I do intermittent fasting. I strongly believe that it is helping my body esp mentally and my hormones. Did you know that that we have 3 brains? Crazy right? One of them is in our gut. It's worth checking it out. Hence, we get a butterfly or like a punch in the stomach when we sense danger or not aligning to our values — inauthentic decisions. So NO, you are not being odd. Your body is telling you something and rightly so, you must listen to it. If we ever meet virtually on live stream, perhaps I can share the spiritual side of the "gut feeling". ☺❤


Oh? I did not know they had an update. I notice that some nostr events has an error where it says, thread is still loading and all blank. 🥶


I am having the same too! It is loading and loading. I wonder what is going on. 🤔


so true and spot on! Kudos to you though for being brave at work and for being upfront. I had my own fair share of this. Perhaps if we ever get to have a f2f or vritual f2f, I'll get to share my crazy story at work.

We are complex being, I have learned that the hard way. I have no problems about debate, challenging one's method, way of thinking because as we both agree — it's how we grow and expand our views and experiences.

What I would not agree on is the attack of character. I find this very low. I mean instead of discussing and debating on the idea, people find it entertaining to attack someone's character. This is very low blow. Whilst I understand why they do it from a psychology perspective, I still don't agree with it esp name calling. This speaks volume of their character, a reflection.

This is very insightful and defo see you around here! ☺✌💯🫂


the moment rules are imposed, people have to abide. otherwise, you are out. rules and standards are introduced to create harmony (ideally). however, it is in human nature to over step and would test the boundaries to see if the rules are enforceable. In addition, there is always people who will take advantage of the rules, wield it to whoever as it pleases them. hence, so many people do not trust institutions for this very reasons — abuse of power. 💯 understand about the "birthday party" situation. it is your house, your event and you set the rules. If we use this concept to the digital community, I strongly believe it comes down to setting the right expectations. How do we define censorship-resistant? Are we defining it the same way as the others interpret it? If I play devils advocate here, is nostr as a technology promoting censorship resistant is the same as a birthday party — is it the same analogy?

Perhaps if it is a group chat then of course, depending on who owns the group will set the standards and rules.

So for nostr, who set the standards, who set the rules? Aren't we, the community, collectively — the people?

this is interesting discussion! ✌ food for thought worth pondering. ☺❤

it must have been such a refreshing milestone for you. ☺💯 so pleased to hear and keep going. you got this! ❤🫂

genuinely curious, how did you get to this point of your journey — trusting your gut without doubting yourself?


how do you differentiate those? (genuinely curious)


💯 the crazy thing is, I can truly imagine this scenario. People are so brazen online because they thought no one will make them accountabl e unlike f2f. Exception to those who can walk the talk online and offline, who can say the same thing to you online and offline — to your face. But majority of it, you will be surprised what they are like in person. Some of them have so much sh*t going on in their lives that their way of escaping is through online rage, projecting their misery online to make themselves better.  😔

### Episode 1: The Addiction of Seeking Approval – How Fear of Rejection Holds You Back?! 🤔💔

Ever felt like you’re living your life on someone else’s terms, desperately seeking approval while the fear of rejection looms over you like a dark cloud? 🌧 If that resonates, you’re not alone! 😔

#### The Pain of Seeking Approval 😩

Picture this: you’re at a party, surrounded by laughter and chatter, yet you feel like an outsider looking in. Instead of enjoying the moment, your mind races with thoughts like, “Do they like me? Am I saying the right things?” It’s exhausting, isn’t it? This constant need for validation can leave you feeling drained and anxious, as if you’re running a marathon with no finish line in sight.

For many, seeking approval leads to a profound sense of loneliness. You might have a crowd of friends around you, but deep down, you feel disconnected. Why? Because you’re not being your true self. You’re wearing a mask, and it’s heavy. The fear of rejection looms large, making you second-guess every word and action. It’s like walking on eggshells, always worried that one misstep could send someone packing.

#### What’s at the Root of It All? 🌱

So, where does this need for approval come from? Often, it’s rooted in our past experiences. Maybe you grew up in an environment where love was conditional—where praise was given only for achievements, not for simply being you. Or perhaps you faced criticism that made you doubt your worth. These experiences can create a belief that your value is tied to how others perceive you.

Cultural and societal pressures also play a massive role. We live in a world that often equates success with popularity and acceptance. Social media doesn’t help either; it’s a highlight reel that can make anyone feel inadequate. The result? A cycle of seeking validation that can feel impossible to break.

#### Finding Your Way Back to Your True Self -  Authentic Self 🤗

It starts with **YOU**. Here are some gentle steps to help you reclaim your authenticity and break free from the approval trap:

1. **Self-Reflection**: Take a moment to ask yourself: “What do I truly value?” Write it down. Understanding your core beliefs can help you stand firm in your identity.

2. **Challenge Negative Thoughts**: When you catch yourself worrying about others’ opinions, challenge those thoughts. Ask yourself, “Is this thought based on fact or fear?” Often, it’s the latter.

3. **Practice Self-Compassion**: Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend. Remember, it’s okay to be imperfect. Embrace your quirks; they make you unique!

4. **Set Boundaries**: Learn to say no. It’s not selfish; it’s necessary. Protecting your time and energy is crucial for your well-being.

5. **Explore Self-Hypnosis**: This powerful tool can help you reprogram your subconscious mind, allowing you to let go of the need for external validation. By tapping into your inner self, you can cultivate a sense of worth that isn’t reliant on others’ opinions.

6. **Consider Past Life Regression**: Sometimes, the roots of our fears can stretch back further than we realise. Past life regression can help uncover deep-seated beliefs and patterns that may be influencing your current need for approval, allowing you to release them and embrace your true self.

7. **Surround Yourself with Support**: Seek out people who appreciate you for who you are, not for who you pretend to be. Genuine connections can help you feel more secure in your identity.

8. **Celebrate Small Wins**: Acknowledge your efforts to be authentic, no matter how small. Each step you take is a victory worth celebrating! 🎉

9. **Seek Professional Help**: Remember, therapists aren’t the only professionals who can help. Coaches, mentors, and even supportive friends can provide valuable insights and guidance on your journey to authenticity.

10. **Find Your Tribe**: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who are also on a journey of self-discovery. Sharing experiences can foster a sense of belonging and support.

Remember, you are enough just as you are. The journey to authenticity may be challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Join me next time as we explore more about overcoming the fear of rejection and embracing your true self. Until then, be kind to yourself! 🫂❤

Stay tuned for Episode 2! 🌟

Cheers,
M💋

### **Stop Shoving Your Beliefs: The Hidden Costs of Imposing Your Ideas on Others! 🚫💔**

In a world bursting with diverse beliefs and opinions, it’s vital to recognise that everyone has the right to their own views. However, when you impose your ideas on others—whether it’s about religion, politics, or personal values—you risk creating a toxic environment that stifles growth and understanding.

#### It Alienates People 🤦
The pain of belittling those who don’t share your beliefs is profound. It not only alienates others but also reflects a deep-seated insecurity within yourself. When you dismiss or discriminate against differing opinions, you’re not just pushing people away; you’re building walls that prevent meaningful connections. This behaviour can lead to isolation, resentment, and a lack of genuine relationships.

#### It Creates Division 💔
Moreover, imposing your ideology creates division, fostering an “us vs. them” mentality. This can escalate into hostility, making it difficult to engage in constructive conversations. Instead of inviting dialogue, you’re sowing seeds of discord that can have lasting implications on your community and personal relationships.

If you struggle to respect differing opinions, it may indicate a lack of self-respect. When you refuse to listen to others, you miss out on valuable insights that could enrich your own understanding. Getting down from your high horse and genuinely engaging with those around you can lead to profound learning experiences.

True growth comes from embracing diversity and recognising that everyone is on their own journey. If you want to be heard and respected, start by extending that same courtesy to others. Compassion and empathy are the keys to building bridges 🌉, not walls. 🫂

**When did you have a heated debate due to differing opinions? How did you resolve it amicably? ** 💬👇

it sounds an amazing book. 💯 agree this is very common to everyone. Sadly, everybody struggles to be authentic in exchange for seeking validation from others. ty for sharing.☺❤


indeed 💯 agree on that! U too ☺✌


we're excited to have you around! 🎉🎉🎉💯👏


it is refreshing to see it as a super power and reframing it in a positive way. Whilst it is good to view it this way; what I have learned dealing with it is it can lead to excessive self-criticism and self-doubt because you want to achieve the perfect outcome or control the outcome. In an ideal world, we strive to make it perfect. But often, perfection leads to anxiety and self resentment if the outcome we want is not met. I'd say it is ok to minimise errors and win quality work but not to the expense of your mental wellbeing in the long-term. ❤✌☺


sounds a great win! 💯✌ I cannot wait to see Solid or experience it. ☺👏


To developed countries this is very funny. 🤣 To a developing countries, it is still relevant I guess. We are funny bunch, aren't we — human beings? 🤣✌


Will look into it. Ty for sharing though

### **The Secrets of Your Dreams: How to Unlock it?🌌💭**

**"Tell me your dreams, and I'll tell you who you are."** This famous line from Sidney Sheldon’s thriller may sound dramatic, but it holds a profound truth. Our dreams are powerful symbols crafted by our subconscious mind, revealing insights about our waking lives.

When we dream, we enter a realm where our subconscious takes the reins, weaving together the threads of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It’s as if our mind is telling a story—one that reflects what’s happening in our conscious state. Dreams can serve as warnings, highlighting what troubles or stresses us, and offering guidance on how to navigate these challenges.

For those who learn to interpret their dreams, a treasure trove of messages awaits. These dreams can unlock insights from your higher self, pointing out areas for growth and improvement. They act as mirrors, reflecting our inner world and guiding us toward self-discovery.

But there’s more to dreams than just personal symbolism. When we dream, we are not just passively experiencing images; we are actively travelling to different realms, including the spiritual plane. In this space, we can seek answers to our current dilemmas or gain clarity about our life’s purpose.

Have you ever felt a sense of déjà vu in your dreams? This could be a glimpse into your past lives. Yes, dreams can allow us to access memories from previous incarnations, providing valuable lessons and insights that can inform our present journey.

So, the next time you wake from a vivid dream, take a moment to reflect. What messages might your subconscious be trying to convey? What aspects of your life are calling for attention? Embrace the mystery of your dreams, for they are powerful portals to understanding yourself and the universe around you. 🌠✨

### **The Hidden Dangers of Always Saying 'Yes': How to Reclaim Your Power?** 🚫✨

Have you ever found yourself nodding along, saying "yes" to every request that comes your way, even when your gut is screaming for you to stop? It starts innocently enough—helping a friend, taking on extra work, or agreeing to plans you’re not really keen on. But over time, this habit can morph into a heavy burden that weighs down your well-being. Let’s explore the pain of not saying "no" and how it can impact your life.

#### The Pain of Relentless Agreement 😩

When you say "yes" too often, you might feel like a people-pleaser, but the reality is that you’re slowly eroding your own boundaries. Each seemingly innocent "yes" chips away at your time, energy, and self-worth. You might find yourself overwhelmed with commitments, feeling stretched too thin, and ultimately, resenting the very people you aimed to please.

Imagine this: You’ve agreed to take on a project at work, help a friend move, and attend a social event—all in the same week. As the days go by, you start to feel the weight of your choices. You’re exhausted, irritable, and questioning why you ever said "yes" in the first place. This cycle can lead to a toxic mix of frustration and self-loathing, as you realise you’ve let others walk all over you.

#### The Ripple Effect on Your Life 🌊

The implications of not saying "no" can seep into every aspect of your life:

- **Work**: You might find yourself drowning in tasks, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. Your colleagues may start to rely on you for everything, and you become the go-to person for favours, leaving you with little time for your own priorities.

- **Relationships**: Friends and family may take your willingness to help for granted, leading to feelings of resentment. You might feel unappreciated and taken advantage of, which can strain your relationships and create distance between you and those you care about.

- **Your Relationship with Yourself**: Constantly saying "yes" can erode your self-esteem. You may start to feel like you’re not worthy of your own time and needs, leading to a negative self-image and a lack of self-respect.

#### Actionable Solutions to Reclaim Your Power 💪

So, how can you break free from this cycle? Here are some gentle strategies to help you start saying "no" without guilt:

1. **Reflect on Your Priorities**: Take time to identify what truly matters to you. When you know your priorities, it becomes easier to say "no" to things that don’t align with them.

2. **Practice Assertiveness**: Start small by saying "no" to minor requests. This will help build your confidence. Remember, you don’t owe anyone an explanation for prioritising your well-being.

3. **Use Self-Hypnosis**: Self-hypnosis can be a powerful tool to reprogram your subconscious mind. By visualising yourself confidently saying "no," you can reinforce your boundaries and reduce the guilt associated with it.

4. **Explore Past Life Regression**: Sometimes, our inability to say "no" can stem from deeper issues rooted in our past. Past life regression can help uncover these patterns, allowing you to understand and release the fears that hold you back.

5. **Surround Yourself with Support**: Share your journey with trusted friends or a supportive community. They can encourage you to stand firm in your decisions and remind you that it’s okay to prioritise yourself.

Saying "yes" all the time may seem harmless at first, but it can lead to a cascade of negative emotions and consequences. By recognising the dangers of not saying "no," you can reclaim your power and create a life that aligns with your true self. Remember, it’s perfectly okay to prioritise your own needs and well-being. You deserve it! 💖

Take a deep breath, and remember: saying "no" is not a rejection of others; it’s an affirmation of yourself! 🌟

### **The Truth About Impostor Syndrome: How to Overcome it?** 🌟

Have you ever felt like you’re just pretending to be successful, waiting for someone to expose you as a fraud? You’re not alone! **Impostor syndrome** is a sneaky little gremlin that affects countless people, making them doubt their abilities and achievements. But what if I told you that you have the power to silence that inner critic? Let’s dive into this together and explore how to reclaim your confidence! 💪✨

#### **What’s the Root Cause?** 🤔

**Impostor syndrome** often stems from a mix of perfectionism, societal pressures, and our upbringing. Many of us were raised to believe that success is tied to our achievements, leading us to equate our self-worth with our performance. When we don’t meet those high expectations—whether set by ourselves or others—we can feel like frauds. It’s important to remember that these feelings are common and not a reflection of your actual abilities. You’re not alone in this!

#### **The Implications of Inaction** 🚫

Ignoring **impostor syndrome** can have serious implications. It can lead to chronic self-doubt, anxiety, and even depression. When we don’t address these feelings, we might shy away from opportunities, fearing we’ll be “found out.” This can hinder our personal and professional growth, making us miss out on experiences that could lead to success and fulfilment.

#### **How It Affects Mental Health and Daily Interactions** 🧠

Living with **impostor syndrome** can take a toll on our mental health. It can create a cycle of anxiety and stress, affecting our relationships and day-to-day interactions. We might find ourselves downplaying our achievements or avoiding conversations about our successes, which can lead to misunderstandings with friends and colleagues. Remember, it’s okay to celebrate your wins! 🎉

#### **Overcoming Impostor Syndrome** 💪

So, how do we tackle this pesky **impostor syndrome**? Here are a few gentle strategies:

1. **Acknowledge Your Feelings**: The first step is recognising that these feelings are valid. It’s okay to feel this way, and acknowledging it can be liberating.

2. **Talk About It**: Sharing your feelings with trusted friends or colleagues can help. You might be surprised to find that many of them feel the same way!

3. **Celebrate Your Achievements**: Take time to reflect on your successes, no matter how small. Keep a journal of your accomplishments to remind yourself of your capabilities.

4. **Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis**: Incorporating mindfulness techniques, such as meditation, alongside self-hypnosis can be incredibly beneficial. Mindfulness helps ground you in the present moment, while self-hypnosis allows you to tap into your subconscious mind, reshaping negative beliefs and reinforcing positive affirmations. Together, these practices create a powerful toolkit for building self-confidence and reducing the grip of **impostor syndrome**.

5. **Explore Supportive Resources**: While seeking professional help can be beneficial for some, remember that support can come from various sources. Whether it’s a mentor, a supportive friend, or even self-help books, there are many ways to find guidance and encouragement on your journey.

**Impostor syndrome** can feel isolating, but it’s a common experience that many people face. By acknowledging it and taking steps to overcome it, we can foster a healthier mindset and improve our mental well-being. Remember, you are more capable than you think, and it’s perfectly okay to own your achievements. ❤💯

Take care, and remember: you’ve got this! 💪👌

4. **Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis**: Incorporating mindfulness techniques, such as meditation, alongside self-hypnosis can be incredibly beneficial. Mindfulness helps ground you in the present moment, while self-hypnosis allows you to tap into your subconscious mind, reshaping negative beliefs and reinforcing positive affirmations. Together, these practices create a powerful toolkit for building self-confidence and reducing the grip of **impostor syndrome**.

5. **Explore Supportive Resources**: While seeking professional help can be beneficial for some, remember that support can come from various sources. Whether it’s a mentor, a supportive friend, or even self-help books, there are many ways to find guidance and encouragement on your journey.

**Impostor syndrome** can feel isolating, but it’s a common experience that many people face. By acknowledging it and taking steps to overcome it, we can foster a healthier mindset and improve our mental well-being. Remember, you are more capable than you think, and it’s perfectly okay to own your achievements. ❤💯

Take care, and remember: you’ve got this! 💪👌

Cheers,

ha ha spot on lol 😂💯


so true. hence, Earth is said to be the difficult school to learn from because you have to master your emotions as part of your lessons. ❤ let me share with you something uncommon knowledge that only those who believe in the afterlife and immortality know: when you are at your lowest and when you are at your darkest hour, it is when the awakening of your Higher Self occurs. It is also the time you are closest to the divine "Source". 🙏☺


indeed. Without it, we will be naive and ignorant of the world and the people around us. It is only by trying we experience life and its lessons! beautiful isn't it? ❤☺

💯 agree. it is all about education and collaboration. People cannot contribute if they don't understand it. 😔


sadly yes and also a lucrative business! 😔


do u take card or btc only for requests? 🤣🤣🤣 In case, they only charge crypo per request LOL 😂 (joke!)


I'd say as someone who tried pure keto (strict keto — no sugar, carbs) with intermittent fasting for almost 2 years, it did wonders. However, it was hard to sustain and ended up binge-eating refined sugar as a result of restrain. In the end, I introduced cheat days so I do not need to do binge-sugar craving. If all your life, you have been eating refined sugar, it can be challenging and isolating considering the food industry introduce sugar in some shape or form in our food. I'd say balancing it is the key. Rooting for you! ✌👏💯


jam or organic honey — yumyum ☺✌👏


Not sure I follow what you mean. maybe I misunderstood it. Would you like to elaborate?🤔✌


does it has to be corporate branding? could we not use simplified name without malice? whilst you can remember numbers and what it means, not everybody does. ✌


it makes sense. I'd say for me, it has been useful to fade out office noise especially in an open plan office. However, I also acknowledge that it can also be detrimental to team collaboration if not handled properly and without communication. Eg, if someone using headphone, ir deters other to approach them thinking they are on call. But this can be avoided if the teams agree on what the headphone means for everyone in the team. It varies from team to team. ☺


The Perils of Arrogance: When Thinking You Know It All Leads to Isolation 🚫🤔

Let’s have a chat about something that often goes unnoticed but can have serious consequences: arrogance. We’ve all encountered that person who struts around like they’ve got all the answers, treating others as if they’re beneath them. It’s a common trap, and while it might feel good to be on a pedestal for a moment, the reality is that this illusion of knowledge can lead to some pretty painful outcomes.

First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: nobody knows everything. The world is vast, and there’s always something new to learn. When you adopt an arrogant mindset, you risk shutting yourself off from valuable insights and perspectives. You might think you’re the smartest person in the room, but in reality, you could be missing out on the wisdom that others have to offer. It’s like trying to navigate a maze with your eyes closed—you might think you’re making progress, but you’re likely just going in circles.

Now, let’s talk about how arrogance affects relationships. When you treat people as if they’re less intelligent or capable, you create a barrier that can be hard to break down. People can sense that condescension, and it often leads to resentment. Instead of fostering collaboration and understanding, you end up isolating yourself. It’s a lonely place to be when you think you’re above everyone else, and it can leave you without the support and camaraderie that come from genuine connections.

Moreover, arrogance can cloud your judgment. When you believe you know better than everyone else, you might ignore advice or feedback that could actually help you grow. This can lead to poor decision-making and missed opportunities. Remember, even the most successful people have mentors and advisors—they understand the value of listening and learning from others.

So, what can we do to combat this tendency? Start by practising humility. Acknowledge that everyone has something to contribute, and be open to learning from those around you. Ask questions, listen actively, and show genuine interest in others’ perspectives. You might be surprised at the wealth of knowledge that’s out there, just waiting for you to discover it.

In the end, arrogance may give you a temporary sense of superiority, but it comes at a cost. Embracing humility not only enriches your own life but also strengthens your relationships and opens doors to new opportunities. So, let’s choose kindness and understanding over arrogance. After all, we’re all in this together, and there’s so much we can learn from one another! ☺🫂🌟

if it is just me, I don't have to worry about NIP. Though it can be a hassle to look up each number to understand its definition or taxonomy.  You can see on the thread the purpose of the post. Asking question is easy. Imagine this, every non-tech person asking the same thing over and over again, the same for those who are answering those questions. NIP is a standard guide of implementation for features use for Nostr. Each dev't has to comply to it if they need a robust product compatible to Nostr. I hope it makes sense why this post is out. ☺


same here! 👌


That would work. The objective of this post is to educate those who are not in the dev team or do not understand what they stand for. Of course, you can go to github. But it is another journey for users to move away from nostr client before they get the answer.
How do you propose it to work? (genuinely curious) ☺


#asknostr

Is it just me that when the devs talk about "NIP- numbers", I shut off?

I know that devs people understand what the nip numbers but to average users who are not close to this projects and development would not make sense to us. It is causing confusion rather than collaboration.

If we want to expand #nostr beyond the dev techy people, would it makes sense if we start talking in layman's term about the development if we seek to grow?

We want to promote nostr but until we can speak in unison and of the same language that average people can relate, contribute and understand then it will be a downhill strategy for us.

If we want to educate, perhaps we can start speaking in less jargon. If there is a need for the jargon, at least explain it — make it inclusive to those who are not part of the team.

#randomthoughts #gnostr #wherostr #yakihonne #amethyst #primal #damus #nostr


curious, why you dislike it?


I'd recommend the "48 Laws of Power" and the "Art of War". It has been used by courtier and the modern politics. They are very useful wherever you are. The environment may have changed, the players may have changed but the rules are still the same — human nature. The one you need to worry the most are not always the fascist. But wolves wearing the sheep clothing; they are the most dangerous one. They smile in front of you, they let you hear what you need to hear, before you know it, you are only part of their game plan. Unsuspecting person with lack of self-awareness will full prey to this trap. Sadly, it happens so many times not only in politics but everywhere where human is involved: it is within our nature. ☺


yeah, unexpected passing like this case sometimes lead the soul to think they are still alive; using the phone was his way of letting his family know. If they tried to use some listening frequency kit like the ghost hunter use, who knows they may have heard him. What appears crazy to us is not unusual phenomena. Some spirits stay on Earth, wander around unaware of their passing and sometimes they know they passed but could not let go. It is important to help them pass through especially with the family. Sometimes the family can cause the passing soul to stay if they feel that the people they left behind will struggle as a result of their passing.  In itself, it is a lesson for the soul to let go and for the family too. 😔

Betrayal and Loyalty: Two Sides of the Same Coin. Will I Ever Trust Again? 💔🤝

Betrayal and disloyalty can cut deeper than any physical wound. It’s a painful reality that many of us have faced, often from those we least expected. Ironically, the very people who have been the most loyal and devoted can sometimes become the ones who betray us. It’s as if their own experiences of hurt have led them down a path where they feel they must protect themselves at all costs.

For those who have been betrayed, the scars run deep. They may have once opened their hearts wide, trusting others with their vulnerabilities, only to find that trust shattered. This can lead to a profound sense of disillusionment, causing them to close off and guard their hearts fiercely. The fear of getting hurt again can be overwhelming, and it takes time—sometimes a long time—to rebuild that trust.

It’s important to remember that this guardedness is not a reflection of their character but rather a protective mechanism born from pain. They’ve loved deeply and been hurt deeply, and now they tread carefully, weighing every connection with caution. It’s a journey that requires immense courage, as they navigate the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-preservation.

When they do find the strength to trust again, it’s a beautiful thing. They pour their hearts into relationships, often giving everything they have for the cause or the person they believe in. Their loyalty is fierce, and their commitment unwavering. They understand the value of connection, having felt the sting of betrayal, and they choose to love wholeheartedly despite the risks.

To those who have been hurt, know that your feelings are valid. It’s okay to take your time to heal and to be cautious about who you let into your life. Surround yourself with those who understand your journey and who will honour your heart. Remember, it’s not about how quickly you trust again, but about finding the right people who deserve that trust.

And to those who have betrayed, it’s never too late to reflect on your actions and seek to make amends. Understanding the impact of disloyalty can lead to growth and change, not just for yourself but for those you’ve hurt. 💔

In the end, we are all human, navigating the complexities of relationships and emotions. 🫂
Let’s approach each other with kindness, compassion, and understanding.
Trust 🤝 may take time to rebuild, but when it does, it can lead to the most profound connections.
Let’s cherish 👏 those moments and honour the journey it takes to get there. 🌱✨

deactivated linkedIn. I noticed it has become too much for me. Too many fake jobs and scams. But very good platform for "profiling" people and individuals.  The sad thing, a lot of companies heavily ask if you have a LinkedIn account, it becomes a "norm". If you do not have one, then you must be "crazy".

The latter, is to transcend beyond your "awake" state, the knowing that you are more than the body you inhabit, but immortal that last: having mortal experience. ☺ If want more, let me know. 👌

I truly agree. Until it affects them and their livelihood, it is not going to be easy. If I may give my penny to the subject, when average non-techy non-bitcoin users onboard on Nostr, will get intimidated when they see bitcoin trending or most discussion is bitcoin. I am not saying that it is a bad thing. All I am saying is it would be great to see community other than bitcoin to use as a storytelling to join Nostr — the why! I say this as someone who joined nostr last Apr, left for 2 months because I was confused when most of the feeds where bitcoin. But I persevered and had to find my way. ☺

I CANNOT BE HYPNOTISED. Is it? 🤔

Ah, the classic claim! Many of us pride ourselves on our logical minds, convinced that hypnosis is something reserved for stage shows or the easily swayed. But what if I told you that you might have already experienced a "trance-like" state without even realising it?

 👉Let’s dive into this fascinating topic and explore how self-hypnosis can be a game-changer in our daily lives. 👇

1. Watching Movies or TV Shows 🎬: Think about the last time you got lost in a gripping film or binge-watched a series. You were so engrossed in the story that the world around you faded away. That’s a form of trance! Your mind was focused, and you were fully absorbed, almost as if you were in a hypnotic state.

2. Reading Books 📚: Ever found yourself so captivated by a book that you lost track of time? You might have been in a state of deep concentration, where the words on the page transported you to another world. This is another example of how our minds can slip into a trance-like state, even when we think we’re just being logical.

3. Engaging in Hobbies 🎨: Whether it’s painting, knitting, or gardening, many of us have hobbies that allow us to enter a flow state. In these moments, we become so focused on the task at hand that everything else fades away. This is a beautiful form of self-hypnosis, where we can tap into our creativity and find peace.

4. Daydreaming ☁: We’ve all been there—lost in thought during a meeting or while waiting for the bus. Daydreaming is a natural way for our minds to wander, and it can lead to a trance-like state where we access deeper thoughts and feelings. It’s a reminder that our minds are capable of more than we often acknowledge.

5. Listening to Audiobooks or Podcasts 🎧: When you listen to an engaging story or an interesting discussion, you might find yourself completely absorbed. This focused attention can create a trance-like experience, allowing you to connect with the content on a deeper level.

Now, you might be wondering why self-hypnosis is important. Well, it’s all about accessing different levels of brain waves. When we enter a relaxed state, we can shift from the busy beta waves of our everyday thinking to the calmer alpha and theta waves. These states are where creativity flourishes, stress diminishes, and self-discovery happens. 🌟

Self-hypnosis can help you manage stress, improve focus, and even enhance your creativity. It’s a powerful tool that allows you to tap into your subconscious mind, helping you to set and achieve personal goals, overcome fears, and cultivate a more positive mindset. 🙏

So, the next time you find yourself lost in a film, daydreaming, or fully immersed in a hobby, remember: you’re not just being logical; you’re experiencing the incredible power of your mind. Embrace it! Self-hypnosis is not just for the easily swayed; it’s for anyone willing to explore the depths of their own consciousness. Give it a try, and you might just discover a whole new world of possibilities waiting for you! ❤

it only shows that no better teacher than life experience! I have my own fair share of experiences. I am no different than others. But I only choose to use it to help better myself and others. Even now, I laugh sometimes seeing myself a year or even 10 years ago, it's unrecognisable. It shows that those who are willing to evolve will experience life at its best! ❤🙏☺

indeed! keep believing and living within your own terms 👌


very much well put! I never doubt that u r very much self-aware which normally comes from life's lessons. A healthy relationship requires individual growth and growing together. Only it can blossoms when working together. Having self reflection and always learning are one of the key foundation to harmonious and lasting relationship! Which I believe you have articulated and you are much aware. Cheers to your lasting relationship 💯👌👏🎉🎉 ☺


U too! 💯👌


Privacy should be your choice. Regardless whether you are faceless here or not, if you are not using proper security; Your face is your less of your worry! Keep safe out there! ✌☺


that's the spirit!👌 any advice for your younger self?


every emotions can have a negative or positive effect in your life. The question is: would you be a slave to your emotions, or would you use your emotions to turn your life around? Your choice, always! ☺💯


🌟 When you are on your deathbed, would you reflect on a fulfilling life? 🌟

We often get caught up in the daily grind—working hard, chasing promotions, and earning money to pay the bills. But let’s be real: when it’s all said and done, none of that will matter in the afterlife.

Imagine lying on your deathbed 🛌, reflecting on your life. Will you feel fulfilled, or will you be haunted 😔 by unfulfilled potential? 🤔
Life🍀is finite, and it’s so easy to let the years slip by without truly living. It’s time to wake up 💤 and realise that we have the power 💪to make a difference, not just for ourselves but for those around us. 🫂

Doing something you don’t enjoy isn’t just unhealthy for your spirit; it can take a toll on your mental and physical well-being too. Many of us cling to jobs or careers because of the illusion of security, but remember: your body will always catch up with your mind. It’s no wonder so many people fall ill, harbouring negative emotions like regret and anger, all because they’re not living life on their own terms.

Don’t let fear dictate your existence! Instead, venture into the unknown and embrace it head-on. Life is too precious to spend it in a state of dissatisfaction. So, let’s choose to live mindfully, pursue our passions, and create a life we can be proud of when the time comes to reflect.

👉 Knowing all these, what life would you lead from this day forward?

Let’s grow, live fully and authentically! 💖🙏

🌟 Don't weigh your losses but your values. 🌟

 Life can throw us some curveballs, and it’s all too easy to get bogged down by what we’ve lost or the setbacks we’ve faced.
But here’s the thing: instead of counting those losses, why not focus on what truly matters to us?

Our values are like a guiding star, helping us navigate through the ups and downs. ✌✨ They remind us of who we are and what we stand for, even when things get tough. So, let’s lift each other up and celebrate our values!

What’s something you value that keeps you going? Let’s inspire one another! 💖💪

sugar for me! 😔 I tried to eliminate completely carbs, sugar and dairy from my diet. I was trying it to do process of elimination which break my skin. I went to the extreme and my body did not like it. So I am working to balance it out now. My motivation to remove refine sugar has defo helped me get through tough time of cravings. 💯👌

I see. It seems so many companies are doing the woke agenda lately. I noticed it in the gaming industry too. As a result, their bottomline has been affected! 🤦


yeah, I use Proton and I love it a lot! The only reason why I said Google is working in progress because I still have YT account and my phone is made by Google! 😬😔 For the mobile, it is my first try to use Google phone and I love the camera. 👌💯 Maybe on my next phone will look for other brand.


yeah, I don't rely to only one client. I use Yakihonne, Primal, Wherostr too. But my main go to is Amethyst. Give it a go and you will be surprised the differences from each app. ☺👌


Question: why stop? I mean what is your motivation for stopping? If that motivation isn't strong then you will always have this moment of wanting to  go back. Find a strong motivation to keep you off it. ☺🫂


they're not teaching you properly! Use the straw 🤣🤣🤣 btw, I don't drink lol
so pleased you guys are having a blast! 👏☺


Oh wow! 😬 Is this applicable for relay owner or is it applicable for non-relay owner too?


wweeeehhh! I tried to zap you but you don't have LN. 🤦😬😅 thank you for this link! legend 💯


What happened? 😬 How did you fix it?


Thank you for this! I will add it on mine be ause I did not know this is possible. 👏✌

My pleasure. You can watch it for free if you are savvy with finding free series online 😅


yes! Are you into South Korean series? Do you like under-dog fighting for the less fortunate? Do you enjoy plot twist especially when the protoganists are stuck in the corner and you would not thought they can pull out from life or death? If you do not mind watching a series then you may like Taxi Driver Season 1 and 2. You can watch each season independent from each other! Have fun 👏✌☺


hmmm, yes. My go to always is Amethyst. why do you ask? are u doing a survey?


💯 true. It starts with curiosity, you then either fall in love or dislike it. If the former, great! You want to know more. If the latter, it is ok; at least you know why.
The bottomline is, you never stop trying new things.

Equally important, you are willing to unlearn what you thought you know. It is sometimes the hindrance to learning new things! ✌📖

curious, what were you against on bud light or did not agree with? I do not drink so not in the loop about this company. As for Google, it is working in progress too! 😬😂


I feel you. I once had an employer like that! It became so toxic for me and had to weigh: my sanity — mental health's longevity or high paying salary? I was fortunate enough to quit, thankfully. I understand that not everyone has this luxury. My only hope, if you can tolerate the "woke madness" then go for it. If not, if I may, it maybe better to start looking somewhere else before it leaves a lasting scar on you. 👌🫂


indeed — so true. Seeking validation is not always a negative thing. It depends how you are using it. Eg. If you have new products or services, you need it to be validated by your target audience. However, what we mostly see from social media, they use validation as a means to dictate their lives. A little of everything is ok, until it becomes an addiction. 😔


agreed. It is very creepy! 😱


Oh yeah, you reminded me. I deleted all my Meta account! 👌


⚠Implications of Oversharing on Social Media⚠

I want to dive a bit deeper into something that’s been weighing on my heart: the implications of oversharing on social media.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the moment and share everything, but let’s take a step back and think about what that really means for us. 🤔

When we showcase all our “dirty laundry” online—no filter, no boundaries—it can feel like we’re laying our lives bare for everyone to see. Sure, being open and honest is important, but when we share everything, we risk losing that element of surprise and intimacy in our lives. It’s like we’ve become too familiar, and suddenly, our lives feel like an open book. 📖

Here’s the thing: when we’re constantly thinking about what our audience will think, it can feel like we’re living in a real-life Big Brother scenario. It’s exhausting!
We start to shape our lives around the expectations of others rather than living authentically for ourselves. That pressure can weigh heavily on our mental health, leaving us feeling drained and anxious. 😩

Remember, it’s okay to keep some things just for you. Your life is yours to live, not a performance for an audience. It’s perfectly fine to have moments that are private, sacred, and just for you and your loved ones. 💖

So, let’s encourage each other to find that balance. Share the joy, the laughter, and the beautiful moments, but don’t forget to cherish the quiet, personal times too. You deserve to live a life that feels true to you, free from the shadows of what others might think. 🌟

Take care of yourselves, and remember: you are enough just as you are, with or without the likes and comments. 💪✨

wow! nice one 👏


oh no! 😬 what happened?


I installed it. I am still using it. However, I am struggling to connect with my desktop and mobile because it must be on the same network! 😔 Other than the issue that I already mentioned above. The 3rd issue is the battery consumption. I find it disappointing that it drains the battery a lot if you have your notifications on instant or periodically — which checks notification every 10 mins. I never had this issue with Signal for all the have. I hope it will get fixed soon. 🙏😬


🙏great deeds never go unnoticed. Hope everyone is safe. ❤🙏🙏


hi! how would you know the memories are not yours? Is it because it is unfamiliar to this lifetime? I am a hypnotist and do past life regression. Hence, I asked because memories are triggered as you described. It is highly likely it is part of your past lives. ☺ It is exciting at the same mind puzzling to experience. ❤


I second this. It is not as intuitive as I'd like but maybe it is just me.

same! Deleted my account that was never used. I only posted once and never used it 'til I deleted it. LOL — I heard it is quite a negative induced community. 😬


To your heart's content! Fascinating, isn't it? 😂👌


we are rooting for you. genuinely curious: how would you measure that you have achieved it? ☺


would be keen to know if you are having the same experience.☺👌


did you have the same experience?


wow! respect 🤣👏👌


we are excited to see you around! 👏


attention is the new money


It depends how strong your bond or connection with this friend. If you know them enough then you would know if they are receptive or not to feedback. If the latter, I'd trade lightly because not everyone is open to feedback unless they are paid to receive it. However, if it is life and death, then share your thoughts to this friend if it means turning their life around. ☺


impressive marketing 😂


omg...😱 this is crazy 😬


I sent a message to Simplex team about it


Did some Simplex Chat testing today and I am not sure if this is by designed or a bug. 😔

I tried calling a friend next to me if the notification will come through. The call did not come through even though the notification settings is set to "instantly".

What we did notice: call will get through if the app is open. This does not make sense, like any app, it should come through even though it is not open.

Any thoughts or anyone observed the same thing?

Is Tor still safe to use?

https://blog.torproject.org/tor-is-still-safe/


I would be terrified working for this person. Gross misconduct I'd say. 😬


indeed. It takes courage to be alone and comfortable with your own solitude! 👏


Very well put when you said (paraphrase): people would not care unless they are being censored or their decades worth of work are censored and lost their account.

People would not care if they are happy to continue to be enslaved. 👌

I understand that UX for average non-tech savvy would matter most to them. "Convenience vs censorship-resistant".  I am more concerned on the security and longetivity of nostr which is critical to nostr's success. Early adopters understand the UX but let's not forget that we were bombarded by spam weeks' back. Thankfully these are friendly and harmless. I doubt if the adversary would be as kind as the former. Whilst I acknowledge nostr's need for improvement, let's address the basic non-functional requirements in relay and client level. Then we can talk about UX.

Incentive wise, the zap incentives is in itself value for value. This takes a different mindset shift. If we compare nostr to Youtube it will fail because it has different model. Youtube relies on ads and Nostr is not focus on ads but on zaps and freedom of expression.


Would you fire this person if you were the employer?

Story time:
Streamer hired a vid editor to do her video edits. One time this editor was late at submitting the finished videos. He then asked her, could we speak in private? She then say, yes — what's up?

He explained to her that the reason why he was late submitting videos because he was doing  "self-pleasure" on her videos! 😱😱😱
Streamer said, it was the quickest meeting she ever had. She end up paying him for months of work, meaning she still hired him.

Her reason, she thinks it was not a valid reason to fire him!

So, if you were on her shoe: would you fire him?

Ever find yourself in a place where hope feels like a distant memory, and desperation starts to settle in?
Those moments can be tough, and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed.
But let’s take a moment to explore how even in the depths of despair, there’s always a flicker of light waiting to guide us back. ☀✨

Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that can reignite that spark—like a kind word from a friend, a beautiful sunset, or even a cup of tea that warms your soul. When you’re feeling lost, remember that it’s alright to reach out for help. You don’t have to go through this alone. Talk to someone you trust, share your feelings, and let them remind you of the strength you carry within.

Hope has a funny way of sneaking back in when you least expect it. So, hold on tight, keep your heart open, and trust that brighter days are ahead. You’re stronger than you know, and you’ve got a whole community here cheering you on! 💖

Take care of yourselves, and remember: it’s okay to not be okay. You’ve got this!

🌟 Hey everyone! 🌟

Just wanted to take a moment to chat about something we all face at some point: STRUGGLE.
You know, those days when it feels like the universe is throwing everything at you, and you’re just trying to keep your head above water? Yeah, we’ve all been there.

But here’s the thing: struggle isn’t the end of the road; it’s just a pit stop on the journey. It’s where we learn, grow, and discover our true strength. 💪✨ Every challenge is like a little nudge from life, reminding us that we’re capable of so much more than we think.

So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath. Remember that it’s perfectly alright to stumble and fall. What matters is that you get back up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward. Surround yourself with good vibes, lean on your mates, and don’t be afraid to share your story. You never know who might need to hear it!

Let’s lift each other up and celebrate the beauty in our struggles. Together, we can turn those tough moments into stepping stones towards something amazing. Keep shining, everyone! 🌤❤

I wonder if you know or have tested whether or not the nostr keystore like nsec.app or amber is not vulnerable to cache hijacking? Ty ☺


To clarify, I have not tested or seen the cache jijacking theory using the keystore. #asknostr has someone tested this yet?


@gel I would be very sad to see you go 😔. I guess Melvin already mentioned a possible long-term solution.

Let's try to do some process of elimination and some house keeping. If you already know this then ignore me. 🫂

1.) Have you figured out whether your nsec has been stolen? If yes, what made you believe so? Eg, have you seen any post that are not yours perhaps?

2.) a.) If not, perhaps it is impersonation. Therefore, we need to create a web of trust for you. Perhaps a secret word that only you and your connection would know. However, this would require you to have a different method of sharing this secure word or phrase exclusive to your trusted friends here. This maybe a tricky one but it is possible.
b.) Use a keystore like nsec.app or amber for android clients (I forgot the name for iOs) to login to nostr clients. This keeps your key secure. Think of it like a second auth. When you login to nsec.app or any keystore, it will ask you to store your nsec there. You need to have a master key of that keystore so every time you login to any nostr client, you will use a random link to login and you have to approve the connection — which client you want to approve. It is important to renew cachr and avoid re-using permission cache. I'd suggest to refresh it when using the web. To keep it safe from cache session hijacking (have not tested this theory yet). This is to make sure you are only allowing the client you granted permission to access specific client. You can customise what each client can do and cannot do.

3.) Use VPN and Password manager. On top of the keystore, it is best practice to always encrypt your traffic on transit (VPN). Password manager is putting all your keys and passwords, secret phrase encrypted online and offline. There are so many trusted vendor out there. I used Nordvpn for 7 years now.

4.) Encrypt your mobile phone and laptop.

If you need to jump on hivetalk to help you with this, let me know! 👌

did not know about thread. oh wait, is this Zuckeberg's attempt to compite with X? 🤔


If you have been in 'fight or flight' mode all your life, it feels strange when you finally find calmness. 🕊😌 Like any habit or addiction, you may experience withdrawal from it. 😟

Your body is so accustomed to the stress hormones that it seeks them out. Therefore, even in a state of calmness, your brain will try to search for a problem, thinking, 'This can't be real' or 'I must look for something to solve.' 🤔 You constantly look for threats, even though there are none. 🚫

When you are feeling this way, take a moment to step back. 🧘♂ Ask yourself these three important questions:

1. Are my thoughts real? If yes, then proceed to the second question. If not, proceed to the third. ✅

2. What evidence supports my first statement? Your brain will try to search for answers. 🔍

3. If I were not thinking what I am thinking now, how would I feel? 💭

These questions help your brain differentiate between 'what is' and 'your own thoughts.' This will guide you to be in control of your thoughts and feelings rather than being a 'slave to them.' Remember, YOU are NOT your THOUGHTS. ✨

Equally important, this technique takes a lot of practice. Any new habit requires consistent effort before you can replace the old one. 🔄 So do yourself a favour: be kind to yourself, 🫂 because no one else will. 💖 You cannot truly be kind to others or empathise with them unless you have practised it yourself. 🤝 🤗

Yes, family was a bit confused but got there in the end. ☺

Business wise, I did have a business page and deleted it. All gone. I never like setting it up in the first place. I created it because it was what everyone was doing. I realised later that by staying in FB/Meta I am supporting it and condoning it. One last straw from me was my business page, I was banned because I made a mistake on my page. I think it waa something to do with my identity. I was very upset about it. But in hindsight, it gave me the drive to look elsewhere. 👌

Right now, I am heavily active on here. I intend to keep it this way. I do have account in Tiktok and Youtube but hardly use it atm. I may use it to drive traffic here or directly to my website. I am re-evaluating the latter. I intend to use #nostr for it. 💯

If you prefer a chat about this journey over hivetalk — happy to do so. ☺❤

See you around! ✌


love it when you say finger to Zuckerberg 😂 made me burst LOL

So pleased it gives something to think about and see you around? 👌☺


awwwee. thank you for your hard work. Do you have any suggestion for setting relay for non-tech (safe and secure)?


Thank you ☺


So true and 💯 spot on. I am sure it will stay with you in memory and neither digital nor physical photo can replace that. 🫂


Sorry about your dad's passing. Like you said, memories will stay with you. I was hesitant at first because I was attached to the memories. I reliased that I can keep the photos and the memories.  My motivations are:

1.) My data. Leaving it on Facebook would mean someone else is capitalising on my data even though I was not using it. It does not sit well with me.

2.)Setting an example. I have nieces and nephews, they are addicted to FB. So if I make a point, I need to show it by action. My family is in the Philippines. Their way of contacting me is through FB Messenger. When I deleted it. It forces them to use other apps like Simplex.

3.) I have out grown Meta and Mark Zuckerberg! Want nothing from his app.

In short, the reasons for deleting it must be important for you. Otherwise, you will waver when you review the photos and face the memories. It must be your courage — the reasons. ☺


I DELETED Facebook! But it was hard, not because of Facebook, but because of the memories. 😔

My Facebook was deactivated by the end of 2019. Now, I have finally DELETED it along with my Messenger. 🗑

When I was moving my data into my storage, I had to review photos 📸 that dated back to the time I created my Facebook account. It was rough. 😬😮💨

I realised how much I have grown, how I have changed, and how many silly lapses in judgement I had.
It was a "digital public diary" of myself. Reviewing it and reminiscing about those times made me ask:
"Was I like that? Why did I post that? Why did I say that? To whose benefit?" 🤔

My younger self was so immature, very much an attention seeker, and very tactless, always seeking validation—"come look at me." It was hard to watch at first. I went to check my friend list one last time and realised I barely have one thing in common with them. I could no longer relate to them. Only a handful of them I stay in touch with. It is neither good nor bad. It only means I have learned my lessons, and I continue to do so. I have evolved, as has my outlook, my worldview, and how I value true connection. 🤝🌱

I'd never say it will be pitch perfect from now on, that there will be no more mistakes or foolishness. I'd say I may have more of it because I have learned to take bigger risks than my younger self. I take life as it comes and do my utmost for whatever comes my way. I live it as if it is my last so I can appreciate it even more. 🙏👌

In fact, my new chapter has only begun, and I am excited to find this tribe and have the privilege to share this journey with you. 🤗

If you made it this far, thank you for your time, and see you around. ❤🫂

indeed 🫂🤗


well said ❤💯 thank you for sharing it with us. 🫂


how are you coping with it? (genuinely curious)


💯 love it! I second this...🫂


omg...this is so creative. could I share it? ❤


what are we testing? (curious 🤣)


Ocean, water and seashore are very therapeutic. I love it ☺👏💯


Thank you for this? I will add it to my list! 🫂🤓☺


ha ha - spot on. But we were struggling with this. It was unlimited. Those were the only food that we couls fit on the table! 🤣 For £15 you could eat 'til you drop lol We only lasted about 1.5 hr or 2 hrs at best! 😬🤣👌 I defo recommend it.


indeed. I am hoping it stays this way. We are the community and we set the tone. Let's keep it that way. 🙏❤


I'd say we got lucky because it could have been worse. Real adversary will come without warning. The action from nostr:nprofile1qqsyf0zcdjen32scm07vj9umdywmdzqfupe9wk835wzr0v8ht7dcw8gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcks7uj7 got the dev team speed up the discussion and reprioritise. Funny because I went to ask if we did some pentesting on nostr. It seems someone was thinking the same. Spamming is not obviously comprehensive red teaming (offensive attack) . Nevertheless, it is a start. ☺🤓


So pleased nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wvh8xmmrd9skchd02dz for this sensible take. I can see why some may not see the positive side of this esp if it is their work or their "baby" is at stake. But greatness requires moving past your pride and ego. 🫂 Whilst it is frustrating, sometimes tough love is required to accelerate the discussion esp if it is common knowledge within the tech community that it is a problem. I'd say, I'd prefer to have a friendly red team than a malicious one. Yes, it is frustrating to the non-tech but we are also early adopters so we have high tolerance for this eventuality. In the end, we are hoping to see a solution that will not compromise the foundation of nostr - censorship resistant. ❤👌


amazing 👏👌


So true 💯 agree on verifying claims. Every content I see esp in Youtube, I take it as a pinch of salt. Unless, like you said, you can verify it. I have not personally gone into deep research about 440Hz though. Funny enough, the first book that I read about this was from Jordan Maxwell, Secrets of the Elite. But have not had the chance to check his sources. Hence, I posted last time if anyone read his book.

So you play harmonium? Impressive! 🤓 I just ordered my Tibeten singing bowls. This is as far as singing I can get. tsk tsk 🤣

I have learned about Solfeggio before I knew the name of it by accident through practice. Defo agree on the healing and destructive frequencies available out there. 🫂❤

Will look into the link you shared. Ty ☺


Well said. If you scroll to the comments, yoh can see the insane of spam!

My experience on #nostr has been affected massively. I am praying we can get out from here and decent solution is available soon. 🙏

What toxic behaviour you have noticed when you visited #Philippines

Or your experience with Filipinos or working with Filipinos? Let me know your thoughts #nostr below. 👇

As someone who grew up in the Philippines and lived in the UK over a decade now.
I have always been fascinated how people received Filipinos beyond the hospitable, smiling and helpful persona that a lot of tourists would say.

This is not to shame my country of birth but a journey to see the "Dark Truth of Filipino Culture and Behaviours".

I do not take offence because my ethnicity is  Filipino. I am genuinely curious to have a respectful discussion! 👇☺❤✌

ty for sharing this. I never really thought of this in this view. Now you mentioned it, indeed it makes sense. I 💯 agree,

- you go out for the experience esp if it is a special occassion and the last thing you want is to grab your phone! You are there to connect in person. 🤝🫂❤

I can also see the appeal why people want the QR code when they are in a busy coffee shop where it is self-service. Not always a fan of long queue. 😞

I guess if it is a fine dining then the QR code would put me off. So if self-service establishment when you are on the go, quick break then I don't mind the QR code. Other than then I'd opt out.

You view is defo very insightful. 🤓☺👌


456 🤣✌


I'd say only their circumstance can. Until one realizes that status, label or ego are doing them deservice in a tough, life changing moment in their life; only then they can break out of the herd. There is nothing bad about the herd mentality, it is in our human nature. It becomes a challenge when the herd could be the undoing of what we ought to break free from or we seek to protect. 🤓☺


I hear you.  ☺

"no need to give her a participation trophy for making herself look like a fool and her fellow students"

If in life we stop ourselves from experiencing anything because of looking like a fool or how others may look because of our behaviour, we will never learn. One can only learn by making mistakes or by failing or by making a fool of yourself! You sound very logically and I am pretty sure you had some laps of judgements or foolish decisions in the past. Otherwise, you won't be this wise rn. Mistakes are there to serve as a lessons. We all do it. It's a good chat though. All the best! 🤓🫂

I'd personally would not consider it self-censor in a sense that I give respect to others as much as I want to be respected. I also ask myself, if I am at the receiving end of this, how would I feel? My point is if I speak ill to others, it speaks volume of my character, how much self-respect I have in myself. This is different too from constructive feedback. Respect begets respect. ☺❤✌


I can understand why you say it that way. Regardless whether she volunteered or not, she is still on the spotlight because all eyes on hers. By definition of spotlight. I can also understand why it is easy to dismiss one's opinion just because you think they are uneducated or ill informed. Whether their opinion is baseless, valueless, or valuable, they have the right to express it—the same privilege that is afforded to you for expressing yours here on #nostr. 🤓☺


*woman (typo)


My observation on this video is based on what I have watched whether this is a skits or edited or unedited. The two men handled the conversation respectfully and with critical thinking. I am not sure how old the woman is because she seems to be unprepared for the discussion or was struggling to give her points across. I mentioned the age in the view of how one can logically articulate or construct their thoughts — a sign of fully developed prefrontal lobe which is responsible for reasoning. Regardless, kudos on her for being brave and be put on the spotlight. 🤓❤
