  • Ohey, that’s better than I’d expected. Kinda cried a lot during the attachment style descriptions part. Good to know a bunch of people think I’m an evil monster who likes hurting people :3

    Now when immediate-ancestors cause unhealthy attachment styles because of their unwellnesses, what do? I’m still really salty about how much of my life I’ve lost 'cause there was neither fairness nor proper care in my early life. Almost died (arguably several times) because She Who Must Never Be Questioned couldn’t handle the thought of anyone else “helping” me. Ungood situation. Plus ungood! Can barely-if-at-all attach any more and it only gets worse.

    Two+ decades with little to no recourse or support in case of bad parenting seems like a bad way. Some (many?) won’t even know how to spot problems, then it’s like “Okay but they were having their own problems too” “Okay so what was I supposed to do? And what do I do now, living in somebody’s attic halfway across the country hoping I can get medicaid sorted out and get some kind of care ever and everything’s worse because my beginning gave me problems instead of solutions” :-\

    … I’m just whinging into the wind I guess. Hard to not blame, I guess is what I’m saying. Need more help going around, and the armchair psychologists labelling and broad-brushing categories of people aren’t helping, I think. wobbles, having confused itself; flops over, has a nap






  • Cold and lonely. Ran out of my main anti-hypertensive+anti-anxiety med, now there’s nothing keeping my blood pressure high (as opposed to extremely high) unless I can smoke enough weed to do that. I don’t really like it enough to try very hard 🤷 Had some kinda emotional crash thing last night, figured out I’m afraid to exist. Especially without an easy way out it feels like a terrifying commitment I’m not ready for. Sounds odd I guess but I don’t pretend to be okay 🤷

    Also, Minnesota’s medicaid stuff is ass-garbage. Just gimme a website where I can poke the buttons and get everything done instantly. Oklahoma managed it. Somehow here it takes months and a bunch of bullshit snail mail and phone calls and I still don’t have it fully set up (prescription coverage fuckingplease?!?) Grrrr!

    Did I mention “cold and lonely?” Dunno if I’m even capable of feeling close to anycritter any more but bleeeh it hurts to not have anycritter I feel like I can yap at.

    Anyway, back to days of daze. sarcastic “Wheee”






  • Finally, my chance to say…

    I use Arch, by the way :D

    …Also, I tried Ubuntu and Mint and Fedora and some others (ages ago). Didn’t like feeling like everything I wanted to do was stepping on the toes of some software that was trying to manage it for me, but not how I wanted or I just didn’t want it managed for me.

    I tend to alternate between Arch and Gentoo every few years. Sometimes Arch feels like it’s making assumptions and doing things its way more than I want, but then Gentoo takes ages to install or update anything, is a bit more fiddly. I’ll probably go back or maybe try out Funtoo again but for now I don’t have a CPU that won’t melt if I try to compile things (laptop-only booooo v.v!!) sooo Arch for now. :3 🤷




  • spoiler

    The article states that Sonny “grooms” Marie to be a housewife but she’s clearly written to want to be. There’s a difference between “look, these games are gross because you the player/player character coerce some poor girl into slaving away at home cooking and cleaning and raising kids for you” and “look, these games are gross because the writers made a character wanna be a tradwife with a job.”

    I had other stuff written but apparently didn’t post any of that. Bleh. Tired now, not gonna agree (nor stop getting silently downvoted, gotta love that) anyway. Off I go ö/




  • [Sarcastic ‘translation’] tl;dr: A lot of people who are relatively well-placed to understand how much technology is involved even in downvoting this post are downvoting this post because they’re afraid of technology!

    Just more fad-worshipping foolishness, drooling over a buzzword and upset that others call it what it is. I want it to be over but I’m sure whatever comes next will be just as infuriating. Oh no, now our cursors all have to change according to built-in (to the cursor, somehow, for some reason) software that tracks our sleep patterns! All of our cursors will be obsolete (?!??) unless they can scalably synergize with the business logic core to our something or other 😴
