To date, the first thing is to not ‘act’ and just be who you are.
The initial stages are just fun. Enjoy it. If you think it might be good to be serious that's when you have to be careful.
First, do you like her mother? She will become her mother as she gets older. What is her history? Don't get serious if she's ever been a skit or had issues with the law.
Don't get serious if they have kids. It causes many problems when you have to raise kids with someone else rules.
Use common sense. Don't do anything you feel uncomfortable with. Remember you are the man and she is the woman, not the other way around.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. The contribution of art and beauty is significant to society. It's one of the things we've lost with the modernist movement.
In the past, it was understood to be important that those with means became patrons of artists so they had the opportunity to improve society.

You Wonder Why it's Hard to Make Ends Meet with a Very Good Salry?
🔗 https://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation/
Ah, the age-old tale of wage stagnation, a saga so gripping it could make even the most mundane economist's heart race, if they had one. Here's the lowdown on the Economic Policy Institute's (EPI) report on "Charting Wage Stagnation":
- The Plot Thickens: Despite productivity soaring like a rocket since 1979, the wages for the average Joe (and Jane) have been crawling like a snail with a heavy shell. We're talking about a 64% productivity rise, but wages? Barely a blip on the radar.
- The Great Divide: The report points out that if inequality hadn't grown, middle-class households would be basking in an additional $17,867 in income by 2007. But alas, the rich got richer, and the middle class got... well, charts.
- The Culprits: Policy decisions that have the bargaining power of workers on life support. Imagine a world where workers' voices are drowned out by the hum of corporate profit machines.
- The Gender Pay Gap: Women in the energy sector? Paid less for the same job. It's like watching a historical drama where equality is always the next episode, but the season never ends.
- The Monopsony Mystery: Companies holding too much power in local job markets, leading to a situation where they can dictate wages like they're choosing toppings on a pizza, except the only topping is "less money."
- The Wage Stagnation Twist: It's not just about not keeping up with inflation; it's about policies and corporate strategies designed to keep wages low. Think of it as a conspiracy, but instead of aliens, it's just really boring economic decisions.
So, in summary, wage stagnation isn't just an economic issue; it's a narrative of policy failures, corporate power plays, and a dash of societal indifference, all wrapped up in charts that could make you question the very fabric of economic fairness. If this were a movie, it'd be a drama with a twist of dark comedy, where the hero (the worker) is still waiting for their close-up.

Gospel
Luke 6:39-42
Can a blind person guide a blind person?
Jesus told his disciples a parable: “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.”

We Are All Liberal Protestants
"Many of us Catholics in the United States are actually liberal Protestants with rosary beads. To form our moral lives as Catholics is a constant battle to overcome the liberal Protestantism that we consumed with our mother’s milk and which permeates the very moral, social and political air that we breathe. Indeed, the moral and political philosophy of American liberalism is so pervasive that we have largely forgotten a distinctly Catholic vocabulary and grammar or — far worse — have collapsed our Catholic faith into our partisan political commitments.

🔗 https://moodycatholic.com/10-fundamental-beliefs-in-the-catholic-religion/
#Catholic #CatholicNostr
Here's a summary of the core beliefs of the Catholic faith:
1. The Holy Trinity: Catholics believe in one God in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, representing unity in diversity within the divine nature.
2. The Incarnation: Jesus Christ is God incarnate, meaning He is fully God and fully man, born to redeem humanity through His life, death, and resurrection.
3. Church Authority: The Catholic Church is seen as having divine authority passed down from Jesus to the Apostles, with the Pope as the successor of Saint Peter, leading the Church.
4. The Sacraments: There are seven sacraments that are considered channels of God's grace, essential for spiritual growth and salvation.
5. The Eucharist: During Mass, Catholics believe the bread and wine transform into the actual body and blood of Christ, a doctrine known as transubstantiation.
6. Veneration of Mary and the Saints: Mary is revered as the Mother of God, and saints are honored as examples of faith and for their intercessory power.
7. Afterlife: Belief in heaven, hell, and purgatory. Heaven for those in grace, hell for those in mortal sin at death, and purgatory as a place of purification for souls destined for heaven.
8. Good Works: While salvation comes from God's grace, good works are vital as they are the fruit of faith and part of living out one's Christian calling.
9. Social Justice: There's a strong emphasis on caring for the poor, promoting human dignity, and engaging in social issues to reflect God's love and justice.
10. The Second Coming: Catholics await the return of Christ, who will judge all people, leading to the fulfillment of God's kingdom.
These tenets encapsulate the spiritual, doctrinal, and moral framework of Catholicism, guiding the lives of its followers in their relationship with God and their community.

Because for 2,000 years Christian referred to themselves as being part of the 'universal church'. Catholic means universal, as apart from the breakaway sects. There were a few here and there until Luther.
We still know we are part of the Universal Church and not part of a break away sect from the 2,000 year constant communion of Christians with the direct approval, touch and communion with the Apostles and those they charged with continuing the faith.
The generic term was a novel thing chosen by the break away protestant sect in order to separate themselves from the Universal Church.

Robert service, 1917
(after returning from WWI)
The March of the Dead
The cruel war was over — oh, the triumph was so sweet!
We watched the troops returning, through our tears;
There was triumph, triumph, triumph down the scarlet glittering street,
And you scarce could hear the music for the cheers.
And you scarce could see the house-tops for the flags that flew between;
The bells were pealing madly to the sky;
And everyone was shouting for the Soldiers of the Queen,
And the glory of an age was passing by.
And then there came a shadow, swift and sudden, dark and drear;
The bells were silent, not an echo stirred.
The flags were drooping sullenly, the men forgot to cheer;
We waited, and we never spoke a word.
The sky grew darker, darker, till from out the gloomy rack
There came a voice that checked the heart with dread:
"Tear down, tear down your bunting now, and hang up sable black;
They are coming — it's the Army of the Dead."
They were coming, they were coming, gaunt and ghastly, sad and slow;
They were coming, all the crimson wrecks of pride;
With faces seared, and cheeks red smeared, and haunting eyes of woe,
And clotted holes the khaki couldn't hide.
Oh, the clammy brow of anguish! the livid, foam-flecked lips!
The reeling ranks of ruin swept along!
The limb that trailed, the hand that failed, the bloody finger tips!
And oh, the dreary rhythm of their song!
"They left us on the veldt-side, but we felt we couldn't stop
On this, our England's crowning festal day;
We're the men of Magersfontein, we're the men of Spion Kop,
Colenso — we're the men who had to pay.
We're the men who paid the blood-price. Shall the grave be all our gain?
You owe us. Long and heavy is the score.
Then cheer us for our glory now, and cheer us for our pain,
And cheer us as ye never cheered before."
The folks were white and stricken,
and each tongue seemed weighted with lead;
Each heart was clutched in hollow hand of ice;
And every eye was staring at the horror of the dead,
The pity of the men who paid the price.
They were come, were come to mock us, in the first flush of our peace;
Through writhing lips their teeth were all agleam;
They were coming in their thousands — oh, would they never cease!
I closed my eyes, and then — it was a dream.
There was triumph, triumph, triumph down the scarlet gleaming street;
The town was mad; a man was like a boy.
A thousand flags were flaming where the sky and city meet;
A thousand bells were thundering the joy.
There was music, mirth and sunshine; but some eyes shone with regret;
And while we stun with cheers our homing braves,
O God, in Thy great mercy, let us nevermore forget
The graves they left behind, the bitter graves.

Here's something I posted on LinkedIn that is such a common point of discussion when I meet with colleagues I ‘grew’ up with in my profession that I feel someone needs to say it. It's not meant to be a complaint but a gentle reminder.
=====
Having observed a significant decline in respect and civility in the workplace, I offer these observations for younger employees (42 and younger especially)
* Always aim to respond to emails within a reasonable timeframe. If you can't address the issue immediately, a quick acknowledgment that you've received the email and will respond in detail later shows respect for the sender's time and effort.
* Actively seek out and consider the viewpoints of more experienced colleagues. Their insights can provide depth and context that might not be immediately apparent. Even if you don't agree, understanding their perspective can enrich your own.
* Basic politeness is crucial. This includes simple manners like saying "please" and "thank you," holding doors open, or offering help when someone is struggling with a task. These small acts of kindness can significantly impact workplace culture.
* When someone is speaking, especially someone senior, give them your full attention. Avoid checking your phone or looking disinterested. This shows respect for their time and expertise. Ignoring people or not giving them your attention when they're speaking is a form of disrespect.
* If you disagree with an idea or decision, express it respectfully. Frame your disagreement as a quest for understanding or improvement rather than a challenge to authority.
* Always give credit where credit is due, especially to those who might not be in the limelight. This includes acknowledging the groundwork laid by others in projects or the company's history.
* Regularly ask for feedback from your peers and superiors. This shows you value their opinion and are committed to improvement.
* While many modern workplaces are flattening hierarchies, understanding and respecting the chain of command can prevent misunderstandings and show professionalism.
* Be aware of cultural differences between generations in what is considered respectful or polite. This sensitivity helps in avoiding unintentional disrespect.
* Respect others' time by being punctual for meetings, sticking to agreed deadlines, and being concise in communications.
* Show appreciation for opportunities, guidance, and support. This could be through verbal thanks, written notes, or even small gestures like bringing in treats for the team.
* Demonstrate a commitment to learning not just from books or courses but from the people around you. This shows respect for the collective knowledge within the organization.
By adopting these behaviors, younger employees can foster a more respectful, collaborative, and productive workplace environment. It's about building relationships based on mutual respect, which in turn can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career path.
A final note: if you consistently show disrespect, do not be surprised or offended when you encounter similar behavior in return.

Acho que a maioria das pessoas espera isso. Para que o nostr se torne muito popular, acho que precisaremos de alguma integração de AI.

I'm just trying to think of how to make nostr more robust. For example each client while being used might act as a relay.
