I love your sentiment #[1] but disagree with your premiss. You say faith is belief in something you can’t see and touch, then later you talk about using your past accomplishments as evidence. Those past accomplishments are exactly those things that you saw felt and touched. You can believe in them because you did them and based that you can have faith that you’re capable of at least accomplishing as much or more.

Faith is not delusional, it is evidence based in every respect.

Delusion is what #[2] defines as “p retending you know something you don’t know”.

Bread got away from me.

Recovered it though.

What are the top ten albums that shaped your overall musical preferences today?

#10 Black Sabbath – We Sold Our Soul For Rock’N’Roll

Starting the list off with a compilation/best of CD this album features the very best of Black Sabbath. By the time I came around to this one I had already been fully enmeshed in grunge and just having picked up a guitar for myself I began learning to play with a cover band (I was mostly a roadie helping set up and tear down sets) and learned many of the songs on this one thus realizing where all the metal bands got their influence. We Sold Our Soul For Rock’N’Roll blew me away with the combination of raw power and intricate playing along with the vocal power of Ozzy. Probably the biggest surprise for me was for all the raw metal power in many of the riffs, Sabbath also has a bluesy feel in many of the songs like “The Wizard”, “Fairies Wear Boots”, and “N.I.B.”.

We Sold Our Soul For Rock’N’Roll was my gateway into 60’s and 70’s rock, what had at the time recently become Classic Rock.

That’s checkmate! Her first win against me. #chess ♟️👏

Let the money take care of itself so the living can take care of each other.

Spent time with family members that are active in the Green party. They want THIS to be law, THAT to be mandatory, THOSE rules implemented, taxes on everything they don't like but can't forbid they want, LESS of this, LESS of that, everyone has to cut back... And all comes down to: MORE power to the state, the government being LARGER and MORE intrusive, personal freedom MUST NOT exist, there CANNOT be divergence from their plan, the correct path.

Or else the entire planet dies and everyone on it.

What was the reason again? Global warming, global cooling, climate change, climate stasis, climate compensation, climate reversal? One of those I guess, I forget where we are in the script.

They might not know it yet, which maybe is the most abhorrent thing about their grandios plans to micromanage everything and by force but they are advocating for the death of hundred of millions, of course the poorest, those who barely hold on and wouldn't even live today without the fruits of the labor that of open market capitalism and people's freedom to persue whatever ideas they judge worthy of pursuing. While riding around their electric car fuelled by French nuclear power, ordering their swag from Amazon to a station so neighbors can't see the delivery van.

They advocate for the destruction of everything humans have build since the invention of the candle. Since candles and lantern oils have been sourced from animal fat I don't think we would have them either in their Utopia.

I don't say any of this. I don't care for the left & right political theater. Take the money out of politics and see how fast 80% of the actors and their bullshit disappear immediately and how tame the other 20% become. Take money out of the hands of humans entirely, see how fast we become self organized and community oriented.

Let the money take care of itself so the living can take care of each other.

Two things i agree with that stand out, money and theater. Our government today, and back to a point, has always been about elites getting paid by elites for favors, and disguising it in theater for our approval.

Unfortunately, it works so well.

♟️great way to start the day!

It is now. ⚡️🤙 The only other one I’ve used more than a couple days was FB 🤢 mostly just in read-only. 📖

Does it count if my wife tells me about everything she reads ands posts?

Been using raspian for a home server running #bitcoin node and pihole. About to start playing around with Umbrel. Anything to watch for or try out?

Another 24 hours behind us. Keep it up #Plebs. ⚡️🤙🔥

Not much today. Dropped kids off at school, commute, work, commute, dinner with family, help kids with homework, a few dishes, winding down with Tolkien.

Now that I list it out I guess it was a pretty full day. Good too. Think I’ll do it again tomorrow.

Wow! Sorry for all the typos.

It’s probably a lot to do with who I follow at the moment, been here a couple weeks so far, maybe. I’d say 40% of what I see are BTC memes/conversations, 30% are nostr development memes/conversations, 20% are zap/zapathon related, and 10% are other memes or varied conversations. (Very rough estimates)

All of this is valid content and early days type stuff. Nothing wrong with any of it specifically. Perhaps what I’m trying to get at is this all seems directed to a specific audience, which may be the point of it all as with no central authority it will be soley up to the users and then the relay managers to direct content. As I was writing my initial reply to your post I had the realization that it also falls to me directly to supply at least part of the missing content I’m refering to. I may just be now realizing how passive I’ve been in such matters.

I should also not assume this platform is meant for general audiences, although I did get the initial impression this is on people’s minds here. If there is supposed to be room for all with little to no content moderation (relay dependent) then I feel that implies a desire of the community at large to have the majority of tweeties, facers, and the rest to migrate as well.

1) love not getting flooded by the same tyoe of content because I clicked on it one time

2) there seems to be only one real type of content at the moment

3) vatiety of content

Early stages, Lots of growing to do

Great tip! Thanks🤙⚡️

Mornin’ folks. Woke up to no power from a storm overnight. ❄️🌨️🪫. Shotty cellular service too. 🤷‍♂️

Hopefully I don’t have to go all day like this.

At least I have a french press and a gas for hot water/coffee. ☕️🔥🕯️
