I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)
Meaning: try to do no harm, give love where I can, and hopefully leave the world a little better where I touched upon.
Why I keep living (bit of a TW):
My own death doesn’t really bother me, but the logic follows that one’s passing radiates pain outwards to those who are still alive. So, to minimize pain to my loved ones, especially my animals who wouldn’t know why I was gone.
Also experiencing video games.
Monster Hunter
Volunteer, hands down. Local community stuff, create something akin to a co-op public broadcasting channel, spend time with my animals, bake and donate goods.
Am I the only one who prefers face-to-face over everything else?
It’s the only form of comms where I have all the information/cues to interpret, and no bullshit lag.
In person - all cues, real time.
Text - verbal comms, gives me a chance to read. No body language or tone to glean from though.
I hate audio calls because I’m hard of hearing, sound quality is shit and I can’t lip read or respond on my own time.
Video is somehow worse since now two sensory inputs are fucked due to awful stream quality/lag and my usual methods of trying to understand what’s said are shot. Worse, people expect it to be “better” because I can see now and it makes me angrier. 🙃
As always, the best way to get kids to stop using these words is to use them yourself. Use the ancient cringe-power to disarm the youth 🦹🔥
This is how I got mine. I had just my one cat for a couple years then one day a new momma shows up on my front steps and informs me that I have a new owner.
Eventually ended up with her and two of her second litter and they’re all lazily asleep on my couch while my first girl is on my her bed and will give me stink eye if I go in before my approved bedtime.
Goats are like if someone combined domestic cats with toddlers and gave the result horns and hooves.
It takes a certain constitution to deal with them but they’re quite entertaining.
Indie game devs have always existed I see
Sibling fights summarized in 4 pictures
I come here to collect memes to share with my loved ones. Once I get ~5 at a time I stop ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I do this because all too often book print is tiny whereas I can adjust font size on a digital page.
I love physical books, but accessibility is sometimes a problem.
I’m gonna sound like a boomer but cigarettes and not using PPE, including with recreational activities such as motorcycling and hobby crafts.
Becoming a meat crayon isn’t worth “looking cool.”
Yeah lol that’s like an over-skirt/tutu sort of deal that was painted the wrong color. Should be a lighter shade of blue (according to branding, since the movie dress was originally white)
I bet they can hear a butterfly sneeze from across the neighborhood 😆
There’s an empty wheel in his head, for he ate the hamster.
The 1980s version of Time Bandits is made by the Monty Python team for a family audience!
“Digital media” is a hell of a weird way of saying “capitalism”
Not who you replied to but they could very well be in some military/government field for that to reasonably apply.
That’s fair.
I’m of the worldview that while technically there is no “meaning,” doesn’t mean there’s no effect (even if it’s infinitesimal). Just because there’s no purpose in pushing a ball across a table, it still moves when you touch it.
It also places, in philosophical framing, that humans are the creators and arbiters of the concept of our own “meaning.” The fact that we ask of it, and in some cases find there is no such thing from external forces, suggests that it comes from us. However you go from there is the beauty of the notion.
Bit of a side tangent lol but thank you for sharing and engaging :) /gen
