I've only ever been late for a job interview once and it was due to genuinely unpredictable circumstances. I judged there was no way my interviewer would believe why I was going to be late and I'm not a very good liar. So I rang and apologised for canceling the interview. I told the interviewer, even if you allow me time now, there's no way I make up this lost ground, so let's call it quits. The interviewer was annoyed but I still think it was the right call. No way I'd have got the job.

This is one of the reasons I'd like #nostr to take off. Other so called #FreeSpeech platforms are lot weaker when it comes to copyright trolls. At least theoretically, nostr should be far more resistant to the #us #legal system and #copyright extortionists. What do other #nostritches think. https://metro.co.uk/2024/11/18/square-enix-accused-abusing-copyright-law-silence-fan-criticism-22018233/

I want to ask #asknostr if others feel the same here? One of the main reasons I'd really like #nostr to take off is this. I feel more comfortable disagreeing with people here than I do on #bluesky or #threads. As someone who feels dead centre politically, I sense a slight right wing bias here, but I also sense a real tolerance of other views. I really like that.

One of the reasons I will never be a #bitcoin maximalist I've never been a moral puritan and I'll never be a financial puritan either. There's no example I've ever seen where there was only one solution to a problem. That's almost my golden rule and as much as I value #btc I value choice more.

I'm custious to #asknostr what other crypto do you think will succeed? I've noticed most #nostritches are #Bitcoin only, but there some alternatives that seem to have real utility. #filecoin hasn't really paid off but I'm not sure why. The idea of earning for shared storage seems really sound. And the idea of #nexo always appealed to me too. So far it's never really worked for me but I feel like it ought to. I'm also keen on #privacy #coins like #Monero. That seems like a real world use case to me too. Maybe I'm just too much of an optimist?
