motivated me to find alternatives, but I'm fairly certain Primal onboarded me back in the day. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I do, thanks for the help! npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I'm pretty sure these are made of plastic 😆 npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I used the built-in AI chatbot in an app and it actually answered my question npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If I can get everything setup to sell my books for Bitcoin, I'd like to sell signed copies where I write my name in orange ink 📙✍ npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 The #CreativeCommons has been a tremendous fascination of mine for years. I think within this framework is the perfect balance of private ownership and public service when it comes to #copyright and intellectual property. The existing laws didn't make sense before the internet, and the internet has only further cracked a flawed foundation. Sam Altman and his "Open" AI have finally shattered what little credibility was left in the existing legal system around plagiarism. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 They are such a product of the modern mind and of Americanism, if either of those two things pass away then most of the stories told won't make much sense to future people. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 The devil entered the man who controlled the money box npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I think within 1 generation most Hollywood movies will be completely incomprehensible to most people. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I'm boosting this to check it out later. The book, and the Nostr distribution method to study. It gives me publishing inspiration. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I have not been writing or reading much lately because I am in love. I never realized how much time being in love takes, and I'm very okay with it. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Dang, I missed it. I just followed them though. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Okay okay okay I finally set up a Nostr key browser extension. No more blindly plugging my Nsec in random places. I didn't care as much before I started using Nostr more, plus the Alby extension didn't work well for me. I'm using nos2x now and it seems pretty smooth. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've never found a clear answer as to what fringe edge-case Core 30 fixes by greatly increasing the OP_RETURN filter. Of course, you can't stop people from embedding data on chain. However, I don't think the answer is to make it much much easier to do so (unless there is an explanation that has escaped me). npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 At this point I don't really like Core or Knots. I don't want excessive arbitrary data on chain, but I also don't like the doomsday alarmists who think they're gametheory experts at outsmarting states/corpos (who are already buying in to Bitcoin). npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Embrace, extend, extinguish npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Well, the bankers are also old too. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I was dismissive of the issue of "The Tragedy of the Commons," but it is a real issue. I haven't spoken on this much yet on Nostr, but one of my primary interests is the realm of #copyright and intellectual property in the digital age. After years of study in creative fields and observations in software licensing, I believe I have struck a balance that works for the internet. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Good idea! Thanks for the explanation. You have a great app that has helped me make sense of Lightning. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've already hit the 10 transactions zapping some folks back and forth. Thanks for the insight! You seem especially savvy and not senile at all 😁 npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Ohhhhhhhh. So I can lightning myself 100k to my Satoshi wallet, then I can mainchain it back to myself? That's freaking weird. I guess I'm still figuring out this lightning stuff. I'm not sure if this is an idiosyncrasy of Lightning or just how Wallet of Satoshi does verification for their domain service or something. Huh. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If I transfer the 100,000 sats needed to unlock a custom address on @nprofile…k55v, do I have to keep that liquidity in the wallet? Or is this a one-time thing? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I'd rather be senile than a shill, you have the right approach I think 🤣 npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I thought the smoking age was increased to 21 in the US recently? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If you sort by most zapped posts, won't that incentivize people to zap themselves to boost their own post? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I've heard of that one, do you have a link? Thanks! npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 This is incorrect. Christianity is a non-dualistic religion. Evil is a privation of good and has no substance in and of itself. Evil is a movement away from the goodness of God. To say that good can't exist without evil is incorrect. If this were correct it would make God the author of evil. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 White Stripes worldwide. Excellent choice in music. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Something anyone who does technical writing can learn from AI is the importance of formatting text in a clear and readable way. Text formatting is something that has always fascinated me, especially in creative writing. Obviously AI doesn't do it very creatively (AI does it pragmatically), but it's worth drawing attention to an art that is often overlooked. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Tempted to check out #Shakespeare and #vibecode a native #Linux NOSTR client for myself. How worried should I be about doxing my NSEC? I should probably not be lazy and use a burner account... npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Late night Bitcoin confession: I almost fell for a "send me some BTC and I'll double it" scam earlier this year. I was one click away before I double checked and came to my senses. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If you don't believe magic is real you will never understand our financial system npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I tend to lean toward the idea that Bitcoin was created by the NSA. I also don't think Satoshi's coins will remain dormant forever. However, you are right to say this doesn't compromise the open/verifiable nature of the network protocol. It is also very bullish whether you think this is a good thing or not. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Just read an article about the new #JPMorgan building in #NYC. It's really sad when you compare the #USA to #Europe because in Europe, the #church or cathedral is often the center of the city. It's the most expensive and valuable place. It is the symbolic center of everyday life. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 The winning line of today's MSN slop: npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 It took me a while to figure out #Zaps and #Lightning to get comfortable with them. But man, this is seriously the coolest thing. It's what I've wanted for online payments and creative compensation for years. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Hmm, from my experience people have not been slow to voice complaints about how much the meals at fundraisers cost, or other such things. The mode of giving has never come up though. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I pass the collection basket around at my Church. I've done it for years. I was on our parish ministry council for years. I've never heard of one person complain about feeling bad they were unable to give at that time. I've never heard of one person feel left out for this reason. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Thanks! I'll check that out. It doesn't look like there's a native Linux client, but the browser version is actually fast. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Is there a decent NOSTR app for #Linux desktop? Amethyst is great on #Android but all of the browser clients I have tried on my laptop are laggy. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 A little angel in my parish service booklet this week https://nostr.download/0d10551b470215b14590b12712ea2ae1a87c64fdc857be750aaf82abf506f37a.jpg npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Nope. It's a totally dumb electric car. It doesn't even have a screen in it besides a backup camera. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 This one has me interested: https://www.slate.auto/en npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I... I think I set up my @nprofile…2rnf correctly? I zapped my first zap to @nprofile…yr6e because he's my news junkie fix atm. Amythest makes it easy to send so hopefully I can also recieve! npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 I find the trend of taking quotes from novels and then ascribing the quote to the author odd. Usually it's a quote from another character within the story that is then attributed to the author as if it is the author's personal opinion. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Take a ride with me on the Freudian Slip N' Slide 🎢 npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 If you're writing a story and it's supposed to be from a specific character's voice, what is your approach? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Writers writing a story about a writer who writes. Artists drawing a scene of an artist who draws. What is this genre? npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Many "influencers" and "creators" are simply professional consumers. It is their job to put on a show for things made by other people. This is also why they're so quick to criticize because they have no idea how hard making something really is. npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 Being eccentric is so much fun, everyone should try it npub1sfzay2rlm2t3ulekq5f2kyd4ck5kht6u9rxulax6dwe505n6zjqsllpl9u Michael of St. Joseph 🔏 In America, if you can't be smart, just be loud. We cannot tell the difference 🗣
