Each one of us is only seconds away from an event that will change us and our life's path forever. Better yet, many of us won't even notice it when it happens.

I need this in my life. Like it might become my new desktop background or something more visible. Thank you. 🫂
Only true if you ignore the fact that the state prints money. Yes, it would eventually fail, perhaps sooner than otherwise, but it is already going through the motions of a failing, underfunded system.
There are ill and ailing people everywhere, but I feel no need to shame them for being ill. That will never help them heal.
Found this a long time ago, by using a client that doesn't really show zaps. Yes, you can zap me, but no, I won't see it. I check my alby balance occasionally, maybe every few months, but have no good way to tell what was zapped without using another client, and I don't care enough to do so. I don't need the validation to share my observations freely.
Nevermind that essentially every element was taken or adapted from other more symbolic contemporary religions, without doing much to preserve the symbology that points at actual ancient scientific knowledge. This was just the latest link in a telephone game of religious teaching that put us into the dark ages. None of this was intended to be interpreted literally - until it was.
Good on you for having these useful items around! Old window blinds are very good multi-tools, with a little imagination.
Add to this - do something to help someone else. This has been my hack to improve overall outlook for a long time.
Or just eat some ribeyes and cut out the carbs. Amazing how much better you'll feel when you stop poisoning yourself.
Get high! Got some good pictures from friends in MT last night.
The hardest part of being meat-based for me isn't anything to do with food. It is watching the others around me that I care about struggle with ailments that I assume they could find relief from by changing what they allow themselves to eat. To be completely fair, I assume this same hardship is felt by vegans as well. It almost feels like the trope of the immortality/survivor struggle, watching everyone you love die.
I rode my motorcycle today.
And after being down in my shop for a few weeks of maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and tuning, it felt really good!
Nice weather this weekend, you can guess where I'll be

I get weary of the normalization of poisons and their effects. GN. 🌛
I use one for work, very convenient for all the mfa systems I access daily. It stays at home though, so I prefer other methods for personal mfa access that I might need while mobile.
Last night I was staying at a hotel in Kennewick, WA, after driving there to rescue my daughter's broken-down car.
I stopped in the parkng lot to have a smoke and ended up in a long conversation with a guy drinking some beers on the tailgate of his pickup.
He mentioned something about protests or protesters, and I had to ask him what they were protesting this time.
We both had to admit that I don't watch the news much. Once he mentioned it, I did recall seeing some things about Israel, but it definitely wasn't front of mind.
And in this moment I felt that I was doing something very right.
We went on to talk a bit about hope, and I brought up monetary policy and bitcoin. He admitted he knew someone who retired very young from bitcoin, but hadnt looked at it seriously for himself - and couldn't understand why the price had gone up so much, and didn't think it would go up that much more.
By the end of the conversation, he was talking about taking everything out of his retirement accounts (he was approaching retirement age) and buying bitcoin. I doubt he was serious, and he'd had more than a few beers, but maybe I planted a seed he'd remember later. I didn't encourage him to roll over his retirement into bitcoin all at once, but rather to do it slowly - much better chance he might learn some things as he does it.
Now this is ending like our conversation, we just walked off our separate ways. GN.
Tired of all the doom, gloom, and panic around here. This is no way to live our lives. Yes, the govt is shit, always have been. Yes, the world is going to become a dystopian nightmare of unimaginable magnitude, nothing new there.
But fuck all that noise. If we have fuck you money, then tell all of it to fuck off and go on about enjoying life! Eat a fucking ribeye! Go touch grass, as they said. Fuck Saylor, DOJ, US Congress, and anything else that takes you away from enjoying your surroundings and those you choose to share them with.
Fuck code, if it doesn't free you. Fuck freedom, if it doesn't help you be your best self. Shit happening around the globe can fuck right off as well; there's enough happening right in my own household to deal with.
This little nostr echo chamber has gotten dark and unfunny lately, we need to lighten the fuck up and sweep away the useless drama. Maybe it's just time to prune down my follow list, but I know some of the worst doomsayers of late have had some of the best notes in the past.
GN. GFY.
I, for one, am convinced. Prove me wrong. Or don't, won't matter either way. And sorry, you're not special in this, I would say the same of any npub ;p
Visited Sequim and Port Angeles a year or two ago (anly a few hours drive from me). Really enjoyed the drive-through wild animal park. I'll probably end up riding through again this summer on the coastal loop.
