If you are in SF, or the Bay area alike, let me know and let's meetup!

Hey FDR community! I am reaching out today because I am extremely interested in starting a small community of developers, hackers, technologists and futurists who share the same values. I think a community of highly intelligent, capable and passionate individuals - in both tech and freedom - would be awesome. Not only can we get to know each other and make friends with others who share the same interests; but we will also have the opportunity to talk about newest innovations, projects we ourselves are working on and even collaborate with others! Ultimately I would love to get to know you, get a chance to work with great people on cool, liberty-oriented, money-making, open source projects. Let me know!

Cool!

Coherent Counseling Encompassing Counseling Personally I like 'Panorama' Counseling however not so much for therapy. Personally the work strikes a sort of exciting and intriguing feeling. I like Coherent Counseling the best Best of luck anyways !

What do you think is an ideal balance of 'left' vs 'right' brain? Especially in working with a therapist? Some therapists are relativist, buddhist monks and others can be completely emotionless. As a whole and specifically in finding a therapist, what would you think is an ideal balance? I look forward to your thoughts.

I'm not able to find the study.. Only an article with no data...

Mike Hearn has had enough with the bitcoin community and the issues that have arisen over the past little while. Any thoughts? https://medium.com/@octskyward/the-resolution-of-the-bitcoin-experiment-dabb30201f7#.jov5ys6a6 New resource: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/413pwp/mike_hearns_latest_blog_post_was_a_strategic_move/

Sadly I am moving away..... today. I am sorry to have missed you Bushrat. What do you have going on in Kelowna?

He is not a huge part of my life. I moved away and this is one significant reason. Its not something I mentioned to him because I wasn't completely aware and consciously internalizing the circumstances. I am also unsure what value / help he could provide -- that he would likely downplay it. That being said, I ended up calling him last night for the first time in quite some time to share the circumstances -- stating clearly to begin that this is a very real problem and I seek his thoughts and perspective rather than trying to diminish any problems that I will bring up. He did help me run through the various steps / things that need to be done. I do find it somewhat amusing though, as much as I agree, nowhere did I mention blaming myself entirely for this. I could have made better decisions and acted upon countless red flags as they arose. I think my father plays a role in not informing me of the potential dangers and things to look for when moving to somewhere new. This is definitely something a responsible parent should have done. Regardless I appreciate your comments and I have a plan which I would certainly love your thoughts on -- check the post to mellowmama before this.

Unfortunately I can feel it killing me Yeah, there is no way I am dealing with this. Getting the heck out of here asap.

I updated my message to you but I just want to thank you briefly for your kind and thoughtful message. As another update -- I plan to move out of the city as I was planning to attend a software bootcamp elsewhere regardless. So as of now, I am packing -- will take a trip down to Vancouver and take out a loan to pay for expenses and rent which will basically double. Any thoughts on the current plan ? Find a place to rent. Visit and confirm Establish a move date and if possible hitch a ride with someone I know / worked with Sell stuff like my bed, desk -- possible my whiteboard -- and other items I cannot bring with me Pay for what I can afford and take a loan for the rest so I am okay atleast until the end of the bootcamp + 2 months. The main issue is timing though -- I am supposed to be starting full-time prework and the bootcamp starts physically in the beginning of January. Any further thoughts or suggestions? Thanks a ton.

Update: I must get out today. I literally physically cannot stay..... First of all, I really appreciate your empathy and support. It is quite a crappy predicament. Right, I certainly agree. It was clear to me there were problems before moving but I basically signed given its got a vacancy rate of 1% and did not feel comfortable spending and leaving my stuff for long if at all in a hostel. I moved out from my dad's in the summer across the country and actually signed the contract based on pictures before seeing it. I thought I could not afford to travel and find a place however in the long term I would guess the costs are about the same. You are correct, this is the first apartment I have rented on my own. Before I moved in the red flags were there: She asked me to sign a three year contract before even seeing the place. In addition I noticed mold when I got there, cat hair and sticky substance on the floor, stovetop not clean, there are no locks on the windows (yes) and furthermore when problems would arise she would play mrs. innocent sexy woman. Oh; and she needed me to pay cash -- it was fine if I didn't have enough and paid a couple days late -- but it must be cash . There is no vent at all in the room. 3/4 lights were burnt out and there are no monoxide or smoke alarms. There is more but in short, it was issue after issue and whenever I would bring them up she would get oddly sexual and I would get very uncomfortable and want to escape her presence. I don't live near anyone I know exept some people I met at a bitcoin meetup (not friends but I have some of their numbers). No one to turn to really... It certainly will. I fucked up hard this time.

Essentially I moved into a basement apartment which is infested with black mould and possibly asbestos. In Canada, the law states that the landlord is under to legal requirement to do anything about (black mould) and that it is simply my word again hers -- she can claim I caused it and try to sue me. I told the landlord who has an overwhelming track record of red flags and she tried to tell me that the blanket under my door to keep out the sound has caused it -- despite the fact that there is absolutely no vent for air circulation. Regardless, my health is deteriorating because of it -- I woke up last night practically weezing for breath from my lungs being collapsed and lacking oxygen. I would compare it to having asthma, or smoking weed -- but a lot worse and more painful. It effects my throat, lungs, heart and even stomach. I literally start experiencing symptoms the moment I step inside. Generally I am in here 22 hours a day working.... I work on my computer and constantly get up, stick my face to the window and breath in 'fresh air'. I actually don't know how much longer I can physically deal with this environment. Without being too dramatic, it literally feels like I might actually fail to wake up the next morning... I have 6 months left on my contract however I am paid up until December 31 + security deposit and I think I might just get my stuff and leave without notice. Currently, I think I will find a storage unit and start moving my stuff there. I need to find a place and move out ASAP it seems. She refuses to do anything and she is a horrible landlord to begin with (I can go into more detail why). What should I do ? Will the cops come after me? If anyone might be interested in offering some advice, thoughts or suggestions over a call or anything let me know. I need to figure this out ASAP. Its so bad I am seriously thinking about moving my bed outside -- despite it being on average -15C... Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated immensely.

I don't know mine but have been eager to get tested. For what it is worth, the online tests are BS and illegitimate.

Bitcoin is not necessarily anonymous. This is a common misunderstanding and has caused a large rucus in the libertarian community. It is anonymous insofar as you can use techniques such as generating new public keys for every transaction as well as "shapeshifting" your currency; but it is on a public ledger so if anyone discovers you are the owner of a public key, they can track every transaction of that coin. Does that make any sense? Regardless, what it will mean is that businesses can no longer accept and transact in bitcoin -- legally -- which is actually quite unfortunate.

Indifferent Lacks passion and drive Lacks enthusiasm Expects others to take care of her Complains and is depressed more often than not Visionless Does not express preferences Ashamed (and wants you to feel bad for her) -- rather than seeking genuine empathy, it is a drug essentially Does not fulfil commitments and I could go on. This list is in no particular order. This list also applies to both men and women for any kind of friendship. Why would I spend a significant amount of time with anyone who is not self-motivated, interested in improving themselves, philosophical, etc. That would take a huge toll on my entire existence... Also stupidity... I can't stand stupid people. She must be curious and a self motivated learner.

Lmfao. This is probably the funniest thing I have ever read. And I have no idea how serious you are.

First of all, you are in Kelowna? Let's meet up! I agree I think that is a horrible idea and I can't imagine that the teachers who implement this don't realize its implications. I can't imagine its not clear to most people that the children would acknowledge and experience this as further loneliness and dissociation rather than an invitation for a new friendship. For what it is worth, what bothers me even more -- and I am really sorry to hear -- that your wife does not share this disgust and appall towards the current education system. I don't think I have actually met a single person I respect (I apologize -- I am not trying to attack your wife) who doesn't realize the current education system is so clearly corrupt and a horrible, distasteful way to teach and treat children. I think you are best off pulling your kid out of school if you can then trying to approach the school. I am not sure how much impact you can have -- and whether your time is worth it. "likewise dose she want to listen to this sites many podcasts on the matter." To clarify, are you saying she does not find value in FDR? Have you shared the peaceful parenting stuff? How did she respond? Personally, I think you ought to figure out a way, any way, to pull your daughter out of "school" and educate and spend more time with her yourself. Its all an investment and if you can possibly afford to, you will fundamentally improve the capacity, happiness and potential of your daughter. Is there much of anything that is not worth that? I am curious -- though I completely understand you perhaps not wanting to get into too much detail -- in what area(s) you work and what your wife is taking in college? Beyond that, come check out the local Bitcoin meetup. Hope to see you there

Made me cry. I don't know what to say beyond I am so so so so so sorry to hear what you have and continue to go through. No living organism should experience any of it. I sincerely wish you the best Bruce.

Personally, I see it less so in the sense of religion, but rather in terms of a willingness to commit acts of violence, force and aggression. Either way, I sincerely wish you the best. I am extremely glad to hear you came to the forums and hopefully gained some valuable perspectives and knowledge. All the best my friend !

Github: https://github.com/jakezeal/SenStem Skype: https://join.skype.com/DlZ4VNPAAssb I would suggest as a first step getting everyone on skype for a call and using it as a substitute for Slack. We could also create a Google Drive folder to share information that might be easier than transfering over Github (ie. sentence stems, etc.). Perhaps one of the next steps would be to collect requirements (features, priorities, milestones, etc.) and share our skills, desires and what we are able to do. I look forward to working with all of you ! See you on Skype !
