People consider pets to be equivalent to kids when they don't want to deal with real responsibilities. They have no idea what they're missing out on.

Truly bizarre to compare dogs to children.

Yeah, I don't trade or really follow charts. Just a DCA doggo here who just auto-converts his paychecks into sats.

But I find patterns interesting when they emerge.

I'm not normally a lines guy, but this pattern has been interesting today.

Masculinity is under attack lately. But I like masculinity actually.

I know, shocker.

The fact that so few U.S. presidential or vice presidential candidates have had beards in modern history is funny to me. I think men usually look better with facial hair, and the older they get the more likely that is. 20-somthing or 30-something strong jaw dudes often look great without facial hair. But when men are 50 or 60 or whatever, that salt-and-pepper beard is so rad and almost always beats the no-beard weak-chin look. I actually think it's weird that neither Biden nor Trump have a beard. JD Vance looks like shit without a beard. Growing a beard is the best move he ever made, imo. And yet the media is like, "A vice president candidate with a beard?"

Masculinity can be rough around the edges, but that's what we need sometimes. It's usually balanced by other societal aspects. In some societies it gets extreme and needs to be pushed back on. My husband has a temper, but his temper is part of his power and why he impacts the world to the extent that he does. So when I interact with his temper, it's not about eliminating it, but rather it's about appreciating it but making sure it's directed in the right direction.

Masculinity and femininity are good. They don't need to be forced. Nature is diverse but society tries to categorize nature into narrower categories. Feminine men and masculine women are cool too. But that doesn't change the fact that masculine men and feminine women are also cool.

I grew up kickboxing and submission grappling. I'm a tomboy. I'm a feminist in terms of promoting equal gender rights. But at the end of the day, I appreciate masculine men. I was never attracted to men who were weaker than me in any capacity, but rather was always attracted to men with gravitas.

The easiest approach to life is to 1) respect biology as it is but then 2) also appreciate the divergences that inherently exist within it.

Trying to equalize nature is to fight against it. And yet trying to eliminate the diversify of nature is also to fight against it.

Nature is fascinating, and I do my best to appreciate it.

Going to be on a panel at Cheatcode with a Nostr focus

What was the main reason you decided to start using it?

(If I answer myself, it's the idea of not being censored, ie a content creator cannot be de-platformed... GAMEchanger)

If I shave my own head, I save on hair cuts & shampoo

I asked my wife to describe me in one word and she said “intense”.

I told her I don’t feel intense, I feel very chill.

She told me I was not chill. lol

It’s funny how different our perceptions of ourselves are from the perceptions of those around us.
