I did the same thing the other day when I saw “winedlloverrides” (for the program Wine if that helps).

Because discord uses the word differently than the rest of the world. Convenient.

Ditto!

Fun and Interesting ads are actually the worst ones, because they get you to associate pleasant feelings with their product/service/brand, which dilutes your ability to make rational, objective choices about them. That’s one of the ways that they are manipulating you.

My suspicion is that it’s not so much age as the cumulative effects of cptsd. Life in this world just keeps grinding most of us down.

Looks good, but missing Friendica.

I wonder if this counts: I don’t like the look of some things because my mind instantly imagines how it would feel, so if I wouldn’t like the texture, I don’t like looking at it because it gives me the same unpleasant feeling. Sounds like a synesthesia.

Me too. I didn’t know that skin cremes could make dragons. 😲

😛

Going to see a doctor in an hour to see if they will be my regular/“family” doctor. Here’s hoping that they are neuro-affirming because getting diagnosed is an important conversation I need to have right now. 🤞

(And of course it’s the coldest day of the week (-20/-25 c) and I have to walk there. 🥶)

I learned to embrace my weird in my teens. Of course, it’s a lot easier when you have others to be weird with, and I was very lucky with that back then. Lately, I haven’t been as lucky.

I wouldn’t know how to get this going, but I very much enjoyed reading it and your comments and think that it looks like a great project. 👍

(I mean, as a fellow autist I might be able to hyperfocus on it for a while, but I’m sure that the ADHD would keep me from finishing to go work on something else. 🙃)

I haven’t because I don’t know if there is even a point, since afaik they don’t actually delete anything, they just keep you from accessing it, and keep adding to it anything other people post about you.

Sunday is ttrpg day for me. Today I’m running Vampire: The Masquerade (V20/V5 + house rules hybrid I call V25; also apropos since the game started in Jan 2025). In the wake of last game’s politcal/economic problems (that’s right, I managed to inject economics into my vampire game, and in a way that is not as boring as it may sound), today the group will be discovering more about the (literally) dark secrets held by the NPC member of their group.

I left my reporting for government assistance until just a few days ago. They prefer to have it by mid-month. ED is a bitch.

Let’s see…

Navigating the local health care system to try and get a regular “family” doctor. Today’s e-mail tells me I have to walk in to get this started. It didn’t actually confirm that they had any doctors accepting new patients right now. 🙄

Trying to work up the nerve to contact therapists for various types of help. I have found two possibilities, but something is holding me back that I don’t understand.

Learning to play Spacebourne 1 to see if I want to buy #2 before it goes off sale in a few days. Not sleeping well so I’ve spent more time playing old save games of Deus Ex instead.

And no plans for NYs. Not enough friends or money.

Runaway as well, but without the mall.

“You are illegally parked on private property. You have twenty seconds to move your vehicle.” -ED-209

Dual booted for the longest time, until sometime last year. Windows partition is still there, but it’s been long enough that I’ve forgotten the password. 😳

🙂 👋

Weird, the link works for me. :/

Oh, I’ve certainly thought of alternate time-lines. Aspiring writer here. Trying to turn one of them into a novel (well, novel series lol), but you know, ADHD. So I could certainly talk at length about that.

Thanks. I’ve tried getting help. What few have accepted never seemed to have the time, or else they had too much trouble with the wiki paradigm? Idk. It’s been a struggle. Which is too bad since I tend to work better (i.e. more often) when others are involved.

Audhd here, so way too many interests to list (short list here: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Murdoc). But my biggest long-standing one is called Technocracy. Not how the word gets used most of the time today, but rather the proposed sustainable and post-scarcity economic system devised in the 1920s. Not only is it just interesting from being a novel and well-designed system, but it deals with so many important issues like poverty, environmentalism, sexism, racism, crime, and all in an objective, hard scientific way (i.e. not “political science”). All that science and progressivism (from 100 years ago too!) just delights my autistic brain no end. Here’s my attempt to make the topic more accessible to the modern audience: https://technate.org/tiki-index.php
