somehow horseshoes feels dangerous to me.

Love watching shitcoiners lose it 😈😂

It’s very hard for me to understand the NPC hive mind.

What causes it?

Why is it so intolerant of basic truths?

Is there no dissent amongst its ranks?

What's been your experience ditching Twitter and going #Nostr Only?

I will not live in the pod, eat the bugs, turn off the air conditioning, or visit the Orb.

Like a psychopath.

Between Twitter moving to a dystopian hell-hole with the X re-brand or everyone talking about World Coin, I just can't do it today.

I need to be on Nostr WAY more often. Sorry to bring it up here...

You think you’re funny, but true humor lies in being able to say “that’s what she said.” when it makes absolutely no sense - which is actually quite rare.

It really details a person’s thoughts while they try to figure out internally how what they just said could be perceived as something “she said.”

Verbal judo at its best.

why is Elon not interested in protocols? He really believes his single company X will handle half of the worlds transactions? Look at what happened with PayPal: they can and will freeze your account for any reason. This would be dystopian hell, worse than CBDCs.

Every year, I spend 1-2 months living in Egypt. This is because my husband is originally from Egypt, his family is much larger than mine, and so while our economic base is in the US, our social base is actually in Egypt. I thus became multinational many years ago.

However, my husband spends 3-4 months each year in Egypt, while I only spend 1-2 months there. So, there are 1-2 months where I’m in the US alone. The reason I choose to do this is to look after the household and business, and because I’m not as productive in Egypt (inconsistent internet, less optimal workstation, way more social pressures, and so forth).

In some ways, we find that spending some time apart strengthens our relationship and lets us focus on our separate things for part of the year. And when we meet after 1-2 months, it’s such a great reunion. We find ourselves wanting to catch up on so much and spend extra time together. But also, even though in some ways I look forward to having time alone and indeed get a lot done during that time, I immediately regret it once I am alone. I find myself constantly looking forward to going to Egypt, as I am now. During these periods, I end up posting more on social media, either constructively or non-constructively, in what tends to be a replacement for diminished in-person contact.

This seems to be amplified by my work situation. When I was an engineer, I worked with colleagues in person each day, but now that I work from home, my colleagues are virtual and I meet them in person only at major events. So, this relatively brief window each year of being in a different place than my husband tends to be oddly monk-like, with me at home alone 24 hours per day, working and living and doing whatever I do. I think one of my future goals will be to increase my deliberate effort at spending time with local friends, especially during this part of the year.

Anyway, I’m doing a series of “real thoughts” uniquely on Nostr, and this is the first one.

Conclusion: Social circles are (obviously) a very important thing, including for workaholics and introverts like myself. Social circles affect us in various ways, and having gone through many cycles, I have become increasingly aware of the changes that take place during these seasonal cycles of being close to others vs far from others.

How’s Bitcoin changed you?

Here’s some of mine.

-Became a libertarian and don’t simp for politicans.

-Become skeptical of any centralised hierarchies. E.g big tech and big pharma

-No longer eat processed soy laced food and seed oils.

-Spend more time in the sun.

-Appreciate my free time

-No longer worried of peoples opinions.

-I now value privacy on the internet. Interested in the cyberpunk ideals

-Made me a better debater and deep thinker

-Took me down many rabbit holes and see through many veils

-No longer an atheist, and brought me closer to God

-My dream is now to own large piece of land and have my own cattle and chickens.

Good Morning ☕💜
