Stephan, 🎯 but note:
"to think independently" allows decision.
(Latin decidere, from de- ‘off’ + caedere ‘cut’.)
You cut away irrelevant matters
A decision is not an emotional thing -
so "pain and scorn" are irrelevant.
The beauty of the HODL - pre-mass adoption
A cold wallet hodler can say in truth:
- I did it my way !
Co-incidentally wrote a note to that effect here:

Tl;DR - Sovereign control
Both Offence and Instructions are taken
Binding someone to hear or act is violence
"I was told to" has not been an excuse since Mai Lai / Nuremberg
Own your actions!
Free Speech and Free Listening are different.
Taking offence is a decision
At the core of human rights is sovereignty over the body.
If I exercise my vocal cords - it may annoy you (it probably will ;) - but you may move away (or ask for my silence)
What I may not do is impose hearing on you, any more than I should impose silence on you.
To bind you in any way - with the exception of defensive action is coercion or violence (of your sovereignty)
So I can ignore your words or avoid them - unless you are violating me. In which case I may and should resist.
EXACTLY THE SAME applies to someone you move to violence against me. They may ignore you (and should), and maybe I can ignore them.
If they act violently they have no excuse ("Doing My Duty" was the rejected Nuremberg defence and didn't apply at My Lai either)
What is unacceptable is for me to bind them (unless to resist their violence)
Thus punishing free-speech is violence as much as unwarranted incarceration or physical abuse is a violation.
Key message - People offer offence - to take it or not is your choice - own it !
To intend offence (taken or not) is offensive - and some will.
If you can rise above it you are the better person.
Cool - And its back!
Just thought I should let you know - took a look - looks excellent - but Ohio to me is a bit prohibitive (like trans Atlantic)
Good Luck
GM, nostr! I'm a bit nervous to try this, but I've decided to experiment with opening an online business grocery store, powered by nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsymkvl9. Currently, as shipping is still so expensive, I only have a few selections of meat "bundles". I'll add more as I find suppliers willing to work with me. There are still quite a few things to work out. So stay tuned. And I created a nostr npub for it here: nostr:nprofile1qqs87q9tms8kn8hswme87thhsvg09pzzgvq3x5farl6aj6gf2cc2l9qpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uu5hrpa
Hi - Good luck - Currently getting a 502 gateway error
Status Quo: "Down, Down" is all about bitcoin
Allow me to explain:
1/
I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing, and you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again
Again again again and deeper and down
2/
I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing, stop your messing with me
You'll be back to find your way
Again again again again
Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down
3/
I have found you out you see
I know what you're doing, what you're doing to me
I'll keep on and say to you
Again again again again
Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down
Hi Freddie,
Really appreciate the zap (it's working Woohoo ! )
Even happier with the share. So TY.
If interested I tried a habla.new longer form note
re-adoption, eccentricity etc - if anyone can / wants to read it - great.
If i get to a readership of 5+ I might even write more ✒️
Indeed, algorithms are societal mind control.
I feel much less stressed out and angry since shutting down all of my prior social media accounts, other than #nostr.
I don’t miss them at all… not even a little bit.
Although unplugging from them (especially X) felt like breaking off a powerful addiction.
Shout out to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for the insight while I was still stuck in the matrix.

Anticipating unknown unknowns
Looks like you lost the entire balance completely
#TIL - Never leave a nostr:npub1r8343wqpra05l3jnc4jud4xz7vlnyeslf7gfsty7ahpf92rhfmpsmqwym8 hammer in your back right shorts pocket.
Polite suggestions welcome 🤣
Tried to zap you (not sure if it went (a little yellow 42 flickered up then zap button grayed out again) - I don't see a balance anywhere on the desktop client) - will try on mobile app (might work better).
If you end up with twice my enormous generosity - spend it wisely !
nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l - saying you were of X for good (assuming it wasn't a bot 🤣 ) gave me the push to get on nostr .
So much appreciate your efforts - TY
Thanks - feedback really beats playing squash alone in a field !
Wallet - not used lightning yet only L1 cold storage
Don't mind keeping small custodial amounts - prefer non-custodial but need lnurl support essential for send / rx zaps I believe - Thanks again
First Post - No idea but as a baby figured out how to walk !
Stage 2 - Probably many hours later :
Set profile name (somehow) currently grayed out (astral / linux)
Stage 3 Nip-05 + LUD-06 whatever they are
Do say Hi
If I am only talking to myself please don't ! :)
