Correction. You’re just one glorpdelorp

Because I’m a dirty commie who believes in the adage “give a brick, get a house”.

Something that is built by a community will always survive longer than a corporate profit-motive alternative.

If one instance turns to crap, there will always be others to fill the gap. It’s the same reason most FOSS software exists, because the community wants it too. As long as there are people that are enthusiastic about something, they’ll keep it around as long as they have the tools to do so (source code). That is the ultimate power of Federation and of FOSS in general; it was built by humans, for humans for motives that are separate from profit.

If Gimp went away tomorrow, someone would fork it the very next day because they want to keep using it. If a Fediverse instance gets filled with nazis tomorrow, someone will create a new instance the very next day and people will move to that and then defederate from the hateful one.

I firmly believe that if humanity is to have a future, this is the way that it has to be, and I’m going to champion that mentality everywhere I can.

If there’s ever a link I will never press…

I’m generally a pretty stoic guy. I don’t get “creeped out” by much. But there are two things that never fail to invoke a creepy unsettling feeling in me.

1. A toddler skull with all of their teeth. Shit’s just terrifying even though I know it’s natural.
2. There’s an old black and white clip of an eyeball being sliced into with a straight razor that just makes me shudder every time.

It would enable him to start fucking his daughter, or Laura Loomer.

Marriage has never stopped him before. I wouldn’t expect it would now.

TFW high priced business lawyers walk in and tell little worm eaten idiots what happens if they don’t walk back their stupid claims.

You aren’t helping anything

As opposed to what? Hoping shit just works out for the best if you just click your heels together and wish hard enough?

Grow up. This is the real world. You’re literally watching your country’s constitution be shit on and you can’t even be bothered to care as long as the corporate oligarchs keep you sedated with your shiny toys and your marvel movies.

I guarantee you that anyone who themselves came from a dictatorship or had parents who came from a dictatorship (like my parents) is shaking their fucking heads at how idiotic your pacifist “trust the polls” attitude is, as though Trump hasn’t already got his people running every single part of the election apparatus.

He’s literally already had the hats made…

JFC Americans take the phrase “burying their heads in the sand” to some astonishly crazy levels.

X-Com and X-Com 2 Long War mods. Essentially the games at their full potential.

That reminds me, It’s almost time for another playthrough i think.

Humiliation requires a sense of shame. Which does not exist in Trump’s world.

What’s her pet situation? It’s going to be hard to top Sioda and Brod. But it’s the most important question.

What’s important to understand is that Depression isn’t “sadness”. It a dead feeling.

It’s not a dead feeling because of anything particularly bad happening. But it is a dead feeling that isn’t fixed by pills. But pills are, in some cases, a requirement for even being able to start trying to fix yourself.

Your brain has two positive reinforcement tools, Seratonin and Dopamine. Both of those work together. Dopamine affects how we respond to things, both good and bad. Seratonin affects mood, motivation, energy levels.

So when we say that “Depression isn’t sadness”, for example, we mean that we lack the dopamine to even think about things in terms of good or bad. They just…don’t…matter.

That leads to a kind of spiral. Things kind of fall apart when they just don’t matter to you. And as things fall apart, you start to feel like a failure and a piece of shit because things are spiraling, which just adds to the lack of dopamine and it keeps going down and down and down until you’re body is quite literally just not capable of producing those two chemicals naturally. They kind of forget how.

As cliche as it sounds, both Seratonin and Dopamine are boosted by “thinking good thoughts”. And I know that that sounds like bullshit, but it’s true. That’s why the fix (there is no cure) for depression is C.B.T (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). It’s things like, keeping a negative thought challenge notebook, where whenever you have a negative thought, you write it down and you challenge it; actively asking yourself why you think that. If something good happens, but you always think “Oh this isn’t going to last”, you ask yourself things like “why do I think that?” and “What are the other possible outcomes”. Or writing down “three good things that happened to you that day”, for example. Cheesy things that your depressed and negative mind is likely to dismiss as “hippie bullshit”, but they work.

CBT is also about making habits. As things fall apart, as things don’t matter, dishes might not get done. Lawns may not get mowed. work might suffer because of lack of focus. And you wake up every morning and all of those things not being done, just make you feel like more of a piece of shit and drop the spiral further. And so you say “Okay…I’m never going to go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink. I’m going to walk my dog every morning. etc…” Small things. All of those things slowly but surely start to build the Seratonin back in your system, and the Dopamine starts regulating properly again. Thinking good thoughts, having a sense of pride and accomplishment, having fun…all of these things are what create your Seratonin and Dopamine.

But the kicker is, that when things have *not mattered" for such a long time. When you’ve lacked any of those things for such a long time, even starting to practice CBT sounds like utter bullshit. It’s cheesy at best. Worthless and pointless at worst. And so the drugs are there to act as sort of a tow truck that you call in to give your battery a boost so that you even have the motivation to start down the path of actually “battling”.

This Blog Post is what finally made me realize that I was indeed depressed, after denying it for many many years. I consider it a must read, not only for people to understand depression, but to understand me.

Intro narration to Fallout 4.

War. War never changes.

Cops. Without a doubt. Its the career path for highschool bullies who want authority and respect, but are too stupid to become doctors or lawyers, so they pick up a badge and a gun as a shortcut to “respect by implied threat”

I don’t really keep up, but is that Dr. Disrespect guy still considered a pedo pariah?

If it’s Costco went does your cat have the same facial expression as a typical Walmart greeter?

“Welcome to Costco. Now fuck off.”

I prefer Mormons. They have better porn

Five little mormons jumping on a bed?

Animal for sure. But also really the entire band.

Although a large part of that comes from the best Robot Chicken Sketch in their entire series…

I’d be dead. A serial killer would use it as an excuse to come inside and I’d immediately be an idiot and say “absolutely come on in. I love Venus.”

As I was writing the above sentence, I suddenly had an idea for a story about a Vampire who tries to use religion as a way of being invited over the threshold of strangers homes, and get increasingly frustrated when people tell him to fuck off.

If they’re so shitty at being Nazis, can we call them “Notzis”?
