browsing Farcaster makes me feel like I am having technology overload. I don’t know what mini apps are. I don’t know how to use social media on Base. Aaaand yeah. It’s fine though! Seems like good ideas. I’ll just wait and see.

oh sorry, just did a fact check on the person’s comment that I quoted, and there are some inaccuracies. corrected version below: “When The Jungle dropped in 1906, it exposed the filthy reality of industrial meatpacking — and people were horrified. But instead of going vegetarian, most folks demanded cleaner meat, and the government responded with safety laws. Sounds good, right? But those laws ended up making it really hard for small farmers to sell their own meat — especially across state lines. Over time, the system started favoring big meat corporations, not local producers. Now, more people are waking up to this. The food freedom movement is growing — advocating for local meat, small farms, and more choice. 🐓🌱 Regulations meant to protect us? Some still do. But others? They mostly protect the big guys. Time to rethink the system.” (chatgpt fact check)

… whatever way people have of reducing the suffering of animals is good. (Especially the larger, social animals). It could be opting out completely and being vegetarian/vegan, or drastically reducing or eliminating red meat, or only getting meat from smaller, local farms… or like mentioned in this comment thread, hunting your own meat.

“Interesting history moment: When The Jungle was published, consumers abandoned commercial meat en masse out of righteous disgust. They didn’t become vegetarians, though; they turned to their local farmers, who they trusted and knew were raising and killing animals more humanely. In response to this, big meat got the government to pass a bunch of laws making it impossible to sell farm-slaughtered meat. It’s still extremely difficult to this day. We have regulatory capture to thank for the way things are. I’m glad to see things are changing thanks to the growing food freedom movement and distrust in government.” (@reltbracco on Nostr) I think large scale slaughterhouses and the huge ass farms that supply them are horrific, cruel, unhealthy for the workers and the people eating the food. And obviously for the cows and pigs who in better circumstances are social enough to be pets.

yes being yourself is important. I was just reading this quote in a zen book, “when you are you, zen is zen.” It was part of a section about how meditating to clear your mind is important (rather than trying to seek something outside of yourself).

Yay for making ETH simpler like BTC. I think the similar word that is used in math and science is ‘elegant’? As in, an elegant proof or theorem.

good explanations … I think using Reddit also warmed me way up to pseudonyms… actually, I’ve used pseudonyms earlier than that … for blogging and personal IG… but now more so. It *is* kinda related to privacy and freedom.

lol yeah! That *was* confusing for me when I went to find it in the app store. I was like, did they do this on purpose? Is it supposed to be a challenge to figure out? lol

I’m wondering why this post starts and ends with jokey comments about making money. I like the middle part. That is what I was thinking about this morning. Since I’ve also been learning about deso through using it. Each one is very different.

so … any material thing within “space-time” will ‘pass’, as in, change into something else (some other material form?) But … space-time itself is not really ‘in motion’? Well I’ve been reading about the zen buddhism concept of a time-being and trying to think of a connection here 😓

(3/3) Connecting these two works, the ‘hope’ in the song refers to how at the end of the story, even though Nao’s personal story has resolved for Ruth, she still doesn’t know what has happened with her, since Nao lived in Japan, during the year 2011, when the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami happened, which then also led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. So the book ends with Ruth writing a letter back to Nao. Earlier, she and her husband had realized that somehow, by believing in Nao and what she wrote ‘to them’ in her diary, they were actually causing the diary to continue to a conclusion, rather than ending abruptly. And their belief in Nao, somehow resonated back towards themselves. So even though Ruth has no way of knowing if Nao had died along with so many others in the tsunami, she wrote her a letter, hoping that her belief in her still carries meaning.
