sad
i want to make new friends and be better friends but i dont know how and dont want to come off as desperate or bother people too much and i probably dont need any more friends anyway and so i dont even try
sad
amazing how much profound misery i paper over with social interaction
i'm tired and lonely and sad all the time these days. i can barely get out of bed in the morning. i feel worthless, and more worthless when my broken brain can't focus on my creative passions
all of that mostly goes away when friends are online but it's still there in the background. no wonder i'm obsessed with getting to know people
im sorry for making you all my unhealthy coping mechanism. i dont know what else to do
whining
i guess i should have clarified. i meant this as: for some given someone (i can think of a couple examples) that i would like to be friends with, i want to learn how to either go about doing that or accept that it won't happen
After a few day's discussion (my sense of time is fucked), I definitely feel like the consensus is:
* We need to look at the bigger picture
* We need to just create better, across the board, anti-harassment features and privacy settings.
* We need to look at long-term concerns, vs short-term gains.
I think it's time we start breaking it down in a bigger shared space. Anyone up for that? This invite is to all fediverse

the same site that served me ads for scale model cars earlier is now serving me ads for... fire trucks
like, real ones, for actual firefighting
this one has a 100'... aerial ladder, i guess? and a 1500 gallon-per-minute water pump. the website offers a button labeled "help with financing"
i would like to meet the person the ad algorithm thinks i am. they seem way more interesting than me
pinkwashing, rainbow capitalism, human rights campaign = not fit for purpose
These 9 Pride-celebrating companies donated millions to anti-gay Congress members. The HRC gave these companies a perfect 100 score. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/06/9-pride-celebrating-companies-donated-millions-anti-gay-congress-members/
no pride in corporations, no corporations in pride
Hey folks,

For everyone interested, I'm gonna share the jist here and why we think he is right.
