Hobbies have shifted away from video games towards politics, current events, Twitter and NFTs/cryptocurrency. I spend a lot of personal time in front of this damn lap top, scrolling through Twitter, chatting in discord with NFT communities, checking prices of different projects I'm in and what current trends are and browsing the web researching various subjects. I brew my own kombucha and grow my own cubes for daily microdoses. I eat the same meals for lunch and dinner and don't deviate from my diet very often.
TOOL.
I like mushrooms, cannabis, coffee and nicotine, not in that order.
As of lately, I started taking supplements and am interested in maintaining good health, for my self, my small dog, my parents and their pets. I learned a bit about how important vitamin D is and that alone has improved my health and wellbeing, extending on to my parents too as I have encouraged them to take supplements as well.
My breath is important to me and I pay as much attention to it as I can. After learning how to breathe properly, I've noticed my anxiety levels and my ability to navigate adversity have improved drastically.
I suppose I'll reserve some for questions.
Ask away!

Quote: lowbrow said: You know how to make an NFT? I've been trying to get into them.
Yeah, it's pretty easy. Quickest way is probably using Opensea. Connect a wallet and create an account and there are steps to follow to upload a file to create an NFT. A guy I work with made one doing this. Requires a gas fee of a couple bucks.

I only buy/sell/collect them though, I haven't made any of my own NFTs yet. I've had ideas for projects but nothing has come to fruition.

Three times. First show was the Lateralus tour in Moline, Michigan. We, as a group of about 8 people, got in early and had a good spot not 20 feet from the stage! Second show was the 10,000 Days tour in Southaven, Ms.. Decent seats, maybe 10 rows up on the first level with a good stage view from the side, went with a girl I was dating. And I got to see them October 2019 in Denver on night one of their 2 night extended visit here before shit hit the fan. Nose bleed seat, went solo!

I enjoyed the Fear Inoculum tour as they're much older now and are more polished and mature. At the end of the show, the band came together nice and peacefully to shake hands and bow.
Also, the fact I went solo, I didn't have to concern my self with anyone else. Similar to tripping, I prefer solo. If I had gone with someone, my attention would have to be partitioned out to that person and the show. Solo, it was 100% for me.

Oh, the Thunder Dome is calling my name right about now.
I really hope it's going to be like Twitter after Elon has taken over.
I am no longer afraid to post my mind on Twitter without fears of being censored or flagged for misinformation.
I can have actual conversations without having to dance around algorithms to avoid using naughty words.
Tell me, will I be banned from this Thunder Dome for speaking my mind?
Or will I be told I have to play nice and not be able to fully express my thoughts and opinions on what I've been perceiving.

There's a paradigm shift happening.
IYKYK.
Side note. Got a raise at work last week. Off salary and back on to a clock @$24/hr. Been 3 years since I've seen a raise. Inflation has been brutal.
FJB!!!

It rings a tiny bell. I'm going to go ahead and say no, though.

twitters actually still fucked. People are still being wrongfully suspended
What for?
I saw KG got banned for impersonating Elon. He tweeted that anyone impersonating someone will be permabanned. I saw the guy from H3H3 podcast, Ethan Klein(?) I think is his name, same. Banned for changing his handle to Elon Musk.
Similar to how puppets get banned? Or, would impersonation be allowed here? Data?
I've said some things that would have been flagged prior to Elon take over. Nothing hateful, just information that is seen as misinformation to the masses.
Research is a blast!

Being in the NFT space for almost a year now, I've seen a lot of scammers changing their twitter handles to match prominent figures within the space. They change a single letter in their @ handle to a similar looking letter/number or add an extra symbol or misspelling in some way.
An example would be changing the O in Elon to a 0, El0n. Yes, it's obvious to most people who pay attention to those sorts of things, but it does happen and people have been scammed out of money/crypto/NFTs falling prey to imposters.
I'm not sure if I'm able to pay the $8 for a blue check as I've been in time out a couple times within the past 12 months.
I see Catturd got one!

Yes there is such a thing as an approved puppet, and it usually involves contacting and gaining approval with an admin.
Again, it feels like Twitter used to have some way of dealing with these scam accounts that is now short-circuited by an $8 monthly subscription.
Imagine if we started accepting money for the Trusted Cultivator tag, you'd have such a hard time figuring out which users are giving crappy info vs those who have proven themselves to be effective cultivators and offer up solid answers to cultivation questions.
The notion sounds pretty silly to me, but then again I don't spend much time on Twitter
So, it's a hierarchy.
I'm not surprised.
More power to ya!
Elon giving everyone a chance with $8. I heard they were going for over $15k for a Blue Check, some well known people have tried and never have gotten one. For whatever reason.
I for one am thrilled to be able to talk freely on Twitter.
Another one towards the Thunder Dome! There any action in there?

Still going strong! Elon is active daily, it's nice to see.
Thunderdomw 2023, here I come!

I enjoy being on Twitter, there's lots of people feeling more free than ever to speak their minds and share their stories.
Elon's doing a great job and interacting with many people. Happy to see some of the fat trimmed out of their office. Did you all see some of the videos of people walking through twitter HQ? Unreal.
Any who, I'm down in the trenches, as always, digging for gold!

There's lots of information!
More and more being revealed each day!

The internet is a big place, some things I see in dark corners wouldn't be said so proudly on open platforms.
I know this isn't an open platform, that's why I hold my tongue until that THUNDERDOME!!!
LET'S GO THUNDERDOME!!!
I'm gonna get that place poppin' off, just you wait and see!
Is there anyone in there? Just nod if you can hear me!

Quote: Data said: This place is more dead than usual, maybe a couple of posts a week across the whole forum, none in the Dome aside from the ban lottery.
You'll pretty much be talking to yourself in there.
Huh, couple post a week, sounds like we're all talking to ourselves!
That's OK, at least I won't have to self censor and can post without fears of being banned.
I'm really liking Twitter now that Elon has fully taken over. There's so much relevant information being shared, I'm sorta glad I was banned from that cesspool, it wasn't good for my health walking on egg shells on a daily basis.
Feels good. Or maybe that's just from supplementing vitamin D?
Happy New Years, BTW! I'm stoked for 2023! Already heating up to be a good year.

Alright, I'm making a big push tonight and entering into The Thunderdome! A cherry bomb has been dropped and I'm about to throw it into The Thunderdome and see who all's around to wake up. 40 more post to go it seems, gonna go on a music marathon and hang out in tune town for a bit. I got a good one to share, it's about corn!

I've seen some interesting zoom videos where theoretically there should be significant drop but there doesn't appear to be any.
Also, that Antarctic treaty is interesting.
