Not rare, but plenty don’t have cars. Public transport is insanely good here and if you live in the city you don’t need one really. When you do, you can rent or use a car sharing service.

I got one now because we had a baby recently and going with a stroller on the train every time is killer, and fitting/removing a car seat from a rental car gets tiring.

But for 9 years I was fine without owning a car. My wife doesn’t even have a license.

On my way out to ibaraki prefecture to pick up a car I just bought. Excited to own a car in Japan #pleblife

It just occurred to me, due to a nostr bug, that it might actually be pretty cool to have social media hide *who authored* the posts on your TL to force a kind of double-blind perspective. You'd know the post or reply is (or probably is) from one of the people you follow, but you wouldn't be so quick to agree (and perhaps might even be more willing to disagree) if you aren't just smashing the heart button as a reflex because you like the guy. It might make discussions more communal and disagreements less personal if you knew that you're still talking to someone you generally like and respect, but you don't know whether it's "that one guy on the internet" or, like, your actual Mom.

(Nostr, due to ramshackle Tor support, often displays notes from people without correctly fetching their profiles for me, so I find myself liking or replying or following people without having any idea as to their nym or avatar)

If you repost this I’ll zap you 1000 sats.

anything nostr or nostr/btc coming up?

One of the most important attributes of Bitcoin

🇬🇧 Thanks! At least I am gonna buy a tripod and make some videos of the landscape.

As I am working all days on the garden I can see the landscape constantly changing because of the Sun, shadow, fog or rain… it’s a medicine for the soul, really.

One of the hardest parts about understanding #Bitcoin is knowing the drastic difference in the quality of life that we would all share after hyperbitcoinization. And then dealing with the emotions associated with almost everyone you know being completely apathetic about it. Seeing how close we are and realizing that people who you thought would be an alley just view you as crazy.

I hate wearing a suit and tie. I taught my son to tie a tie some time ago but he couldn't remember. So I tied it for him. I was doing a simple knot and he says, no I want a Windsor knot. Good grief.
