Did X happen because this similar thing happened to me once, &amp; X also happened. I remember feeling awful.&#34;<br/><br/>It&#39;s not a hit every time (they might not think my experience is similar), but I get fewer eye twitches from people, so that&#39;s something... 2024-12-21T10:20:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv9s60gv43tw7ktyxwx5wkjnm0523wzyhn292pvs8h6q3a0z0t6nszypa8k5ap20m4jffdauctkval0jgqczhxzn2v8sz66sdxh8mmhxq4q3lcffy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs26q9tauvqjz45zqh9l0umjaf5epdgxzy8ccjjpm2hlzhqhmcnxgq7fzzy6'>nevent1q…zzy6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I never liked sesame street. It always felt like it was talking down to me, when many adults in my life spoke to me like I was a small adult. 2024-11-29T17:23:51Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0atwvwlhe562560gsree054tlnmayu84ak2s7c7wq8a2k5yndahszypa8k5ap20m4jffdauctkval0jgqczhxzn2v8sz66sdxh8mmhxq4qtqrwhv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz7g3cjkcauxuehmqd38df4qa22kytzlfkacul0t5gnszpmpvc7lgc538f6'>nevent1q…38f6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I interview pretty well one-on-one, because I mirror.

There are fewer big names advertising on the boards. Fewer board ads in general.<br/><br/>It all feels a bit muted.<br/><br/>And I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s Covid, the cost of living and general feeling of imminent global crisis, or the extortionate cost of staying and performing. Probably a combination of the lot. 2024-08-05T18:39:34Z
