goldfish [they/them]

weird online activism where people sit in their caves and scream at the shadows in front of them

It does get overwhelming when there are so many angry people on the internet having intense arguments about relatively trivial things and it seems like everything is bad, harmful, or offensive from some angle to someone. I basically try to not take everything on the internet personally. If there’s someone online hating on e.g. a tv show that I like, I’m free to just disagree and keep enjoying it. If I’m not judging people for trivial things, then I don’t have to worry about other people judging me for trivial things. I mean they might still judge but I don’t have to care.

wonder how big a deal the ⭐ → ❤️ thing will be. people were attached to the stars on old Twitter too. hopefully they can eventually come around to full emoji reactions like Misskey etc.

hmm yeah if all your tests are normal, it could be more of a circulation issue - Qigong exercises are really good for that - it’s really easy and even 10 minutes feels great! (note: this is NOT related to the religious cult Falun Gong)

I’ve always been a really “cold” person and I recently found out that was hypothyroidism, so just spreading the word you’re not actually supposed to be freezing all the time and if you are maybe get your thyroid checked

yeah, I know there is more to it, but doesn’t it still ultimately boil down to that? even if “we” is small communities rather than individuals

It seems like anarchism is the trendy replacement for capitalism these days. It fits better with the Western ideal of individualism. And I get it, it would be great if we could all just do whatever we want and not have anyone tell us what to do, but it’s not practical. Like government is gonna be around for the foreseeable future and insisting on anarchism kinda prevents working on a better government

yeah, I don’t like sex scenes either but I’m not really sure why. maybe because it doesn’t seem relatable. it also kinda seems like a cheap gimmick to maintain the audience’s interest, like putting corn syrup in food for no reason. I did once see someone saying that younger people may be jaded from there being so much porn on the internet, and negatively associate movie sex scenes with that, which also makes sense to me.

having lived in rural maine, yes the nature was beautiful but socially it was pretty depressing and impoverished, but not a lot happens there so an 80-person mass shooting - I’m both really surprised and not very surprised at the same time :/

there was one good game… LarryBoy GBA review
