I don’t want to be a “player”
I want to be a lover
Cause in the end,
Players lose
And lovers win.

Hello, I haven't written for a few days, I don't want any attention or sato for the above, because for me this channel is more of a place where I write something like my diary that everyone can read. In recent days, my mental health has been worse, so much so that I didn't want to have contact with anyone, so much so that I told the only friend I've known for 4 years via the Discord platform that I don't want to keep in touch with him at all. In general, I am not a very talkative person, which I haven't said before, so much so that I talk to about 10 people during the day, either via the Internet or normally with my family or, shall I say, with friends? Anyway, never mind, I've also had some stupid ideas lately, including one of them being the desire to have a head-on collision with a car, I won't say more because I think it's too drastic. The last few days have been a little better and I went back to this friend to tell him what and how, but I see and have the impression that after this situation he is very distant from me.
Sometimes people drift away from us when we are at our lowest because they feel like they don't know what to say, or how to say it. Sometimes revealing our dark sides ignites theirs; and most don't want to face their dark sides.
Anyway, I know you didn't ask for any, but my suggestions would be: go out, get some sun, touch some grass. Work out and/or engage in any creative endeavour you prefer. Realize that you're not the only one going through similar things - and in that vain, be kind to people. Smile to people, even if it's a forced smile - more often than not, they'll smile back. And most likely, that smile will result in you smiling for real :)
Last but not least; "this too shall pass," whatever it is.
🧡
thank you, so you are saying that after some time everything will return to normal when it comes to your relationship with this friend, but it takes time, as I understand it? I know it will be hard for me with all these exercises, sun, etc. but thanks for the advice anyway, maybe I will be able to use it
No, not necessarily. It might, and if that person really cares about you, it will, but sometimes people drift away from us and we have to be OK with letting them go. Just, if they need space, give them space. What I primarily meant is that the feelings / the darkness you might be experiencing, will pass. They say it's the darkest before dawn... and if you've really seen, felt, experienced the darkness, the contrast of the light will be even more apparent & even more beautiful.
This is why Jordan Peterson said:
“If you gaze into the abyss long enough, you see the light, not the darkness.”
You know, I compiled some ideas into a couple of posts not too long ago, maybe they could be useful to you:

ON ENLIGHTENMENT: #548857
Take care! :)

This prompted me to look through @saloon's posts.
@k00b did you change the author of the original Daily Discussion Posts to @saloon?
Yes, many moons ago.
Nice. I remember when you changed to use @saloon so you didn't get bombarded with notifications daily, but I didn't realize you retroactively changed the old posts to be from @saloon, too.
I must've. @saloon's first post was #7406 which is way earlier than when @saloon started posting.

Today I was helping my daughter to install a new app. I was suggesting to use different password as she has always been using the same one previously. We check it and , in some apps, her old password had been compromised. So I mentioned about using a password manager to create the password. She got into it and finding it useful. Small step to change behaviour….

In the right spaces, you won't have to shout to be heard. You won't have to shine a flashlight on your wounds to be seen. You won't have to change the language in your soul's dictionary to be understood, and you will be able to come as you are without having to alter your identity… But only in the right spaces!
maybe you only wanted to be heard by the right people too:)
Yep! It should be added, "by the right people". "In the right places and in front of the right people, you won't have to ...".

Sunday snail has arrived
I'm a snail eater
https://m.stacker.news/32644
When in Japan, eat hotate (scallops). They are caught widely from north of Tohoku to the Okhotsk Sea. They are also farmed around Mutsu Bay of Aomori and all over Hokkaido. In particular, around the Okhotsk Sea, young scallops are released into the sea and grown on the seabed for four or five years. Large-scaled wild scallops are produced using this method.
Scallops contain an abundance of taurine, which leads to the prevention of heart disease and hardening of the arteries. They also come with zinc, which increases metabolism.
You could relish scallops with butter soy sauce or with Chinese white cabbage (chingensai).
Enjoying this beautiful greenish park on a sunny day with puffy white clouds scattered across the bright blue sky... What more could you want from a sunny Sunday? 👀

Wow! Great photo. It looks like a peaceful place.
Thank you @siggy47! Yep, it is!
Im not going to lie, I cant belive I kept my cap for 29 days.
It took me a lot longer to pull that off.
Yeah, its because I figured out the algorithm. lol
Oh yeah, zap 5 people a day ten sats. Great find.
I think I did know how to keep it, but I hadn't made SN a consistent daily habit and people were zapping a lot less back, so sometimes I fell short.
There are some days I think I cut it close because I dont put a message up or zap people.
But I try to be consistent, I think that helps.
I should post my own original posts, though.
Sometimes my ideas arent good enough to post, though.
I dont want to post garbage. lol
If you post stuff that's authentically you, you'll do well from it. If you try to say what you think everyone else wants to hear, you'll probably struggle.
But you have all the necessary ingredients to be authentically yourself.
Sometimes I get more engagement than I expected on posts that aren't well thought out.
You could try summarizing your thoughts and what you're unsure about, then ask what others think.
That might be something to do.
I have a lot of thoughts on a lot of subjects.
Sunday reflection:
The fact that today's man - especially the European and American - has lost any kind of critical filter for what he is told and served - and for this it is enough to watch Eurovision - shows that he is in deep crisis. This crisis is not moral, it is anthropological. It is the crisis of man. Man is in crisis and does not know what to do. We're already facing the consequences, but the crisis will be deeper if humans don’t t find solutions soon…

Plebeians, or lower class “commoners”, are controlled by Roman Common Law to become the debtors. Patricians were the upper class who benefited from the credit of the people by making them both the creditors and the debtors.
Note: the origin of the name “court” is a place to trade debt and bonds; this has been going on for over 2000 years, and has not changed to this day.

THIS IS A POWERFUL TRUTH THAT VERY FEW (even bitcoiners) WANT TO COMPREHEND.
People nowadays just go along with what system says and sign the papers, without even knowing that with their own signature they created the money, that later will pay like slaves for decades.
Oh yeah, only you and a select few others know the truth. I swear this place is just a circle-jerk for loners who want to feel special.

Somewhere, something went terribly wrong !!
https://m.stacker.news/32633
Perhaps it was wrong from the start in this image? 👀
It was definitely wrong from the start! 👀
Booked a ticket for tomorrow, and I am off to adventuring again; I think the nomad blood is within me somehow... and it was so funny, I was a bit indecisive about where to go next, but then I randomly found out there would be a culture festival in one of them, done! ( pay attention to the hints that are sent to you when you are not sure about something. )
Now, I have a different focus in choosing where to go than I used to, and I might have traveled a bit in the past, but I just realized that I was only touching the superficial layer...Expected to see some of my adventures soon!
Enjoy it! And share your experience with us!

Great memories from childhood. I had one with four hippos!!
They still have those big sets around. But my wife didn’t buy it because it lacked a cover. She’s scared that my baby girl will eat the small balls
Sunday snail?
Sensei’s here though. Does that count?
Can Mrs Cryotosensei conduct a Katatsumuri check?
I’m impressed you know the Japanese for snail! Did you watch the movie?
No - I’m afraid not. I had to look that one up. Is it a Disney movie? In English I think there was one called ‘Turbo’
Maybe it's not about going or searching the places that is more popular with Bitcoin if you are willing to do the work yourself.
So far, I've paid Airbnb hosts/rent, devs who I work with, some of the restaurants I go to all the time, VPN, Mail, Domain, and basically most of my web setup switched to paid in sats. Told my dentist to accept Bitcoin too, but my treatment just finished, woohooo 🤓 ( anyone would like to know more about my adventure getting orthodontic treatments in Istanbul during the pandemic time? )
You don't need the whole world to accept Bitcoin; seriously, all you need is the people around you; And be selective, only pill the good ones, don't waste your energy.

Yes, he is posting some quality content these days. I agree. Be it the post about 'Stacker News Pitch or about gaming self defeating' all are great pieces of writing. Also when it comes to posting links from mises, they are also worth reading.
That's because UD has so much cool stuff to say! I always enjoy their stuff, and GR although I wish I was able to spend more time in their respective territories and engage more with their stuff. But I find myself swamped with my normal daily requirements and then ~Music, so much engagement recently (which is brilliant).
Congrats! We'll have to think up a way for you to delegate some of that, so we can run into you in the other territories.
I don't have any territories, btw, that would be a bit too disciplined for my taste.
At this point he’s the only one.
Everyone just wants to say things that they think the algo will like.
The algo is crushing real conversation here.
I appreciate it. Since MSM ended, I rediscovered how much more I like discussion than just writing posts for the sake of writing posts.
Same Same. Don't need that pressure. LOL!
You will always do better here being yourself than being the algo’s bitch…
the algo is rigged anyways. And yes, the algo is a bitch.
People will remember my words about SN:
https://m.stacker.news/32654
The man himself, thanks for the advice.
I dunno about that 😂😂😉 I've done better dropping salute emojis on people's content that I like than I have put of content I put out 😂
But I agree in principle, be authentic and people tend to prefer that, the algorithm will catch up eventually, you just gotta keep at it.
Salute emojis pay for the territory… lol
Really?
I like posts and comments from a few people I know here.
You might not be hitting the right articles.....or getting involved in the right comments.
No, I just see the same people getting stroked every day.
It’s simple. People think zapping specific content gets them more sats.
So conversation is stale and stagnant.
That does happen sadly…
Are you talking about me?
I consistently get stroked on here :P
I ain’t stroking it… put it away..
No. Sorry if I came at you.
I get passionate. I am a dick.
This place could be great. It’s going to lose to a fatal design flaw.
I don't totally disagree with this. I think the algo needs adjustment. I was on the site in the middle of the night (eastern time) commenting and zapping people. The new leaderboard rolled out and I started in 3rd and then suddenly I was 4th and the person ahead of me had 2 comments with no replies or zaps and 124 sats zapped. How did they pass me when I had zapped thousands of sats and was carrying on a conversation with 3 or 4 people and zapping back and forth. They just happened to zap the right post or comments from top value stackers.
I am not complaining I get a lot of sats rewards but something is broken with the algo when I routinely see stackers in the the top 10 with 2 comments and a few hundred sats zapped meanwhile guys like Tom are posting great econ information multiple times a day and interacting with commenters and they are ten places lower than someone who spent like 2 minutes on the site. Illogical.
I understand the need to control spam which is why the algo is so skewed to value but it is creating reflexivity where stackers only want to zap and engage with top posts and users. That is not healthy long term.
I agree, but if you look at the graphs for when people post, when we are on everyone else is off.
@grayruby when we are posting, most arent replying.
I'd be really interested in reading a post where you elaborate on that.
Something to know is that the site developers are very willing to adapt the site mechanics when they see a problem. It's sort of on us to articulate what isn't working and brainstorm solutions.
Everything about SN is a work in progress and it's all early.
Thirded.
I suck at posts without numbers, but I will try.
Seconded… would like to hear your thoughts @bitties
Haha
Its okay.
You should visit @cryotosensei, @Undisciplined, @Public_N_M_E, @TNStacker, @grayruby, @siggy47.
They all make good comments and flesh out their ideas.
Aw, thanks!
Thanks!
great list
You mean he finished transferring all Mises articles to SN? Jk, I agree
And not sure if he and somebody else, at least apply those articles in real life.
I see many people full of "theory" but in practice are zero "applicants".
They still use govID, pay regular taxes, go to vote (libertarian parties), obey all govs rules and just continue to make noise for nothing.
Only few wants to make the important step: be a real sovereign individual and don't give a shit about anything else.
lol
I have always liked @Undisciplined posts and comments.
He is a great person to riff off of.
I enjoy the real world experience he brings.
I don't know if it has to do with summer, or what, but the conversations have definitely slowed down a bit.
Getting insights that feel like they come from real people is one of my favorite things about SN interactions.
It is enjoyable to watch the leaderboard when it isnt funded.
There seems to be a lot less interactions from the higher winners lol
It has slowed down since that March Madness thing.
