Yes. Democracy is not what I want. I want rule of a very limited law, upholding the individual’s right to his property, body and life. No voting is necessary for this

I was an alcoholic in my early 20’s. I was (then) undiagnosed with bipolar disorder and I guess I was trying to self medicate. It didn’t really help with anything, but I was pretty blind to that at the time.

It was a Friday, and some “friends” came over and we drank and had a “good time.” I keep using quotes because I don’t think I enjoyed that sort of thing then, and certainly don’t now.

The party progressed as they do and my ex-wife and I ended up in the bed with a young lady. Both wanted to fool around and I was not thinking about consequences for any of the three of us. Stuff happened.

The next day, realized what had happened, felt awful, and yes, scared to some degree. Girl said not to worry about it, wasn’t her first time. I said ok, but she was not to come over anymore. Everyone agreed and we went separate ways.

A year later, from what my lawyer explains, she told a girl friend of hers about that night, and it ended up getting back to the parents, etc. Cops came and talked to me, and I spent 6 months in county jail waiting to get sent to circuit court. Ex-wife was also arrested.

I pled guilty without a trail, and told the judge that I was responsible for the party, etc and got sentenced to 12 years.

I took prison very seriously as a sign that some major changes needed to take place in my life. I got a job teaching people to read in our adult educational facility at the prison and started going to church. Worked on mending fences with my family as what I had done affected them as well.

After several years I was transferred to another facility and ended up working at a textile plant run by the facility and volunteered at the church there.

When I came home I returned to my career (no minors are even allowed to work at the specific place I do, so that was a good fit) and married a wonderful woman (within a few years of one another). She cannot have kids, which seemed like a serendipity even though I am allowed to have my own as a non-violent offender.

I got involved in some things online after coming home that I shouldn’t have (being hateful, not anything related to my crime) which was brought on by something that happened while I was locked up. It was a mistake thinking that anything in there related to anything in the free world. A friend I made at work challenged my thinking on that, about six months after I left that group.

I’ve agonized over how to address this here, and I’ve ended up doing it on the spot anyways. I hope that clears some things up.

I’ve tried to focus on my immediate conduct towards others since joining Nostr, and trying to build up instead of destroy. I’ve gotten the help for my mental health I needed, and just tried to do right.

I can’t speak to any of the “quiet hurts” it may have caused the young lady. I’m not allowed to have contact (which seems sensible) so I haven’t been able to hear how she did after. I do know she still lives in this area and is married with kids now. I’m happy for her and take precautions to not be in her area, and I almost never go anywhere alone.

Besides that I have an excellent relationship with the local PD, comply with what I’m asked to do, and I come off the registry in five more years.

I agree with all that, except for food and booze part.

We need quality food to be healthy and live longer.

Most of fancy foods have good quality ingredients, but good food doesn't have to be fancy and you can get it for cheap in most countries.

Gastronomic plate may not worth it for the calories/price but you're sure to discover flavors you can't even imagine, and the same goes for alcohol, and if it's combined with food the feeling is priceless

I usually feel awful after flying long distances. Some people travel well, and that’s not really me.

I usually can’t sleep much on a plane, even in business class, so I forcibly skip a whole night of sleep basically, and end up with a headache and full body aches.

Over the years I’ve picked up some techniques to minimize it, but clearly not enough (travel for me used to be “hellish” and now it’s much improved to just “awful”).

What do ya’ll do to minimize the negative impact when traveling?

I don't know what's causing it, but if I were you, I would backup my private key (settings, account, copy private key), u install and reinstall, and relogin with your key.

Hello. What error are you getting?

Don't worry, when I got here I wasn't into bitcoin either, little by little I began to understand more although I don't base my posts only on bitcoin... users who speak outside of bitcoin generally use the hashtag #grownostr, you can follow it as well as others according to your interest

To each their own, but I ditched smoking weed 90 days ago today, after 15 years of daily usage, somewhere in the ball park of 150-300mg of THC daily.

Psychologically it’s been one of the most challenging things I’ve done. I never even realized what a crutch it had become for my mind.

Long story short, I feel weed has a purpose, as it did for me at certain times in my life, but people really underestimate the power it really has over the mind.

Take a break. Truly open your mind. Sobriety is way more intense than being high.
