I struggle with the same thing. I was raised in a different country with different culture values, and it was just a given that folks gave you a nod or thank you when you were nice or paid them a good turn.
I now subscribe to Dawn's approach - I'm nice because it makes me feel like a nice person. It's great if my kindness is infectous to another, but if not, oh well, their mood isn't mine to control. Before, I found myself annoyed far too much and I'd gripe to my spouse about other's lack of kindness acknowledgement, which didn't make me feel like a good person. So, I stopped.
Keep forgetting the darn hashtags. #plebchain #coffeechain #musings #virtualhugs
I know a lot of folks are challenged with current world events. Irrespective of your political leanings, it's a time to empathize and remember that we all have our own ways of dealing with change. If a colleague, friend, or loved one is a little tense or on edge, remember they may be struggling inside.
I would like to offer a virtual hug to anyone that wants one, and if you feel compelled to zap me, I shall consider your token of appreciation a job well done. 😃
Enjoying Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks. Proud of myself for taking time out of my busy day to read twice this week. #musings

Fell of the chair laughing at this one.
LOL, good opportunity to see if my wallet is working, me thinks.....
Good question... the philosophy behind decentralized is solid and garnering lots of interest. Unfortunately, the barrier of entry is high. I think of my dear old Mom, who's on FB, could I get her posting in Nostr? Probably not easily. Bluesky is likely the closest she'd get to the Fedi-verse with an easier sign up and post experience. That said, the Nostr community is strong and there's some great technical talent out there working to lower the entry barrier. Like all good innovation, the early version attracts the technically minded and eventually matures to mainstream.

As I drink my third coffee of the day I sit and reflect on lessons learned this morning:
1. Sometimes information given is misleading to promote an agenda
2. Digging into misleading information can uncover new issues
3. Never ignore misleading information, but take all with skepticism

Gonna try #meshtastic also, probably on an RPi first.

I mean you’re at the all time high asking for a low cost entry. You’ve got two choices; either throw in a lump some now - or wait - or take what you have that you’re willing to buy corn with and DCA with a set amount per day. Lower that amount as price goes up and buy more as price goes down. I recommend nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 as a simple solution for it
