Sometimes life may seem overwhelming. Remember that even the worst moments eventually pass. You just have to keep going forward, one day at a time. Keep your head up and don’t tap out. Challenges only make you stronger. #letsgo #gn

Hi. I don’t post behind a pseudonym because I believe in complete freedom and don’t have the need to hide. I believe in freedom. Freedom of speech. Freedom to choose what I do with my time. Freedom to do what I want with my money. Freedom to have my opinion. Freedom period. I say what I feel I need to say and I don’t worry about it. That’s privilege for sure. I live in a country where I can do that. So I’ll say what I want to honor those that fought for my right to do so. Seeing a lot of countries ban people’s right to speak is disgusting. The UK, Brazil, etc. it’s a shame the government feels a need to outlaw or jail someone for their words. I think this is one of the most important topics currently and #nostr literally fixes that (mostly). I may not agree with what you say, but I won’t oppose your right to say it. Nostr allows you to do that. #grownostr #pleb #plebchain #nostriches #freespeech #freedom

Saying #nostr is awesome on nostr itself is kind of pointless as most people here get it. Honestly it’s hard to explain to others, my current pitch is: “It’s like twitter but no one can ban you or censor what you say… oh and your content goes with you if you decide to use another nostr app/client.” People will get it eventually by network effect or forced to join because they themselves were a victim or censorship. help spread the word and #grownostr

GM! Most people are privileged in some way, it’s a fact of life. Playing a victim because others were born into money, with connections, a particular skin tone, a different accent, with or without siblings, good or bad childhood, etc. won’t get you anywhere. Different generations acquire and lose certain privileges. Don’t like your situation? Do something about it. Stop whining and make the change you want for yourself and others. It’s funny because most of the people I see complaining about privilege are people either born or living in the USA. How privileged is that? Don’t be a victim. #gm #letsgo #nostr #plebs

How idiotic is this point of view? I have no clue what the Kennedy family relationship is like, but effectively choosing a political party over your brother is short-sighted and just sad. Even if you disagree with them. Also, kind of hilarious to feel the need to share a ‘personal statement’ about it. No one cares what the rest of the Kennedy family thinks of what RFK Jr decides to do. image

This program beats any FHA or VA home loan program. I’ll take this loan any day! “California Moves Toward Zero-Down-Payment Mortgages for Illegal Immigrants … The bill will effectively allow migrants to buy homes without having to save for years to fund a down payment, which is almost always required by financial firms providing mortgages. The loans from the program don't accrue interest or require monthly payments, and when the main mortgage is refinanced or the house is sold again, the borrower pays back the original amount of the loan plus 20 percent of any increase in value.”

GM! Burning some calories while catching up with #nostriga conference videos. So far, looks like a great conference with good panels. People who hate on #nostr saying there’s no audience are missing the point(s): True freedom of speech and ownership of your content. If that’s not the killer feature, I don’t know what is. #gm #plebchain #freedom #workout https://www.youtube.com/live/9p6mfqcP9Ic

Today was a challenging day. Not a bad day, a great day actually. A good combination of physical work, lots of driving around, crazy weather, weird social interactions, important decision making, technical difficulties, a few last minute rushes, etc. Not every day is like this but I’m grateful to have everything work out, be busy, and able to get things done. Challenging days can be considered either good or bad. I choose for them to be good. Good night! #letsgo #plebchain #business #gn

GM! People say a lot of things. Most of what they say or share are recycled thoughts they were too lazy to think about or verify. Think your own thoughts and make your own decisions. Have a great day! #letsgo #coffeechain #cafecito #gm image

GM! Reminder to think for yourself. Just because someone is influential, opinionated, has a lot of followers, lives in a fancy house, has nice cars, etc. does not mean they know more or can make better decisions than you. One of the most difficult things to do in life is think for yourself. It takes courage to make your own decisions. Mostly because it feels like you’re on your own. Get comfortable with that. Don’t seek external validation. #gm #nostr #plebchain #letsgo

GM! Set and complete at least one goal per day and achieve it as early as possible. It can be anything. Call a potential client. Mow the lawn. Workout. Follow up on something. The feeling of achievement is contagious and will motivate you to do more. Getting things done is a natural prescription to avoid procrastination and anxiety. #letsgo #plebchain

GM! Enjoy your Sunday. Disconnect. Do something you like with people you care about.
