Just found out my last remaining grandparent died last night, aged 100.

*wibble*

@Eve@witches.town nope, still not getting it. Is it a reference?

Debt/jobs 

@katastrophe@witches.town do you have a pay as you go mobile?

@orezpraw@social.wxcafe.net I use grsync (a GUI wrapper for rsync). I'm not sure I'd class it as "actually usable" but the simplest and most reliable thing I've found.

It also has a nonbinary character, although I don't know how much they are featured as I'm not far in.

I wish the "show replies" toggle filtered based on whether the toot starts by tagging a user, instead of based on threading.

@Firstaide for this reason I have a bunch of self-checks I do every day, and record the result in a table in my Bullet Journal (which by the way is the single greatest life hack I've discovered for ADHD related difficulties).

All/nothing thinking could be tested with a thought experiment. Then you can be like "oh right I have low mood", recognising it for what it is and that it isn't permanent. When I recognise I'm having a bad brain time I can at least refrain from making any big decisions.

@Firstaide yeah I get you.

Question: do you have black and white/all or nothing thinking only in periods of low mood, or all the time?

@Firstaide there are approaches to depression other than medication. Personally I favour self-help books. Although the real cure (for me) would be a better living situation, surrounded by many safe people.


@Firstaide "all or nothing" thinking is another way to describe "black and white" thinking. They are the same thing.

And it's not an autism thing. It's a depression thing. That said, many many autistic people are also depressed (it can be less obvious because autism tends to make things present differently).

Have you considered you might be depressed?

@cassolotl@cybre.space: wormholes are one-way.

Me: How do you know wormholes even exist?

Cassian: because you can see them, they are like a black dot because they suck all the light in.

Me: that's a black hole.

Cassian: a wormhole is when you have two black holes that are connected.

Me: I think you may be conflating science fiction with science.

Cassian: I would never.

For price of postage from the UK... (otherwise, free)

Wireless keyboard and mouse. Cherry eVolution ORCA

Unwanted because wireless has downsides, like needing to replace batteries.

It's a bit dirty, but it works. It's been packaged up and ready to send for a while.

scarcity 

@garbados the only reason that food/house/medicine was created in the first place was to make money for the owner of the means of production, from whoever needed it.

Giving it away for free would make less money.

There are some of us who would rather do everything for free, while having our other needs provided for, but it only works if a critical economic mass does it (otherwise the ones who do quickly die of poverty). In the meantime it is very difficult to make that switch.

@setavulos@cybre.space I just want to say that I love @secretgarden@botsin.space

@spiderrobotpig@witches.town here's the card draw one mtgvault.com/va9693/decks/expo

And here's an early version of the sliver deck, mtgvault.com/va9693/decks/glas which, yes, was expensive to build. So was the other one actually. This is one reason I stopped playing: the game is stacked in favour of players with money.

I'm a big fan of Dominion for this reason: deck building awesomeness, but fair. Lots about magic I miss though :)
