"How do you feel about helping stave off starvation for/in at least one individual in a country with a religiously oppressive government, no means of income and no access to outside aid?" That is the question I asked my sponsor a few days ago. Thus began a lot of correspondence back and forth to determine how much crypto to send to my Iranian contact (whom only accepts XNO), which I would need to exchange from BCH (since the ATM my sponsor uses can't send XNO). According to…
In today's post, I look at Wanchain, Blockchain/Web3 domain names and how to get one with Wanchain, Moonriver and Fusion Domains: https://www.publish0x.com/cryptographic-viking/what-is-wanchain-what-are-blockchainweb3-domains-and-how-do-xzgowkg
Drone strike by computer (simulated or otherwise)? It didn't happen, according to the US Air Force: https://www.publish0x.com/hunting-of-the-snark/usaf-runs-ai-drone-simultation-that-kills-operative-then-den-xozvzor Whom do you trust, though?
Now that I have published my daily post on Pub0x, I can't decide if I want to spend the rest of my day tackling job-hunting and clearing my inbox or focus on learning skills that will help me find and secure employment. Maybe I will be able to do both, but I have to pick one and stick with it. Argh, this indecision is wasting time that is in short supply! Idly surfing the Internet sure isn't helping. What to do, what to do?…
I ate too much fish today, but I needed to finish the pilchards before they went bad. I'm likely going to be burping fish all night. It seems that the dog is not the only one with bad fish breath ... Ah, the fun I have!
Life is exhausting. It's just one long hustle to get who knows where, exactly? Then it all goes to shit and you wonder why you (and the generations that came before you) bothered. In unrelated news, my coffee cup smells like fish (although my coffee tastes fine)! This is not an optimal start to the week. Maybe today I'll find a job and make a big dent in clearing my email inbox. Who knows?
"You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do." Despite the fact that I strictly avoid taking drugs of any kind (prescription or otherwise) if I can help it, I am inclined to agree with Bill Hicks on that, at least today. That's because they have indirectly helped me to earn some Nano (XNO). https://www.publish0x.com/cryptographic-viking/i-think-drugs-have-done-some-good-things-for-us-i-really-do-xyenqww?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise
Today in "You Could Make a Religion out of that": Cryptocurrency Good morning, Sir. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Satoshi Nakamoto? LoL! Maybe we should do that, seeing as Nakamoto is a semi-legengary/mythic persona with mysterious aspects. Besides, some maximalists can get quite zealous. Welcome to the Church of Crypto. It has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?
With Apple products, "refurbished" means they cleaned all the drool, jizz, pr0n and vegan food off it when the novelty wore off and someone returned it out of Buyer's Remorse, possibly having discovered that GNU/Linux is free. I think those are the people whom brag about using Arch ...
Does LOST (the series) still suck? Someone told me that it sucks, so I never watched it. It's got Evangeline Lily and other eye candy, a few guys from Hawaii 5.0 and a Hobbit in it, so how bad can it be, really?
Why is there always at least one small dog or cat in the "Click on something you can eat" CAPTCHAs? Am I supposed to click/select it, because technically I could ... It is a concern I have, given that I work with dogs on weekends. Part of that includes ensuring that the small ones don't escape and run into kennels where they'll get chomped by bigger ones when it's feeding time. As for the resident cat (the bane of the manager's life, for which I appreciate it), it thinks…
I'm not sure whom sent me some BCH today (I didn't look at the transaction) and if it was someone from here on Noise or elsewhere. Whomever that person is, thank you; I appreciate receiving a little unexpected crypto. External validation for my efforts to both entertain and inform are always a plus.
Eating of sloths and fruit bats is one thing, but eating of sloths and fruit bats whilst in bed is where I draw the line, on crackers or not. I think that's fair enough, since eating meat in bed is probably not a good idea, particularly if you spill some on your sheets or other bedding. https://www.publish0x.com/hunting-of-the-snark/eating-of-the-sloths-and-orangutangs-and-fruit-bats-xzgorvk?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise
Since Deviant Art no longer caters to deviants, Vixxi is sadly no more, I'm having trouble selling NFTs on OpenSea and SolSea, my Weasyl account probably still hasn't been activated despite creating it about a month ago and I can't remember the name of the other Website at which I looked (which might be defunct, anyway, even though it's Web3 IIRC)... I wonder if it's time to go back to trying to promote my artwork on Patreon in the hope people subscribe. That might be worth…
A friend of mine sends me motivational quotes almost every day, to keep me inspired and positive until my situation is better (and also to remind me that there are still people whom care about me). One of the more recent ones stated this: "There are some things in life that money just can't buy, like integrity, manners, morals and the love of certain beautiful dark-haired women in short skirts, long jackets and tall boots." OK, wait a minute, maybe not the last one, then ...…
I have now made my rants about Deviant Art (and struggling to find the right marketplace to sell my art) into a number of posts, which seem to be moderately popular. https://www.publish0x.com/hunting-of-the-snark/just-how-pathetically-pious-if-not-intolerant-and-totalitari-xjrnqqk?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise https://www.publish0x.com/cryptographic-viking/there-are-some-things-that-money-just-cant-buy-for-everythin-xqexyje?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise Happy Fishnet…
There are few things in life as sexy (if admittedly a bit weird) as a woman with more than two boobs. Forget the three-breasted prostitute from Total Recall; AI quite often gives me deepfakes with extra breasts, arms, hands, heads, legs, feet or torsos (sometimes all at once). It also gives new meaning to calling someone a "dickhead". Move over, Sharktopus! I don't mind a little extra lady flesh, most of the time, but some of it just shall not pass.
Remember, folks: Only lock up and confine women whom explicitly consent beforehand! Otherwise, bad things will happen to you (like getting hit with a sledgehammer by an undercover police officer)! That's the moral of the story that I get from the film Banshee.
"Schiesse; I cannot get sie farkin' trees! I will kill everyone in the world!" — Adolf Hitler (a mass-murdering Nazi shithead and vegetarian painter) on failing to create a painting of trees, acording to Eddie Izzard Translated to German, that becomes the following: "Scheisse; Ich kann die verdammten Bäume nicht bekommen! Ich werde jeden auf der Welt töten!"…
My landlords have just asked me to let them know how much money I'll have at the end of the month and if I'll be able to pay my rent. It's not even half-way through the month; how am I supposed to know how much I'll have brought in by then (including if I'll be able to move and exchange the ETH and ERC-20s I earn from Pub0x without paying high gas fees). Bloody hell, a little premature/over-eager, what?! It looks like I might have to redouble my efforts and work through a…
I have an hypotheses that there is a school somewhere that only trains beautiful women to play string instruments. Do you ever see ugly women in an orchestra? I certainly don't!
Two dog hairs and a beard hair in my breakfast this morning: Today is off to a good start! Seriously, though, it is. I managed to make 0.03 XNO before I even got out of bed this morning, all for doing nothing more installing two bible verse apps that I promptly uninstalled once I got payed out. That's twice what I get from CVn on a good day.
Almost nobody of whom I know uses other people's shortlinks, all while fully expecting others to use theirs (myself included); they can't be trusted to go where the person providing them claims that they do. That's why almost nobody uses invite/referral links when creating an account on a Website (unless the only way to gain access is strictly by invitation/referral only, mainly to keep the scammers and spammers out). Sadly, the reason being is that scammers (and their bots)…
Today in "Engrish on the Web": "Only Jason can stop it is his foot. On Meg 2 Jason Statman [sic] stops the big fish a gin it his foot. They are given fobias to big fishes!" Je ne comprends pas. Much Engrish, such confuse! 😋🤔 Fook, but that's going to amuse me for hours! You know of the famous British actor Jason Statman, right? He often portrays thugs and gangbangers. Update: "God thnig! Good thigh?! Good night!"
Tonight, I said I ate curried vag (instead of curried veg) for supper. A little spicy Asian c*nt, anyone? Hmm, well, I wish! Wouldn't that have been great? One letter, one mispronunciation, made a big difference ... I need to get and take my expensive prescription jugs, just like Sleepy Joe (not to be confused with Sleepy Jey). True Internash-sufferdepressure! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhKtfEhV5F0
You may now proceed to watch the podcast/vlog video of this on Youtube or, if you prefer, continue reading for the script I used (on which it's based, with ad-lib alterations during the course of recording) to create it. (Hopefully, reading this will take you less time than listening to me ramble on, with awkward pauses, as I try not to look away from my camera for too long.) Given that it's my first attempt at VTubing, I'm rather pleased at how it turned out, including the…
"And The Snark said unto the Deutsch Dummkopf, 'Verily, cast thine eyes upon the field in which I grow my fucks', and the Deutsch Dummkopf gave witness unto the field, and saw that it was barren." — Book of Snark https://www.publish0x.com/hunting-of-the-snark/tonight-in-why-you-dont-pick-a-fight-with-a-honey-badger-and-xddelgg?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise
I always have to just laugh at communities and groups that don't allow swearing, then ban me when I express myself accurately and freely, because their delicate lilly-white sensibilities get offended. Today, it's TipNano, but tomorrow, whom the fuck knows? Such fragile special petal snowflakes, the lot of them (except SatoshiFailed, whom I like because I think that mod might be just as much of a dick as I am, but I could be wrong)! Fuck 'em, since they clearly need someone…
Someone comes along and yells "bitch", a rebel, a CVn Visionary! Vision is scary, so just let me revel and bask in the fact that I've got people tipping my arse (and it's a disaster, such a catastrophe, for me to hand you so much of your damn arse, you see)! A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me? Now, this looks like a job for me, so everybody just tip and follow me, because we need a little controversy and TipNano chat will be so empty without me!
I could do with some Hinder: "I make the good girls bad and bad girls worse! I'm a red-blooded sucker for how it feels to turn the girl next door into hell on heels. I've got everything that you want, but nothing that you need! I'm all Americans' nightmare!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx5PcB1t-s8 LoL. Hello, women of Noise! 😉 Do you like what you see? I must confess that photo's about three years old and I've let myself go a bit, but I can probably get back to that fine…
I've signed up to fountain.fm (again) to give a second chance to earning sats (on the Lightning Network) from listening to podcasts and creating clips/soundbites therefrom. That includes a podcast about how to create, manage and publish a podcast, coincidentally. (I've still not figured out how to register/upload content, though. Apparently, I need to use something called OPML, import it into Fountain and then claim it. I'll have to look into that.) Unfortunately, Fountain…
Today in bad adverts for fake apps: "Casino Slits: Get real Moony!" The only slits in that game are in the buxom manga characters' low-cut and high-slit dresses, IMO.
Pro tip for the sartorially challenged: Don't wear clothes the same colour as your skin, unless you deliberately want to look like you're naked and lumpy in public. This PSA brought to you by the idiocy of a white doofus spectator in beige shorts at a Pride rally.
I worked out earlier today that I know, to varying degrees, at least seven languages (or parts thereof). In order of fluency: 1. English (mother tongue) 2. Afrikaans (understand most of it if spoken to, can read and write it, can't speak it.) 3. Spanish (not as well as I used to, mostly reading it) 4. French (a few sentences) 5. German (a few sentences) 6. isiZulu (a few sentences and phrases; auditory/verbal only) 7. Japanese (mostly phrases; auditory/verbal only)

I have the house to myself until Sunday afternoon, which gives me time to record without being interrupted. If anyone would like to hear me reading anything for/on my vlog (my own writings or something from the classics), now is your chance to make a request. otherwise, I'm just going to pick something and go with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aUnGYnGCA8 https://publish0x.com/@great-white-snark
Urgh! I've just tried to record something with the mic that's built into my wireless headphones, only three times now, but no dice! It's so frustrating and I'm tired now! I've got to rest my voice and will try again tomorrow.
I've started watching Lucifer on Netflix. One of the things that it brings to mind is that, if a party's going to end well, there should be no dead hookers in the pool.
Possibly the most exciting thing that's happened to me this weekend, depending on perspective, is that at work this morning I took a Rottweiler skull to the face and had a nosebleed that lasted all of two minutes, if that. Otherwise, I'm being driven insane by an old bitch that sits and squeaks pitifully and nearly incessantly for no apparent reason. The only ways to get her to stop are to feed her or give her a tranquiliser pill.
IDK for how many days I've been using Fountain.fm, but I still haven't earned a single SAT.
First World folks (particularly those in the USA) want to take everything from everyone else, including the attention that needs to be cast on Third World poverty because they're apparently not getting enough of it for being "poor" in the First World. FMS, but how arrogant and desperate are you that you have to masquerade as being so hard up when you know nothing about it?! I'm sick of white Americans bragging about how they do everything better than everyone else.…

I'm supposed to be doing constructive and useful stuff today, but my brain/concentration/memory is so scrambled that I haven't got a cooking clue what that is.
TIL: behaviour and personality seems to change most between the ages of 20 (or younger) and 40 years old (midlife crisis time?), according to a study by Brent W. Roberts (University of Illinois, Urbana) and Daniel Mroczek (Purdue). Well, that's good news for me, then; I've still got five years to deal with my issues if I want to put in the effort. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2743415/ It also looks like PDF Drive has been nuked; I can no longer download…
Today in questions I ask while completing CAPTCHAs: Can you drink pandas?
There are many things I don't like. One of them is content that contains spoilers, without spoiler warnings. We all know John dies in the end, but it's always a bummer to find how and when before I've got to that point in the story I'm enjoying watch unfold.
Ooh, BCH is booming again! I just did a quick trade and got more than for which I bargained. I might be able to afford paying my rent, after all! 😁
Every time I exercise and play with the two little Pom boys that are up for adoption, I am reminded of how much I want to bring them home with me. Until I have a means to support myself and a home of my own, that's not going to be possible. It breaks my heart a little to have to leave them behind every weekend.
I honestly don't know why, after all the years of experience and time to learn that I've had, I keep thinking that asking for help and people offering it to me means that I'm actually going to get it. it doesn't. I'd think that I'd have learned by now that that's not the case, but no, I keep wasting my time and ending up disappointed. If I want something done, I have to do it myself. If I can't do it or bring myself to, it isn't going to happen. Either that or I have to pay…
I would like to be able to earn crypto from surveys without having to provide personally-identifying information, such as my real name and a copy of my ID. Apparently, beyond a certain point/threshold, that's too much to ask. SMDH 🙄😒
Do you suspect that new crypto-earning app/game you've just started playing/using might be a scam?

I feel like the adverts for the Homescapes games, with their depiction of a poor and unkempt woman in patchwork clothes holding up a jar to receive some money or food, a look of resigned desperation on her face, is an exaggerated caricature of my situation (and that of many). I do not doubt that people will play the game to rescue her from her ongoing plight, but they won't think far enough to actually donate crypto/fiat to help those in need. If you are one of the fortunate…
I do wish that actually reading facts and research was sufficient change people's minds about their outdated beliefs, but confirmation bias is a thing. "Depression and other mental illness is caused by a chemical imbalance" is an outdated hypothesis/viewpoint that has little to no supporting evidence. Move with the times, folks, and stop blindly paying heed to the cult of Big Pharma long enough to actually read something before parroting old doctrines, alright?…
Do you write long-form posts on Pub0x and/or the now-defunct read.cash? Are you frustrated by not earning on Medium, Mirror or Vocal and/or looking for an additional (perhaps #2) Web3.0 site for your content? Perhaps BULB App (which operates on the Solana Blockchain) might be right for you. https://www.publish0x.com/cryptographic-viking/what-is-bulb-app-and-why-should-you-care-xozxgox?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise
I really don't know why I go out of my way to be kind to and help other people, particularly if they've helped me and have a problem that I might be able to solve. It almost always gets thrown back in my face. In this modern world, kindness is seen as a weakness, even post-COVID when people are suffering and could probably do with some.
Am I the only one whom thinks so, or are a lot of things in life improved by the addition of boobs or leather (or both; both can be good)? Anyway, I finally got my Proton, Telos and WAX wallets set up with Anchor. Now, all I have to do is earn serious amounts of crypto, convert that to Telos or WAX and mint my digital artwork as NFTs. I'm opting for Telos, since it's still possible to create a non-custodial account for free.
There comes a point where, no matter how much I like someone's content, I have to stop following them because they spam my feed and drown out other people's content. It's particularly annoying when I fall behind on my daily reading. Just because you somehow managed to get permission to post four or five times as much as other users (two posts per day; I got five and seldom use them) doesn't mean you should abuse it; it's not likely to earn you more on a site where readers…
People can be really f**king useless a lot of the time! Does nobody understand what a request for comments (RFC) is, or is what I posted as befuddling to those that read and tipped it (but left no comments) as it is/was to me? Does it communicate anything meaningful to anybody or is it just a lot of word salad masquerading as a notification of intent to do something?…
Today in stupid conspiracies: Russia didn't invade the Ukraine; their troops just did house swaps.
