Tinkerer, silly posting 🇨🇦 | #carstr #gamestr #bitcoin

Something I find I really enjoy about Nostr is that people are more open to sharing their ideas, and generally in response others will share theirs even if they disagree. In that case as well, folks tend to engage in respectful discourse rather than argue and devolve to insults like other internet subcultures.

TLDR; Nostr FTW 🔥

There can be enough space for men to be masculine and women to be feminine, without rejecting and ostracizing people who don’t vibe with either category. Embrace who you are. If someone rejects that, they can fuck off.

This is true for men in the context of (whichever type of) feminism that rejects masculinity. This is true for women in the face of being pressured to work (or being pressured into motherhood). It’s true for trans people in a world that denies their lived experience.

Indigenous cultures often acknowledge (and respect) an alternative way of identifying oneself, and neurobiological studies show significantly different brain activity and hormones in people who feel different inside vs out.

I have never experienced this feeling, and it would be arrogant to claim that I know much about it.

But I know what it feels like to be a man. It means confidence and standing tall, but that’s very different from abusing your power.

It means respecting (and protecting) the lives and experiences of people around me. It means respecting women’s power, and weakness. It means acknowledging my own strengths and flaws, ones that I share with many of my brothers. Being grounded in masculinity means holding space for the differences between us.

The culture war bullshit is, indeed, bullshit. And pendulums will always swing. But my hope is that, as we move closer to equilibrium, more of us will learn to abide in compassion, and become able to listen without immediately believing OR rejecting the views of those around us, and bring more Light into the lives of those around us. We’re all conditioned by our environment, and it can take immense effort to unravel that conditioning and experience the world for what it is.

I believe in human goodness - it’s why I Bitcoin. It’s why I’m here on Nostr.

But we have a long way to go.

Well said sir. You make some very good points on what it means to be a man, and I stand by your claims. The culture war is simply a distraction from the oligarchs. The true focus should be the class war, because that is the true division in the world. All people are people, all cultures interconnected, but yet no matter what culture you exist within the mega rich & corporate class always take advantage of the poor.

Yes. That’s more than double my current annual income, and honestly making more money is exactly what I need right now. I’m sure eventually it wouldn’t sound like a lot, and I suppose in the grand scheme of society and money it’s not truly a large amount, however I believe this to be a subjective view based on your current circumstances. To someone who doesn’t make much, 100k is a dream.

I am. My issue is that they’re flooded with AI accounts that either post gen ai images or just robots that repost random photos with no context. I want to interact with PEOPLE and build a car COMMUNITY on Nostr. People who build their own shit, project car enthusiasts, racing fans, etc. Atm, all the car hashtags are flooded with just random shit.

Wish I could find more car and JDM content on here. Literally one of the only things keeping me from solely using Nostr.

Getting really fucking tired of always being the villain

That’s not how that works and you know that, Craig. When two people express intent to be in a mutually exclusive monogamous relationship, they’ve made an agreement with one another that they are a couple and therefore not single anymore, and any such behaviour would result in an end to the relationship. It’s not even remotely the same thing as going on a FIRST date with a girl and she’s texting other people. It’s not like she video called some guy, it’s literally the same thing as an incoming phone call or message, someone else made the action not her. You’re definitely allowed to have your preferences and if you want to only date people who also only date one person that’s great, have at it. But it’s ridiculously conceited to project your opinion on other people, especially when they’re behaving entirely regularly. When I was single and on first dates with women, I too would receive messages from other women I was speaking to or sleeping with. It’s societally normal to be talking with multiple people when meeting people in the hopes of finding a romantic partner. Once you find that connection, you stop talking to everyone else because you don’t need to anymore: you have found what you were looking for.

Thanks T, much appreciated 💜🫂 I’ll do my best not to!

Not only did I make good money today, but I made better than what my salary would’ve paid for the same hours, spend time with one of my best friends, got to work on my strength, hone my skills, and develop new skills. Grateful life’s path has come this way.

Just finished my first 16 hour day of installs at my new job. Never did I work this long or this hard at my old position in restaurant management, but I’m happier today than I ever was coming home before.

Thankfully I can still do things like this. I’m still young and don’t have a family to take care of yet.

Fishcake is a very wise individual, take his advice to heart!
