Lol. Yea... we're all autistic.


Lol. Since it's just us weirdos speaking, I have to ask: do any of you talk to yourself every now and then? I definitely don't... 😏


Tbh, I'm not surprised. As curious as I am to hear the details, I'm also a bit scared. 😅


I can't deny it. I find myself engaging socially more frequently through the use of Nostr than IRL. That doesn't mean there has been a complete reduction of face-to-face interaction. There are still certain friends that I see every week. It's just that most people aren't interested in talking in-depth about well... anything, really. They would rather go on and on about working out... or how bad traffic is... or the weather. 😑 If ya want to know what the weather is just look out a damn window.


FYI, timezones might cause some issues.


So... nothing new? 😅


Please do. I'm curious about these nests. How many people were in the one I missed?


Lol. Another TikTok barbie version of Stella.

Are single mothers bound to be single mothers forever?

Wishing this question asked on Reddit before but when a single mother asks if guys make single moms, the majority of the responses are that they are not interested in single mothers unless it's a hit it and quit it situation.

That it's a huge turnoff and I quote "I'm not gunna raise another man's kids"

Everyone has their preferences of course and there's nothing wrong with that especially if you're single and have no kids.

But it just seems like there's a lot of hate towards them I guess.

 Our single mothers destined to be single forever and never have a relationship again?

I want to hear nostr:npub1qfkcklnmes45z75y7y8dkud5yll8vp5eq5ysk9rmgqdxeasv8unsrfj6kq's answer to this.


When I say "normie" I'm referring to people who are constantly trying to fit in with the herd. Those who are terrified of embracing and fortifying whatever unique qualities they may possess and going against the curve. When it comes to social interaction, it basically means anything. A normies ignorance becomes unbearably transparent after being orange pilled. 🤷♂


Resting bastard face. But, yea...


Wearing the facade of a normie is unfathomably taxing.


Same, bro!!! 🤣


Ngl, I find this creepy. 😅


I use nostrudel quite a bit, but mainly for making communities. But yea, amethyst seems to be top dawg.


Am I the only one that feels this way?

When it comes down to the Nostr apps or the progressive web apps for some reason I just keep coming back to amethyst.

 Is there a Noster app that you just keep coming back to even though there's so many options?

 It's weird it's like I can't get used to any other ones and since they all don't have the same features I end up going back to the one that has the most features I guess I don't know.

What do you think?

Lol. I'm just seeing it now. Didn't even know a nest happened.


As I've said before, I believe many nostr users are autistic.


You're absolutely right! But, I do think they need to care. Their complacency has put placed them in the unfortunate situation that they're in, right now.


To be blunt, people REALLY don't give a fuck! 🤷♂


Trust me. It's lonely for guys, too. Most "friends" are not genuine friends. That's the sad truth. I've never been one to follow trends either. I find it exhausting. It's very sad to see, though. People would rather embrace trends than fulfill whatever potential they may have.


Followed, btw.


🫂 That's true. My friend often feels this way. So does my cousin. Most women just don't seem interested in embracing what uniqueness they have. They want to keep up with whatever pop culture trends are being adopted.

Which are becoming increasingly rare. Thank you social media. FYI, I don't mean for this to sound bias in any way. Social media can be used beneficially.


Yup. I can't think of any woman who would hold any level of desire for the "men" of the newest generations.


I agree. They're just so damn sensitive to EVERYTHING! Can't even offer them some constructive criticism without them being on the verge of tears. 🙄


In all seriousness, it has become too easy to make money as a sex worker. Observe how it's affected Gen Z. You now have a large and young male population who are either too afraid or have no idea how to approach a woman. I can't help but be curious as to how they'll be as parents. 🤔

I understand that, and I agree. But, it doesn't mean that the recognition of such emotions isn't present. The fact that women are inherently more concordant with their emotions grants them the ability to better hide such things. I believe this will change in due time, though. This seems to be a generational matter. Millenials and Gen Z were just babied too damn much.


The ability to disassociate seems to be a much easier task amongst men. We're just not as in tune with our emotions as women are.


I do to a degree. Men are wired differently. Perhaps that's why autism is more often diagnosed amongst men. 🤔


Guys don't seem to mature as quickly as they used to. Take the WWII era for instance. You had 17 year olds who lied about their age to enlist to fight on the frontlines. A year or two later they would return home as hardened men. My grandpa did this. He fought in two wars before he reached 25. "Men" nowadays are babied by their parents (who pay for everything) and terrified of taking even the smallest of risks. Honestly, I'm very disappointed in my generation and Gen Z.


I'm fairly certain that my cousin (whom I mentioned in a previous post) who works as a mainframe programming manager for PNC is autistic. Yet, she's never been diagnosed. She's very hyperactive, easily bored around people, and VERY perfectionistic. Lol. Also, women hate her. A single, HIGHLY intelligent, and pretty brunette who's constantly stealing all the attention from her "dumb blonde" coworkers. 🤣🤷♂ Being an alpha woman ain't easy!


I've always been curious about this, tbh.


I don't believe the statistics that say autism is more common among men. Personally, I think autism is just severely underdiagnosed in women. 🤔


It was purely circumstantial, tbh. It was back in 2020 RIGHT AFTER the stock market crashed during the COVID lockdown. All the megacap stocks crashed. So, it was a goldmine! I did some trading and short term investing in smaller cap stocks, as well, and simply accumulated mass amounts of capital to make a significant Bitcoin investment. That's it!

Lol. I mean... she's spot on. 🤷♂😏 I'm 32, and I'm mostly attracted to older women. Can't deny it. From my experience, the same goes vice versa alot of the time too, though.


LOL!!! I've always wondered that, too! They're definitely repulsed by most of their clients. How could they not be?! But... they get paid good money to fake it. 🤷♂


That term!!! It gets me EVERY TIME! 🤣 The mere thought of its existence cracks me up. It's sad to see incels in abundance among the Gen Z generation. Their habitual use of social media seems to have eradicated the skills gained from face-to-face flirting for many of them. They're such an odd generation. 🤔


Should overestimation really come off as a surprise when receiving paychecks that big. Lol. It's the clients' fault for overinflating that ego of hers. I used to see alot of escorts at the restaurant I used to work at. Bunch of 70 year-old men on dates with these absolutely gorgeous 25 year-old blondes. 🤣 Always a funny sight to behold.


I figured it was a relay issue. Which small relays are you referring to?


There are two powerful new ideas I gained during my trip to #nostrasia and I think they are important primitives that I can build on:

1. Protecting property is necessary because property is finite. Intellectual property should not be protected by patent laws because the use of an idea does not diminish nor deplete the value of the idea. Ideas are infinite and do not get consumed. In fact, network effects may increase their value.

2. It's very difficult for a digital system to know with certainty where you are physically located on the planet because you can easily lie to sensors in your device. Whatever signal your GPS sensor sends is blindly trusted by your device; bypassing the sensor allows you to send any signal you want. There is no validation. However, #cyberspace creates a digital system where you can only exist in one location at any given time because it is validated, and since the opportunity cost of being in any given location excludes all others, this makes the location you occupy much more certain and real than simply trusting a sensor.

Honestly, I'm very impatient when it comes to social interaction with most people (normies). I find them intolerable. Luckily, I'm good at putting on a facade. I always get the feeling that some people suspect it, hence why they seem intimidated some of the time.

I am fortunate and really freaking lucky. While being brief about where I've been and what I've done......take my word for it. In my personal opinion, there are no winners in war.
The inevitable conclusion is that one side loses less the the other. There are rarely ever real winners. This is why it is so important to send grown ups to the Rich Men North of Richmond instead of the loud clowns and their "free" gifts.

Stella, if you haven't read Ivan Illich's Shadow Work, you might enjoy it. A brief (imperfect) synopsis: one of the unquestioned changes in modern society is the outsourcing of tasks and roles that used to be handled within a family or community. When those tasks are entrusted to a professional class and only performed by "experts," there are a lot of negative second and third-order effects.

How many of you married ladies have a dower (property held in your own name) or how many of your wives do, men?

Just curious.


True.

Einstein understood this concept very well. As did Nikola Tesla.


It still blows my mind that people believe in scientology. 🤣 You might as well think Star Wars is non-fiction.


Yes, but it has been proven that the effect remains causal.

When they do "couples help" for unmarried, lower-income couples, they sometimes track the couples for decades afterward and they find that those who subsequently married are more likely to still be together (which means they didn't suffer the huge financial setback of a breakup), have higher combined incomes, more property, and lower living costs.

The marriage itself leads to wealth.


Disproving malicious causes of the gender wage gap

Claudia Goldin just won the Nobel Prize for Economics, for her life achievement of defining why womens' wages consistently lag behind mens'.

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2023/summary/


Claudia Goldin actually just won the Nobel Prize in Economics for proving that womens' labor-market participation is an effect of the structure of the labor market and not an effect of any prejudice or the Evuhl Patriarchy.

Agricultural markets and post-industrial markets tend to have more female employment than industrial ones.

https://image.nostr.build/f521facfc0cfc3204dc4c871c2c796cb54a6bfc2556123c6356182f5c75af243.png


Lol! Seriously. I just sent a link. 🤣😮💨


I actually think women will begin moving back out of the public labor market because the purchase of "household services" (educating children, nursing the sick and disabled, caring for the elderly, cooking and cleaning, etc.) is becoming so difficult to find and expensive to purchase that more and more men will want their wife, or other female relative, to conduct those duties.

Also, as crime rises, the security cost of wives traveling out to work or children traveling to schools, also rises. Everyone needs to drive everywhere in a car and cars are expensive.


Just type in "ClassicalMusic" and it should show up.


Yes, because the costs aren't simply one-to-one with the labor. You have infrastructure and rents, insurance, training and benefits and taxes, etc. Also, the homemaker is performing more than one task for a handful of dependents (educating, feeding, chauffering, sickcare, comfort, etc.) whereas the care-worker, busdriver, teacher, nurse, cafeteria worker, etc. is providing one task to many dependents.

I think so much infrastructure, knowledge, resources, etc. is now so low-cost to attain that the economies of scale are losing value. Even things like medical devices can now be administered at home, or with outpatient services.

Decentralization.

"Whatever the fuck zionist is" 🤣🤣🤣


Why?

I know a fair amount of atheist and agnostic families whose kids turned out very successful and happy. And have kids of their own.


I could never wrap my head around catholicism. I still can't.


So, you understand why I'm an atheist. Atheism is MY CHOICE even though I was raised Catholic. When I have kids they can choose whatever religion they want to be a part of. Simple as that. 👍


Honestly, I just want to have kids and prepare them for the difficulties that life will randomly throw at them. I had to experience many of these challenges at far too young an age to know that it's something to be joked about.


I like to do it in a sauna at my gym. Whatever pose I'm comfortable with. No need to be picky. I find the extreme heat creates tension and forces me to try harder and focus my thoughts while listening to the practice videos. As for the effects, it helps keep away any unnecessary stress and focus on whatever I may have to do that day. Easier to deal with people, as well. Tbh, I can be very impatient when it comes to dealing with people (from my years as a manager).


In what context?

Lol. This is fun.


The meditation keeps me at peace without the involvement of God. It's really as simple as that.


When it comes to religion, nothing. I don't see it as a necessity.


This I can agree with 100%! The meditation DOES work just fine. So... 🤷♂


🤣🤣🤣

Just forget about him.


Which I felt that guy was describing.


If you want to be religious that's fine. It's a whole other thing to believe in sci-fi and fantasy novels.


Can we just forget about him, please? 😒


I have one question for everyone: how are you certain prayer does anything?


Doesn't matter. It never did anything for me.


It's just the strict adherence to religious texts that I don't understand. Even when I went to a Catholic elementary school I would feel absolutely nothing when we prayed. 🤷♂


Now THIS I can understand because I do daily meditation.


Well, everyone loves a hellthread.


How did quantum physics bring you there? 🤔


Quantum physics?! That's interesting to hear. 🤔

Yup...


You're right. It does sound crazy. Which is why I refuse to believe it.


I know about all this. Since I quit my job it's opened my eyes to this. That was three years ago.


I think anyone who is in a religion is a cultist to a degree, tbh. Why do you think I'm such a staunch atheist? It's impossible to avoid religious people, at this point. Doesn't mean I have to follow their beliefs.


Lol. It isn't. It's what I choose. Just because I'm an atheist doesn't mean I think the world is gonna end.


I did a few weeks ago in NYC. Not that bad.


It isn't.


I agree. Are you saying Stella is a cultist?


We weren't saying that. I have nothing against Christians or any religion, tbh. I'm talking about religious followers who feel like it's their duty to kill anyone who doesn't abide by their beliefs.


I have alot of free time. Retired 32 year old. Lives alone. All his friends don't get out of work till around 5 p.m., then they need to commute back. That takes anywhere from 45 mins to an hour. Depends on traffic. They're always beat when they get back. I really only have time to hang on the weekends.

Okay. But, that's only YOUR experience.

I'm an atheist. So, I try to avoid religious women, tbh. They're exhausting. Think they're right about almost everything. I'm not getting into this topic. Sorry, nostr:npub1qfkcklnmes45z75y7y8dkud5yll8vp5eq5ysk9rmgqdxeasv8unsrfj6kq

I've never even had a credit card. EVER. They just always seemed like scams to me.


As a friend I want to keep her around forever. Past trauma has affected both of us deeply. Romantic relationships are especially tough for both of us, tbh.


I see this kind of behavior with my generation alot too. I'm very disappointed in them. Mainly the men, tbh. 🤔 From what I've observed, the men seem more likely to live with their parents into their thirties compared to the women. I've seen so many men my age who drive around brand new Audi SUVs and pickup trucks, and motorcycles, and I can't help but think "Bruh, you're a personal trainer who has only two clients! How are you paying for all this?!" 🤣


Indeed, it is.


Lol. I'm asking you if you think it would be a good idea to ask her to move in. That way she won't have to pay over 2k a month in rent. But, I just don't know how that would affect us since we're dating.


Lol. What part confused ya?


Are they being serious?! 🤣🤨


This is what I meant, though. I should have clarified more. I'm aware that salaries have done a fairly good job with increase. But, my issue is the skyrocketing living costs outpacing the salaries boosts. Even if you make a low six-figure salary nowadays, there's a good chance you'll still struggle.

https://image.nostr.build/e72202247105ab3b0383f7347d32f2a3861655be7537ab9621b18c65d94edf3f.jpg


It's a bit different for me. I live in a middle-class neighborhood. But, people are always baffled by how I have my own property and everything.

Let me list the reasons:

1. I already had a six figure income for a short time (a little over two years) during the COVID lockdown.
2. Stocks crashed. So, I started trading and doing some short term investing.
3. Multiplied everything. Wasn't easy but it worked. 🤷♂
4. Threw 90% into Bitcoin. Been sitting on it ever since.
5. The friend I'm dating has also started buying BTC lately. Although, knowhere near as much as me. But, it's a start and I'm happy for her.
6. She does make a six figure salary and lives alone like me.

Do you see where I'm going with this?


Not to mention that they were also thrown into an era of sky high tax rates, food prices, housing prices etc.


It seems more rare for kids of the Gen Z generation to get a six-figure salary than any other previous generation.


This describes a big percentage of Gen Z.


LOL! Yea, it would seem so! 🤣

Having a good amount of wealth while single can make it unbearably difficult to find a trustworthy partner! Just sayin'!


Dating is an enormous pain on the ass nowadays.


LOL! Because I was being serious.


Lol. Did you put the wrong emojis yesterday when we spoke about dating? I was wondering that.


You see, my situation is a bit different:

1. Have my own house ✅
2. Money's not an issue ✅
3. Have a lot of freetime ✅


So parenting isn't expensive but it IS stressful?! 😅


Interesting. See, I was raised by a widowed mother since I was nine. I agree, it should be avoided if possible. It's a long story. I'll give you the short version. Dad died. Mom was depressed for awhile. She still did a good job raising me and everything. But, I became the caretaker for a short time. It's interesting because as I reflect on my life, I don't feel as though it was "bad" per se. Taught me independence VERY early on. Definitely didn't help with building long-term romantic relationships. And there's something about that independence that people have a tendency to get jealous of. 🤷♂🤔


What are your thoughts on single parenting?


2? Lol. I somehow doubt that.

Question: on a scale of 1-10 how expensive are two kids to raise?


Here's the thing, and I've tried explaining this so many times to normies: if you own bitcoin, you simultaneously own an asset and a currency, it also gives you access to a much better trade network. If wealthy people, like us, are feeling the impact of all these price increases, then imagine the long-term impact they will have on those who don't own a single sat. Especially, the middle-class. You also have to consider college students who choose to major in fields like economics. They don't seem to realize or care that the Keynesian crap they teach you is the basis for the monetary system that's currently falling apart.


Lol. But, what would we do without the government?!


Bidenomics is clearly working. 👍👏


How expensive?


Agree with you on the quality and quantity.

MORE expensive?! That's weird to me. 🤔


Yup!

And let's not get into gas prices.


Around where I live it seems as though frozen food got the smallest price increases. It's all nuts! A whole wheat loaf of bread used to cost $4.99 a little over a year ago. Now, it's $7.99.


Makes sense. Cheaper to outsource labor in those continents. 🤷♂


I can manage. It's not that difficult because I live alone. But still... for one person I feel like that's quite a bit. And yea, it's gonna get much worse before it gets better. 👌

It's getting hard to find good quality chicken, too! At least, it is around my area. Smh.

We could see some kind of civil conflict erupt in the U.K.

Also, they can't survive with fiat either! 😅


I think Wales might secede from the U.K. Ireland might unify and do the same. I don't think England will risk letting Scotland have their independence.


Personally, I don't think Gaza will exist after this. Iraq and Iran could possibly merge. Not sure what to make of China. They'll definitely see an increased level of internal conflict in the short term. Not sure if we'll see a civil war of sorts. But, we'll see. The Saudis might force a merge with Kuwait. Not sure about Argentina. Brazil will see a secession of multiple states. Texas might secede from the U.S.

I can't seem to find much info on this, but does Germany outsource much of it's labor force like the U.S.? If so, from which countries mainly?


Happy Birthday nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z


I agree. They're just lazy. They want to enjoy their retirement, and my cousin, who lives with my uncle, is just some spoiled brat who wants no responsibilities whatsoever.


What makes their whole situation even more nonsensical is the fact that my uncles are retired. They're fairly wealthy and my one uncle has his daughter (who works like 20 hours a week) living with him. There's always going to be someone around to take care of my grandmother. But, they would rather waste over 100k a year on subpar nursing care. 🤷♂


I'm, honestly, not surprised by this. A huge amount of U.S. labor is outsourced these days. Take India and the IT industry, for example. Indian citizens make up the vast majority of that workforce. The thing is that many immigrants (many of whom are here on work visas) don't care how much the U.S. dollar gets devalued because most of them were born and raised in poverty stricken areas anyway, so any living condition the U.S. provides them with seems superior. Ironically, the mass immigration that all this outsourcing has led to has only further devalued the dollar, so these immigrants have basically screwed themselves over, as well.


This is true. My grandmother is in a nursing home and the amount of money my uncles have to spend per month is staggering. Last year alone they spent 88k and that cost has only increased.

I'm sorry to hear that, man. I really am. But, like I said, there's nothing we can do. Focus on helping your family escape the country, at least until the conflict ends. But, we can't stop the nation's leaders from waging war. 🤷♂


Buddy, both sides do.

Yes, I agree. Individual liberty is necessary for a functioning society, but the cold hard truth is that there's nothing we can do to stop the current conflict. Don't concern yourself with this. Worry about your own well-being and your own future. You're just mentally caging yourself by worrying about something that is completely out of your control. 🤷♂

He's very awkward when he interacts with other characters. At least, when it comes to emotional situations. But when it comes to practical matters, like that scene when he kills those two hitmen in the motel, he's very focused and doesn't seem to be bothered, at all.


Honestly, I also think he's autistic.


It's not just about him being afraid, though. Dude... he's a criminal. His whole characterization is him being an anti-hero.


Again, there is a special type of chemistry that comes from two strong silent types being together. LOL! I'm not saying that we're mutes. But, you get my point.


From my experience, the men who have to boast about having "confidence" usually have the least... if any. 🤷♂


But... the strong silent type is not just a stereotype.


That's true. We still gotta get to know each other. But... it's just a movie. It ain't meant to be realistic.


I get where you're coming from. But, I've been on dates with women who are as equally quiet as me. There is a distinct type of chemistry that comes from people who share that quality. A rare type of comfort.


Paprika was very interesting!

Yeah, debt-based economies seem to result in young men lying flat and young women spending all day shopping and filling out spreadsheets.


You have made my day! 🤣👏👏👏


Worked 👌


This is what happens when you have a debt fueled economy. China hoped that the countries who are indebted to them would pay them back. Now, they're learning the hard way that those countries never intended to. And their own citizens are PISSED! The Chinese government enslaved them for nothing. 🤷♂


So it’s time to share an update on all the kindness shown to me with my teeth fundraiser. ❤

Nostr raised a little over $2300 towards my teeth in about 48 hours. I spent most of the first day in a mixture of shock and tears over all the very concrete love and help offered by people online.

This is enough money that I may be able to get the worst parts of my mouth done first, which would end the cycle of infection. It also greatly reduces the amount of debt and expense that will be put on my family to get this done, and will be the beginning of the end of 20 years of pain and embarrassment.

I cannot thank the people who pitched in enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart though. Nostr revives my faith in the goodness of people so often. This is truly a special place.

In my own style of weird, I am naming some of my extractions after some of the people who pitched in. They can opt to get pictures of their tooth after they are pulled. 🤣

I will post regular updates as treatment progresses.

❤❤❤❤❤

Your belief is firmly justified. China had a good run. But, let's be honest, they abused their power for far too long. 🤷♂


So... China's a lost cause? 😅 And western nations are just terrified that they might nuke us?


I believe that eventually the U.S. will throw Taiwan under the bus due to the huge amount of revenue we gain from TSM. In other words, we'll just be handing over one of our largest semi suppliers over to China. We just haven't found a reliable supplier to compensate for the potential supply loss. The same goes for oil. These conflicts in Ukraine and Israel are just a means to gain profit to pay pack China and Russia. They were never meant to benefit the U.S.


Can you clarify a bit more?


I think the U.S. is just using these conflicts as a way to pay back China. To avoid getting nuked. It's all fucked.


🎯

As long as war is waged with currencies that have no value, than it becomes pointless. There's no genuine profit.


Important! ⬇

https://youtu.be/VF3epHp-pOo?feature=shared


But, that's the thing. The elites are the ones who determine when and where to wage war. They believe that they're the only ones who matter.


But, here's the thing... the whole motive for waging has changed entirely over the past century. It went from being used as a means for gaining independence to being used as an economic market. 🤷♂


She ain't wrong...


Again, none of this means anything. It just confirms that they weren't making enough profit from the Healthcare systems, COVID vaccinations, and agricultural market. So, they decided to wage war as a means of profit.


There's a good chance you might be right. Western countries know that they can't pay China and Russia back. So, they're using war as a means of profit. Also, TSM is a HUGE semi supplier for the U.S. So... the U.S. might be throwing them under the bus.


None of this matters. That's the harsh reality. The higher the population, the more war profit. That's the way it is.


Perhaps I'm being a bit biased here too but Stella seems to be right. What TheSameCat here is describing a form of centralization. Isn't this what we're trying to avoid?


Idk. It's complicated. I will say this, though: it's the best feeling in the world when you tell a woman that you love her and she says it back. It's hard to accept.


I don't doubt it.


Watching this convo intensely. I'm simultaneously excited and terrified of having kids.

No religion/faith/belief, whatever you want to call it, can tame human barbarism. It has only been able to suppress it.

Shitty people simply one up each other and eventually cancel each other out. If you are in the middle of that clusterfuck, there is always that option to remove one’s self out of the equation if one has the will to do it.


Steve Jobs died a billionaire at 56 years of Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:
"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes my life is an epitome of success.
However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and
wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.
Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".
When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life.”
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat yourself well. Cherish others.
As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that —
wearing a $300 or $30 watch - they both tell the same time...
Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same;
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and distance is the same, and we get to the same destination.
Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - the hangover is the same;
Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq ft - loneliness is the same.
You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - you go down with it…
Therefore.. I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth, .... That is true happiness!!
Five Undeniable Facts of Life :
1. Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.
2. Best awarded words in London ... "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."
3. The One who loves you will never leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on.
4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human.
Only a few really understand it.
5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage!
NOTE: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!

I can't argue with that. But, mistakes were made on both sides. The high level of cultural intolerance and misunderstanding led to increasingly frequent periods of conflict. The First Anglo-Powhatan War for instance. The point I'm trying to make is that it wasn't just the Brits fault.


If you want to create an effective long-lasting empire you need to be capable of committing acts of great good and great cruelty. Of course, neither should be done without reason. Also, I would never say that they failed to mimic strategies of other empires. More like showing recognition of the faults of those empires and choosing not to repeat.


Speaking of 4th turning, I'm supposed to get Mr. Howe's book delivered today.


You're spot on. I'm 32, so I'm a millenial, and I have to say that it wasn't like this when I was growing up. Culture nowadays IS purely based on hopelessness. What makes this even worse is that people don't seem to care about looking for a solution. Idk. 🤷♂

Hello, #nostriches!

Would you be interested in BTC art and/or jewelry?

I have some experience in jewelry making, and access to some rather cool tools at work.

I was thinking earings, necklaces, and bracelets.

For art, I could do things from tiny to up to ~5' (~150cm). Wall art, signs, etc. Keeping them smaller makes shipping easier, but, I work at a place that can freight the big stuff.

First runs would be made from stainless, mostly 304, though I can get 316 if you're extra picky.

I am open to collaborative designs.

Eventually, if this takes off, I could cast precious metals.

It wouldn't shock me if those two countries nuke each other into oblivion. Although, I hope that's not the outcome. 😅


Honestly, I haven't been keeping up much with that whole situation. It's just too damn depressing. Have the military casualty reports been high?


I agree with you on certain points. Yes, a saeculum is most certainly a by-product of various forms of generational interaction. No doubt. I do think a boomer will be elected as the next president, and arguably the last of their generation. I don't think the military body count will be very high during the next global war. Drone tech has made it far too easy to cause mass damage.

It's as Nikola Tesla said:

"The loss of life will become smaller and smaller, and finally, the number of the individuals continuously diminishing, merely machines will meet in a contest without blood shed, the nation's being simply interested, ambitious spectators. When this happy condition is realized, peace will be assured."

And this is exactly what we're seeing now.


Just finished the interview. Great interview. Neil was right about most things, imho. But hear me out; this is why I think this new cycle will occur sooner than expected:

1. Technology has been speeding up the process of progression at an immensely fast rate in MANY different markets. Just do some research on the biotechnology, AI, energy, auto, and advertising markets. Even warfare (yes, war is a market. Let's not deny that).

2. Obviously, global economic crisis has reached a boiling point. It's at a point of no return and the global population is certainly aware of that. The COVID lockdown only sped up the process.

3. Personally, I don't believe that the current world leaders have faith in themselves. They keep telling the public these dreadful truths, and I don't see why they would make these known if their goal is to gather support from their national population. It doesn't make sense. For example, look at what the President of Egypt recently told the public.

Personally, I think all of this will happen well before 2030. Wouldn't shock me if most of it happens during the next election. Technology seems to be significantly speeding up the process. You're definitely correct about things getting worse in the short-term. No argument there.


Gonna order this now. Appreciate it.

I just want to say that I find it a funny coincidence that you went through one of the last all male basics because I literally went through the last basic ever when I went to military school. Too many complaints from student's parents. Kids have no balls nowadays. Smh.


Lol. I like these discussions. LOL! We can always count on Stella! 🤣


That's true. We could just fly in supplies.


That's a fair point. I went to military school and I can't deny that women were often a distraction. Ya can't stop us guys from being horny. 🤷♂


Here's the thing, I'm not so sure if it was because women becoming soldiers brought forth the introduction of a new social environment within the military or if it was because male soldiers have yet to acclimate to the situation. 🤷♂


Well, yea, that's why I was saying that the location is crucial. Read about the history of Carthage and compare it to the Greek city-states.


No


Well said, man! You've proven me wrong. Impossible to deny that. 👏👏👏


But, what if they want to fight? Do you suppress their desire to do so?


That seems impossible, though. An independent city such as that would need supply lines. Of course, this also depends on the location.


Please elaborate.


🤔 Thoughts?

Agree and disagree on certain points. They shouldn't be fighting. They should be soldiers. Of course, they should have to worry about their self-defense. No one can escape the ruthlessness of life.

If women are fighting, it doesn't mean their men have lost. It means that humanity has only come closer to perfecting the art of war, to the point where women are arguably considered equals on the battlefield. It's very easy to pull a trigger.

I'm a total newb when it comes to communities and related things, so this may sound stupid, but doesn't this approval process defeat the purpose?


nostr:npub1qfkcklnmes45z75y7y8dkud5yll8vp5eq5ysk9rmgqdxeasv8unsrfj6kq It's just a joke. 🙄🤣


And brothels! Lots and lots of brothels! 😬


This whole approval process is irritating. 😑


Theoretically, that could work. Nostr already has clients for retail, news, and obviously other communication-related purposes. 🧐


True. The mere concept of this is progress in itself.


That second one can be an issue at times.


Doesn't seem like they're making much progress. We'll see what happens.


Unorthodox, prideful, and loyal.

Follow people because they’re interesting to you, they open up your mind to unfamiliar things..

NOT because they share the same exact opinions as you, or look the same as you.

How fucking boring is that?

I would like to add that if they're jealous of you, it means you've accomplished something they can't.

If you don't have enemies, it's because you've never uttered anything true or meaningful in your life.

I prefer Lambos

Lucky ladies!


Staying single isn't in the playbook. I want a wife and kids someday.


Be your own woman!

Jeez, I hate statements like that.


You ain't a loser. And I'm workin' on it. Trust me. 😅


Nah, I was saying that being told that it's all about the money was the worst advice I've ever received.


Of course, I'm better than last year. The past three years have been incredible for the most part! And you're right. It is unhealthy. But, I can't stop them from viewing me in such a way. I worked hard on achieving my goals. I achieved them and they haven't. That's their problem. I wasn't trying to suggest that I go out of my way to look for enemies.


Too much beer and potatoes last night?


Meh. Fuq 'em! 🤷♂


What makes this even funnier is that if you say even the smallest thing against the topic of discussion like "don't you guys wanna talk about something else for once?" or something along those lines, they all turn against you.

"What's your problem, bro?! Why are you being such a dick, bro?! What's with the hostility, bro?!" 😅🙄


The last one. The point I'm trying to make here is that finding good quality friends is a far more difficult task than people understand.


Lol. The gardner?


As strange as it may sound, I actually find something pleasantly fulfilling about having enemies. People have a tendency to view you as an enemy if their jealous of you for some reason. I had to go through this after I quit my job.


I know the feeling. It's the same with guys. Talking about football (which I know nothing about and have no interest in), working out, baseball etc. 😑 How many times do you need to explain how to do a bicep curl?!


Right?! 😒


Yup. There are always going to be people who will try and take advantage of the kindness that you show them, as a means to benefit themselves. Life ain't no fairytale.


Lol. Is that why you're always referring to yourself as a boomer even though you're only 43.


Lucky you. You learned early.


Narcissism has become the norm.


No, I don't speak Korean. Always wanted to visit Busan. I've always imagined it being like a South Korean version of San Francisco. 😁


Lol. Trust me. I don't look it.


Ya see the nice thing about both of us being introverted is that it doesn't feel like we have to "keep up" with each other.


Where in South Korea? I'm actually part Korean myself. Never been there, though.


Despite how talkative I may seem on here, I'm super introverted, as well. Man, I hate the stereotypes attached to introversion. My friend that I just started dating is quite introverted, too. Yes, it's pretty damn awkward. Don't get me started. But, the fact that we're both introverted is nice. Can't deny that. It's very comforting.


Please do! Would love to hear about your travels.


First of all, I always recommend
https://pocket-concierge.jp/en
to friends because he really is the best and can get you just about any reservation you need.

How many days will you be there? I have not been in ages, but if I had a few days there this would be my schedule…

Day 1
- Breakfast: Sukiyabashi Jiro - Known from the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". It's primarily a sushi place, but if you go early, it can be a very nice way to start the day.
- Morning: Private shopping at Ginza - Tokyo's upscale shopping district.
- Ceremonial Tea: HOSHINOYA Tokyo - Traditional tea ceremony in the heart of Tokyo. https://hoshinoya.com/tokyo/en/experience/japanese-tea-ceremony/
- Must Do: Helicopter Tour - See Tokyo from above.
- Lunch: Ryugin - A 3-star Michelin restaurant with a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese dishes.
- Must See: The Imperial Palace - While you can't enter the main palace, the East Gardens are open to the public and are beautifully maintained.
- Dinner: Kanda - A 3-star Michelin restaurant. Chef Kanda offers multi-course meals featuring seasonal and traditional ingredients.

Day 2
- Breakfast: Tsuta - World's first Michelin-starred ramen eatery. A unique experience to have ramen for breakfast, but it’s also good for lunch, just has a longer line.
- Morning: Yoyogi Park Private Picnic - I am actually not sure what service did this, because the concierge at my hotel arranged the picnic with gourmet foods for us, but it was amazing and I recommend you ask the concierge at your hotel to arrange this for you if picnics are something you like.
- Japanese Massage: The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo Spa - actually almost all hotels there have amazing spas, but this one has a view overlooking Tokyo.
- Must Do: Traditional Kabuki Show at Kabuki-za Theatre in Ginza: Japan’s traditional performing arts.
- Lunch: Sazenka- They have a blend of Chinese and Japanese culinary traditions in a beautiful setting.
- Must See (if weather is not wow and you want to be in doors): Mori Art Museum in Roppongi: Contemporary art in a sophisticated setting.
- Dinner: Joël Robuchon - A 3-star Michelin restaurant focusing on French cuisine https://www.joel-robuchon.com/_dev/en/restaurants-tokyo-joelrobuchon.php I know it’s weird to go to a French restaurant in Japan, but I swear this is the best French restaurant I’ve ever been too.
- If they are fully booked try Quintessence - also A 3-star Michelin restaurant focusing on French cuisine with a Japanese touch.

Day 3
- Breakfast: Takazawa - Although typically a dinner spot, if you can arrange it, starting your day here would be worth it.
- Morning: Personalized tour of Tsukiji Outer Market - I had a guide take me through the best stalls and I was able to try the freshest seafood. … NOTE, I would have recommended going to the fish market for the Tuna auction and then for a sushi breakfast there, but the wholesale market of Tsukiji Market, which was also known as the "inner market", closed back in October 2018 and moved to a new site in Toyosu where it reopened as  Toyosu Market, but I have not been yet to this one so I dont really know what to recommend there but ask the Conciergerie.
- Massage: I can’t remember the name of where I went, but ask concierge to find the most authentic or historic or iconic place for reflexology.
- Must Do: i once had a private cooking class where I learned to make sushi with a top Tokyo chef, so if you are into this I would recommend again asking concierge to book this!
- Lunch: Ginza Koju - A traditional kaiseki cuisine
- Grab a coffee and Check out the Shibuya Crossing
- Must See: I really loved going to the TeamLab immersive museum, but not sure exactly what things you like.
- Japanese garden: Shinjuku Gyoen
- Dinner: Sushi Yoshitake - Sushi

Japanese tea experience (sooo many good places, but I know you like matcha and this is THE PLACE TO EXPERIENCE IT. So I’ll list a few, but really there are so many)

- Sakurai Japanese Tea Experience: It’s more of a modern approach to the traditional tea ceremony, they had a curated selection of Japanese teas, from sencha and gyokuro to various matcha preparations.

Hotels (I’m sure you already have a hotel and there are sooooo many good ones, but I’ll list my top top ones because if you want a spa day, all of these hotels have good spas)
- HOSHINOYA Tokyo (My all time favorite. If you stay here they have a very cute traditional breakfast and they have a very nice traditional ceremonial matcha 🍵 tea class).

I’m sure I’m missing so much, but lol there is just so much to do and see and eat in Tokyo 😍🏆


Well, we all have our vices.


Government handouts are worth nothing. They just get added on to the list of Unfunded Liabilities (a.k.a. debts).


Lol. Kids scare the hell outta me. 😅🤷♂


Question: what are the most difficult aspects of marriage? Other than raising children. 😅


Lol. Just like Kevin Costner.


Stella, you settled down so young. How'd you know you were ready? 🤔


You are 100% correct about that! There's nothing fulfilling about the party lifestyle. I'm actually at a point in my life where I'm trying to settle down. I won't lie. I'm actually really nervous about it. Pretty sure I fucked everything up with her.


Lucky gal! 👍


Not worth it. People who prioritize body count are empty souls much of the time.


Honestly, I'm a bit envious.


How old were you when you got married?


Lol. Awww, man! I wish someone told me that ten years ago. Good thing I'm still young.


A little caution is always wise.


I started to use Nostr because I was curious of how it was like and now I’m going to Bitcoin events. Keep talking about Bitcoin.

I don't believe in voting.


The system is broken.
No one is coming to fix it.
It's up to us.

We have to stop being so damned dependent on the federal government. We have to focus on our similarities and put aside our differences. This nation is precious, it can't be left alone to die a slow death.

That's such a dope list! 👍


One of the very few well-intentioned politicians.


In all seriousness, you are right, imo. The similarities are uncanny. Only a fool would deny that. The only difference is that it seems like this collapse of an empire is occurring at a MUCH faster rate. Just look at the debt clock!

It's not just about living in the moment, though. That's not ALWAYS a bad thing. It's the fact that too many people nowadays prioritize the opinions of others. People always feel the need to compete. 🤷♂🙄
