My living room is outside. The sounds of a toddler pitter pattering around asking questions. Old friends and a beautiful wife. You can't beat it.

Thanksgiving hookah.

GM Happy Thanksgiving to all my nostr friends, even the ones who dont see this lol.

With swallow nest extract. Weird. Gotta try new things. I'll let you know how it is.

People wity small children: what are your methods to make food for them? Do you just feed them off the shelf feed, or do you make them special things? How far do you take it, do you grow everything yourself? I personally use an immersion blender quite often. It's eggs, beans, frozen fruits, fresh fruits, meat, fish. I don't put any effort into making it taste good because I want my kid to be mentally able to eat anything that is nutritious and value tasty things as treats. Only if he absolutely can't stand something do I avoid it in the future.

I could live under a tarp right here the rest of my life. Thankfully I live a 5 minute walk from right here so life's still pretty good.

Tore my bicep tendon a little bit fucking with 5 gallon water jugs. Doctor said I'd be fine, a very small tear, but still. That was the trigger, I was getting tired of filling them for drinking water every week, like an African woman taking a trip to the spring with buckets, but I didn't get fed up until I had to worry about permanent injury. So I finally bought a reverse osmosis system for my family. Waiting on some components, it's nice to know that soon I will have pure drinking water on tap no matter where I live. This thing cost me roughly 10% the cost of my dwelling lol. Health is more important than comfort.

We don't understand what has happened with phones, the internet, algorithms and that with regard to what it means to be a human mind. Think about playing a multiplayer game vs playing a one player game. With a one player game, the detail, granularity, all has to be deliberately coded in there. There is no dynamism in a single player game. But with a multiplayer game, the right set of a handful of constraints, combined with the fact that you're playing it with other human minds, leads to a dynamic feedback that is unpredictable. It has detail as far as gameplay that were not coded in. It evolves. You're always trying to master something new. Think of this in an additional dimension. Compare looking at your phone to looking up at the sky, or at the things happening in the woods, listening to the noise of the animals, navigating environments full of sweaty, smelly, different people, tactle interaction. The detail in the real world is immeasurably more than the detail in your interactions and activities online. It's not a perfect analogy, because there is dynamism online (provided you're interacting with real people, that's a very interesting but different conversation altogether), but that's why I added another dimension, the dynamism is constrained. The world is smaller looking down at your lap vs looking up at the universe. What does this choice to choose to primarily interact on your phone to your mind, to your existence as a being? How does this change your nature as the animal you are? How does this modify what consciousness is, what creativity is? Is it constraining you in your potentially unlimited scope in a predictable way? Can it be used to free you? Can it be used to capture that creativity from you? In what cases could it be used for each, what behaviors must you deliberately choose when using this tool that enables the former, permissionlessly, and protects you from the latter? Do you have to touch grass, as a base case requirement for this?

So apparently upside down pineapples means youre a swinger. Got a really out there shirt at the thrift store, wore it to a party and now all my elderly neighbors think I want to wife swap. Wish I had got the memo.

You know what's better than going camping? Staying camping.
