@freeschool Your response is proof-positive that the power of human mind to understand context, assess situations, and advance solutions is unfathomable. Your answers went well-beyond the questions asked and provided value I can't realize, but society-at-large can! And you took scarce time out of your finite lifespan to do this "trade-free" as @tio advocates. Imagine a society where everyone does what you and Tio do. At a minimum we could learn how to meet EVERYONE'S basic needs--and much more!
Loyalties lead to war.
It's not the only thing but usually connected to conditional existence or hidden / unsaid expectations.
Life is full of fake loyalties and people that shy away from battles (individually, in a their own social group, or externally tested from opposition or mutually curious people)
Loyalty to yourself can exist while looking after others though under duress gets played against each other...
My ideal when under stresses to allow the right things to come through not matter from which side or who says it or from unsaid scores or opinions which all come out at the wrong time.
You might not want that for other or yourself.
I have to accept defeat that in a some cases of communication 'efficiency'.,,, but most I don't accept :)
I have to accept defeat that in a some cases of communication 'efficiency'. So doing and saying less works but for me it's more the practical sense usually not the feelings.
Doing less damage from practical work I can understand, measure twice and then cut etc....
But doing less communication also is not taking care usually.. eventually things comes around or happen again so better improve at least slowly and with focus / care instead of almost ignoring and passing awkward situations again or waiting for someone to make an error AND THEN TELL THEM ANGRILY!! <--- LOL U
SO for the human situations (i,e, understandings) almost everybody has to hold up the cost of communication (even the EXTRA SHIT) in order for humanity to slowly evolve which is a type of incrementing efficiency itself without you measuring that scope (you probably only measure or care about what you see <--- or many people do).
So you see it's not efficient to constantly do short SMS etc
An example / Analogy (and fun truth perhaps!)
10 emotional SMS vs. 1 hours personal chat to solve things or feel more progress / care attention than juggling sms in between other things
The scientific form of efficiency doesn't work with emotional plane or realm of human feeling.
Don't ask your girlfriend/wife if I'm right about your efficiency and logic - just send here an SMS instead lol
And then break up wondering why! :)
End of fun analogy - a lot of people going to learn this one way or the other - read again if not sure
Human error - taking examples and amplifying them / grouping them incorrectly...
If I tell you I don't add salt to my food, don't take it to mean I won't take salt ever
If I say I like a leaders balls for doing the evil he/she did as an example of 'there is much more possible than you think from 1 person', then don't take it like I like I'm a fan or love anything more than that
If I write something here as an example, don't always take it like it's more than just an example!
Working backwards to help complete your life... think about a road map in reverse... jumping out of just short pointless loops without aims...
Working backwards to help complete your life or think about jumping out of pointless loops...
So the main word here is backwards, like looking from the other side of a pipe to get another perspective.
The perspective from the end of your life! So working backwards you can imagine a bit more what is possible (what you see in your own reality is not only what is possible!)... then you can say and almost create your reality NOW rather than patching together reality without a longer chain of main requirements / milestones.
This might sound borderline bullshit (honk your horn!) but it's to say life isn't just the short loops people would like your to stay in or only what you see.... YOU also can create it and draw a better road map.
Not just what you think is the next step... but what is at the end game (and think about that in reverse order also)...
This tunnel of work and then changing probably or 1 type of work forever?
Do you want to choose that tunnel or another one?
Similar also to looking back if you were already old or thinking about how you would in theory explain your story to children about spent your time... I want to do this and to do that I would need to do this, but before that this and this... which probably needs this... and at the end you have a road map (from end point... and then yeah think chronologically forward again)
Just visualise and answering the main question here is.. WHAT IS YOUR END POINT?
Although never going to be 100% or even 10%.... I feel when you know your vocabulary then even a totally different sport can contain the SAME attributes and failure is only transferred to that sport instead which is no failure at all! ....
Good / Bad examples
A few sports people I've spoken personally had to change their mindset if they wanted to be almost perfect (or maybe they were like that in attitude but it magnified going for 'gold') so my suggestion is NOT going gor olympic gold, it's burning too much energy and low chance or low reward even if you get there... or consider moving sport after because it's jut 15mins of fame and that's it (dog eat dog).
So sport good, gold medal unrealistic unless you do small sports and accept you 'weren't with the best always but the best is just cut-throat suicide and full of competitive attitude.
STUDENTS
Where the fuck does your study lead? Talk to those at the end-game and see what avenues it leads otherwise you're just going to be unhappy and killed your time for making parents happy. The people already in the job WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH about the whole experience, teh pay, the conditions, how ofte, how many times, why this and that... so not just study study and then realising it's a bunch of lies OR YOU CREATED THE STORY AWAY FROM REALISM! It's natural to do that like imagining that boy or girl! They all smell after a while so don't trick yourself...
If you didn't realise where you are going... and just look 1 step ahead - I SUGGEST YOU LOOK ALSO FROM THE END... AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE END... THAT SHOWS YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE IT
In order to make your ending happen... you need to imagine it better (practise imagining until you know what choices to make when it starts happening or efforts fall into place as higher %)
I was very scared when I first saw this... but now it's become 'normal' to me and not strange
:D
Being protective can be close to being predatory...
It can be just a matter of opinion or also deliberate trojan horse since people often don't want to disclose their poitics...
So a predator (knowingly or not) can use 'protective' reasoning as a cover... it's natural but oten very exploited
Other examples:
Health & Safety - Because of 'this' [bullshit reason] we have to do that [aggressive move/taking your rights under cover]
Jealousy/Other - I don't want you going there because it's not safe (=don't want you playing with them / I'm jealous of that family)
You have to do xyz (so I can keep an eye on you)
Hmmm very subtle hidden stuff
@nephitejnf
Hiya, just notice on your profile page "Yewtube" and by chance there is a Yewtube !!
Yewtu.be takes out the YouTube. Adverts and Tracking!!
So your bio link could be
https://yewtu.be/user/nephitejnf
or if you don't like that url use of the filter services found here:
https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCzLjjRlkOosxt0eQamPyhlA
So check that out and you can basically link people better using this filter proxy (which loads things faster too) it's called Invidious and saving you and people the privacy... !
+1 yewtu.be / Invidious
+1 Bitchute
+1 for using XMPP
+1 for using Peertube (or NephTube ;>)
For general ungoogly browsing:
I'm ECO-friendly but WTF check this service provider !!
Datacenter in Linthal, Switzerland
They use an old building, second-hand servers, passive cooling and are directly plugged into an on-site hydroelectric power plant!
https://ungleich.ch/ !!!!!!!!!!
☑️ Old building (reuse)
☑️ 2nd-hand (reuse, reviving old tech +10)
☑️ Passive cooling (energy under-use)
☑️ ☑️ Hydroelectric power plant if it really works for them since it was already there and probably the right setup
= x10/x100/x1000 power combination
@devinprater I don't know about Matrix. I prefer #XMPP because I think standardization is more important than trendy protocols, especially for something like chat which has been 'solved' for many years yet we still see a lot of fragmentation. Instead of building (and thus improving) on the existing internet standard, #Matrix decided to invent yet another messaging format, E2EE protocol, A/V call signalling, ... all incompatible with XMPP.

An out of context edit.
I mean it to mean that other men have plotted against you, the original video pins it on the devil which could be the same thing but I'm presenting clear conscious people who know you forget or ignore when spending money that it is hindering you like breaking your legs as you try and jump higher. Unsatisfied and deliberate people which could be considered devil-like since they are so intent and don't want to see others succeed without profiting them first.
Emails are still a BIG weak point - we still need to solve that... Suggestions?...
I guess the reader will know why having BigTech email is bad (for everyone, even your family)
So it's this basic thing that feels like it's the worst or even biggest solvable
Thoughts and suggestions how to solve for average person?
(Take their phone for 30mins and give them a new email?) ...where to go for email?

I've been making pens! Here are three I turned on my mini lathe recently, the woods are (from left to right)
Bolivian Rosewood
Cocobolo
Macassar Ebony
(Buckeye burl in the works, it's gorgeous)
Each one is made with different embellishments, slightly different widths and grips, and an increasingly refined process as I make more!
The refills are by Cross, and if I can find kits for fountain pens, I'll definitely want to try my hand at making those too! These are really hefty and dense and have great balance to them, so I'm pretty happy with how they all turned out!
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
