I don’t like it, haven’t really needed it, prefer public transport and have terrible motor skills.

aeki ,

I really enjoyed reading your story. It’s honest about your faults and kind to yourself at the same time. I hope I can find a way to see my own life in a similar way.

aeki ,

Daydreaming. I’m sick of it, but I keep going there.

aeki ,

I get it, most of my life I’ve had episodes that are more like yours, and my brain just found this and it doesn’t want to let go for a reason. The first couple of months I thought it was the best escape, but once I realized I couldn’t stop, I’ve been despairing. I feel like I’m going mad but more quietly rather than explosively.

aeki ,

I like that Cory Doctorow is pretty open about having been scammed despite being quite well informed, because it really can happen to anyone. It just takes the right convergence of factors.

And people forget that we’re also the egg.

aeki ,

Yes, the mitochondria and all the other organelles. We’re mostly egg.

Vad har det med Sverige att göra? As a Spanish speaker, that’s just one its meanings in Spanish.

aeki ,

Which ants? All ants?

aeki ,

I’ve never smelled ants, but like maybe ants in Sweden don’t smell? It’s why I wanted to know which kinds.

aeki ,

I never knew I wanted to know this much about centaurs.

aeki ,

I don’t see anything mentally unhealthy about what you do, sounds cool.

aeki ,

I’m 37 and I can never get a parrot. :(

But a parrot could get me for a little while.

aeki ,

But like, a prism only reveals what was already inside that light beam.

A small pond the size of a large pond

My boss told me himself that I probably have impostor syndrome. Ever since then, I lose sleep wondering how much he regrets saying that. By now, he surely realises that I actually am an impostor, but our labour laws are too good and he can’t fire me.

aeki ,

I get this on my toes on cold days. It always freaks me out even though I know what’s going on.

aeki ,

I was very confused until I realized you mean flat elastic bands which I’m not so familiar with (the ones I’m used to, have square cross sections).

aeki ,

So do I. This has more to do with being an terrifying entitled, out of touch billionaire. Who also happens to be autistic.

aeki ,

Was it because of that other post about the two genders Fe (iron) and Mn (Manganese)?

aeki ,

You painted these yourself? They look so good! (I haven’t seen the originals).

aeki ,

I find it even better when you think about the oxygen instead of the food, since babies become able to breathe on their own entirely without parental intervention.

aeki ,

Well it does say “4life”

Is it normal to forget your own age?

I’m still in my 20s, but as of a few years ago I started forgetting what’s my exact age. I always have to stop and recalculate it each time someone asks me. I get asked fairly infrequently, but when I do it’s a bit weird/embarrassing that I have to say “wait, let me calculate”. (I know when I was born, of course.)...

aeki ,

It’s probably normal to forget. I am probably the odd one in that I’m always very aware of my age and I’m almost 40. I’m also acutely aware of the ages of people around me, and (very mildly) uncomfortable if I don’t know someone’s age.

aeki ,

I agree, but I think I understand why I do it.

TL:DR Maladaptive behavior that is however ultimately harmless since I don’t bother people.

I was a “gifted child”; was always like 2 school years ahead, started uni at 15 and every single person I met would praise me for being the youngest. I was immature so it got to my head. I also have always looked much younger than I am, which also invites comments. Finally, I also have AuDHD and I’m constantly anxious about not acting my age and being too immature. So I try to look at other people’s ages to guide me in how I’m supposed to behave.

All of this is maladaptive and I’ve gotten a lot better with time, and I’m still working on it, but I’m not particularly bothered about the actual fact of having an interest in people’s ages. I make sure I don’t ask them about it or bother them about it, but many just offer this information on their own.

I know someone named Pia. Never thought it was weird but we didn’t interact in English

aeki ,

I’m a Spanish speaker that is afraid of French. I cannot make any of those sounds.

Seems like only the US is available. I am also curious about a product like this that’d deliver to Sweden.

aeki ,

I was really confused about this apparently nonsensical The Expanse reference until I saw the username of the person you responded to.

aeki ,

I haven’t!

aeki ,

I do, even if it’s a bot, because maybe it’s not. I have worked on 2nd+ line tech support, and I’d often see 1st line getting mistreated by customers. I could never do 1st line.

aeki ,

I used to live straight in the volcano ring, even with a huge tragedy happening in a town nearby the year before I was born. I could see the snowy top of our local volcano every morning.

But now I live in Sweden. Not only no volcanos or earthquakes but also no hurricanes, tornados, landslides, nothing. It’s just flat and chill.

aeki ,

Ah yes, the eye of the volcano

aeki ,

Why would you go there?

aeki ,

Unprompted, I make a weird “surprise” face that freaks him out for some reason.

aeki ,

My problem is that the "Can you do something about it?" is always unclear, I go back and forth until it consumes my thoughts.

aeki ,

I do read extremely fast in my native language (Spanish). Feels like entire sentences go straight into concepts and my brain builds a whole world based on what I’m reading.

However I started reading in a verbalized way with my second and third languages (English and Swedish) because I was completely useless at pronunciation, while reading at a high level. So I had to learn the sounds and they started invading my reading, which I sort of resent.

But the verbalization is still very mild; faint, monotone, non-enunciated.

Some people talked about poetry and I hadn’t considered that my absolute lack of poetry-sense could be related. People have told me about the metrics and whatnot and it really doesn’t click. I have to sort of analyze a poem and explain it to myself in prose, and I imagine that defeats the purpose of poetry?

aeki ,

Whenever we drive through one of these we’re stressed about finding the right exit and the GPS stops working inside the tunnels so we end up coming out where we didn’t mean to.

We don’t own a car or anything anymore, but I really don’t miss these.

aeki ,

People say that the point of activity pub is federation but to me that also means voluntary federation. The possibility of federation. What I dream for it is an option to opt-in instead of opt-out. You should be able to pick “opt-out” if you want a big, connected place. You can have your cake and eat it too by also keeping an account in a big instance of your choice. Most apps let you switch accounts with a tap or two.

We don’t all want to be thrown into the world all the time; complete federation just makes it a safe space for majority populations and marginalizes minorities by default. No, I’m not saying you’re all evil and exclude people on purpose, it just happens. It happens to me too.

Some of you seem to think that marginalized people are too soft and want a safe space, but you fail to notice that largely, you also have a safe space for yourself, it’s just that you probably belong to the default in many areas (I am sighted and most of the internet is made for sighted people).

I grew up in a small forum; people should be able to choose to keep things small, and open in a controlled way. Because that’s the beauty of activity pub, you can still federate with others!

I understand the very practical problem of lack of moderation tools and to me that’s pretty much the only reason to leave, for now. Maybe come back if it gets better?

aeki ,

Seems to be the same as it started near Grindavík, the city that was evacuated previously as a precaution.

aeki ,

This is such a beautiful comment.

aeki ,

Logseq has worked best for me and my ADHD so far.

aeki ,

This sounds like a boast but it’s actually sad? Like I live in Europe and a lot of people I know seriously have functional alcoholism, but it’s normal enough that nobody thinks it a problem until it is. Alcohol is a pretty strong drug. It doesn’t matter if you can “take it”, it’s still doing things in your body.

Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...

aeki ,

Tried Hollow Knight for the first time on the Deck, it works so well!

I’m not even specially good at gaming but I thought Hornet (a Hollow Knight boss) was quite enjoyable and not that hard and I wonder if it has to do with the Deck controls, since everyone has mentioned how difficult that one is (I did find all other bosses very difficult so this is not a boast).

Edit to mention that Horizon: Zero Dawn is another one that I only tried with the Deck and it also works really well, though this one consumes a lot more battery compared to HK.

aeki ,

Now that I think about it, I had to tweak some settings for HZD according to some guide, but I don’t remember exactly what I did. After that, it worked quite well. Perhaps it wasn’t 60 fps but 40? For me that was good enough.

It could still depend on standards. For example people seem to say Rimworld is great on the Deck but I absolutely disagree.

aeki ,

For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I’m also passively seeding more.

aeki ,

This is what I live for. :D

I agree with most of that. In formal settings, I prefer full sentences with conjunctions; however, choppy sentences are the ones that often end up in my Lemmy comments.
