twitch.tv/madewokherd Still trying to get good enough at foot controls to get through BIT.TRIP Runner.

I'm gonna say mojeek is.. situationally useful. It's good for when I have a set of seemingly-unrelated words and I want to find a page with all of them.

@zaxusemk I do not have ADHD, but I am autistic. Best I've been able to come up with is to find something else to do (ideally taking advantage of your scattered nature to make progress or at least plans for things you don't usually get to), but that may not work depending on the situation.

Easy mode in Klonoa helps out a lot more than I expected, as I'm working with significantly less dexterity than in the past.

twitch.tv/madewokherd Just doing some casual Klonoa today.

religion/proselytism 

The Jehovah's Witness who sent me a letter never responded to my email. It's almost as if they were never interested in a conversation at all, and had no interest even in politeness once it became clear that my Quakerly ways weren't going to be convinced by some passages in a shady translation of an old book. :(

@hergaiety so far it's... generally less helpful than ddg has been

Neurospicy ramblings 

@Sophie That sounds like progress, hopefully you'll get better at the diagnosing part too.

We tend to lean on different system members for this, such as an emotional protector or someone with stronger bodily awareness.

@atinyfairy I don't think I've ever known a general search engine to do that, at best quotation marks mean searching for a specific sequence of words (regardless of punctuation).

@hollie Huh. I feel like I may have run into this problem, but I don't think I have ADHD.

Moved from google to duckduckgo years ago because google was ignoring my search terms. Now I'm moving from duckduckgo to mojeek.com/ because duckduckgo is ignoring my search terms. Haven't used it long enough to give an actual recommendation but it seems promising.

PSA

You DON'T need to have ANY of the below to be trans:

* Noticeable gender dysphoria.
* Strong dislike of your genitalia, body, voice etc.
* A desire for HRT or surgery.
* A medical diagnosis.

It's enough to feel that your gender doesn't match the one you were arbitrarily assigned at birth.

You don't need anything else to be valid :TransHeart:

@hollie Hey I really appreciate the alt text. (I tend to not like watching videos.)

thanks to chronic illness communities online for being the only way many other chronic illness patients will ever figure out what the fuck is wrong with them because the medical system sure as hell won't

The thing about painted bike lanes and flex posts is that there's a pretty big difference in user experience between places cars *shouldn't* go and places cars *can't* go.

Paint and flex posts are like rumble strips: they are designed to gently remind cars where they should go in a way that does not damage the car. This makes sense for a highway off-ramp, but it clearly falls apart when we're talking about safety for someone on the other side.

bash scripting 

I've been slowly becoming more evil ever since I learned you can have terminals in gvim.

function :e () {
gvim --remote-send '<C-W>:e '"$(realpath "$1")"'<CR>'
}

function command_not_found_handle ()
{
case "$1" in :*) gvim --remote-send '<C-W>'"$*"'<CR>'; return 0;; esac

/usr/lib/command-not-found -- "$1";
return $?;
}
