I'd say that's a pretty accurate assessment of the situation... I think the whole COVID situation gave a lot of people time enough to "sit with themselves" in ways they'd never had to before...

Very cool, and thanks for sharing this very thorough illustrated guide! We don't have a lot of oaks around here, but I do remember a couple of our First Nations friends gathering huge volumes of acorns

Wow Jacob, thanks for the shoutout! That's really awesome of you to do this — appreciate it!

There was a somewhat famous study done at one of the Ivy League universities, concerning money and happiness. They followed a group of people for more than a decade... and it was determined that beyond

Indeed. You don't hear a lot of people on their death bed wishing they had made more money... they invariably talk about the people in their lives, and the experiences they had.

My Twitter account dates to about the same time as yours, but I never really got much traction there, and the whole short content format never really held my attention, so Twitter clones are also of little

Whether Gensler is out yet I don't know, but I'm pretty sure his days are numbered, given the new Administration.

It'll certainly be interesting to see what happens... whether we actually get a new direction, or it just becomes "more of the above" wearing different clothes...

It is both strange and alarming what people will believe. I remember talking to this game designer/tech genius I know and he was pointing out how something like Q-Anon basically had the feel of "A

It takes a lot of double checking and backtracking to confirm that something actually is what it claims to be... and it's frustratingly time consuming.

Perhaps that is what I find to be the single most frustrating part of "the system;" this sensation what if you are thinking, you're outnumbered and irrelevant. Which invariably leads me down

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos... all from my own time in nature...

These are such beautiful and "quiet" images; remind me a lot of the woods near where I grew up in Denmark.

It's just not a very friendly or fun platform anymore... which is a shame, because it did used to be cool!

It used to be my go-to place for a lot of different things you could find nowhere else, especially in the area of collectibles.

That's interesting... I hope they do that here in the States, as well. It's ironic that there would not be an eBay, we're it not for the small private sellers who built it!

There was a time when I had hope that someone would build a decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace here on Hive... but sadly it seems that people here are more interested in "playing with crypto"

It went away after a couple of hours... or maybe I just tuned it out! It came back during the day today for about 30 minutes, and stopped. I think it's a septic pump alarm on a house that's currently not

Sometimes it almost feels like there's s contest to see WHO CAN SHOUT THE LOUDEST and be the most obnoxious and disagreeable while generally ignoring reality. I'd rather be here...

But of course! I will Master Jacob, I will! Shades of junior high: I can't be friends with you because you're friends with Bob, and Bob is friends with Sally whose brother is my mortal enemy!"
