June Retrospective and July Plans
Let's see... 30 days has September, April, June... yup, it's time yet again for a retrospective post! It's also Hive Power Up Day, and I staked my HIVE already. Have you?

Before I get sidetracked with another rant, let's see what I accomplished in June, starting with:
- May Retrospective and June Plans, last month's edition of this post.
- Easing the Impact of Inflation on Your Finances, in which I discussed ways to tale control of money before money gets us in a stranglehold of inflation and debt.
- He's Not Wrong, a clickbait title for a car post and some musings about technological progress and regress.
- Stretch Your Money! More financial musings.
- Have a Can-Do Attitude Toward Cooking Food! A quick-and-dirty look at how a relatively nutritious and healthy meal can be prepared using inexpensive ingredients and canned goods bought at a discount.
- Another "Most Important Election Of Our Lives?" Political theater sucks, OK? Stop feeding the beast.
- Cool Creator Spotlight: The Art of Manliness, an overview of a website anyone should find useful, whether man, woman, or perplexed about gender altogether.
- Analog Skills in the Digital Age, or, old man complains about kids these days.
- I Pulled the Wool Over My Eyes, because that's how you put on a shirt. I spent money on Merino wool garments and offered some opinions.
- Tier Levels in Commander, an attempt to write more hobby content.
- Happy 50th Birthday to the Barcode! A momentous anniversary for something now ubiquitous.
I have no big July plans. In all honesty, this past month has been rough. I know it's vagueposting, but it's not the kind of things I really want to broadcast to the world, even in a pseudo-anonymous form.
June was also apparently Men's Health Month, as if anyone gives a rip about that. The talking heads like to babble about "the patriarchy," but face the facts: men are considered expendable by society at large unless you're filthy rich and politically connected. I am not looking forward to Independence Day because current events are making a mockery of the very thing that holiday is supposed to celebrate.
One of the things I dislike about legacy social media is the lack of any filter self-imposed by most users. Parents way over-share every aspect of their childrens' lives with complete disregard for how their kids might feel about it in the future. People detail their emotional rollercoasters and dating mishaps. Some folks make a digital mountain out of every real-world molehill they encounter. I don't want to be like that, but I also don't want to pretend everything's hunky-dory when it's not. It's a difficult balancing act, complicated by the way different people can perceive the same text in almost opposite ways.
I do look forward to hopefully getting summer at some point this year now that the solstice is past. Cold temperatures and storm fronts are making my old injuries ache. As I mentioned in my Commander post, I have been taking time off from writing to indulge in my collectible card game hobby, and I have started making some new or updated online deck lists I might be able to share. Any maybe time off from life will coincide with not-cold-or-rainy-weather to finally do some outdoorsy stuff. We'll see. Thunder is rumbling outside again as I type this post.
Meanwhile, I'll be a bad stoic, doggedly plugging along while occasionally grumbling.
Congratulations @jacobtothe! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

Check out our last posts:
Sorry to say, I am one of those over sharing people, but if I am going to write what is happening in my life, I want to be truthful about it because I write what I feel in hopes that one day some future family member will want to know who I am the things I went through.
I can not believe it is still cold where you live, I must live under a rock because I thought it was hot everywhere in the USA. I hope your weather warms up soon.
Well, nothing that happens outside NYC, DV,LA, or Chicago matters to the media, so their experiences color everything they report.
On Hive, there are users who use the DHF for personal gain, not genuinely caring about Hive's growth. Tribes may promise much but consistently fall short, leading to disappointment by many who invest time and money. It's puzzling how one can be rewarded for subpar work.
Hive's Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) is a topic of debate. We feel it's not being utilized effectively, serving more as a resource for various Hive 'farmers'. The concept of voting gangs is also a concern, top Hive farmers and abusers are influencing the trending page.
Hive has a significant amount of unstaked coins, which could impact its price. Transparency and honesty are crucial. There's a fear of speaking up due to potential downvotes, which doesn't align with the idea of true freedom.

Farming? Show me where I am farming, I post like one post a month at this point, and all buildawhale is burned. As you say transactions don’t lie. And don't say curation rewards, I'd get those no matter what I vote on and if you expect I will be the only person on this blockchain to forfeit curation rewards, you are dumber than we know you are.

All I get out of this is that you want to automate content spam the way you automated comment spam.
BIG NO

Haha at "I shouldn't make commercial" :D Maybe something to worry about when you have more youtube subscribers! Quite interesting content though, these things should get more subs on there and here.

Stop supporting the fake Hive police who do nothing but exploit Hive
Many people on Hive will never get to spend any of their Hive as it may become illegal in certain countries

Dear beloved Hive creator,
Coding poet Gudasol here to support you sharing your art + life on Hive.
As a fellow creator, I know how hard it is to get the word out there.
I built cXc.world to help creators like us get more support from the blockchain community + beyond.
Share your music on cXc.world, and copy the Markdown for a easy post includes embedded players for Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud.
That way, you can earn HIVE + stack streams on centralized platforms, as they do still matter.
Not a music creator? No problem. You can still use cXc.world to find + share music you love.
What's next?
Preview the next evolution of cXc, Tetra.earth.
Expose local music from your area!
We're helping grassroots musicians, and you can too by adding their music (no sign up or WAX account required).
Join our community 🐬
Find fellow music lovers in cXc's Discord
Bad news: Saying see you later to Hive! 👋
We didn't get the needed support to continue cXc.world on Hive, as our DHF proposal lacked votes, but [Good News Everyone] cXc.world will add a Markdown copy button, allowing you to easily share your music + music you find on Hive.
For now, we're on WAX, with tools you can use to mint your own Music/Media NFT collection.
Curious about the future of Earth + ET relations? New economic systems?
Find more apps + art from Gudasol
Want to build tools like I used to share this?
I'd love to show you some tips on AI Code generation
Dude, not cool. Generic spam comments advertising AI are not something I want to do, and not something I want to see under my posts
