My emotional health problems hurt people close to me and I don't know how to make them just not be a problem

Idle thought:
Cyberpunk narratives that paint body-modification as a negative thing because of "loss of humanity", are subtly transphobic because they associate essence with the physical body. That to modify the body is to negatively modify the mind.
It also presumes that to become less human is to also become less empathetic, whereas a person should be allowed to be non-human, or maybe even not a "person", without losing empathy and sapience.

The fire alarms went off for a fraction of a second last night. This interacts very poorly with how I respond to sudden loud noises. x..x
I am likely to be frazzled for the next two or three days as a result. I know it isn't a reasonable or proportional response, I have a phobia and it sucks.

@Sangria This... is surprisingly fun!
Just won my first 50 v 50... got one shotgun kill from behind as they were building a base!
political argument
@rosa@cybre.space communism is based on centralized organization of a society; Palantir fits neatly into such a plan
Palantir corporation is geniuinely evil. Why can't I find organized opposition to its existence?
@Gargron you should become a brain in a jar and then you won’t have that problem anymore
You could be a mouse, keyboard, and monitor over USB-C so you’d only need enough robotics to plug one cable into a laptop these days

@Soreth I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!
Deleting social media apps from my phone is scary until the moment the icon disappears and then I suddenly feel peaceful

That point of design work where you've got it good but you have to check if it looks like ass on mobile
@Jacel I’m sorry it didn’t work out this time. You’ll find something worth your while; you’ve developed impressive skill and you’ll find a company capable of identifying and using it.
@KawaSeadrake If you prefer paper to computers for this, I still have a comical oversupply of decent paper notebooks and I am more than willing to share. Also pens.
@Gargron free as in beer vs. free as in speech vs. free as in that one old guy in Seattle who dances with scarves all day and intermittently gets arrested for public nudity

People who interact with me regularly adapt to me and I don’t think it’s very healthy for them
I’m not good enough at shaking off the feeling of not being good enough at things

The specifications of the ideal web development workstation:
* 1.0 GHz VIA C7, C7-M ULV, Eden (the Esther core one), or Eden ULV
* VIA CN896, VX800/VX800U, or VX855 chipset
* 1 GiB RAM
* 4200 RPM mechanical HDD
* 800x600 display
* 56k modem
It has SSE2, so it'll run every current browser that runs on generic hardware. It has PAE with NX bit, so it'll run current versions of Windows. The integrated graphics is DX9 with WDDM 1.1 drivers, even exceeding Windows 10's minimums.
