Identifying with the "LGBTQ community" is totally fake and gay. Straighten up and repent. The good news is that God loves people with messed-up attractions. For real! It can be a very holy cross to bear, one that ends up sanctifying you. But don't be proud, identify as your disordered attraction, or choose to commit sexual sins. Follow Christ!

I am not a Bitcoiner, but if I was, I would not worry about its price right now. Rather than cry about it, I would buy more (it's on sale), because it's guaranteed to rise again, and you will make money in the long run, if that's what you're concerned about.

I understand enthusiasm about Bitcoin. But we have to live balanced lives. We have to work and earn money and raise our families. We have to worship God, live our lives honorably, do good and be charitable. We don't want to be one-dimensional nerds. As much as I hate Facebook, it was pretty cool in the beginning before it was all about memes and short reels. Remember in 2009 how every post began with "[Username] is... " and you had to complete the sentence? That was the standard prompt. It made people write something about themselves. It was kind of fun, even if a little silly sometimes. Facebook is evil now. Super evil. Both it and Twitter/X are designed to keep you on their platform through psychological manipulation and depraved content. I have enjoyed MeWe and even Mastodon. In my opinion, the Nostr protocol is the best, most promising tech for social media. I just hate seeing so many people turned off by it because we're a bunch of nerds that can't stop talking about sats and zaps. (No offense to anyone personally. I know I can be a crypto/Linux/privacy nerd too.) Stay humble and be social.

This is a good conversation about Nostr and Faith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNmuMeBq9SY

BTC and XMR are good tools, yes. But don't let that take over your life. It will not make you happy, and you cannot take your secret keys to the grave. Follow Christ -- the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Serious thought for those who love using Nostr (I love it too): We talk about how we own our content, but do we really post much of anything in our daily social media lives that we even care about after a year? Or a week? Even after a few hours? I suppose it depends on the content format. Microblogging is often silly or lacks substance. Lots of memes and wisecracks. An article, on the other hand, or long-form writing, is something you might want to hang onto for a long time. Vlogs or podcasts or video podcasts -- we might want to hang onto these, too. I miss the old days when we used internet forums with conversation threads. I used to frequently go back and review past conversations. But with today's microblogging, our "tweets" and posts and such, if I don't see something right away on my feed, I often don't go back searching for someone's past posts, or at least not that far back. What has changed? Is it me or are we all posting less interesting things? Our content is more shallow, perhaps? I don't know, but this I do know: Facebook is the devil. Nostr is a godsend.

To me, in Michael Jackson's "Black or White" song, it sounds like the rapper in the interlude says, "Where you butt comes from is where your face is." But surely that's not what he says.

I just found out about nosmero.com, a Nostr client that zaps Monero. Sweet. Anyone else use it?

I wish I knew who leaves gooey pee stains and pubic hairs on our toilet seat at work. 🚽 Kinda gross.
