What's something that gives you hope in humanity?

Me? I've got none...

Replying to Nobody

"We're friends"

Coming from someone who I had considered my best friend and who I'd been happy to finally meet someone I got along so well with. Actions back then prove it wrong and still are and I'm the one who hurts every time I think about it 💔😞

Is it better to be rich or loved?

Best to be loved by a rich man 🤔

I'm not cool and also not gay.

Whatever you say mate. 🙄

What a gay thing to say

Pretty sure nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh is cool... Not gay

Open North Korea up to the world and get out of the country so I couldn't be killed by my own people but take as many riches as I coudk with me... We all know former warlords and dictators don't suffer the justice they deserve at all unless it's directly in the hands of the people they oppressed and killed.

But this may be tainted by the fact that I have a super soft spot for North Koreans

If you were Kim Jung Un, what would you do?

Yeah, but who defines what is the bible?

Doesn't bother me... I've read the Bible lots and a bunch of the other hebrew texts from the second temple period.

I don't know much about early church history, but my understanding is that councils came together and discovered which texts churches across large swaths of territory were using in common and compiled them into what we now know as the orthodox Bible... Maybe the catholics have the same one? I dunno, I was raised protestant and don't know much.

Good morning hug for you dear #nostriches at the #coffechain

Hope you enjoy your magic brew.

It's evening here and I'm enjoying a grape based magic brew 😏

I don't trust the church, neither one man.

That makes it even harder for me to trust the bible.

I find it easier to trust the Bible than any one man... People in communities lived and died to keep the words of God... Now any one man who wants to interpret them for me is suspect under lots of conditions.

No you’re not doomed. Just get your foot in the door somewhere. Could be an internship or friends workplace or parents connection. Make sure to keep tabs with everyone you work with and exchange contact details.

Of course, not every person you work with you are going to get along with but try to. Just see every new person your meet/work with as opportunity to learn from.

If you approach people with the idea that you are smarter or better than them then they are less likely to respond positively to you.

If you focus on your job these relations happen naturally, it doesnt feel forced. Everyone is in the same boat trying to figure out the game of life and get ahead. Once you understand this you will want cooperate with everyone you work with for future success of your career.

Hope im making sense.

Thanks for the great advice... I really don't know anyone. The one family member who has a high position in the UN is way too professional and woke, but he always said I could get a job in foreign affairs with my international experience... Wait I was offered an internship in South Korea... Too bad it was for the UN organisation that monitors emissions outputs in 37 already impoverished nations, making it basically the most immoral work I could imagine doing with my degree 😑

I've never wanted to tarnish my conscience for pay even if there's some aspects of all of the above which could be awesome.

A funny thought! And we might be surprised. But Kim's friendship probably has too high a price.

SK did some very interesting work in the 80s on laser enrichment. Unlike gas centrifuges, lasers are not that closely watched. 1000 sats says they have working nukes three months after breaking up with USA.

Which is really not that impressive a timeframe, I guess.

I'm not particularly scared of a nuclear armed South.. But then I can say "don't shoot me" in Korean 🤣

I don't know... The North has been trying for what... 12 years?

Despite insincere assurances to the contrary, there are two classes of nation-states.

(a) Those who have nukes and sovereignty.

(b) Those who do not.

I'll grant there is a grey zone inhabited by Japan, Taiwan, maybe South Korea where they've had the blueprints for years, and have the components built, but haven't tested and play along at being non-nuclear good citizens.

Everyone else needs a nuclear Daddy, and they need to keep him very happy.

If the US fails South Korea, they can always buddy up with the North 🤷🏽‍♀️

The biggest lie young adults get told nowadays is they need straight As and lots of work experience with an amazing resume.

From my experience, for myself and observing people I went to university with is that its all about “who you know”.

I know people who got terrible grades in high school but are way ahead of me because their parents had great connections.

And I know people who have Masters degrees and/or 2 degrees who can’t find a job.

So yeh I learned the hard way that university scam (Wasted 4 years of my life getting a degree in Economics) for the vast majority of cases. *Exceptions include engineering, computer science, medicine, etc.

Now with Youtube tutorials, ChatGPT and other AI tools you can learn almost anything you want very quickly with the right prompts.

Its got nothing about how smart you are or skilled you are or how much experience you have. Yes it helps

All that matters is who you know and having a good attitude. Most importantly, have some faith in yourself.

Maybe this advice is obvious to a lot of people but I only recently figured this out. 😅 nostr:note1n4rh7mvndur772pp7skx0qc4qrpycum7mf775skcwv6ljtt5ycvqv7qtag
