Everyone sees corona as a disaster, it's an opportunity. To retreat, be quiet, focus, listen to the calm buzz of nature, work in a calm manner, and connect with your family and friends

New year cleanup time. I like wordplay so here's one of my favorites: 'concentrate.'
What does it mean?
"to remove diluting elements"
I think it's the way of nature. Look at your body. There's no excess space left between your bone, tendons, muscle, fat, and skin. It's perfectly lean.

Hello! A Brazilian has just joined Peep. I like to draw animals 😁

Is there a particular reason you're trying to start an exchange in Brazil?
Many... Primary 3 are massive market size (200million), existing demand for crypto, and the sheer excitement/anticipation of the prospect
Happy new decade from Wellington, New Zealand. If you're looking for a good new years goal, ask: what would excite me?

Cool about the plant based diet and no booze. Interested to hear how it affects you. Are you making an effort to have certainly proportions of macronutrients or is plant-based your main criterion?
It's difficult but mostly I'm eating a lot of rice, veggies, potatoes, and olive oil. Don't feel too bad health-wise, but definitely annoyed I can't eat meat
Just updated my now.txt https://jamesscaur.keybase.pub/now.txt
I replace it every 2 weeks (or in this case, 2 months, ha). Inspired by @sivers.

How're the adventures going? I saw you're in Rio?
Back in New Zealand now... Rio was great, as was the rest of Brazil I got to see... by the way, sorry I haven't been posting on Peepeth much, I've noticed myself losing my interest in dapps... social media in general actually

Very interesting!!
I learn something new about Bitcoin every day. Apparently you can submit transactions to the mempool with expected outputs from unconfirmed transactions.
It'll take longer than if you already had the money, but it still works!

One of the funny things you never realise about countries before you go there: they speak their native language all the time.
Including for emergency notices. Road signs. The instructions on a fire extinguisher. And their online scammers, too.
A mystery I have still never figured out: when in Denmark (2016), I got a new SIM card. Within 2 days I began getting sent text offers from a weed dealer. I never knew the number nor how he got mine. I'm almost 99% certain that the telephone operator didn't sell their customer info.
So... how?

Looking at that list it looked like they were running out of codes. Then I looked a little further, and they are all over the place. Looks like there is very little logical standardization. Christmas Island's code is +6189164.
God, who... What... Why? Makes no sense

Such a profound quote. But also, if one is to step on the world stage, it's always with a mask.
Yep
Professional identity is super important, if you don't choose yours you'll get one handed on a plate

#lkie I recently started writing "why" next to each to-do item and including an expected value. It seems to help me prioritize more effectively.
Awesome

Really The Work is awesome if you've ever had a massive loss of any kind, are pissed off at someone who doesn't apologise, or are stuck in any kind of cyclical relationship issue. it really brings home the wisdom of "you can't change others but you can change yourself"

and it's wild too, about "what you resist persists"... I was so intent on escaping powerlessness that I became domineering, so intent on not being poor that I worked incredibly long hours and massively undercharged to try build an impeccable reputation (bad strategy for money 😉), so intent on not being unhealthy that I'd run for hours and hit myself to get strong, then binge eat to resolve the exhaustion. meanwhile-
as soon as I accepted I was depressed I started finding ways to get happy and alive again.
as soon as I accepted I was unhealthy (but not morbidly obese), I began slower, more sustainable health practises.
as soon as I accepted that people didn't like me, I started taking an objective look at how my actions affected others, & I became very grateful for those that tolerated me- gradually learning their social skills

By taking responsibility for where I was at I was able to improve my health, stop drinking so compulsively and desperately trying to impress people, and relax that I didn't have to know everything. It took me 2 years more in order to heal my relationship with my parents (via a terrifying DMT experience), but still - a lot of the groundwork was laid with https://TheWork.com/ It got me to at least QUESTION my negative judgements...

Additionally the question of what addictions/habits appear when you believe a certain thought. For me the core thought was that "I'm a victim of my life situation" (which I defined as being poor/fat/unlikeable/unintelligent - with abusive parents), and I used alcohol, porn, sugar, and compulsive reading/gaming to distract me from that "truth". Had I had better access, almost certainly more drugs.

"Who would you be without the thought?" is a great rule to apply to any belief, no matter how "true" it is

Note to self, truth isn't emotional, if you're emotionally attached to a particular "truth" it's probably not truth

Just got a bunch of #FutureMe letters with photos of some writing I did with the (poorly named) practise "The Work". Nice to look back and realise that what seemed like radical and painful concepts at the time are now just self-evident truths. E.g. I used to blame my parents for the problems I experienced in my childhood/teen years, & also exaggerated them. Acknowledging my own responsibility was tough but worth it.

Message from my past self reading my 2014-2018 journals.
I think I've learned this lesson OK... over the past year. To not get distracted with preparing for inconsequential bullshit. To keep my focus down to as few things as possible. And constantly ask "Why am I doing this?"
Love this. #ShareTheFailure

I get uncomfortable just reading about it. What a bizarre situation to be put into.
yeah mate, should have added a trigger warning sorry
bizzare for sure, but life's a bit bizzare...

yeah, also after talking to a few (mostly female) friends who had similar experiences, it's unfortunately common... especially in situations like, a girl goes on a date with a dude, comes to his place, and he'll pressure her to stay, intimidate, subtly block the doors while playing "passionate"... sex doesn't really become an option at that point, but an obligation
which is of course the most unsexy situation possible, and the results suck too

James- I’m so sorry you went through that. Thanks for sharing your story. It’s important for others to understand that sexual assault can unfold through social coercion rather than violence, and to get a sense of perpetrators’ manipulative tactics. I’m glad you’re taking a resourceful outlook on it.

Another wild story from my hometown: "body of a student at UC found up to two months after he died." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49823183
Replying to @satsearcher (0x6348dbea8987c27f8462755e493f64d99c28dd05)
- At that point my shock/humiliation/fear turned to anger, I got more forceful telling him he needed to unlock the door - He went and got the keys but still wouldn't unlock - I had to emotionally counsel him saying it's alright, it's just a miscommunication, I wouldn't report him - Even had to hug him before he would open the door - Spent the next ~24hrs drinking & smoking (which I hardly EVER do) #nsfw
So. My Stoic mindset dictates: how can I use this to become better?
My answer: I know what sex assault feels like. Which means:
- I can better support my friends if/when they get sexually assaulted
- There's no chance I'll ever do it to someone else
Also, I know the consequences of pushing my limits arbitrarily. There is such a thing as unnecessary discomfort. My mantra of 'getting uncomfortable' has caveats. #nsfw
