RE: Memoir Monday #18 (7/8-7/14) - What simple pleasures of life do you truly enjoy?

in #memoirmonday5 months ago

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm always looking for something new.
I enjoy a mix of genres. An excellent series to watch is After Life, a British comedy-drama with Ricky Gervais, also on Netflix. It's laugh-out-loud one minute and then tears the next.
I usually watch mystery thrillers or good stuff based on fact, but currently am on the last season of the comedy series Grace and Frankie, an oldie but very funny.
I'm sure/ I hope, Hive will pick up again. There's so much whale support for Vibes. I know they are trying to attract musicians, but in my opinion, the majority (not all) aren't here for the long run, so how sustaining is that for the blockchain?
I'm going down the coast on Monday, hoping to see some Sardine action, and that my brother and our friend catch some fish for the pan.
Have a great Saturday Eric!

You're welcome! We watched a few episodes of After Life and might revisit it after we're done watch The Bear. Grace and Franky was pretty good! I think we finished that one up during the pandemic.

I'm growing a little concerned with the direction things are going. I think, in the end, it boils down to whether content creators are earning and getting real engagement (or not) and a lot of this hinges on the price of the token. So many users are commenting now without even reading posts, fishing for comment upvotes. We've seen the exodus from the platform many times when the token has significantly dropped in value and then traffic returns when the price recovers. If I was here just for the $$ I would have left long ago. Lol. As it is now I don't think there are any exchanges left where Americans can even trade Hive. I think this is a big reason why so many of the US-based creators have left. They need to focus on getting Hive on more exchanges to increase liquidity. If we fix this then I think the platform will eventually rebalance. I hope so anyway.

That sounds like a fun Monday! I hope you enjoy it!

I was a tad put off by the foul language at the beginning of After Life, but it becomes so very humane and funny, brilliant.
It is VERY disappointing when writing and realizing many are not even reading, merely scanning or reading one sentence and then commenting hoping for an upvote!
That's so bad that they're making trading so difficult.
Let's hope that changes soon!
Looking forward to Glenmore, seeing the sunrise on the East Coast is simply stunning, and falling asleep with the sound of the ocean is the best lullaby!

Yeah Ricky Gervais can be foul mouthed! I think we need to give that one another try.

The cycles of the platform seem to play out time and time again throughout the years. I made the mistake early on to upvote comments and kind of wish I hadn't done that. I think some users even have multiple accounts and respond more than once to maximize the upvotes they get. Very frustrating but I try not to let it ruin my overall experience.

Rumors are saying that our SEC chairman will be stepping down (or be forced out) soon, he's been very anti-crypto and bad for innovation in general. Many of the best crypto projects have left the US due to unclear or overly aggressive regulations. They always say it's for "consumer protection" but we know better. ; )

That will be wonderful! I hope to see some pictures! Enjoy and safe travels to you Lizelle.
