Goofed Home

I’mma shrink the sun so I can steal it for my personal use xD

(Also no, vitamin d supplements does not work as good as sunlight)

Some dudes in the 1940’s were working on some Gadget that would do that.

They never managed to get a sustained reaction, but I hear some good work’s being done in China on that front…

Take vitamin d.

Poetry is short and simple, really releases all your emotions

(Examples: !ocpoetry@piefed.social)

Or short stories

Or sometimes I work on my memoir (which I constantly find myself procrastinating on lol) and try to paint the scene with words… and like just writing and proofreading really takes me back though the “memory-time-machine” and I feel that moment, remember the happiness of that moment.

That’s fun!

Rewriting a paper over and over is usually how I work out all my weird parts.

I use github pages for my blog and its whole point is tracking version changes. So now I’m deeply curious about what that would look like with an ever changing singular blog post. The intellectual journey wed see watching an author refine a single idea seems very interesting.

I’d genuinely read it every update that sounds like the kinda woke intellectualism I’m all about!

A paper-crafting how-to book (think of the type of thing you probably would’ve seen on the shelves at a Book Fair for an example of that) would be by far one of the simplest things you could do, and as some authors like Richard Scarry used to show, you could depict that using anthro animals of some description too.

I’ve just found out the flashing lights in my left eye won’t ever go away again.

Woo, aging and having terrible eyesight.

A tiny woman who often asks if the black belts are letting her throw them (yes, we’re being useful for learning) had just enough of the basics to start giving her more complicated details that make a big difference. It was really enjoyable seeing how much fun she was having when she felt effective.

I’ve also been sleeping so much better the past few nights. I got some bone conduction headphones so I can listen to something while sleeping without disturbing my partner or my ears getting funky from being closed off. It helps with masking her snoring and keeps my brain from being bored and seeking stimulation if I wake up in the night. They’re slightly uncomfortable and the volume doesn’t go as quiet as I’d like, but I’ll deal with that for the upsides.

Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!

Remind me of #asstodon which of course is for posting donkeys on the fediverse.

I smiled looking in the mirror at my reflection. I used to think I was ugly as a teenager. I think I look cute now. At least I know my looks aren’t the reason I’m alone.

Ok, so it’s actually good that you are noticing that part of yourself that is afraid of abandonment. That is very common with people that have a bit of a tough background. It is also possible that she had some fear of abandonment when she was a child, so she may be doing a kind of trauma-reenactment. To an extent, I understand where you’re coming from and how you feel. Sometimes when people say “Oh, I totally understand!” doesn’t really help. It sounds like you might have had a bit of a rough childhood, due to social standards, such as hiding mental disabilities. I ask you to not turn to drugs, alcohol, or sex when you’re struggling. It might feel hard. It might feel impossible. But if you ignore it, then you can’t help yourself help yourself. Hurt people hurt people, because they were hurt by hurt people. And the cycle continues. This isn’t just directed to you, but anybody that needs help and doesn’t know how to ask for it in person. A river can only flow after the storm.

Have you been rocking an old classic? Discovering something new? Revisiting some nostalgic bands from the past?

If you’ve got links, post ‘em up!

Agreed about Joyce Manor, still liking it. Hot Mulligan just released a new single recently too if they’re up your alley!

Never heard of them, but this track rules. Going to check out their catalogue now! Thanks for the recommendo! 

Hopefully it’ll change some day. But yeah, the stigma found on an institutional level is big regarding a ton of preventative medicine that would be cheaper for society as a whole if covered.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I am very carefully trying to find a space to share with people what I’m building … I don’t want to be blocked for selling things (I’m really not), but I hope to find a place to start a conversation about what an actually user friendly offering could look like.

I cannot believe that these existing offerings must be so expensive, and so enshittified. Where is the open source mentality?

Here’s a short and very incomplete list of things that could be done differently: - be priced reasonably - have one tier that includes everything - not have tons of dark patterns, anxiety traps, and addictive or just shitty behaviour - have better tools to manage the deluge of likes and messages (esp. a problem for women) - not remove features that users were happy with - not inject fake scarcity - mechanics to pause your own account, and cull inactive users - not enable mindless mass-swiping - let users filter on what’s in people’s profiles (again, without paying extra) - respect filters (eg. don’t show me people from 7000km away when I’ve set a 15km radius) - have filters be symmetrical (don’t show me smokers when I ask not to - and also don’t show me to smokers) - be radically transparent about user base, statistics, traffic, etc.

I’m still far from an alpha product and haven’t even secured a domain yet. Still laying the technical groundwork and reading research papers.

This really does sound great and I hope the best for you and those that might benefit.

Nope — I’m too hot, it’s Summer here. (South America.) My feet are slightly swollen, they always get this way when it’s too hot for too many consecutive days; I don’t feel in the mood to do anything serious; my sleep schedule went haywire; so goes on.

On the lighter side of the things I prepared some homemade strawberry ice cream and it rocks!

Lots of nightmares from my new medication, and some random panic attacks, hoping soon it settles down.

I check on my plants today. They are alive and well and don’t need more water. I promised to get the Aloe Vera a bigger pot, because a baby sprout appeared a while ago. I apologized and apologized for not having done it yet, but they just aren’t having any of it and giving me the silent treatment!

Seriously, the Aloe Vera is my baby and it moved two different places with me. The only living thing I’m capable of caring for long-term and I still fuck it up 😭

How’s your cat? :)
