Mental health in the negative.
@ElectricKeet oh my gosh so much empathy. so, so much empathy. *sends many kind warm hugthoughts*
@zebratron2084 plllleeeeeeehhhhhh nah I'll probably have like a bagel or something. XD
community, interpersonal pol
@literorrery @Jssra @memnus@octodon.social in my experience, when a situation "can't be fixed" usually really means "give it time." which is hard, sad, and difficult, and how much time is impossible to know beforehand, and sometimes it just means that eventually the spackle becomes the wall, "fixed" = "effectively forgotten." and sometimes, the amount of time needed is more than what's available...
@Siphonay@octodon.social iirc there was a ruling or something in the middle ages that when a king dies, the official heir becomes king *instantly*, regardless of how long it takes for a message that the old king died to get to them. which led to some speculation about killing kings for faster-than-light communication...
@cute_weeds rich people sushi would probably have too many diseases and parasites, so best to go for well-cooked rich people topping on pizza. *nod*
Why Blocking Ads is About Security, and Always Has Been: https://the-digital-reader.com/2018/02/05/blocking-ads-security-always/
This is spot on, and exactly why I don't disable AdBlock Plus and NoScript.
community, interpersonal pol
@Jssra @memnus@octodon.social a lot of the time, either the behavior isn't intentionally shitty, but a product of botched communications/misfiring defensive habits, in which case external bridge-building can help a lot *nods to Jssra*. if the behavior is intentionally, deliberately shitty, and the community won't do anything about it... then leaving that community is probably the best bet. :/
@chr@cybre.space want to camouflage yourself as a chunk of seaweed? and also be a dragon?
we’ve got seadragons for that too!
@chr@cybre.space weedy seadragons are a little less flashy, but they’re still great floaty boys.

@hummingrain *sends hopeful positive thoughts and much empathy*
@frameacloud @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town ikr? you could probably train me to do all kinds of wacky things for food rewards. :D
confusion about the word ego
@Finfell@dragon.style well, here's part of the problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego there's a lot of different ideas and interpretations of what ego is anyway, so... pick one you like and go with it? XD I kinda get the feeling that the concept "ego" has attracted a lot of negative connotations, but isn't inherently *bad*; in fact, it seems to be necessary to function normally in society.
