i just had a really wonderful day and i'm realizing farcaster is never going to be the thing that enables more of those to happen for me

no kings. only working on impossible things.

idk, ive won almost 2y of solid, reliable, high paying work across 2 gigs i found on here, ill probably try to use FC for future work prospects as well because builders build here and it's a good place to be building

for the record: farcaster has brought a lot of value to my life. i won't pretend otherwise. 

but my life has changed and the returns are diminishing. 

to start: i don't work in tech anymore. i'm eschewing social media in favor of phone calls and meet ups. i'm no longer interested in the news or the memes. i live in a smaller city. crypto itself hasn't delivered on any of the promise i saw four years ago, and the gambling, circlejerking, and ragebaiting are not worth my peace. 

i have a small garden and a dog. i'm starting a business. i want to be a better uncle and friend and roommate. 

and while this place is dense with wisdom and information... 

...it's ultimately a distraction. 

i won't find deeply edifying connection here, only a simulation of it. it's candy, when i'm being called to cook. 

and today was a feast.

sorry in what way do you mean then?

i read OP as "nothing here is going to make my life better" and i thought maybe an inspirational testimonial would help, but i guess maybe you were talking more about the culture? or?

and i love that for you, that's great.

i don't mean to imply FC isn't valuable. just that it probably isn't right for my life.
