Want! 😿

I'm gonna watch one episode of Grimm with the help of my cats, then imma call it an early night, go to bed, and read some Camino Island. Also probably with cat help.

@art hahah like the morning I wrote myself a pomodoro script I could run in the terminal instead of actually doing any real work... and despite having a pomodoro app on my phone already

@moonman Yeah! I've gotten it twice. I was bummed the first time cuz I got no silver pinapps. :/

@moonman I have had that glitch too. It sucks. Also check to make sure activity sync hasn't turned itself off, it does that sometimes and then you won't get distance when the app is in the background.

I was feeling bad about going a little over my calorie limit yesterday and today, wondering why I was SO hungry and kind of beating myself up over my lack of self control.

*SURPRISE SHARK WEEK*

Now I am congratulating myself for my rock hard self control and the fact I have not eaten all the chocolate cupcakes I KNOW we have in the freezer.

My cat likes oatmeal.

@amolith @sean

As an alternative to MFP, I also really like Cronometer for tracking calories & weigh ins.

@sean Wow congratulations! Good job! :) :) :)

Some people use the paradox of tolerance to justify being aggressively intolerant of the slightest deviation from their preferred beliefs, ideology, or societal norms, and punish others for that deviation.

Guess what, they're the baddies

LOL

Originally (I saw in a documentary show) the point of high heels was to show off that you were so rich you didn't have to walk so you could wear ridiculous uncomfortable shoes, also originally men's fashion.

Obvs. it's best to be the kind of person in the first group, but I can't always. I know I just don't have the time, energy, or maybe the driving interest to be that guy in every community or group I touch.

If I can't be in the first group, the second is fine.

I try not to be in the third, or to support them. Those people give nothing, create nothing but drama and distraction. At least on the internet, I have a mute button. When the same names keep showing up in every drama, I know to use it.

In my experience, any group or community or collection of humans breaks down ~ thusly:

5-10% positive contributers - people who make tangible contributions, invest in & lift up and encourage/inspire others

80-90% average joes - people mostly along for the ride, maybe make small contributions or minor support, but not heavily invested (emotionally or resources)

5-10% negative contributors - people who contribute negativity and drama; if there's a spark in a dumpster they show up with petrol
