No, but if I know it comes I might party before hands.

I see a storm on the horizon, which makes it still far for now… let’s party

What if it comes up tomorrow but way hotter than usual? Not so hot that you burn instantly, just hot enough to make you suffer for a couple of years… should I worry?

Was just listening to the full album a few days ago. What a classic!!!

Socialism and communism are not the same ideas. They are both a rejection of capitalism.

Labels. I can slap labels on anything. You call it a capitalist, I call it a “1% socialist”

When labels are used to divide. Both sides of the divide suffer. But sadly many people do not seem capable of thinking outside bipolar, black or white.

The power that comes leveraging that feelings we have towards “the others”

Someone just tried to give up coffee, without success.

Here’s my take on that. There’s nothing wrong with coffee. However if you’re having it for the energy it gives you, I’ve found there are more effective ways to get that energy. When it comes to habits, replacing a habit is much more likely to work (feels like evolution) than removing one (feels like self-denial)

There are 4 sources of energy (I’m talking the energy a human feels, not kWhs!)

1. Food

2. Sleep

3. Breath

4. Knowledge/ a calm state of mind

Of these, the most unexplored and the most impactful I’ve found is the breath.

I stopped having coffee (and other stimulants) after starting a daily practice of breathing exercises. It wasn’t even a big deal or an effort. I just found I didn’t need it. From time to time - maybe once a year I might have a coffee because I like the taste, and the aroma, and when I do, I really enjoy and savor it. But I no longer need it. I don’t crave it.

For me, a critical pet of freedom is reducing and removing what I feel I “need”. Freedom for me means there is nothing and no one in life that has control over me. If I need, or believe I need, anything or anyone outside of myself, then I am not free.

Anyway, the particular breathing practice I found most effective after trialling a few was SKY breathing, as taught by the Art of Living foundation. Back in 2007 I completed my training to be able to teach this technique to others, and as a volunteer in my spare time just recently completed the 100th course. I was fortunate enough to discover the technique by accident more than 20 years ago, before breathing practices were fashionable. But I just did a quick search and found that it’s now had over 100 papers published on its heath and well-being benefits.

My coffee habit was killing me… but it was the sugar I used to put inside.

Finally a poll that makes some sense

It gives you the old ATH adjusted for inflation, still a win. Cycle is young…

There are more, but this could be enough.

The 2nd of May is also your friend. But you need to be a fan of the fan

Pretty big scam, but not built as a Ponzi scheme IMO

Gonna be honest, had not heard people discuss communism in ages. before joining Nostr. I thought it was pretty much extinct and out of the discussion.

To me, all this feels like a bad movie from the 50’s
