Darth would you rather run into a tax collector or a shitcoiner in the woods?
reply
hahaha good question. I think a shitcoiner. Is easier to convince him to use bitcoin. A tax collector is just a "orders follower" so is useless to try to convince him to use bitcoin.

Never underestimate the universe's ability to surprise you with even more idiocy.

I have the strangest relationship with food. I have no trouble not eating, for days even, but if I do eat I don’t want to stop until I’m 100% full.
reply
The same here. Also, here in my country, there's a tradition that wives only eat food either with their husbands or after them. So, wives force husbands to eat, no matter you're hungry or not. 😂
In summer, I only eat once a day and I've been practising this for more than 10 years now. My health has no impact whatsoever. It seems that by eating less frequently but by drinking more frequently, I feel healthier and energetic. It's also a truth that in the past 10 or may be 20 years (actually, I don't remember) I've not fallen ill or been diagnosed for anything serious.
If there's some mild issue, I know a bit about Ayurveda and Yoga, and I always get back to normal again within sometime.

do you make it a point to chew you food very well?
reply
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 5 May
No
reply
I've noticed a marked change in my life, as someone who used to very consciously chew the hell out of my food, that I've gained wait, and started eating a lot more, since I stopped chewing my food very well. And it wasn't until reading your post that I realized that this is what is going on. All my friends knew I was the slowest eater, and would generally be the last to finish any meal. I haven't thought about it in a while. My recommendation is that you make it a point to chew the hell out of your food. Don't let yourself swallow unless you've made every bite of food into a liquid. Update me in two weeks. (I'm going to start doing the same!)
reply
one of the interesting theories I had read is that humans used to just need to breath, drinking and eating was started for pleasure, but as time went by, now eating 3 times a day, because the body adapted to that way.

Shilling my weekly hiking post. This week we head to Alexander Falls in the middle of winter. Yes, another frozen waterfall, check it out.
Today is also race day. I will be running my 5th marathon today; it is one that I'm least confident and most nervous about, because I'm out of shape and did not train enough for it. At this point, I'm just aiming to finish the run without injuring myself. Wish me luck.

Next week we celebrate the end of the third year of Bitcoin Brunch in Miami with #156.

Monday after tomorrow we have the Broward County Bitcoin meetup, and finally my friend's open mic where several venders will be accepting bitcoin!

I practice tai chi predominantly the Yang style and I teach a class on Sunday mornings. I’ve been learning since I was 20 - I’m now 45 but I have only recently begun to use online platforms to promote myself.
The internet has really opened up the chance to find high quality tai chi from around the world and see what other practitioners are doing. As it’s such a vast art there can be a lot of different approaches and different skills that result.
If you’re a practitioner feel free to comment and let me know what you practice and who your influences are . Thanks. 🙏
reply
I really enjoyed the tai chi classes that I took in undergrad. I've fallen out of practice, but it did permanently change my body mechanics, so in a sense I'm also constantly practicing.
reply
💯 yep I know what you mean, once you get the basics down it can become a daily practice even just in the way we stand, walk, sit etc.

I have long been curious to try a Tai Chi practice.

Pancho Villa and his Crew
reply
I'm not an expert on Pancho's history, but I know he's a very controversial figure. Some people see him as a hero, while others view him as a villain. Maybe it depends on which side people are on. If I'm not mistaken, he was the only one who attempted to invade the United States of America, right?
reply
Correct. General Pershing, of WW I game got his reputation during that conflict. Pancho is a hero from the Mexican side. In my opinion the American story is likely propaganda.

Respect

It is often quoted that you should give respect to people or just “respect others”. However, the correct term is consideration and not respect, as respect has to be earned over time.
The origin of the word respect comes from the ancient Latin word “respectus”, which is the combination of the prefix “re” meaning “back” or to “redo”, and the Latin word “specere” meaning “to look at”.
This means that over time you “look back at” the actions of someone and make a judgement, and if their actions are just, you can give your respect to them.
When you meet someone for the first time, you give them consideration whether or not to give your respect, making you “considerate”.
Once your judgement has been reached, and you find the person to have good qualities, you may then give your respect in a feeling of admiration, or in honour of their achievement.
Respect must be earned over time, and not just given away.
reply
What about giving respect to your parents and elders in your family. Do they also be taken into consideration or should they earn respect before actually getting it.
I'm mostly agree with today's Wordplay or word knowledge except for the thought that I just mentioned. Kindly enlighten further if I've missed on something.

respect without consideration?
it's not respect. respect is to look back at previous actions and act accordingly
reply
Ahhh, okay!!
I get it now. Sorry arguing for nothing. This is clearly mentioned in your definition. If parents want respect they should so earn it by taking care of their kids in the best possible way they can.
reply
Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.

I really appreciate this breakdown - the amount of times I have been told that I should "respect" a person and asked why? I am happy to be kind and show them consideration however I will respect them once I feel I want to, and I have taught my kids the same thing. I have to earn their respect, I cannot just expect it.

But I’m Asian. The cultural norm here stipulates that I must treat my elders sincerely, out of respect. N tbh, I expect my students to regard me with deference, out of respect too. Haha

Is this respect that you are giving and receiving or is it a certain type of behaviour that you are expected to abide by?

EXACTLY that I told to a judge once. He said something "you have to respect people in this room" and my answer was: "first they need to EARN my respect... and they didn't do anything about that but the opposite".
It was 1 min of silence in the room.

Totally agree. It is fine that sometimes we change paths during our lifetime. If we think another path is good and maybe better, we should go for it. Circumstances change. What is not good is to not do it and be the rest of your life wondering how would have been and if it would have been better.
