July 15, 22: Routine, Walking, Oculus, Pizza Trivia, TV, and Games
[Well, shit. Two days later and I still can’t stop tripping composing my letter to acidyo once my stake rivals his…such a waste of mental energy. 😡 In time, though, in time I will vote whomever I please for whatever reason I please and he will impose his vision (or, rather, lack thereof) on me at his own peril. However, today is not that day and I’d much rather be thinking about something productive. Wenche is working this weekend, so we’re going to head in this morning to get the groceries done, so going to post the skeleton of my post early and edit later.]
Up at five this morning, so not too bad, but I was up later than usual and still ended up an hour short on sleep. My tummy was killing me and by the time I went to the bathroom I was just awake. 😭
As is demonstrated by the opening of my post, still been having a tough time focusing…my mind won’t quit recycling through the same idea (and my tummy won’t quit churning). Still, tried to get on with my usual morning routine.
Not really much interesting going on there. Cryptos still trading more or less sideways and vouchers are still down too hard for me to sell, so I don’t really have any liquid to play with. 😭 Mostly just shifted H-E tokens, got caught up on Discord, all the usual stuff.
Wenche had the day off today (she’s working over the weekend), and it was quite nice out, and it had been forever since we’d taken the dog out for a walk, so we headed out for a bit.
Pretty darn nice summer day if you ask me, but I think my other two companions were of the opinion that it was a little too warm. I complain all winter 🥶 so no complaints from me now! Only four kilometers, though, so I guess it doesn’t count as a “proper” walk, but better than nothing, for sure! 💪
We mostly stayed on the sidewalk/pavement, but I did get a chance to do some bug hunting! 😁 Saw a ton of little white butterflies and a grasshopper, but they were too quick to get a shot. There were a ton (more than I’ve ever seen in one place) of the bright red beetles:
They were chawing down on the milkweed leaves:
Caught these two doin’ tha’ dirty!
There were a bunch of earwigs all congregated down in the shade of the leaves, but not the best pic:
This one was really disappointing. That would have been an awesome shot with the bee and the bright flower, but the wind kept moving the stalk and I couldn’t get focus before it flew away. 😭
Little caterpillar 🐛 going for a stroll:
Only got a couple days left of early access for Into the Radius, so I jumped in and played for a while. The left analog stick is still kind of annoying, but it doesn’t seem to be quite as bad as it was, so it’s mostly tolerable for now. Unfortunately, the headset strap clasp broke today too. 😡 Seems like the damn thing is set to self-destruct after a year or so. 🤬 Not sure whether to try and start replacing stuff or just wait for the Quest 3 to come out.
Anyway, the alarm went off, so I quit out and went over for Pizza Trivia Night! 🥳 Tonight was a tough one for “B” 😂, and as a member of the B-team, I didn’t do all that well. Still, won like three PIZZA and had fun, so it was totally worth it. 👍😀
I grabbed some leftovers for dinner since the steaks hadn’t quite thawed out and watched about half of the Bob’s Burgers movie before falling asleep pretty early.
[Hooray! Lucky me. Acid decided to come harass me on this post as well, figured it was a matter of time…smoking like a chimney right now. Oh, well, he believes my business is his business, so asking him to simply leave me alone is fruitless. I’ve got a notification ping and like every one for the last two days, I’m scared to look. 😡]
Ahhh, we are at maximum shittiness saturation levels on dShitty now. We have a crisis, but it can have no more effect…what’s it going to do, make my income more negative? (Well, yes, actually. 😛)
Did just the one mission on Rising Star today, but my Ego was still zero and I was able to keep at them. Really got no goals with this any more…the ones I did have are unrealistic in this lifetime, so I don’t know. Just let it sit and do what it’s doing, I guess.
I was home for most of the day and so probably could have taken care of HashKings, but I didn’t. Pretty sure my plants are dead, but hopefully not.
Didn’t have even the least desire to play Splinterlands today. I went in and staked my SPS drop, but that was it.
Speaking of the SPS drop, there’s like ten days left…better look out for a sharp drop in the value of DEC, when like myself, nearly everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and get out of the pool…there’s going to be some major dumpage, I feel it.

Power up and Hive on!
ok
Quite terrible voting csi, would be great if you'd spend some time spreading that stake around rather than just voting the same users constantly is all I'm saying. Doesn't take a lot to make Hive better than assuming others will do it for you. Simply spending some of that vp following a curation trail or delegating to a curation project would distribute stake wider.
https://hivetasks.com/@definethedollar
but okay, hold a grudge instead and "plan on growing your stake bigger than mine" for future retaliation, that's mature.
I appreciate that you feel you do Hive better, and I’ll take your input under advisement.
It’s not a grudge, it’s a state. The game is: those with the power have the power. Your power lies in the threat of a downvote…I simply don’t want to have to be afraid any more.
I don’t think you’re aware (or care) what affect you have had on the last two days of my life…even now as you’re digging through my stats, but humans don’t matter, the rewards pool does, right?
I already told you I was coming off a bit too strong in the beginning after having investigated others consistently votetrading on garbage content, and got a bit triggered from your sarcastic tone when I'm here spending my time trying to make this platform better so I took that back. Yet here you start a new post about how you've been obsessing over what I said and being afraid of downvotes as if it's the end of the world.
Just consider spreading your votes around a bit as it really goes a long way for retention of users and growing the place.
Yes I don't care about people, that's why I spend literally every day the last 6 years curating manually so I can vote as many as possible to make their Hive experience better. Miss me with that shit.
Obviously I wasn't aware you'd be this sensitive over a few comments or in flight mode about a few possible downvotes. Relax and maybe try not to trade votes with a group who seem to maximize it to afford their dleases.
