RE: Adelaide Steem Meet Up - January 2020 - FFF -
This is a great #foodfight addition!!! Sometimes our best stuff comes out of nowhere and isn’t the template that everyone expects. I dig it. And that pizza, as ashamed as I am to admit this, looks freaking good. I don’t usually go for pizza but when I do, I order the DELUXE (inside joke between @dandays and I). Way to bring back “the community” feels. Happy food fight @shaidon!
Thank you once again. I’d been accused of talking BS by a rather wealthy Orca here, when I said my focus was on the community and they suggested that I burn all of my post rewards, etc. which I found ironic because they were in a power down at the time. It must be great to have that kind of wealth. Maybe one day.
I do know that the real key to success on this platform is engagement and helping to make people feel welcome here.
So, that is what my focus for this year on the platform will be.
That’s great. Not the orca comment but your mindset comment. It’s the small fish that are the heartbeat of anything so who cares what he thinks. Most people in any sort of power are subject to be corrupted one form or another. Putting the community first, I think, is admirable and I think more people should say what they think instead of cowering to the powers that be, that wouldn’t have any power at all if we all went away, now would they?!?
I have never understood why they choose to drive people away and destroy their investment.
Because big wallets don’t always equate to big brains 🤷🏼♀️
I am not sure what a deluxe pizza is, but I am assuming it’s similar to what we call a supreme.
I switch between vegetarian, supreme, and meat lovers. I don’t have any real strict food rules, outside the diabetes requirements and reading food labels to check the carbohydrate levels that is.
Things are a little tight financially right now, so it’s caused a bit of a re-think of everything.
But it’s allowed me focus a bit more on my bigger picture goals. It’d like to go dolphin before the end of the year, but I’d also like to have an overseas adventure along the way as well.
We’ll see what happens.
I vote for overseas adventure. That’s something you’ll never forget but Steemit could be gone tomorrow. Plus, the people who are active in the community seem to be the same people who were active when I was active several months ago. Go on a trip!!! Your soul will appreciate more.
And the deluxe is an order that drunk Pura has made over the phone at 1:30 am, which doesn’t exist. Haha. It’s a supreme I think. I don’t know, I was shit faced after a Grateful Dead concert and was huuungrryyy from all of IPA. Dandays said I tried to order EVERYTHING that could possibly be on the menu. We laugh about now.
Yeah that sounds great, the deluxe being an in-joke that you can use whenever you want to stir each other up. Overseas travel, as an Australian, was always outside of my financial reach. But I am looking at different options, possibly learning to teach English as a second language in Japan or South Korea. But I want to visit a few penpals I have known for a few decades in other countries.
Thank you for the encouragement.
Just FYI, I teach English too. It’s a great way to get some travel in and you learn so much from engulfing yourself in the culture. Japan can be more difficult to get in with but if you’re not picky where you are stationed then you should be fine. I think it’s such an adventurous career opportunity for anybody. Plus, Japan has a tendency to pay for lodging, which leaves you more money to travel on your days off. Good luck with the decision and I truly hope you end up taking a risk. Our biggest rewards sometimes come from our most insane risks. Go figure :)
It’s all pie-in-the-sky stuff for now, but I am looking at different options. I didn’t know you taught English. But I would really like to get out of the country for a while, earn some money, do some good and just live for once.
I do love that I can generate Steem from wherever I am in the world. There’s a freedom in that.
I just wish that people could see the true value of it.
One day they will
