I’m really tired and looking forward to three weeks of Xmas vacation. Just 1 week to go. :)

I live in Sweden and it’s so dark here. The lack of light this time of year is a bit draining. Sun goes down at like 3pm.

They make a nice couple. Orange lizard team.

They just can’t help themselves.

Bluesky looks like old Twitter and was even “created” by the former head of Twitter.

It’s not surprising such a guy knows how to succeed.

Lemmy could use a face-lift, sure, but since Lemmy is largely centralized now with Lemmy.world, I’m not sure I care so much about it. It was more fun when Lemmy was started and we had a dream of an distributed network of interesting instances. That didn’t happen and like-minded instances shut off federation with the others.

It’s like children in a sandbox. “That guy said this, I will tell on the teacher”.

They have been fighting for how many hundreds of years? Don’t think this is new. :)

This is what happens when you make a good game. Luxary problems. :)

There are happy people in the world. Just not on social media so much talking about how they feel. Because they are fine.

It’s not hard to be a good driver. You can even drive fast. Just blink several seconds before you change lanes, keep a lot of space between you and the car in front, and just don’t surprise other drivers in any way.

This includes not breaking hard unless you have to (only when you fail to have enough space in front of you to brake smoothly).

Yes, often people need to learn through pain how to be a good person. It can be someone who bullied others in school and later realized how much pain they caused and feel severely ashamed by it.

I don’t know about the concept of pure, I don’t think in those terms myself. But we should aspire to make a positive difference in this world. Every time you meet a person, you affect how he or she feels.

A colleague of mine got tinnitus after a concert when he was a teen, and its been a life long torture. He is now 37 and the ringing never stops, ever.

It’s affecting his entire life. He has to wear noise protection when out in public, to prevent any loud noises, which makes him not hear what people are saying. Dating is hard, girls thinks he is not listening when he can’t hear them. People stop having conversations with him. It’s quite hard emotionally.

Be very careful to even risk this.

I don’t like being attracted to so many girls. Life would be easier if I could just stop seeing them as sexual when I wanted to. Its actually annoying how a girl can take over an entire scene by just showing up. Ridiculous.

Many people with depression are helped by ayahusca retreats, but if you feel like a total wreck, it may not be the right choice. Ayahuasca let’s you work on yourself through facing your fears.

You can search YouTube for “ayahuasca experience” and see if it may be something for you. If not, I hope you find some other solution. Depression is hell.

That makes sense. Never experienced anything like that in my life. Always had enough money.

Money is the entire system of control and power. But we forget it’s not real, unlike air, water and food. Humans came up with money and humans can remove it too.

Not saying we should go back to bartering. Someone more educated than me would have to come up with alternatives that doesn’t cause misery and pain to the human race.

Can’t quite get over why he did this as if it was a computer game and it would have no consequences.

The guy is supposed to be smarter than average too. Has iq levels dropped severely?

That’s nothing compared to good looks. Opens literally all doors in life. Secret cheat code.

It’s a good attitude to have, to focus on what you have.

I read a book about a holocaust survivor and how little life was worth in the camps. Now I feel genuinely grateful for a warm bed and no wars around here.

Seems very much not real. :)

Yep getting smashed a lot now. Will have to switch some skills around and try to improve.

Yeah I’m playing poe 2 now. Too early to say something but it hasn’t been too difficult for me yet. But I got a legendary coat from the first boss which is still good even at level 6. Probably why. :)

Scared of change? This is not just change - we have never had social media algorithms putting shit into people’s head about themselves and others, all day, every single day.

This shit is affecting people’s entire perception of the world and who they are. It’s not just some random change.

I haven’t forgotten being a kid. But when I was growing up, the so called dangers were computer games and too much TV. That was nothing compared to weaponized algorithms picking content that will “engage” people (make them react).

Some kids today are completely out there with pluto man. They just lost any sense of reality. Their entire perception of the world is from social media algorithms from tech companies. That’s one scary thought.

Sure it’s funny with “old man yelling at the cloud”, but there is something here to be concerned about.
