How does Nostr feel about mortgage sizes relative to income? Gotta live somewhere

One thing that stood out to me in this episode was (paraphrasing) āthereās only room for a few people to be highly successful in one field, but plenty of room for people to claim affinity to that field on social mediaā.
Itās easier to simply associate yourself with something cool or indicative of success than it is to actually be good at something and let your work talk for itself.
In recent months Iāve reduced my posting of rollerblading content down to almost 0 and Iāve focused on my actual job, fixing dental equipment. In this time Iāve been promoted, abused by customers over the phone for problems with their equipment then thanked profusely for fixing it, made more money and worked harder than Iāve ever worked before.
In my field of work, there is no social media hype to be seen. The moment you post something bragging of your successes, you will be cut down by a customer with another broken piece of equipment. The success you have to show over those who canāt hang in the industry, is by staying in business. Those who canāt cut it, go under. Your only signal of success is a website to your business that has never been taken down, and a slogan that says āover 15 years in businessā.
The sales reps of dental equipment change brands every few years as they burn all their contacts, and the great service engineers have resumes with 20+ years with one company and a phone that rings all day.
As I approach 12 years with company I work for, with a phone that rings all day, Iām hoping that on Iām way to being considered a great service engineer.
Rollerblading is shifting back to being the social hobby it began as, and out of being a second job. Focus, focus.

This amazing series gives you existential dread. I absolutely loved it, and despise how scarily correct the logic of the dark forest theory feel.
Understood the technical side of bitcoin in 2013, didnāt buy any for another 7 years. /shrug
Doesnāt NOSTR DMs have the issue that even if the contents of the message is encrypted, the relays are still broadcasting the message to a publicly known address? Like you can see who is messaging each other, even if you canāt see what theyāre saying.
Or can nPUBs create subaddresses and obfuscate that away?
Just let it all happen. Where life goes for you is good. The pain and the joy are all part of the journey to best things in your life.
When I restarted my node, you had sent through 6 x 200 sat zaps, so I sent you back the extra š¤
All good my dude, I probably was tweaking with my node and knocked it offline. Iāve got some reliability issues to sort out.

Alien: Romulus was surprisingly dope. Back to the psychological thriller roots, loved it!

Making a fool out of everyone in the comments lol
The more I go down the nostr rabbit hole, the more it feels like the internet of my youth. No feeling of having to be in any one place in particular, just out there rummaging through whatever. Self directed, self hosted.
You should call it āShitterā
A) you promise for it to no be shitter then the rest
B) itās great for checking in on while youāre on the shitter
