I have a feeling I'll be ghosting a lot of friends in the coming years.

Spending time around bitcoiners makes me question old friendships. I have friends I've known for 20+ years who haven't offered any real value in a long time.

That sounds awful to say, but they are so caught up in their dead end jobs and other bullshit. No care for anything else. They think the MSM and government are the best sources of truth. No interest in growing, or in self reflection.

Any attempt at deep, meaningful conversation basically turn into the "That's crazy. Catch the game last night?" meme. It's frustrating.

I'm still processing my feelings on this. I haven't had a close "crew" of buddies since high school. Even that was superficial. I've always been that guy people hang out with, but never a part of the "inner circle" or whatever.

I'm not saying this to garner empathy. I'm the complete opposite of depressed, and I don't stay up at night wishing I was one of the cool kids. I like having a close family, a wife that's my best friend, and a couple others I can talk to about anything and everything in a meaningful way.

I'm just wondering if it's time to drop some baggage.

Nostr is a great place for long-ish form writing. I love privacy, but I also love sharing the human experience. I spent the first 30 years of life keeping everything bottled up inside.

Never going back to that.

Good morning fam - what’s for breakfast?

I had 2 cups of single origin pour over from Colombia - b&w peach colada with cream

You have better things to do than spending time with people that suck.

I’m back home from Nashville and I have so many thoughts, but keep coming back to this from the Big Short:

"While the whole world was having a big old party, a few outsiders and weirdos saw the giant lie at the heart of the economy, and they saw it by doing something the rest of the suckers never thought to do: they looked."

Thank you to all you outsiders and weirdos who have taught me so much and made me laugh until my sides hurt. You see the lies and know it’s only a matter of time until the system breaks.

We aren’t the crazy ones; they are. 🧡

There is a pubkey who has uploaded over 6500 files to nostrcheck.me

Many of these files with adult content, I have reviewed each upload by hand, one by one.

Two days ago this ‘person’ started uploading illegal content involving underage children.

I'm tired, very tired. For me #nostr is a breath of fresh air, but this is beyond me, this is an abuse to all of us, from the victims of the pictures to myself.

#asknostr we have to do something about this. Seriously

P.S: never donated a single satoshi because of the indiscriminate abuse of my server, never.
