General groves: You’re a dilettante, a womanizer and suspected communist. Oppenheimer: I’m a new deal democrat. Me: Isn’t that what he said?

Anybody have a good source for non cannabis herbals / essential oils? My wife wants to get some Grapefruit Seed Oil, but for medical use, and so while I'm not opposed to someone who sells on amazon, I don't want to just go on amazon and search and hope for the best. If you have someone you use and are happy with please let me know! Thanks! #AskNostr

So I had a problem on nostr earlier and shared it. Someone saw it, and tagged it with #asknostr to get more eyes on it and get me some help. Which they did and it was great. So now my question is, is the #askNostr tag specifically for questions ABOUT nostr, or is if for any question you want to toss out to everyone? Don't want to abuse or misuse the good natured folks out here, but have a few questions that I'd love to get broader input on if I can.

So yesterday I followed someone called essential oils who shares tips and uses for essential oils. This morning, they were the ONLY person I was following. Even searched for someone I knew I was following and their page had a 'follow' button rather than an 'unfollow' button. No idea how that happens..?

OK, so I know NOTHING about this person. No idea what her job is, no idea 'which side' she's on, but; If you're not aware that HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of politicians the world over have worked VERY diligently to 'destroy europes economy', you're still asleep. image

There is no longer respite for reflecting or choosing or adapting oneself, or for acting or wishing or pulling oneself together. The rule of life is: No sooner said than done. Life has become a racecourse... a succession of objective events which drag us along and lead us astray without anything affording us the possibility of standing apart, taking stock and ceasing to act. - The Technological Society by Jacques Ellul #GrowNostr

I watched Terminator 2 over the weekend. Then listened through the commentary. Was fascinated to find where one of my favorite scenes came from. James Cameron always strikes me as an egomaniac, but in this seemed very humble and was enjoyably informative. In any event, he talked about the scene where Sara is on tape talking to the psych and he keeps assuring her everything is fine, what she believes is crazy, and her recurring dream is JUST a dream. The conversation famously ends with Sara 'breaking down' and screaming "You're the one living in a fucking dream". During the commentary he revealed how he was a teenager when he realized that the cold war was going on, that there was the possibility of nuclear war at practically any moment. And that EVERYBODY knew. He said he was astonished that the world around him was just casually going on with their lives rather than doing something or even SAYING something about it, and when he expressed concern they acted like he was the crazy. This is how I feel anymore ANY time I talk to 'the straights' about; Government, currency, banking, 'terrorism', and frankly most any other thing. If it's thanksgiving or something, I try to say it politely, but always make sure to let them know, that they are living in a fucking dream. #GrowNostr #GrowSanity image

LOVING Invidious I just feel less dirty being able to watch videos without going to youtube. In October of 2020 I said: "Refuse to be cataloged and herded and indexed. Where you can, disconnect from not only their systems of control, but also their very awareness and influence." Invidious seems another logical and wonderful step along that path. #GrowNostr #GrowPrivacy
