comment if you don't use a search engine when you have a question

Do people just not use search engines any more? Every day I see multiple questions on here that can be answered with literally less than 10 seconds of search effort.

Very puzzled

I have a question, i break out the dictionary, encyclopedia, or google

Not entirely.

If i post "enfocwkfbfueoenfigkeie" all day

That is objectively 0:1 signal : noise

the ratio goes up from there

I wonder…cancer rates different in there?

Hi, I'm Nela,

and I'm between 25 and 60 years old, German (+Senegalese, Swedish, Balkan ..) live in Berlin +

in the process of moving to Costa Rica.

I've known about Bitcoin since 2019, experienced my own personal use case, I've gone down the rabbit hole (the most interesting symptom of Bitcoinism), and I've come out the other side enlightened, a bit confused but reformed.

Over the past year, I've battled my inner toad (ribbit ribbit no no ), experienced and processed the most absurd things, and finally ended up where I always wanted to be: on the way. For me, the journey is the goal, walk the path consciously and the result will be just right. On my to-do list for 2024: to be more conscious of my energy and traumawork. (I feel you nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs , thanks for your honesty.)

Learned film production and content creation with a focus on photography ( have a look at some scetches on my profile + some photos I took during Nostrica 2023 .)

I developed the confidence to share my visions with the world and soon start with my #NelaBags I hope you like them.. and buy them.:)

Nostr is my only social media. I have made my points of critique…and celebrate all the new applications on this protocol and around Bitcoin.

Thanks to you ppl, for your friendly

persistence, forbearance and generosity. .

Today marks two years since Russia initiated the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.

https://crimethinc.com/AntiwarRussia2022

The invasion would never have been possible if Putin’s regime had not spent the past decade crushing every social movement in Russia—using torture to extract false confessions from arrestees and imprisoning or assassinating countless people. But this is not limited to Russia alone.

Everywhere on earth, governments are relying on more and more repressive and invasive policing to control restless populations. The war in Ukraine is part of a story that is familiar in Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Sudan, Palestine, and elsewhere. It represents the same strategy that governments around the world are employing within their territories, expanded to the scale of geopolitics: the recourse to brute force to suppress resistance and extend control.

Wherever we fight against state repression, we are fighting against a future of war.

In this picture, anarchists march today in Vilnius.

Anarchists are tools, used to create conditions of chaos and darkness where powerful peeps can do dirty deeds. Telling that they're upset about losing ground in one of the most corrupt nations on earth.

Freedom under law!

You have started on the path to freedom. Don't half-ass it. Commit. You're gonna trip and fall--a lot. But slowly progress will be made. And if you trust Christ, you're already free. Accept His full forgiveness. He died for your sins. But just as importantly, He lived perfectly for you. He has washed clean and made perfect all your past. He is using all your broken childhood to make your story beautiful. So trust Him. Trust His love, that He is the only person who knows just how deeply wicked you were, and yet He loved you with abandon, DIED FOR YOU and isn't going to let you fucking go. He literally died for you bro. He's promised to finish the project He started in you. Your mind needs to change before your actions will.

Sorry meant to send this as a 1:1 🤦‍♂️ I am NOT expecting answers publicly here🙃

okay... so I fucked up.

the patterns of "dopamine-craving" have grown stronger over the past week, and I've had more difficulty pushing back and/or sitting with those feelings without acting on them. I've been acting on them.

last night involved a lot of (social) alcohol. but the way my psyche relates to drinking, there's kind of no such thing as "social". maybe a taste or a single delicious drink on a special occasion. but no matter how many friends are taking shots, it's not a good fit for me.

tonight involved more alcohol, to start. it then moved to drug cravings, and I made a number of choices that I would not have made, were I sober tonight. some of these decisions are more reckless and damaging than others. I put my health, happiness, and relationship at risk when I do this.

these types of slips are often catalyzed by drinking, but I also notice that by the time I am in the mood to "drink to get fucked up", something is aready wrong inside me.

I want to not drink, so that I can steer clear of making second-order bad decisions. always chasing that dopamine rush, in its many forms.

but I also think that to truly heal and recover from these vices or addictions or weaknesses or whatever I call them, it needs to start with the underlying "source material".

the "why" along with the "what". im not sure though, and to be honest this path is new for me. usually I impose external limitations when I need to get myself in check. but that doesn't solve or heal those parts of me that actively want to use again tomorrow.

to anyone more experienced with recovery, from any sort of addiction or self-destructive patterns... im aal ears.

holding on, no matter how hard 🤍
