I have notebooks of thoughts accumulated over the years.
I'm going through these notebooks this holiday season to possibly edit anonamize and publish on the web someplace for others (man and machine) to find.
I'd like to have the following features;
1 - KYC free access for audience/
2 - Censorship resistant
3 - An apple like UI for both audience and publisher
4 - Free for audience
5 - Minimal fee for the publisher
Substack is not an option for me.
What platform would you use for this task?

The Latin word "adrogare" is often translated to English as "to corrupt" or "to debilitate". However, it can also be translated as "to emasculate" or "to castrate", particularly in a historical or literary context.
In Latin, "adrogare" is a verb that means to weaken or emascalate someone, often in a figurative sense. For example, it could mean to deprive someone of their virility or masculine strength.

Some captain obvious stuff maybe.
My fear hack;
Face it QUICKLY and eat it. If you truly believe you're in the right, there's never anything to worry about.
That's worked for me 95% of the time in my life.
As for that remaining 5%, well it used to be 95%. So we're making progress.

To the #NostrDads, you may notice that you begin to view your adult child as an actual adult, kind of your peer, instead of your child after they become parents.

Hey, Cali Mike, this was 8 years ago. I ran a half marathon 10 months later and a full marathon (not my best time) 11 months after the wreck.
And was back on my new bike within a year.
So 98% recovered.
As for the remaining 2% I've been treated by the best surgeons and physical therapist. It's not likely I'll ever be 100% on that front.
But, the pain and suffering paid off two mortgages and bought me a strip mall which was later sold for some orange thing you all are always talking about. Lol.

#Dogstr #2 the female Corso has 2 names. Most people IRL think her name is Wiggles. But it's not. That's the word I use when I'm speaking about her and not too her.
When I need her to focus, there is a secret name (command).
She is the first dog that I've done this with. I also began doing the same with #3. But due to current circumstances, it's likely not going to stick with #3, the way that it has with #2.
I decided after my last dog (Flako) that my next dog and I should speak our own language that makes no sense to other people. sometimes when in public spaces, I had to whisper commands to him, which can draw unnecessary attention. Not a fan of attention 90% of the time.
A dogs name is a command. The more people that can command your dog, the more chances there are for misbehavior and miscommunications.
This note was inspired by my mom's neighbor. Cool dude and dogstr has accepted him into the fold. But he asked this morning if she had hearing problems, bc sometimes Wiggles doesn't respond to Wiggles. 👀 My response...she is probably just tired. I felt bad for about 10 seconds for lying to him.

Disclaimers; this is possibly a captain obvious type post. But just in case some of you didn't know. Take heed.
To you single #NostrMen, if you're out with a woman:
that you know to be single,
and it's just the two of you,
and it's not a work or a business engagement, it's probably a date. So act like you know and carry yourself accordingly.

I would add Bitcoin is everything that men can't understand about women and that women cant understand about men. Hence the 50% divorce rate. I haven't seen any studies on this but I suspect couple that Bitcoin together are less likely to get a divorce.

Now that's actually peaked my curiosity. 👀
He speaks on similar points to Candace?
Or was he banned for some other type of truth telling?

A fool that's actually a pretty busy guy and YouTube is a thing that plays in the background while I do what needs getting done in my life.
Well, when I need specific content I override the algo and search. But I don't NEED Candace or Nick for anything, so it's not likely I'll ever search for him.
But I think I get your real point.

🙏🏽 Reed. I agree.
We've had a phone convo since I posted the note.
My mental gymnastics was for nothing. Lol.
She actually thought she dominated the convo and felt that she didn't give me a chance to speak more. I eased her of those concerns. I didn't even get a chance to tell her about these thoughts. Maybe some day I will, if this ever evolves into an intentional thing.

Well dang dissident, why don't you tell us how you really feel about her. Lol.
Dunno Nick, but I'm sure the algo will land him in my feed at some point.

I had an interesting text exchange with mini-me last night.
She wanted to let me know that she's following me on Twitter (yes, I'm still on twitter).
I thought to myself, well that's odd, bc I'm anon on twitter. Well, not anon to you lot, but anon to my normie friends and family.
Additionally, I didn't know she was on twitter. Shes always been active with her IG community, but never knew her to be on twitter. And she has a baby now too, how does she have time for tweets.
So, I asked her to prove it. And she sends me a screenshot of my profile and she's right, it was me.
I immediately went into a panic. Hopped on twitter and began scrolling through my entire timeline (over 10 years of stuff) to see if I've ever posted anything she might process as hurtful. I don't find anything.
But to all you anon nostr nyms, be mindful that this could happen to you too.
You can't really delete nostr notes and that's both a big and a feature.

Not sure why the YouTube algo has kept her off my feed as long as it has.
Freaking #Algo SMH.
Yes, I appreciate her content. But she's speaking against some pretty powerful forces. I hope she understands all of what that means.

I like her show(s). She's gotta be a bitcoiner.

This a long one #nostr fam. Feel free to bookmark and maybe come back to it when time is on your side.
Missed Opportunity: A Lunch Date in Florida
As I sit down to write this #Nostr note, I can't help but think about the missed opportunity that was my lunch date just a few hours ago. Florida the Sunshine State has its charms, but for someone like me who lives in Pennsylvania, it's not an ideal place to call home - at least, not permanently.
My mom moved to Florida from New York some 30 years ago and due to recent decline in her health, I've been staying with her to help manage her care. It's a taxing situation, but one that requires my presence. Amidst the chaos of caregiving, I had the opportunity to go on a lunch date with a woman I met through our shared love for Cane Corsos.
Our initial interactions were centered around our dogs and their playdates, which was all about the canines' wellbeing. It wasn't until this particular lunch date that we finally got a chance to focus solely on each other. No mom, no dog and no cell phones.
The conversation flowed easily, the venue was delightful, and the weather was perfect for a post-lunch walk on the beach, which we did. Oh and found a cool beach spot that I can bring the dogstr to in Deerfield Beach. 👍🏽
I digress....
So why did I feel like I had missed an opportunity? As I reflected on our conversation during my drive home, it dawned on me that I might have unintentionally given off the wrong impression. Here's how my thoughts went:
"I'm over 50 years old and live with my mom."
"I don't have a 'real' job - at least, not in the traditional sense."
"I can't wait to get back home (to Pennsylvania) and leave this place."
It's not that I'm ashamed of these facts; they simply aren't the most appealing aspects of myself. And while our conversation was engaging and enjoyable, I couldn't shake the feeling that my circumstances may have overshadowed any other potential connections.
As someone who values authenticity, I know that honesty is crucial in relationships - be it romantic or platonic. But sometimes, there's a fine line between being honest and oversharing. In this instance, I wonder if I inadvertently steered the conversation towards my caregiving role and life circumstances, thus creating an impression that wasn't entirely accurate.
In retrospect, I realize that I should have focused more on our shared interests, like our love for Cane Corsos and Florida's beautiful beaches. Instead, I allowed my current reality to take center stage, potentially scaring off any romantic prospects before they even had a chance to develop.
So, what can we learn from this missed opportunity? For one, it's essential to strike a balance between being open and honest with others while still presenting the best version of ourselves. A thing I know, but hadn't really thought of our lunch as a date, until was basically on my way home after our date.
And for those of us that find ourselves in unconventional or challenging circumstances, like caregiving, it's crucial to remember that our lives are multifaceted - and so are our interests.
In the end, I hope this experience serves as a reminder to be more mindful of how we present ourselves to others and to seek out meaningful connections that bring joy to both parties involved. After all, life is too short for missed opportunities - especially in a state like Florida where the sun always shines.
This may all be a manifestation on my mind. My brain does these mental gymnastics sometimes and it's usually unwarranted. So maybe my post mortem assessment is entirely off. We'll see where it goes from here.

How many times do you have to click "see less often" on E l 0 n X messages before you actually see less E l 0 n X messages?
Once, 10 times, 100 times or none of the above?

I had dinner with a family elder last week.
He reminded me that my daughter will not carry our family name, nor will my grandson.
It was a subtle comment, but speaks volumes about some conversations/thoughts that may be going on.
My immediate thought was that he was so far wrong on both assertions bc my daughter is not yet married (and she's got no pressure from me or her partner to get married). But I didn't tell him that.
I responded, maybe you're correct, but does it matter these days?!
Their are many males in our family to carry on the name if that is his concern.
They sell gene kits at the pharmacy to tests for these sorts of things now?!
We now have protocols like #Nostr that can be used to track family trees (unalterably) if and when internal family documents artifacts were ever lost.
And if we wanted to rely on government records, don't we all have government ID's now?! Thinking SSN. Why is the name important to him?!
Some additional context;
My niece started her first week at a university this week. She doesn't have to find a job her first year. As a side project and source of income, she's been commissioned by members of the family to combine the broader family documents, family tree artifacts and other projects into one larger, organized and catalogued repository.
Great project for a teenager, driving some lower time preference type questions. Both good and bad.
All that to ask myself "do I care?!"
None of his responses to that question compelled me either way on the matter.
Good morning and happy Friday #Nostr Fam

🙏🏽 I've bookmarked this note so that I can list the meds tomorrow, time permitting.
As for Mom's diet, it's this;
Breakfast = 1.5 hard boiled eggs. A sprinkle of black pepper, tumeric, a pinch of kimchi, no salt. A half of a banana and a decaf coffee small, black, no sugar, no cream.
Lunch = fruit smoothie. I rotate different colored fruits every 2-3 days.
Dinner =
A crock pot.
bone broth.
fresh vegetables. different veggies seasonally, locally sourced, and a can of different types of fiat beans.
Seasoning (no salt).
Protein changes every 3rd day which is how long my crockpot lasts. I rotate between, white meat, read meat, bone meat, muscle meat, organ meat (usually beef liver), or fish every 3 days when the pot empties. Protein is always grass fed, free range or wild fish.
So every week the two of us go through 3 pots of (I call it fuel) food.
The only difference between Mom's diet and mine is that I eat more, I add salt to my servings, my coffee is not decaf and I eat all of my food for the day between 2-6pm depending on my schedule for that day.
Exceptions are when my family comes over and cook. Which is usually a Saturday or Sunday type of event.

I don't know how I would measure the impact sunlight has on her health. I for the most part (probably selfishly) encourage it bc I (moi) feel better when I'm getting sunlight. So hoping it has the same effect on her. Possibly me projecting 👀🤣😂😅.
I'm glad you found this note encouraging and I wish a better health for you and the Mrs.
I have solid reasons for being of the opinion that obesity and diet is the root cause of a large majority of our health problems.
It can take months and years to repair the damage our diet inflicts upon us, but of I am of mind that a lot of the damage can be repaired over time. The younger we are the easier it is for our bodies to repair the damage.

Five months ago my mom suffered a series of strokes that resulted in paralysis on her right side, wheelchair bound and non-verbal.
This is in addition to being previously diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression and she was also about 60lbs overweight.
To address all these pre-existing conditions she was actively prescribed 23 prescriptions.
Today, my mom is:
She is still non-verbal, but I can understand exactly what she wants to communicate to me when she has something to say.
She is still weak on her right side, but she can walk around the house without aid. Dress herself in the mornings...mostly. She does need some help putting on her shoes, panties and bra. But if hell broke loose and we had to boogie in a hurry, she'd be able to make it to the car by herself while I packed up for a mad max like departure/adventure. :-) Albeit without a bra, panties and barefoot. But that's OK.
She is now only 15lbs overweight and still dropping.
Her cholesterol levels continue to improve.
Her BP is within normal levels.
Her A1C (diabetes measurement) has improved BIGLY and continues to do so every month.
She is now on only 3 prescriptions. My sisters and I might be adding one more to this in September so possibly 4 prescriptions starting next month, down from 23.
How did we do it?
Diet: My mom now only eats what I eat (and I don't eat fiat food).
I stopped administering all the prescriptions they (her doctors) had her taking prior to the stroke except for the ones they were administering to her in the hospital for the 2 weeks that she was in ER and ICU for the strokes.
For physical therapy she: opens the mail in the mornings, not using her mouth (yes, disgusting) but using both right and left hands. She has to walk when in the house..I used to carry her from room to room bc it was faster, but she is retired and I don't have a boss, so what's the rush?! Even if it takes 10 minutes to get from bedroom to the living room. We also slow dance for 5 minutes every evening after dinner. Last night we danced to some ray charles. And lastly but MOST important, my sister(s) call her every night before bed and asks her about her day.
For her depression, we give her "stuff" that needs to get done throughout the day that she can do while seated at the couch. I.e. fold and sort laundry, open and sort the mail, I take her (and the dogstr) with me everywhere I go. Make sure she goes outside and gets some sun every day (not hard to get where we are presently).
All that to say, considering we were making final arrangements back in March and now we are where we are with her progress, I'm a pretty grateful dude.
Fix the food and you fix two things:
1-America's obesity epidemic
2-America's out of control rising health care cost problem?
Disclaimers:
Not health, medical, financial or any other advice for anyone.
I just wanted to brag somewhere about how well my mom is doing and what is working for her with this community.
I've come to depend on many of you over the last year +, for some grown-up conversations with rational, like minded folks from all walks of life.
I know, it's a long one. So thanks for reading to the end.💜 🫂 ✌️
