It suites to some to have 2 forms of trading - cash and digital, but there're frontiers that have not yet bloomed.

Bitcoin really shook the bankers, that pretty much all major banks have pushed to create their own currency. The problem that I always see that no one ever mentions is that cryptocurrency has no way to manage credit. Also if the currency is limited and credit that needs to be repayed is larger than all possible currency, it just won't work.

The world still holds on the logic of credit that crashed multiple times. But it's the only system that seems to "work best" for modern solutions.

So instead of massive support of individuals outright, credit is betting that a lot of individuals will be using products/services. As any bet, there's a chance it will go either way. If the business is made for the sake of money, it's unlikely to succeed. If the business is made to fulfil demand, then it's more than likely to prosper. How do you manage that capitalism stretch in crypto thought? 

In crypto, every coin is sort of there, it has it's computer ID and it has it's place. So managing crypto will have to fall outside of it's abilities to transact, some form of money manager has to be in place, and that's the dangerous part. Whoever has the tools to control crypto, will dictate the rules. Knowing how things run and how it influences decisions and economies, it's just about an obligation of evil to seed itself and slowly grow it's influence.

Some towns and groups have successfully made alternatives that tie to it's local town "economies". Which seems to be the only other way that escapes regulations, although I'm certain, the tax collecting divisions of governments will frown upon or make such community trading without declarations and contribution illegal - unless, the infrastructure and living environment is self-sustaining (doesn't require intervention or contribution by government).

Interesting topic to explore. How would you reinvent trading that is more ideal than what we have?

A ton of socks and undergarments is probably a necessity.

Individuals have different tastes and approaches. You will find that guys often do not give a crap about overall looks, as long as they fit in.

Briefly, there was culture of bling, but just in one deckade, it became apparent that a street thug wearing golden coloured chain is not someone to aspire to, his style displays status that he thinks of himself to be worthy of. The behaviour can probably work along peers, but not publically to influence majority.

Maybe we still do it in closed circles. As more people sign up, I will bling up lol

But on the serious note, somehow I don't see longterm point of wearing something unusual except for special events themselves to take pictures, or for practical purposes e.g. going out on the beach in shorts.

So talking about style, I haven't really thought about specific attire or having the latest look. I think our attention shifted from having that cool looking look, to having iPhones or something. Lately with AI images and unnecessary to get out of the house for some even, the need is not there as much.

Though it may turn around to express personality and preferences, rather than having to guess your social nature?

People are most intelligent species on earth, yet can be lost in a basic decision.

Going through life you begin to establish principles and morals. Even as an atheist, if you compare your morals to a religion you will begin to understand that it's not about control, but rather trouble free living and future. 

Different religions are notably focusing on specific long-term goal for all of it's followers.

As you follow a religion, it will nudge with it's basic requirements or outlooks what the collective mood should be in relation to your well being, your neighbours, your culture and overall groupthink.

With the most complex organ in the known universe, we can do various things - have imaginary conversations, imagine images or situations, plan and prepare our next steps. By using our abilities, we're improving them. The same applies to bad practices. If you're taught religiously to have certain outlook on other cultures or groups of people, it will be a hardcoded groupthink.

Modern population without a religion rely on "facts" and "opinions" that make decisions on their part, and easiest to influence to follow the modern living as their culture. Having no expectation leaves the gates open for any solution that comes around. That's often why we end up with the choice between the best of two evils.

Establishing your moral code before you ever come across the cards handed to you will show you the reality - "the truth" that allows to focus on the larger picture rather than argue a pointless choice.

Some religions are built on war, others on peace, or just for everyday living like in small countries or islands. Religions also establish cultures that allow for norms to work with those morals, so that what you do and what you decide is understood by others.

Religions are often not mention nor considered as part of everyday life or influence in major cities, but it's followed by billions of people and influences global ideologies.

One of those annoying things on phone, new contacts are being saved and "synced to phone", but after a day or two the contact magically disappears from contact list and just shows as a number.

I'm yet to crack this one.

While browsing brainrot, I came across this short that pretty much nails self-care that should be a standard:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_L-pjxsd2HU

Our well being depends on how you treat yourself, to be physically capable and mentally alert and aware of yourself and your goals.

Establishing basic self-care is the foundation to being your best self to take on your goals.

It's as if you're 2 people, the worker and the manager in your life. When you work on yourself, you will also realise that it makes you happy to see yourself making effort in good direction.

Although it requires discipline and saying "no" to your bad habits, the payoff is immeasurable when you realise how much you can do without waiting for motivation.

When you're growing up, for some reason we're not taught how to grow up, it's expected either to be responsibility of our parents, and parents expect it to be done by educational facilities. Neither end up making any effort.

At some point, you begin to realise that there's a way to get few things on track, but you will have most of the cogs in your machine missing. You will end up discovering yourself into your 30s and realising how much of everyday life is a scam that doesn't benefit you and you can't expect it to just work in your favour.

Given general outlook on main topics, relationships is not something that I envy in current time.

People are driven by social media to acquire strong opinions and "reality", but I can assure that they're misled and being deliberately confused by catchy shot-sighted "facts".

Relationships are all about core values and understanding on how to build future with a partner, but just getting to know a partner and seeing life for what it is, seems to be most of the struggle when it shouldn't be.

Biggest challenge in relationships is actually making the best out of it, as the whole point of life is to procreate, share experience and bring value to others. All of that is fed on the media backwards, that basic interaction must be perfect, as well as guaranteed future.

With all introduced confusion, this is most lonely time to be alive for most people as they don't relate to "high body count" culture. It seems that it's driven by minority of extraverts that have certain social lifestyle, but it makes and impression on everyday people as well.

All I want to point out, is that online drama rarely correlates to what relationships are or should be.

No matter how much we're taught about western "equality" culture, women have certain abilities that can be expressed in feminine way, and men being soft is not a positive trait that will scream "family stability".

Considering above, relationships should not be a form of entertainment, but an important part of the future to be taken seriously. Consider the other party, learn to contribute in happiness and development of your partner. Avoid making points from small misunderstandings, reach agreements in private. As in any relationship, the best advice is to communicate.

Unfortunately communication link has been broken because of fragile egos, and unrealistic standards. To re-establish it, it requires commitment from both parties to trust each other. One of the most important behaviours to establish is to value your partner and prove your loyalty - unconditional love, that will open more direct communication that can resolve grievances in a day instead of managing "red flags" months at a time.

There's no future of building your relationship using new modern rules, it's that simple.

tldr; grow up

It's been broken down by platform:

Released on June 3rd. I remember being hesitant to watch it, but with genuine interest of Jeremy to build something on his farmland is actually quiet entertaining.

Jeremy is known for saying what he thinks and being rational most times, other times he may express personal opinion as we all do. The show turned out very grounded with ease of mind approach that doesn't bog down into minor details but follows daily events as he manages the farm with various professionals assisting him from different trades - sheep shearing, meat processing, soil management, harvest requirements, equipment, financial management. Pretty much daily management, but with responsibility in the hands of Jeremy, it's mostly dry humour which you can either enjoy or dismiss if you're a serious watcher.

In the 3rd episode, he ventures to other large scale farms to learn from which are more modernized, to see where he can gain an advantage over old methods of farming by introducing technology which can either automate field work, or get data about the soil and how to efficiently treat it. 

The series is quiet eye opening at times to see what is involved in managing a farm. It's a practical, hands-on career which has it's pro's and cons. 

With Amazon's production team, Jeremy's comfort of own home, and his gained popularity - it's one of the best "reality-shows" that guys can enjoy. 

His show also shares the reality of farmers and what they deal with. So when their farming regulations change at a drop of a hat, you understand the impact, which pretty much always results in giving away earnings as tax and having new challenges to overcome. 

Searching on google, you won't often find places that you stumble upon online.

Human recommendation is still better, if that's what you're looking for. Will be great just to make a "Lounge" where fair-intellectual people can exchange understanding, instead of reacting to new memes and sharing brainrot.

So far, good sites rarely shine. They're best built by communities, not social media companies.

A good place to start exploring more forums: https://www.forumdirectory.com/ which I will check out probably over the weekend. A few sites.. what I don't like is a stale website that has no updates going.

Another suggestion was https://www.findaforum.net/Home/TopForums/. Also a few things that will just need to be sifted out to see if there're any good worthwhile online communities.

Forums are often filled with knowledgable people that can single handedly influence the whole atmosphere of a site with their practice of knowledge. Jack of all trades user, is often just highly opinionated with shallow thoughts. But will keep this forum running with updates, will see if there's another human or two that wants to join a community of straight forward and respectful conversations.
