when i grow up i want to be clickbait

@Troasta nice!

@Mottie it might help to do it wherever you feel the most safe, first. then eventually branch out if it feels good. or try something else if it doesn't.

@Sir_Boops :blobuwu:

important reminder that i'm a dog

@Troasta no u

but that also makes it easier for the quality of my writing and the diversity of topics to take a dive as i ever try to please whoever's giving me gratification, rather than writing for my own reasons. hmm

still, might be better than not writing at all?

maybe i need to find some way to write where i can get quick gratification, so i can associate writing things with feeling good and accomplishing stuff

once again confronting the fact that maybe i should be practising writing in some form.

@codl idk, the phrase "i'm boned" had to come from somewhere right

@k we're responsible for our behaviours even if they're reflex. besides, who's gonna have "cw meta feature idea" in their whitelist? and if it's a blacklist instead, then it's basically the same thing as not having cws period...

@typhlosion i thought the one with the cylons was vlc

pubg is currently $18 and i'm tempted but idk if we can afford it. i'll have to see. it would be nice to not have to play it on mobile

lmao, all the servers in quake champions are full and i'm in a queue with over 1100 other players in front of me

@somarasu absolutely

i'm not gonna let people say "well you don't cater enough to people who feel guilty that they can't participate" because that's derailing the conversation and making it all about people feeling guilty instead of talking about, well, direct action.

idc about your guilt. and if you truly cared about the topics at hand, you'd see that your guilt has no place being a topic of concern alongside atrocities like concentration camps.

so long as there are people homeless and dying, people being abused and incarcerated and deported and hurt/killed, we can afford to get over our discomfort and find some form of direct action to take.

either that, or we can afford to live with the guilt of not helping. guilt is a good motivator to suck up our pride and discomfort and take action even when we're feeling down. even when we're upset that life didn't deal us a perfect hand of cards.

@Nerdcoresteve people keep trying to hijack this call for direct action as a way to quell their guilty feelings about wanting to sit around and do nothing because life didn't deal them a perfect hand. they're making it all about them when it has nothing to do with them.

guilt is a powerful tool for motivating those that insist that they can't do anything when they clearly can, the truth is that they just don't like the risks/think it's too much work.

@Nerdcoresteve white people especially are always looking to patch their guilt, have someone tell them they're doing enough when they're not doing anything but trying to dodge the responsibility.

and believe me, a lot of people see these long posts about "hey, whatever you do is enough" and get comfortable with doing nothing

the hard truth is that nothing is ever "enough", we gotta keep doing as much as we can until things are ideal.
