You are here. Using Nostr. If you think ‘anywhere that people congregate turns to shit’ then you are the problem. Good luck to you.
Well, history will tell you that the 'turns to shit' part is inevitable.
not to be a… i don’t know. downer? blackpiller? i honestly don’t believe humans can… 🤔 … no i’ll say it in a different way. everything goes to shit, and gets remade. we just do our best wherever we are on the pendulum swing 😏
i get what you’re saying… but man that goal would have to be stripped down to its absolute essence. Like, “keep nostr freedom preserving”. Which even then will cause all kinds of mortal combat. Something like a nostrtution 🤓
lol. I think people take things too seriously. It's a question worth asking nonetheless. Besides, freedom in its absolute form is chaos.
i don’t know. i just want to talk to cool people in different places, do cool things, help others become more independent, and have the State worshiping meddlers leave me TF alone.
No kidding. I'm halfway there in my quest for absolute independence from the state. I don't even live in a shit country.
Are you sure? Shit hides well
you’re living in one of the most beautiful places in the world 🇨🇭
That I do.. but so is America (assuming you live there). Ultimately it's the people and culture that make the place.
I live on the Olympic Peninsula, north west corner of the U.S., near Canada. It’s also one of the most beautiful places i’ve ever seen. But the old farms around Lake Geneva left a life long impression. Still, Sequim, a town in the rain shadow on the peninsula is pretty close… https://i.nostrimg.com/08992347d4f395da90ce35f5bb1843221f5362e0e7b7cccba4709f9255ed0eb7/file.jpeg https://i.nostrimg.com/15f16ee473aa78aff80cd066605793ecc4eb5ca092f981edc8a987463569ec72/file.jpeg
That is gorgeous. I've driven up the coast from San Diego to Seattle. What a drive that was. I was in Jackson Hole, WY two years ago in autumn and it was as beautiful as it gets. There's no place like home but that came pretty close. That area of Yellowstone, Jackson, Wilson.. beautiful country.
I had a friend who lived in Port Angeles for a while. Loved to visit her and hike the Olympic National Park. Gorgeous area. Thanks for the photos!!! #photography #olympicpeninsula #washingtonstate
