  • i think that people make judgements and act upon those judgements based on a category or type that’s familiar to them and i also think that’s goes at least doubly so for anyone that has to serve the public for their livelihoods.

    people see me as a type when i put no effort in and i didn’t realize that until i got my neuro divergence assessment results and fully embraced the “fakeness” that my social butterfly mother taught me as a child.

    i resisted it for decades because i also felt like the doctors were just chasing a paycheck and the proctors where just going through the motions and i regret the years i wasted the despite bad experiences with several of doctors & proctors.

    i’ve since learned that no one has your best interests at heart except maybe family or friends. it’s very cliche and it’s very true and i hate that i have to forge and create my own world despite that knowledge underpinning it.

    i hope you figure it out something that works for you; it sounds like you’re in a bad place rn based on your posts and i think that this is the only way i can help.







  • i bought a linux laptop a few years ago from a linux company to take advantage of things like coreboot and it’s had a dramatic impact compared to my windows laptops onto which i installed linux.

    i’m in the initial stages of creating a new daily driver and i want to consider compatibility with other projects like this to help me re-acclimate to the general public’s linux user experience, so thanks for sharing and your guess; responses like this are really helpful in getting me back into this groove.

    i used to live in texas and every time i both didn’t qualify for mail in voting and the hours long wait at the ballot place turned me away despite my best efforts. (i wish that portable personal urinals with privacy and dinner delivery to polling places with garbage cleanup were things).

    i live in an affluent area of a blue state now like i used to and i plan on voting since i know i’ll be in and out in less than 5 minutes like i was in the past.

    i’m going to vote third party to show that i’m not onboard w a genocide committed by the same system & people that genocided my ancestors out of existence in this country.

    I think it’s a format that can make sense especially if there’s a broad range of specific communities around a central topic…

    I think that’s how lemmy got started: It’s like reddit’s leftist subs like r/communism; r/socialism & r/anarchy created the lemmyverse and the idealogical clash with reddit’s refugee & moonlighting users seems to induce centralization for those users into a few heavily centralized instances that cannibalizes smaller instances that were created to be alternatives to the ones made by leftists; hence the deactivation of instances like lemmy.film and the multitudes of mostly inactive duplicate communities.


  • I’ve left jobs before because the description and the interviews made it seem fascinating; but I mastered the stack in a couple weeks and became VERY bored.

    Somehow; the less savvy the interviewers are the more interesting the work is and its usually bad more often than good; but when it’s good It’s fantastic and with usually mediocre pay.

    Also it’s somehow always a mixed bag when the interviewers are more experienced than I because you would think that it would be great, but it’s never as good as the previous category; decent but not good. But they usually pay the most so that mostly makes up for it.

    Probably not, but at least olive oil doesn’t cause climate change and can be grown in most places w horticultural technological assistance instead of concentrated patches with future genocide survivors living above them.
