@caymanwent@snouts.online An idiot? More like adorable!

@TGRCDev@hellsite.site Gonna put my vote behind Linux Mint. If you've got an older computer, I'd go for the MATE edition. It's faster, but a little less feature-rich and less nice-looking than the Cinnamon edition. Otherwise, Cinnamon isn't bad. I personally prefer MATE, but, honestly, both are pretty easy to get started with and both are pretty good, so just choose whichever you think looks better to you.

Not got much to say other than I feel "ban cars" and the subsequent backlash shows the need for us to not try to compress politics down into as small a soundbite as possible. Like, I doubt anyone saying "ban car" wants all cars gone tomorrow without properly implementing public transportation everywhere. But, the nature of politics today is to have compressible soundbites, so even "ban cars *after we get good public transport*" is too much to say.

Aw, shit. I complete forgot that yesterday marked 2 months since the last time I self harmed. It's honestly a little hard to believe that I've managed to make it this far on my own. The only other time I came close was when I had a roommate. I didn't figure I'd be able to stop without the fear of someone walking in and finding out, but lo and behold, here we are. I'm proud of me. This is an accomplishment, and I should celebrate it!

...Unfortunately, I'm broke.

A bunch of white guys moved here then kept getting pissed about blacks getting equal rights (or even "status as more than just chattel")

A bunch of white dudes moved to Mexico, then got pissed when Mexico's laws changed forbidding them from owning slaves, so, rather than moving back from whence they came, they stole a good chunk of Mexico and later decided to join the US, where they'd later get pissed about the US doing the same thing.

@Breakfast Depending on how much trouble you're willing to deal with, you can get some pretty good android phones (I know Nokia makes some decent phones, as do Oneplus) or you could find a older phone with decent ROM support. I've heard good things about the Nexus 6 and 6P, and you might have luck with the smaller siblings the 5 and 5X (though, those can be spotty). Honestly, if you just want an android phone, though, Nokia or Oneplus, I'd say.

@pixelpaperyarn Fair enough. There is a kinda fine line between people with the kinda concerns I though you were referencing and explicitly being tied to work in a way that kinda seems to be screaming codependency, and what you seem to be actually referencing definitely falls into that latter camp and that is quite concerning.

@pixelpaperyarn So, just to give you some context on this, one of this big things that was repeatedly stressed when I was in partial hospitalization recently was that we needed have some structure once we left. Completely unstructured time can be a contributor to depression, as it was with me. Your advice is sound, but it IS reasonable to be anxious about having unstructured time off.

Turns out, blocking someone on FurAffinity doesn't stop their art from showing up on the front page. Good job!

You had *ONE JOB* and you completely fucked it.

*Grumble grumble* why do i even bother with this site anymore *Grumble grumble*

Gotta say, I kinda like ebay sellers who don't actually understand what they're saying and are kinda just putting keyword spam in. They're amusing. Like with the "Military 1W 532nm Green Laser Pointer" I found. Do they realize that 1W puts it at being firmly a class 4 laser that *ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A LASER POINTER*? No. No, they do not.

(And, ofc, going by the reviews (and some "common sense"), it's not even a 1W laser. My guess? Maybe low power class 3B (~5-25mW) *at best*)
