That is a good indicator. And I believe you. Was just thinking about how we are like crows after shiny things, when the bw is just as good. I might notice the post easier, I guess. But quality shows, you have that down.

Do most people prefer color? For me bw is more realistic for fantasy where they aren't in modern times, at least. Even if they wouldn't have maps that amazing in game. I love both These are amazing.

If you appreciate things and people more, you also find them easier, as you're not ignoring what might turn out to work.

Is it hard to get approved to write stories within Dnd and VTM etc? I think I prefer my own set up, but it would be good fun.

Couple minutes on the bad app and I'm battling stress again. It was so relaxing with my dog visiting yesterday, I gotta breath deep and try to get back to that mood. I really don't want my stress pain issues back. The world feels so unjust. Let's make it better. I'm here for #disabilityjustice

He mentioned the genocide as one of his achievements. He called it talking with Netanyahu, but same thing. They underestimated the backlash from this, as if people just all ignore it like nothing.

I get stuff done on computer, because it's physically simpler. But getting chores done or leaving the house is hard. I'm sorry you experience frustrating symptoms, too. Ty so much for your sweet replies.

Thank you. This is an excellent trend. Our dog visited today, and I'm so relaxed thanks to her company. She didn't seem to want to leave, either. No box, but she often gets tangled around table legs etc.

It's how I was coping with pain before I got a working set of meds in right doses. I had several different reasons for it, too. Im now fatigued daily, but not hurting, which is a lucky thing. But also means I can't work. Anyway, I often was like ouuuuuuch pain, haha this is so absurd.

I once had my shoulders pop at 3am when I was lifting game boxes from a high shelf, and my arms got stuck up for a while. Neighbours must have loved the loud bang of the games hitting the floor. Luckily it was a one time issue. Now it's funny, because of the time.

Hey, all
A member of the family was a victim of a h*micide just recently, and a donation link was started up for his services by his son. If anyone has anything to spare, please head over to his page: gofund.me/e96e52ce

Biggest abuser tools are gaslighting and pretending. We don't know. That's the point.

I'm really sorry this is the reality for so many. I'd leave it for a safer time, if you can. There will always be victim blaming, but are support groups any good?

I have been trying to think of ways to support legacies of artists after they pass, because I know so many people who are immensely talented, & in my group or friends, the temporary nature of life comes up a lot. This is a really great way to do it.

I will check on people, and look in a little, but gotta avoid the stress, it can get painful for me. (Stomach pain at alarming levels). Thanks for your comment. Please take good care, too.

I should probably avoid social media. The way the world is burning, it's only a matter of time my depression blows up, again. I don't mean stop caring or doing what I can. But the onslaught is quite heavy.

This is fachism. The amount of people needing help, because their government is not taking care of them, is alarming. What is a country for if not for it's people?

I have been feeling really guilty, I didn't know, that 30% of queer people in Finland have experienced a form of Conversion therapy. I do not have numbers on the types, though. It's disgusting. Finland is a disgrace.

I would say overcoming challenges makes a person more intelligent. While society often treats different learners poorly.

Today I realised, I want to make art videos and music. I have no bandwidth for learning music softwares beyond very basics, so it will likely be the two things mushed together for my own, and maybe five other people's entertainment. But felt good to realise this. Also, I want to start dancing.

Found Cowboy Bepop finally, and gotta say, it has been as good as I expected, so far. Yeah, some things aren't right like weird close ups on boobs. Anyway, glad I found it. And glad some of us have moved on from chauvinist timelines. The music is really inspiring.

Can do that with online friends sometimes in a game, but the physical presence somehow calms me. I don't miss having roommates, but maybe just lazy friend visits.

Was with family for Midsummer yesterday, and was able to just hang out a lot, listening to my show with ear plugs on while dog was napping or one of my family was watching something next to me. I always have dreams after where I try to get people to do that. It's what I miss having the most.

Why are some protesters attacking cultural heritage and not the problematic things such as corporations, polluters, celebrity culture, tourism industry (rather than the sacred sites!) Is media focusing on the bad stuff only? The effect is negative. Nobody goes "wow, I will change" this way.

No, I don’t want to ‘check’ my writing with an AI tool which will demand I randomly ditch every passive. No, I don’t want AI to organise my work day. And no, I certainly don’t want a job making AI ‘safer and more accurate’. The best way to make things more accurate and safer is SABOTAGING that shit.

> marvels they explain in some way. But I don't want to annoy people with my lack of understanding. I had depression issues and focusing on anything STEM related was impossible. Then I got help at 32, but have been dealing with overpowering fatigue. I'm 47. But I know philosophy, psychology etc. 🤷

I think I explained things wrong, as nobody replied, when I asked, whether someone like me who has no STEM knowledge can write scifi. I'm wondering, whether Iim thinking of the wrong genre? Is it futuristic fantasy or something? I mean even scifi books focused on romance seem to have some technical>
