My son, if you come to serve the Lord, prepare your soul for temptation. - Wisdom of Sirach 2:1

As soon as the soul starts to love the heavenly realities, as soon as it concentrates with full intensity in view of that intimate peace, then that ancient adversary that was hurled down from heaven senses envy and begins to multiply the pitfalls. He advances temptations more relentless than normally, so that most of all he tempts the soul that resists, as he had never tempted it before when he possessed it. Therefore it is written: "My son, if you present yourself to serve the Lord, stand firm in justice and in fear, and prepare yourself for temptations."

- Gregory The Dialogist

10% was just an example. Return the car in fully working condition and pay $5K is it still worth it for Joe? For a joy ride? I doubt it?

No, I get it now that someone has said it 🙄. Apparently I'll never think of glide the same again... Thanks nostr:npub1yx6pjypd4r7qh2gysjhvjd9l2km6hnm4amdnjyjw3467fy05rf0qfp7kza

You should try it some time. Of course it's fun with a few other women friends and chats too. That's how I ended up doing it one my own, us women did it on Christmas day together. Mine was a mess because I was impatient, so I bought this one to do on my own when I needed a break. 😊🍷

I'm pretty sure my friend nostr:npub1cxp3l03x20mkzezzr4takm8w8zuva7xwvacmcewp97z58hjt8xls3mexlq purple pilled me so y'all could orange pill me and it seems to have worked. 🤔🤣😊

Anyone else like to chillax by sipping wine and paint by number every now and again? Or am I some sort of freak?

I'm happy you are. Techy things is not my forte but human nature is and I appreciate that you're fighting for tech that makes for a better nostr experience. Keep at it 💜💪🏽☺️

#Bitcoin is not just magical internet money, it offers hope when political instability becomes devastatingly dangerous to the individual and society. Myanmar's nostr:npub1xawvry4psemjcx9vxak0zpy9hd90r6mshujskydl0t7rygwqfhksf3ayf9 wrote this piece to shine a light on what it looks like when governments use monetary policy against citizens and the power of bitcoin.

I prefer a punishment that restores the victim to their status before the crime happened and hopefully prevents reoccurances. Steal a TV? Return it with like 10% compensation of it's value. This gets difficult at violence like stabbings or rape though. Sadly, I lean philosophically pacifist though so maybe banishment to a desert or something.. Perhaps that's just the Aussie in me 🤔

All we have to do is stand outside like baby birds when mama bird comes back to the nest? 🤔 I spose I could dig that. Yes let's pass that law, it makes as much sense as feeding criminals with the public purse... Or we could just not serv them any food that their family doesn't bring for them, only give them personal items their family bring them or they work to provide for themselves etc... No one gets a free meal, there's more incentives to not break laws for the imposition on your family and let's face it, manna from heaven was always pretty unlikely, law or not.

To be fair I don't think kids in school should get a free meal either 🤷🏽‍♀️ But criminals definitely shouldn't...

Jacaranda season has begun 😊. I love when the trees and ground are covered in purple. 💜

That's the thing about hanging around the bitcoin community, whenever I see an issue I can assume there's people much smarter than me working on some kind of solution.

It's an attractive part of riding motorcycles to me.. That plus the sheer acceleration one can accomplish.... I once did 190ks in my hubby's car... Was lame and boring... I feel like I'm holding on for dear life at 130 on a bike. I also know my speed without looking at the speedometer on a bike because of how I feel. I have no such knowledge in a car. I have an EV, it really goes but I speed without enjoying it by acident all the time. It's pointless and way less fun. Still a great car just feels like a big go kart.

🤣🤣 Completely different feel too. A motorbike feels like an extention of me... Cars don't have the same feel.

It's not like I haven't observed the fruit of his changes and wondered the same.

My license says I can but I learnt about 7 years ago I can't... I can ride motorbikes though. 🤔😂
