Last Notes npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker I've got mixed feelings about this. Parents play a big role in their kid's life, it's part of the job. My teenage daughter still has tight controls on all her devices. She finds ways around it, we all have a laugh and talk about what she's been up to. There was a period, though, where she struggled with a toxic group of friends on Discord who were dealing with untreated mental illnesses. My daughter was drowning while trying to help them. They were relentless in hounding her to available 24/7 even after my daughter explained she had restrictions and the internet went off at 10pm for everyone in our house. It got to a point where we intervened and blocked Discord. She was upset at the time. We had dozens of talks with her. A year later, and after some counseling, she worked through her depression. When she came out of it, she thanked us profusely for helping her get her life back and giving her space to find herself and better friends. Parents need better tools. While I don't support an outright ban, we must recognize social media can have a profoundly impact on teens. Adults struggle to grasp the algorithms' corrosive effects, let alone teenagers. There are countless ways for parents to abuse their kids. I just don't think parents keeping an eye on their kids is the main concern. In my experience, it's the parents who look the other way that struggle more. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker For some reason, I thought this was from 2016, the last time I paid attention to either of them. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Bitcoin needs more regular people endorsements. Not celebrities, CEOs, or politicians. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker I only do nostr on web clients: Primal, Nostrudel, & Coracle. All three work well for me in different ways. Primal's been really reliable. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker That's a beautiful spot. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Totally agree. It's nice to have conversations that outside the echo chamber. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Yes! This is a wonderful example. Thank you for sharing. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Q: Can politics ever be an expression of love? A: No. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Nature creates abundance, not order. Learning to accept and appreciate the chaos. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker https://image.nostr.build/a2537873714bf058eaba40f1bf6a80d7ae21ffecc2e1b021eab935b02fe54452.png npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Practical mysticism: when spiritual experiences drive us to engage with the world and work for change. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker I've noticed on Primal that it often doesn't show my reaction when I click on the like button, but the reaction is logged. When I clear all the browser cache and log in again, I can see the reactions. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Super annoying. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Totally with you on this. Too many people wanting to call the end. #nevent1q…4q2x npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker A few is all you need. (It's all I can handle, myself). npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker I love this train of thought. 💯 I'd add two-income households to the list. They take away important time that one spouse could devote to important work in the community. I coordinate Sunday School in my church (and teach most Sundays), but I also have a full time job. Plus I volunteer on a couple other Town committees ... and I have my family. Balancing these responsibilities requires constant vigilance against burnout. This may explain why it seems like most of the volunteers these days are retired folks. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker We need more than knowledge; we need wisdom to use it with foresight and caution. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker I'm drooling. 🤤 npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker Feels like a good guess. There's something annoying but not malicious about RG. Like it's meant to stoke us to take this kind of threat seriously. npub1kwdcaq7e9pluu0f9s7rdlj7sqscf37ty6rv7fl92k4nqcr3ezfts8enny4 TheFreeQuaker That picture sums of half of this country's problems.
