You have no idea how annoying it is listening to the non stop political ads in a swing state

Cypherpunks don't give a fuck about dietary bullshit, tradwifes, seed oils, sunning your balls, etc.

how will nostr deal with the child porn? its an issue

I see delete as vital for privacy and to prevent major foot guns. I am extremely cautious when posting images for example. Most of the time, I just CTRL+V it and after a few seconds, I see a link to a hosted image in my client.

Did I accidentally upload an image that I didn't want to share? What would I do if I did?

Another fear I have when using nostr is to copy paste the wrong piece of text, for example a password or something similar, and hitring enter accidentally without checking the post again.

These things can happen and the fact that you can't delete a mistake is terrifying. Posting on nostr often feels dangerous to me.

My husband’s testosterone has increased by over 300 ng/dl in the 13 months we have lived in Hawaii and it wasn’t low to begin with 😱

No trt- just sun, lots of exercise, real food, and no stress.

In america all of these things are legally protected free speech. What a country 🦅 🇺🇸

When I was a teenager, my family of four had to move into an 18-foot Class C RV.

My dad took a job across the state, and we had nowhere to live and no money. My parents did the best they could.

We eventually moved into a little double-wide for rent in town.

People might look down on that, but I'm telling you right now that summer and the next 18 months were my childhood's two most memorable years.

We did free things and drove almost daily into the region's outskirts. My brother and I would explore the ruins of abandoned cabins, peeling back layers of wall insulation of the day (newspapers) to reveal dates from the early 1900s.

We played outside because the inside was really only for sleeping or shelter during storms.

We went to every museum and attended every free event downtown put on.

We became experts at which washing machines and dryers worked the best in the local laundromat.

We spent copious amounts of time in the libraries, especially the one that had the basement where a rummage sale happened each week.

We experienced extreme weather bouts where we learned so much about ourselves and the world around us.

We hiked on the weekends.

Mom had to take a part-time job. I used to help her periodically and learned some things by doing that, too.

I learned about angry yellow jackets, bucket rides that helped you scale mountains, and legends of the local Native Americans.

Forest fires happened the following summer. After that, we joined the mushroom pickers for a chance to make extra money. I remember I got to keep around $20 for putting up with Dad dragging us up the mountainside.

Mom wasn't 100% pleased, that I remember, but it was a good adventure, and by the end of the day, my brother and I were too tired to argue.

The wildlife was unmatched for that part of the world.

I'm sure my parents had an entirely different perspective on things, but those two years were full of imagination, awe, and discovery. Thirty-five years later, I still remember the most details from that period.

I never would have had those experiences had we not moved into that tiny RV, no matter how temporary.

I’m running out of choices where to move. Seems like Europe is in total chaos and have draconian law against freedom. So minus Madeira or Switzerland! Middle East is on the brink of war. Minus Dubai! LATAM is too far and not developed well. The struggle is real !

been looking at breathwork. what resources you think are good to explore? thanks

Some people don’t get along with their mother-in-laws. Mine came over to feed me and help me shower🫂

I love my new family so much.

Let's talk drugs! I've heard a lot of mixed takes on marijuana and psilocybin, and wanted to share my own recent experiences. 😄

I never touched any drugs, besides alcohol/caffeine/sugar, until my 40s. I prefer to not be impaired or dependent, which is why I quit alcohol and caffeine a few years ago. Now that my kids are living on their own, and I'm retired, I find myself wanting to experience more things in life.

So I decided to try THC & psilocybin.

I can see why people are split on weed. Productivity can go way up or down, depending on the person, the mood, etc. I find it to be fun, but definitely not something I want to partake in regularly. I get way too retarded! 😂

I won't smoke or vape, so I stick with a tiny dose from a tincture. The high can last 6-8 hours in my system, which is a very long time for a small dose. Not something I want to deal with on the regular.

I'm very logical, almost to a fault. Psychedelics never sounded like a good idea, but I decided to try psilocybin recently. I was anxious about what would happen, but I put some music on, closed my eyes, and relaxed.🎶

With psilocybin, I feel like I'm tapping into a part of my brain that I rarely use. My logical thought process is still present, but my creative side takes control. I get deeply introspective. I start writing a lot.

I'm already a huge music lover, but my appreciation for it reached new heights. I experience seeing the sounds. I can fully appreciate the space between chaos and order where music lives. The more instruments the better, which is why I find orchestra music to be the absolute best with psilocybin.

It's an incredible experience that I walk away from knowing myself a little better. The writing is my favorite part, as I'm able to go back and reflect on my thoughts during the experience. To my surprise, it isn't a rambling mess! It's thoughtful, emotional, and honest. I'll even share with others who I directly write about. It's an extremely therapeutic process.

Again, I'm glad I never tried any of these mind altering substances until later in life. Being a fully developed human, and having a better understanding of myself, helps make these experiences stable and beneficial. In my youth, when my self control was worse, I could have ended up going down a dark path if I tried drugs. I'd likely be a very different person today.

I will always prefer to remain sober the overwhelming majority of the time, but I can see the pros & cons of altering your mind. Under the right circumstances, of course! 😄👍

Keep in mind that there are a lot of scammers on Nostr, just like any social media.

All of the Lyn Alden impersonators with links to “trading signals” and stuff are scams.
