This is one of the funniest things that can be done with strangers, for example. I like this approach because it's so polarizing. If you get the other person to smile or laugh, you get an immediate connection. Otherwise they just consider you a mental case...which in my situation could even be the truth lol

Digital detox shall be part of every internet user's life. I like your compromises. As a side note with regards to writing and accessing documents offline, it's mental to see how many people use cloud-based services to do a simple thing that is writing. You shouldn't need an internet connection to write, cmon. To me the best writing setup - if you're willing to do typing and not handwriting - is to use plain text formats like markdown. No need for "no distraction mode" or any other thing...simply a blank page and the cursor. Then you can decide to upload files wherever you want or you can even do the chad thing of syncing them with a Versioning system like Git and self host or use a privacy oriented Git remote service. To me that's the best writing setup and it's innately offline.

Hey Annie, are you still here? Loved your "yes man" post, thanks.

I want to have a go and disagree.

We associate wisdom with the

and also

These are some of the most commonly shared properties of wisdom.

If so, then a wise man/woman can separate the challenges worth attending to and the ones that are not. This is not necessairly associated with "knowledge" in a strict sense.

But a knowledgeable person can have a lot of stuff in his/her brain and not being able to use that knowledge to live properly. If not able to do so, then grief and sorrow can be real and happening.

From literature, you have the example of Ivan Karamazov in the Karamazov Brothers. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, has his way with words. But he doesn't have wisdom, that's why he is bitter and sad. Father Kolima, in the other hand, is wise and knowledgeable. But his clarity comes fron the fact that he put into practice the good stuff he learned. And that's the beginning of wisdom.

So yeah, Knowledge that is not put at work can generate sorrow and bitterness and sadness. But if you put that into work, I believe that it can turn into wisdom. And with wisdom rarely sorrow and bitterness arise.

I'm genuinely happy to read this, thanks. You've understood how to not be a "tyran with yourself as a slave". Good luck with the parenting adventure!

Wow

Is it a real place?

In my experience, it's just that generally company thinks that "it's good enough" and employees think that too. Nowadays companies spend more on bullshit pseudo motivational HR stuff rather than actual wellness.

Your art is magnificent. Thanks

As a "young person" I do think that my generation simply switched to a different set of addictions.

Let me explain.

If you are a smoker, a drinker, a gambler, you have to DO something. Actively seek the casino, the pack of sigarettes, a pub to drink. You have to go out there to get the excitement.

With the new addictions, excitement is in you pocket. The cost to access it is zero, the marginal cost of consuming an additional unit of it is zero. Addiction is limitless.

So yeah, as an insider I would say that his will be the sickest generation, ever.

YES!

As the saying goes:

Bitcoin is useful in a lot of ways, but the more catchy thing is the easiness of use of wallets. Well done

Jitsi meet

You can use the free instance or self host it. It lets you generate invitation links and lets you discriminate between admin partecipants and simple partecipants.

Have a go, you might like it

DCAing is a really good idea. I used to wish I did buy more and whatever, but at the end of the day you cannot change the past. You took the best decision with the information at dispose.

With regards to buying KYC-free sats, I don't have specific suggestions rather than avoiding KYC services. In Europe we have some providers like Pocket that let you buy sats with your bank account but without KYC. Otherwise, just go for Robosats. If you're DCAing, Robosats is the best choice.

I would also suggest to buy sats with cash if possible, but p2p trades in cash are almost disappeared and are also very dangerous. Nonetheless, ff you have a net of peers and trusted bitcoiners, you can start from that. There's always someone in need for some fiat shitcoins because of emergencies etc.

Have a nice one

Thanks for this Cryotosensei, I always appreciate your insights. Yep, gift cards make up almost 95% of my net spendings in sats too, so I can understand. Have you ever considered doing collateralization stuff in p2p landing? As for the Nostr matter, I've been there a lot and I could say that it's a very nice place to be. Stacker News earnings largely exceed the amount of sats you can be zapped in Nostr, that's very clear.

I've never KYCd the sats. The choice was taken lightly but turned out to be the best one.

I agree on that. My country has 33% capital gain taxes, I guess I would have to solve it too. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion Darth. I'm a bit annoyed by the KYC procedures, that's why I'm a bit distant from that solution. Is there a "No KYC plan" or something?

"young" is when you think that by doing one thing - just one and only one little thing - your future will change. Just like Raskolnikov did. Young means not having patience even if the whole Life is ahead. I do believe that Crime and Punishment is directly speaking to the hearts of young people.

Great choice. In my opinion reading that novel is a life changing experience. Enjoy

God, this is beautiful. Thanks God for motherhood.
