Jó, egy kicsit felbasz

a képmutatás. Amikor valaki megmentőként vagy bölcsként aposztrofálja magát szembenézés helyett. Persze rögtön eszembe is jut, hogy senkitől sem szabad elvenni az élethazugságait. Mondja a pszichológia.

Akkor van vége egy bármilyen kapcsolatnak, amikor már nem akarsz semmit. Se tetszeni, se elmagyarázni, se bebizonyítani, se bosszút állni, és nincs semmi amit várnál, bocsánatkérés, vallomás, beismerés, kárpótlás és adni sem tudsz vagy akarsz semmit sem már. Mondja a pszichológia.

Egyszer meséltem egy aktuális szerelmemről egy barátomnak, hogy a csávó a kriptonitom. Ellágyulok, elerőtlenedem, elvesztem magam a közelében. Mintha nem is én lennék. Csak valami gyerekes, nőietlen, szorongó ideggörcsöt hozott ki belőlem, aki kapálózott folyton és próbált levegőhöz jutni és megkapaszkodni a semmiben. (meg persze a kriptonitot arannyá változtatni – minden buta gyerek fantáziája) A barátom azt mondta : Úristen! Ezt hallani is szörnyű.

És közben, hajmeresztő, hogy semmire, de semmire nincs valós rálátásunk. Soha egyetlen pillanatban sem fogunk tisztán látni, legalábbis azzal az isteni tisztánlátással amiben nincsenek saját érzelmek, csak ok-okozati láncolatok tényszerű fonala. Ha jól érezzük magunkat (a magunk önző módján) az azt jelenti, hogy ügyesen racionalizáltuk a dolgokat, a körülöttünk levő világot és benne magunkat. Ha rosszul, akkor nem.

Tegnap egy rendezvényen voltam. Egész érdekesen alakult, mert lett egy "lámpát, ha gyújtok, még jön rá bogár" élményem. Egy csávó, jóképű, egyből kiszúrtam, mint réges régen amikor még.... na mindegy, rég volt :D. Jött is szépen hamarosan, beszélgettünk. És beszélt, és beszélt magáról és pár perc múlva már tudtam, hogy akkora egoista fasz, mint ide lacháza. De már tudtam, már el is vesztettem minden érdeklődésemet. Kérdeztem és kérdeztem és beszélt és beszélt és sosem kérdezett vissza, de ha mondtam is valamit, sosem fűzött hozzá csak mondta önmagát. Elment piáért, én meg elsasszéztam arrébb. Jött is egy másik faszi. Egy aranyos, vidám, mosolygós, jóindulatú. Akivel nagyon jó volt beszélgetni. Tele volt élettel, ötlettel, csinálással, komoly műveltséggel, valós tapsztalatokkal. Láttam, éreztem, hogy vonzó vagyok a számára azért ragad le nálam, de csak beszélgettünk és ez nekem tökletes volt. Ahogy tökéletes volt a mosoly és az örülök, hogy megismertelek is – amikor eljöttem. Most azt kéne kiderítenem, hogy hogyan tudnék ilyen barátokat begyűjteni azok helyett, akik passzióból megaláznak.

Ma nem sikerült semmi tanulságot kikerekíteni. Bocs. :)

This one? :D

This whole stream was delightful. What a way to return 🤗

Tango was so happy energetic.

And from Tango calling Etho's storage system cute and Etho in gamechat going "CUTE?!" (00:41:07). To the razzing (and laughing) over shops (00:49:00 and 01:03:49). Etho taking Tango's head twice, and it all being so playful (00:58:11). Etho using Tango's catchphrases 🥹🥹🥹 It gets me every time! "porkchop power" "flee with extra flee!" And the way he said it was the cutest, and Tango's giggle about it too (01:00:59). Etho offering to give the tour Tango wanted. More mail talk and laughing guilt and planning and razzing and teaching Etho to do the stamps. Tango complimenting the path (and that Etho showed it to him when he first came back when Etho came to say hi) (01:15:41). They still plan on doing their sand-collection-off (01:35:06).

And of course the whole TNTificating with Etho's new "boom boom tech" (01:39:43--02:15:17) was just…the most fun. They are having the most fun together...it's an absolute joy. (And it's also them collaborating on how to figure out a redstone thing together which is just so satisfying.) Just...TOO MANY (!!!) (so many) fun moments in that whole TNT section that I can't even start on highlighting them all 😭 I'd need another mammoth paragraph...

Honestly??? Still smiling. Great great great stream 🥹

Timestamps are for YouTube not Twitch because Tango was so fast on getting the VOD up lmao

Still haven’t finished hbomber guy but I’m really angry about James somerton. Like I’m not going to pretend oh I always saw this coming bc no I didn’t. The only reason I didn’t attempt to financially support him bc I can’t afford it.

There have always been a couple of things that made me ick but for some reason I never added them up.

Like I didn’t like the very woe is me attitude he brings consistently or I noticed a couple of time that he would be sexist and dress it up by saying white women which is a pretty common way to get away with misogyny. But for some reason I never put them together which I’m very embarrassed about tbh. Especially bc I had no inkling about the plagiarism issues. I have for the record never seen his twitter or livestreams.

And idk I just wanted to talk about it. It’s stupid how parasocial relationships work and I didn’t think I had a big one there are plenty of his videos I just haven’t watched and yet I feel very hurt by this. And more than that I feel hurt on behalf of those he stole from.

Andrew watches on as his brother tries to cough out the water that he had accidentally inhaled before he spat the rest out. He sips his own water while watching, waiting for his brother to finish hacking up a lung.

Finally after a full minute of dedicated coughing Aaron looked at him with watery eyes, “Josten…has a boyfriend?”

“One of our teammates.” Andrew confirms thinking about how easily they had been in one another’s space for the entire day.

PSA: Free Software

Reading this may really save your time, privacy, and money! Reblog or share to spread awareness!

Folks often use software that’s expensive and sometimes even inferior because they don’t know there are alternatives. So to those unfamiliar: basically, free and open-source (FOSS) or "libre" software is free to use and anyone can access the original code to make their own version or work on fixing problems.

That does not mean anyone can randomly add a virus and give it to everyone—any respectable libre project has checks in place to make sure changes to the official version are good! Libre software is typically developed by communities who really care about the quality of the software as a goal in itself.

There are libre alternatives to many well-known programs that do everything an average user needs (find out more under the cut!) for free with no DRM, license keys, or subscriptions.

Using libre software when possible is an easy way to fight against and free yourself from corporate greed while actually being more convenient in many cases! If you need an app to do something, perhaps try searching online for things like:

foss [whatever it is]

libre [whatever it is]

open source [whatever it is]

Feel free to recommend more libre software in the tags, replies, comments, or whatever you freaks like to do!

Some Libre Software I Personally Enjoy…

LibreOffice

LibreOffice is an office suite, much like Microsoft Office. It includes equivalents for apps like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, which can view and edit files created for those apps.

I can't say I've used it much myself yet. I do not personally like using office software except when I have to for school.

OpenShot

OpenShot Video Editor is, as the name suggests, a video editing program. It has industry-standard features like splicing, layering, transitions, and greenscreen.

I've only made one video with it so far, but I'm already very happy with it. I had already paid for a video editor (Cyberlink PowerDirector Pro), but I needed to reinstall it and I didn't remember how. Out of desperation, I searched up "FOSS video editor" and I'm so glad I did. There's no launcher, there's no promotion of other apps and asset packs—it's just a video editor with a normal installer.

GIMP

GNU Image Manipulation Program is an image editor, much like Photoshop. Originally created for Linux but also available for Windows and MacOS, it provides plenty of functionality for editing images. It is a bit unintuitive to learn at first, though.

I've used it to create and modify images for years, including logos, really bad traceover art, and Minecraft textures. It doesn't have certain advanced tech like AI paint-in, but it has served my purposes well and it might just work for yours!

(Be sure to go to Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Colors. I have no idea why that's not enabled by default.)

Audacity

Audacity is an audio editing program. It can record, load, splice, and layer audio files and apply effects to them.

Audacity is another program I've used for a long time. It is not designed to compose music, but it is great for podcasts, simple edits, and loading legacy MS Paint to hear cool noises.

7-Zip

7-Zip is a file manager and archive tool. It supports many archive types including ZIP, RAR, TAR, and its own format, 7Z. It can view and modify the contents of archives, encrypt and decrypt archives, and all that good stuff.

Personally, I use 7-Zip to look inside JAR files for Minecraft reasons. I must admit that its UI is ugly.

Firefox

Firefox is an internet browser, much like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. While browsers are free, many of them include tracking or other anti-consumer practices. For example, Google plans to release an update to Chromium (the base that most browsers are built from these days) that makes ad blockers less effective by removing the APIs they currently rely on.

Aside from fighting monopolies, benefits include: support for animated themes (the one in the picture is Purple Night Theme), good ad blockers forever, an (albeit hidden) compact UI option (available on about:config), and a cute fox icon.

uBlock Origin

As far as I know, uBlock Origin is one of the best ad blockers there is.

I was on a sketchy website with my brother, and he was using Opera GX's ad blocker. Much of the time when he clicked on anything, it would take us to a random sponsored page. I suggested that he try uBlock Origin, and with uBlock Origin, that didn't happen anymore.

Linux

Linux is a kernel, but the term is often used to refer to operating systems (much like Windows or MacOS) built on it. There are many different Linux-based operating systems (or "distros") to choose from, but apps made for Linux usually work on most popular distros. You can also use many normally Windows-only apps on Linux through compatibility layers like WINE.

I don't have all four of these, so the images are from Wikipedia. I tried to show a variety of Linux distros made for different kinds of users.

If you want to replace your operating system, I recommend being very careful because you can end up breaking things. Many computer manufacturers don't care about supporting Linux, meaning that things may not work (Nvidia graphic cards notoriously have issues on Linux, for example).

Personally, I tried installing Pop!_OS on a laptop, and the sound output mysteriously doesn't work. I may try switching to Arch Linux, since it is extremely customizable and I might be able to experiment until I find a configuration where the audio works.

Many Linux distros offer "Live USB" functionality, which works as both a demo and an installer. You should thoroughly test your distro on a Live USB session before you actually install it to be absolutely sure that everything works. Even if it seems fine, you should probably look into dual-booting with your existing operating system, just in case you need it for some reason.

Happy computering!

Good morning Amity Park, I'm your ghostly weatherman, Lance Thunder. Today's Friday, January 26, and there’s a 80% chance of rain. The highs are in the mid forties and the lows are in the low thirties.

The Box Ghost has been seen in several places across town this morning. It is unknown exactly what he is doing, so please be wary if you are in possession of any boxes.

All major road damage and blocks on the main roads in Amity Park have been fixed.

The Fentons will likely be driving today.

Hospital in Waterloo said that David possibly has an aneurysm and had to be transferred to Iowa City by ambulance. So I went home, got a change of clothes and toiletries for him and at around 4:30 left to go to the hospital. I found emergency ok and I found David. They took him to get another CT scan. They didn’t find any aneurysm but they want to double check so they’ll do yet another test. So fingers crossed. However, he will have to stay at the hospital for 7 days. They say he needs to be checked closely. I’ll have to juggle home, pets, one and a half hour going and coming back. I have to change the oil in my car so I guess I’ll do that first thing tomorrow morning. I went to move my car from the emergency parking lot to one of the ramps and that was an ordeal. I hope I find my car again. I hate these huge hospitals, I always get lost. David is in ICU now, that’s why I had to move it. Wait and see, they’ll move him again and I’ll have to find my way once again in the hospital. Michael and Andrew will come to get me at the hospital since I haven’t slept since yesterday morning. Haven’t eaten anything all day but I saw a cafeteria on the way here. I’m not hungry but may get a coffee.

I didn’t expect to end 2023 like this but it is what it is. I’m just hoping David will come out of this one fine.

So Andrew does a remarkable job not getting a hard-on while working on a charity project for Renee. It is an endeavor especially when Neil's bubble butt bumps his face when he almost loses his balance.

Whatever God that Renee believes in, he is quite the asshole to torture Andrew like this.

Finally by the end of the day the majority of the structure is built and Andrew finds himself stuck with Allison and some others making sure they have a good spooky outfit for him when the time comes. Andrew narrows his eyes at Renee who merely laughs, "We need everyone to look scary, even if you're going to be behind the scenes." she says.
