It appears you are trying to lead the revolt and bring your favorite people to Bluesky leaving the rest on Nostr. Only the faithful will follow. The social media averse, such as myself, will not easily be convinced to make a new social media account. I'm the last person I ever thought would have a new social media after leaving Facebook. Definitely never saw myself using cryptocurrency in any way.

Interesting. I just learned that the Old Testament is based on Hebrew and Aramaic, while the New Testament is translated from Greek. I must have known that but just forgotten.
I'm still going to the Lutheran Church. Discovering all this now is so interesting. Introducing Bible to our homeschool program was definitely different, but my almost 9 year old is an age where he really needs it. I didn't even realize how secular I had become until I started talking to you more about this. My spouse's family is split not down the middle, but instead only two out of 10 siblings still profess faith in Christ. None of that should ever have mattered to me. I shouldn't have allowed myself to be so influenced.

I told this exact thing to our father, in different words, the other day. I bought a Bible in the newer translation, first time I ever bought a Bible. My Bible had been a King James that I acquired from my parents circa 2004. About the Modern English Version. My spouse has a New American Standard Bible, but I needed one of my own. I had some questions about the veracity of the different translations that our father was able to answer.

If you don't need therapy then, don't pay for it. I have gotten a lot of good out of certain books specifically ones talking about cognitive behavioral therapy. I'm not going to knock those authors transformed and greatly improved my life. You remind me of the metal heads, Jake. They tend to be very anti "getting help". They think it's a sign of weakness if someone admits they have a problem and or gets any sort of professional help for mental illness. Thinking too far that direction is toxic, just like thinking too far any direction is toxic. Extremism in all its forms is the epitome of evil.

2023-07-27 13:39:32 UTC

My thoughts on the Fountain app: would be a great way to earn sats if you listen to a lot of podcasts. Unfortunately it didn't work for me because I didn't want to be so tied down to listening to podcasts. I shared a few constructive criticisms, it took the makers two to three months to get back to me if I remember right. If you want to earn sats and listen to a lot of podcasts, Fountain might be right for you.

Nostriches, please weigh in. Maybe someone who works on this site could improve it, there are a lot of complaints I have about this platform. Call me old, but I find it difficult to navigate, and impossible to chat with people. No shade, just understand I struggle with a lot of internet and social media things, it could be me.

#Mental Health
A few thoughts about suicide from someone who suffers from extreme rapid cycling bipolar 1: what everyone else says about suicide is: things will get better, just hang on, hang in there, don't kill yourself: now you don't know what life will be like later.
To some extent, that is true. I am glad I didn't kill myself in 2017 before my life began to get better. Suicide to me is like the grown up version of a temper tantrum: it's my way out in case life gets unmanageable and intolerable. I have made a commitment with myself to never do it, because my life is not just about me, it's also the ripple effect of what that action would do to others. Suicidal actions are never an option for me.
Anyone who suffers from suicidal thoughts, I urge them to please not act on them. I would not advise the normal medical system approach of checking yourself into a hospital unless that is something you want to do, and you feel would help you. The the mental health system is not what made me overcome my suicidal urges. The mental health system is a little more than a way for big pharma to pump suicidal people full of drugs that will make them forget everything. I'm more concerned about is changing suicidal actions from the inside out without the use of drugs. No shade against those who rely on psychiatric meds, but my specialty is changing the brain structure and building a happier brain from the ground up.
To anyone who is seriously contemplating suicide it is true that someone somewhere has been touched by your life. Even if all your relationships are toxic, even if you don't have children, removing yourself prematurely from the equation will upset the natural order of the world. There are people who would be completely heartbroken if you kill yourself.
The way we think changes the physical structure of our brain. My depression has largely been overcome by simply changing the way I think. Which in turn leads to fewer despairing and suicidal thoughts. I recommend everyone looking to cognitive behavioral therapy. A lot of information is free with a quick Google search or YouTube search.
For those bipolar warrior struggling, I see you. We all see the bipolar illness differently, I see it as a challenge to overcome and not an impossible hardship. Much love and peace ✌️
