Nostr is where I go to be reminded of how monotonous and unglamorous my life is.

Sitting in comfy pants and a fuzzy sweater in my apartment, like every day? ☑️

Spend my free time at church, going on walks, working on Nostr stuff, playing board games, reading, or visiting relatives? ☑️

Normal full-time desk job? ☑️

Get excited about watching the next episode of Outlander while sipping the good Scotch? ☑️

Scrimping and saving the loose change, so that I don't starve in old age, and can maintain my middle-class lifestyle? ☑️

Fretting over the grocery bills? ☑️

#nostr means more quality time with our npug

Taking down the Christmas 🎄 and this is one of my favorite ornaments. It's just a piece of folded paper.

It looks super cute 🥰

Thanks! A friend of mine from Berlin sent me it in the mail.

She was working on her physics doctorate, specializating in protein folds, and it seemed to make her obsessed with origami. 😂

Being a scholar can make you fall in love with different things to scape academic reality lol

Sounds a lot like my life! And I'm content with it.

Yeah, me too, actually. I had a more exciting, glamorous life, for a while, and it was horrible. My husband offered me _The World's Sanest Existence_ and I was like Beam me up, Scotty! 😂

I'm all homey, now.

Making plans for my new rooftop-terrace garden. 🤩

Having a fast-paced glamorous life is horrible! You're constantly being surrounded by phonies who won't take a minute out of their day to help you with even the most trivial matters.

I like being homey💯! My 20's were... out of control.

Good idea! I just found out about this type of cauliflower that I want to add to my garden. Lol I'm not even curious about the taste, tbh. Just looks weird🤷.

The men tend to be lecherous.

Unfortunately, that's true. Men in social circles like that usually seem to lack any empathy whatsoever. Purely driven by their own desires and toxic need to suppress whatever negative feelings about themselves that they hold. They're, more often than not, very sad people deep down. I pity them, tbh.

I've eaten that! It actually taste pretty good.

Would you compare it to anything, if you could?

Halfway between broccoli and cauliflower

so, stirfry, par boil, don't let it overcook 🥬

Lol OK I guess I'm a little curious.

I've always been homey. I spend much of my weekends and evenings these days chipping away at a mountain of home improvement projects. Sometimes we invite friends over to play board games or host dinner parties and read poetry.

Do I want more excitement? Maybe on occasion. Generally I'm pretty content; I've found the things that matter.

If you and your wife like guns, a hunting trip might be pretty exciting sometime😎✅️.

Nice build. That's a 9, right? Hard to tell from the clip.

Yep.

Ruger PCR9

Made it very pretty for her lol.

Nice choice of rail and grip. Interesting choice of trigger🤔.

Oh yeah. Tight like a button.

Not much pressure at all to release the bang. No stroke/rake whatsoever

Oddly, having such a calm life is why I have time to work on GitCitadel. Probably hard to work on something like that, as a hobby, if you have an adventurous existence.

Yeah my friends who are "out and about" more often aren't working on side projects like this.

So I’m not uniquely weird? Albeit, sub Bourbon for Scotch.

Doesn't sound that bad actually lol.

My life...

Wake up everyday at 5:45 a.m. and cooks breakfast and makes lunch for the kids? ✅️

Takes them to and picks them up from school everyday?✅️

Runs errands almost all day?✅️

Has movie night almost every week with friends and family while kids complain about you having "old" taste in movies?✅️

Has some normie friends to congregate with every weekend?✅️

"Listens" to normie friends and family complain about the economy, sports, and other max-normie stuff while sipping on homebrew?✅️

Doesn't even bother trying to help them anymore because he's tired of repeating himself for over five years?✅️

In bed by 9:30 Monday through Thrusday?✅️

Yeah, I guess I should mention that I spend a lot of Fridays or Saturdays shopping 🛍️ with my daughter and Sundays watching my son play ⚽ Fußball.

Then I at least get out of the house. 😂
