oh wow a surprise - post. i'm okay but ow
@monorail tl;dr - luck shouldn't disqualify you from being honest about the way you feel about things
it's okay to feel the way you feel! really! ^^
oh wow a surprise - post. i'm okay but ow
@monorail oh, oofa
while it's true that luck can give you chances that others might not, i feel like wielding the fact that good things have happened to you as a cudgel against the idea that oppressive circumstances and regret can't be factors in your life can really be emotionally dangerous
it can reinforce the idea that good things shouldn't happen to good people, and the internalized doubt about if not getting wrecked by circumstance is justifiable
@codl this is incredible wtf
how does louie zong so consistently do this
@Leucrotta dang, i hope she finds something soon!
(also, since there's someone on there you would wanna interact with, do you think that instance would be a good thing to request federation with?)
@m455 rogers has been known to do this, for example: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/221260/how-is-my-isp-able-to-inject-into-this-webpage
@m455 another issue with no ssl on static sites is that things can be injected into them by third parties
there are a lot of isps that will happily intercept unencrypted http and inject javascript into them
splatoon 3
@cinnamon i love that weapon! it was the first weapon i could actually call my main
96 looks interesting too for kinda jet squelchy suppressing fire reasons, but i still really need to give it a fair shot
@monorail the name's bond. gold bond
@cinnamon i am, but since the new season started i might hop on in a bit and see what the shops have
it'll be nice to finally go back to the bobble hat look i've always really liked~ ^^
@cinnamon dayum
@monorail oh no
outer wilds is probably one of my favorite games of all time, but the fact you can do anything in any order really can sometimes give you some pretty unsatisfying dry spells
i'm lucky seeing the log fill out was enough for my completionist lizard-brain if i ever made a discovery later than it could have been useful--so that didn't sting as much as it could have for me specifically
@cinnamon gosh, these changes are a squiffer main's dream
@Nodocchi hell yeah! that looks great!
@inurashii oh! good luck..!
i hope you can find something that works well for you~ ^^
different things work better for different peeps, and finding what that is for you is good actually
@fasterthanlime for reals though
get that bread, yo~
just because you're doing things on your own doesn't mean you shouldn't get a living wage ^^
@ZiaMacPine oh no, despairinara
@fasterthanlime good luck finding ways to be true to yourself~
it's okay to feel confused about ourselves, since that's also a pretty wildly potent opportunity to really evaluate what is truly important to us, and to really check up on the parts of ourselves that we might be quashing
you've got this! and remember that your happiness is important too, so don't give up seeking it out..! ^^
@cinnamon that one is also Very Good
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
