Something I’m rather firm on is that if you have the ability to make children and you do not. You are in 99.99% if circumstances making a gigantic mistake.

Children make life worth living.

Children provide instant meaning to life.

They inspire planning and care about the future.

They increase joy.

They make life novel and exciting again.

They’re innovative, surprising and imaginative.

They reflexively shape us as we attempt to shape them into better versions of themselves/ourselves.

If you have children and they have children you will be increasingly surrounded by life as you grow old.

If you do not, you will be surrounded by death as everyone you know slowly dies.

You will never regret having kids.

You will certainly regret not having them.

If you have kids you are honoring the sacrifice and suffering your ancestors had to endure by passing the torch forward.

If you do not you are dishonoring them by wasting your life on the meaningless pursuit of your own pleasure.

These are very strongly held immutable beliefs for me.

Hi everyone,

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a proud dad, happily married to my wife, and blessed with three amazing kids. One of the passions that drives me is my love for Bitcoin. In fact, I recently achieved a significant milestone in my financial journey by paying off my house and cars, allowing me to live a debt-free life.

Living simply is a philosophy I embrace, and I am constantly striving to "orange pill" people, enlightening them about the potential of Bitcoin and its impact on our society. As my wife and I homeschool our children, we ensure they receive several hours each week dedicated to Bitcoin education and discussions about the flaws within our government and the importance of critical thinking.

I believe it is crucial to question the actions of our government and encourage others to do the same. Together, we can foster a more informed and empowered society. I look forward to engaging with you all on Nostr, sharing insights, and learning from each other.

Does anyone know if Primal is available in Mexico? What do you think is the simplest client/ set up to engage and recieve sats (for an older person less technically inclined) ?

I have a dear friend who lives in Cancun. She is a very talented artist that does everything from paintings to clay sculptures. She is active on Instagram but doesn't have the technical ability (or desire) to start a website where she could drive traffic in order to sell her art. She doesn't make any money at all for her art.

I want to set her up on nostr because I feel she'll at least make some money from zaps. For her, even a small amount of sats will go far in her local economy (Sats to Mexican Peso).

My intent is to set my friend up with the simplest client and bitcoin/lightning wallet to engage the social network side of nostr and showcase her art. She is older and would be using the sats she gets from zaps in the local economy. I plan on getting her a debit card that can link to an offramp/exchange.

I'm thinking primal might be best as it's got a really nice interface and has a wallet already built in. As for the debit card, I might set her up with a coinbase card. What do the people of Nostr think? Is there a better set up? Anyone in Mexico who can steer me in the right direction?

There are some big Telegram accounts claiming to be me. They are impersonators, so be careful.

While I do have a Telegram account, I only use it for very limited purposes in small groups, and have not posted from it in many months.

On my homepage sidebar, I link to the four active socials I use. Anyone claiming to be me from other than those four is likely an impersonator.

Asking to not have my face scanned by TSA makes me feel like a criminal. Maybe it’s all in my head. Feels intentional for compliance.

I will continue to opt-out.

It should really be opt-in.

It really shouldn’t even be there.

I grew up in a different country to the uk of today.

Every single service in the uk is in utter decline.

The only thing the uk has going it for it now is breakfast and Glastonbury.

And I didn’t get tickets this year 😢

I’m scripting a video about the decline of the uk and it’s so cathartic to voice just how shit everything has got.

Is there some trick to making grease guns usable? I had a shitty one, thought maybe spending more might help, now I have a battery powered one (fewer hand cramps at least) & still more grease goes around the fittings than in, & getting the hose to detatch is still nearly impossible.

Why the fuck isn't there just some sort of release collar?! Are there replacement hoses that have some sort of manual release?

After wasting many days and resources trying to satisfy users’ and devs’ requests, I’ve learned my lesson to just work on the things that I enjoy and think are useful to many. My main motivator is usage and users’ feedback. If things are unused and ignored, it signals to me that it is not needed and I must cut my losses short. It is really that simple, and it is not about sats or profits. The usage is the king! I am sure many devs can relate 🐶🐾🫡🫂
