Ron DeSantis' new target in his 'war on woke'? Colors, apparently (www.msnbc.com)

As part of DeSantis’ “Freedom Summer” initiative, the state’s transportation secretary, Jared W. Perdue, announced earlier this month that bridges in the state will have no choice but to be illuminated in red, white and blue from Memorial Day through Labor Day....

And Juneteenth, and a day of remembrance for victims of gun violence

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Interchanges, plazas and malls

And crowded chain restaurants

More housing developments go up

Named after the things they replace

So welcome to Minnow Brook

And welcome to Shady Space

Well it all seems a little abrupt

No, I don’t like this change of pace

We don’t need more blobs of suburban “neighborhoods”. Urban centers should be renovating/repurposing vacant properties and infilling empty areas. It’s a matter of building more densely and not tearing down nature for the sake of private equity firms bottom lines

I thought kiwis were more tame than aussies

I run mint btw

I struggle with depression and alexithymia. How do I write with emotion?

I have to write a paper about a place/time that I have an emotional attachment to or a place that has shaped my sense of self. I haven’t really felt much of an attachment to anything for most of my life. Even if I did, I wouldn’t even know how to begin describing the nature or cause of that attachment. I chose to write about...

Hey that’s a pretty good idea, thank you! That got the neurons firing a bit. As an aside, I was getting help for a bit but therapy is expensive. Im going to school so I can finally get a job that pays enough for me to get health insurance instead of paying out of pocket. Thanks again!

BarrelAgedBoredom OP ,

That’s a great idea! I’ve been so fixated on trying to follow the prompt, the thought of using one of my emotions wheels never occured to me lol. Thank you

BarrelAgedBoredom OP ,

I don’t think I’ll be able to cram enough reading in to learn how to feel emotions by Sunday night but I’ll try my best

BarrelAgedBoredom OP ,

I did have some success doing essentially what you said. My free writing was certainly a lot more colorful than the draft I produced. I had a hard time editing my free writing to fit the prompt, essentially stripping what little emotion there was out of it in order to make it flow. The ADHD also made it rough to stay on topic haha. I’d get really into what I was writing and then read it back and realize it was completely useless for the purposes of my essay

Seconded for mobilism. It’s pretty good

Makes you a bit light headed and pleasantly dissociated. If you’ve ever done psychedelics it’s a bit like the come up. You get really loose and jovial for a minute.or two; it’s pretty common to spend it laughing your ass off. Then you come back to earth feeling relaxed. It’s (safely) synergistic with a lot of common party drugs.

I can only speak to its effects with mushrooms and acid. On a healthy dose of mushrooms (3.5 g or so) it’s akin to a DMT trip of you hit it at the peak. Fractals out the wazoo and you lose all sense of time. I thought I travelled to the future and came back with an unsettling sense of deja vu. 7/10.

The last time I did whipits was in combination with some nice dark web blotters. Dropped a 150 mic tab, watched 2001: a space odyssey and did whipits the whole time. The visuals were very different from mushrooms. Colors appeared out of nowhere, deep purples, greens and reds dripping off the walls and screens while you felt like your very essence was melting into a pool of narcotic bliss. Again, losing all sense of time until your soul suddenly reconstituted itself. 11/10

Did you read the article? She’s been in intensive care for her mental health for a decade. This wasn’t some spur of the moment decision. Its taken 10 years to get to this point. To state that mental illnesses are curable and non-progressive is pure ignorance and you would do yourself well to learn how poor the prognosis is for people with severe mental illness. There isn’t a cure. You never feel whole or normal. Medication is a shot in the dark most of the time. Therapy doesn’t help everybody. Some people are truly and completely untreatable, and she is one of those people

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Name a single curable mental illness.

I’ll help you out: there aren’t any. Some can be managed and worked around in day to day life. Some people may achieve a reasonable quality of life, but their illness will never totally disappear

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

This isn’t a problem with “my” definition of cure. I’m using the commonly understood definition. If someone is successfully managing their type 1 diabetes with insulin and a healthy diet we don’t say they’re cured. They still have diabetes. If they stopped taking their meds and ate a ton of carb heavy foods they’d wind up in the hospital in a matter of days.

Same goes with mental illness. If you stop taking your meds, going to therapy, etc. your mental state will decline again. They’re still mentally ill, they’re just managing it.

Perhaps some people have acute moments of distress to the point where it’s clinically significant and treatment helps them weather that moment. Eventually they may return to their baseline of not needing drugs or therapy. But given the context of this thread (a woman killing herself after a decade of unsuccessful treatment) I figured it was fair to assume chronic mental illness. Something to the tune of major depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, etc.

The word cure isn’t a fluid term to me or most people. It’s something that connotes permentant relief of a person’s signs and symptoms of a given illness. Something that often isn’t the case for mental illness

Meh, prudes ruined the fun. There ain’t nothing wrong with some titties

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I will not stand for this anarchist erasure

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Yeah but it’s funnier with liberals because they get all persecution complex-y when people left of them give them shit, just like conservatives do when libs give them shit

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Anarchists are pretty active in their communities, with mutual aid and direct action being cornerstones of the ideology and whatnot. If you spent any time in activist spaces you’d know that

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I think what you’re describing is less of an anarchism problem and more of a “people in general” problem. I’m an anarchist and I’d like to think I conduct myself pretty well for the most part, even in political discussions. I won’t say I haven’t been an ass online or in person before but that’s not due to my ideology. I’m just an ass sometimes. Same as everyone else. I will concede that we can be a bit insular at times and that’s certainly a weak spot for many anarchists

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

They’re putting chemicals in the water, making the frickin whales literate!

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Replace the teal with purple and you got it

A 4 year old .ml account spewing mysoginy? That’s a new one

I like to jiggle my cats pouch when he walks near me. He isn’t nearly as entertained as I am

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I legitimately do not get pocket. It’s just rebranded bookmarks

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Well when you put it that way I’m suddenly convinced! I’m gonna go buy me a pocket to put my Firefox in right now!

Two things can be bad

He’s still relatively old as fuck. If you can collect social security you shouldn’t be running a country

I’m here to flame you for your lack of cable management

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

You can explain it to me. I’ll over confidently feign understanding for maximum frustration too!

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Too smart to be youtube fodder, too stupid to ditch the scam. What a place to be!

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I don’t normally wish ill on people and I have a passion for geriatrics but if your relative broke a knee I think they would be better off for it. A hard lesson in compassion, vulnerability and support for the disabled is a long time coming for them. If they can’t recognize their sick pet of 15 years crying out for help and support then they deserve to feel exactly like that poor cat. Alone, afraid, and incapable

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

We’ve been completely reduced to revenue streams for those that already have unimaginable wealth and it’s killing us. The transparent abuse and exploitation is so beyond parody it wraps around to sounding like a joke. Then you realize it isn’t a joke and get more depressed

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

At the very minimum, at least it’s based on something tangible about you as a person over horoscopes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still dumb and effectively useless but it could be worse

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Florida gets a lot of shit but our neighbors to the north are fuckin weird man. Atlanta and Savannah are cool but the rest of Georgia can get fucked

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Alternatively, work in a hospital or on an ambulance. We’ve got loads of the shit

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I really want to put a couple bottles of tablets in a blender and see what happens haha

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Obligatory reminder to get your flu shots!

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I don’t think you really even need AI (in the sense of LLMs, as that’s usually what’s referred to with AI) for a flavor pairing software whatchamacallit. I forget what the concept is called but I learned about it through the flavor matrix. Where you essentially compare the different aromatic and flavor compounds in a given food/ingredient and base recommendations off of other foods with compatible compounds in them. A large enough database and a good UI would be a gamechanger for cooking

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Have you ever been poor? Yes, sometimes you need credit to live. I’m still paying off debt from 2020 that I only acquired due to desperation and the threat of homelessness

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Block ani.social, yiffit, and pawb.social, turn off NSFW posts and you’ll be 99% there. There’s a few anime .world communities but they’re easy enough to block

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

These unrealistic body standards are really starting to get to my head

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Perhaps, but you are aware that shrimp, lobster, crab and fish in general all have parasites too right? People get sick from seafood pretty often

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I do the exact same thing lol. Works great when youre determined to not do something but want to give the illusion of choice

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

Brush your teeth

BarrelAgedBoredom ,

I can see the student, no horse no wizard and definitely no boobs. This makes no sense to me
