Apr. 1, 23: Routine, Pizza Events, Walking, Movies, and Games

[Crap! I just realized that I totally forgot about HPUD yesterday. 😢]

Got to sleep around nine last night and got up around one thirty and moved out to the couch. Made it all the way until nearly six for just shy of nine hours on the night! 🥳😁 Didn't feel too bad today, actually, and even went out for a walk and took care of a massive, unplanned project in the evening. 👍

I don't know what happened yesterday, but I'm now faced with a dilemma. It seems I completely forgot to get my crypto market picture for the day. 🤬 So the question is: do I just accept it and leave it blank, do I use today's twice, or do I shift a day and use the photo from this morning rather than yesterday.

While it kinda' sucks, I think leaving it blank for today is the best option from among those I listed. Soooo, the crypto markets either went up or down or traded sideways today...😜

I was supposed to attend the Libertarian Party special convention today, and when I got up I resolved to go, but I couldn't bring myself to sit in a meeting all day that would likely be viewed as invalid by half (or more) of the party. Honestly, I think I'm done with it.

As I also mentioned in my post yesterday, I'd attended the TeamPH AMA and the notion that they'd kick people for taking profit really bothered me (even though I totally get that they want a community of people in it for the long haul) and I presented my challenge in their Discord.

I was hoping that they'd engage, have some cogent arguments, and at least make definitive what an "extractor" is...their statement had been that "it's pretty obvious who those people are"...that is to say, it's leadership's whim, and I was further hoping that my challenge wouldn't be brushed off or worse, met with hostility.

Unfortunately, the long story short response was that it wasn't the community for me and that's just how their "leadership roles" (at least spellcheck if you're going to be a dick, eh?), and that my opinion was irrelevant.

Since it was their Discord and their community, I didn't argue any further, just have to respect that they couldn't give a fuck about my support or not and walk away (which I hadn't intended at all, but they made up my mind for me).

I withdrew my liquidity from their pool, swapped out all the liquid I had, and went harder into the PIMP:STELLARUM pool...those guys can take a challenge and are making good progress, so I'm going to keep the faith alive with them.

There is the further issue of my stake...I see no point in powering down for five years. They said they were going to pay game income to stakers, so since I'm stuck for five years anyway, I might as well become an "extractor" to the extent that I can (that one backfired on ya'll didn't it?!).

I'll still be getting the tokens from pools and stuff, but I don't have any intention of staking any more...they set up pools (guess they didn't see the obvious consequences of that one 🤷‍♂️), so I can easily dump out.

Speaking of PIMP, hush hush, but you should be snagging some right now (financial advice)...there's some very interesting developments in the pipeline that should positively impact an already increasing price, so get them while you can! Don't say I didn't warn ya'!!! 🤑

I suppose that little bit of drama was the interesting bit of my morning routine, otherwise pretty much just did all the usual stuff...although, it seems like I slacked a bit on my curating today. Got a solid post done, but it took me longer than expected and I was about ten minutes late posting and late to Gartic.

Headed over to Pizza server for the weekly happenings and we got yet another record on Gartic today and pushed the all time high by nearly another ten! 🤩💪 That's two weeks in a row. 🤯

After Gartic there was dCrops pack opening event and I got extra lucky and won two new NFTs today! 🤑 Then, after that we had Trivia. 😄 I started off pretty rough and got the first four or five wrong, but Beard threw me a math question that broke the seal and I did much better after that. [Just realized I didn't stake up the PIZZA I got...gotta' do that 🤑]

I grabbed some lunch and chatted a bit over in Pimp server for a bit about the 🤫 and the rain that had been coming down all night and morning finally took a break, so we headed out for a walk with the dog.

It was kind of cold, and seriously windy, but not miserable when we started. However, about half way it started to hail. At first they were tiny white balls, but they shifted to more like little ice crystals...with the wind blowing them in our eyes, not exactly pleasant.

That didn't last too long, though, and had quit by the time we got down to the store. We'd tried like four or five times and every time it was sold out, but we finally got to rent Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. We'd also looked at Clerks III yesterday but it was only available to rent (for like five dollars or more) and we got the lucky free rental bonus and snagged it for freeee! 😄

I guess Puss in Boots was a different director and the action scene animations were kind of weird (more like anime style than I would have expected), but it was totally fun and worth the watch, as usual (watched all the shows and the movies 😀).

When that finished up, Wenche made us a homemade pizza for dinner and then the evening sort of went off the rails...

I kinda' figured it would make a lot more sense for Wenche to see Clerks before the third one (can skip the second 😛) but that meant tracking down the movie case...started pulling apart the shelving that had all the movies and games thinking I may have tucked it in behind everything, but nope.

Turns out, it was a few feet away over by the TV. 😂 In for a penny, in for a pound, though, right? It had been forever since I'd cleaned it (and it was obvious) and the movies were overflowing all over the place since a large portion of the shelves were occupied by old PS1, PS2, Xbox, 360, and One games (that, to be honest, I don't play any more...not since I got the Quest), so I boxed up all the games (learned my lesson when I sold my Atari and all its games...you know what that's worth now?!?!), cleaned up the shelves, and then re-alphabetized the whole movie collection.

After I'd gotten that all done, I got ready for bed, and we finally put on Clerks, but I only made it about half way before falling asleep. 😢

[Wow! Made it to sixteen hundred words without even any commentary on cryptos. 😯]

Splinterlands:
Wow! Ouch! Just for real, ouch! My Splinterlands rental income fell by a whole dollar ten to a mere seventy cents?! I'm only renting at like 37% capacity as well...not sure WTF is going on other than the season end, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

Regardless, since this is currently my only proper source of liquid for the moment and I've been running low, I decided to swap out the DEC I had...maybe I pulled out too much and crippled the rental bot? I don't know. 🤔

Claimed my SPS interest for the day and, with only a slight hesitation, just staked it all. For some insane reason I want to see my daily GLX income go back to seventy...I'm just going to hope that there's an angel somewhere looking out for me and that's why.

dShitty:
No crime or crises in dShitty today and it's looking like both my SIM and HIVE income are remaining stable. I did get that extra one from war profits (I'm a hypocrite...should probably burn it or something 😜) but I figured I'd just say so rather than bothering with a separate picture.

RS:
When I went in to check on Rising Star, I had one percent Ego and so ran a lesson. However, that was the extent of it for today, just a one lesson day.

HK:
Blah blah. I really need to just abandon this section; it's super lame, kind of like this game. 😛

GLX:
It's kind of hard to believe, but since the price started falling precipitously and I stopped swapping any out, just a week or two ago, it's literally lost fifty percent of its value. 🤨

I guess people figured (like me) they'd better get while the getting's good...why I decided to act against that better judgment, I have yet to comprehend.

WOO:
Things been looking good with WOO the last couple days, just keeping on stacking those daily rewards in anticipation. Got a bit more liquid at the moment, might snag a bit more here like I've been thinking about. 🤔 Tough decision, though, when you want more PIMP and the PIMP is already too damn high! 😆
