so this happened last night

sorry the account got deleted and i have no spoons to type out the messages

LB: holy fuck i'm impressed by Rüm's coherent answers sometimes

so i've been attracted to the idea of borg since the first time i saw them,
specifically to what i perceived to be their philosophy and aesthetics, and to what i (in my headcanon) extrapolated from there

any recommendations for free reads on productivity that aren't your typical allistic capitalism supporting corporate boomer bullshit (you know the type)?

i'm interested in substantiated data and strategies, not just something to make me feel good

ideally something that's relevant to those who see value in contributing to society (ie not the Get Rich and Successful fuckers)

being cognisant of privilege, marginalised populations, neurodiversity etc would be cool too

as an immigrant to the UK who never really cared to learn to speak like a native, i'm sometimes asked "where are you from?"

and recently i started answering with "Poland, you?", which seems to put people off guard?

and then i ask them more questions, of the kind i would normally be asked myself, like "oh, so you've been living here your whole life?"

which usually leads to a nice small talk but also normalises the idea of us being equals instead of you being my fucking host

"Keep Europe for Europeans." - Dalai Lama

yes, very inspirational take 👍

now can we please move beyond putting spiritual leaders on pedestals

they're randos with views as bad as anyone else

this was long overdue

disclaimer: i have no problem with anyone using labels they find useful and are entitled to - i want to explain my choices, not prescribe them; this will be impassionate and full of strong opinions; if you're a mental health professional, this may offend you; if you respond with bullshit, be prepared to be made an example of

personally i avoid using psychopathological labels, and prefer to describe my challenges explicitly instead

.

i feel like i'm feeling bullied by a fucking piece of software

no, *you* adapt to *my* layout asshole https://computerfairi.es/media/OeNK6HfDKsvM6DSFGjQ

@MegaLobsterFace i didn't know what the big deal was, thanks for raising awareness
