#Easy Online Process

[brown-little-robin]

okay, I'm crowdsourcing advice for a minute, so bear with me and please lend some words if you have any:

I want to get out of the house more. Like, on a regular basis. Weekly, maybe. Preferably, I would like to be interacting with people—the same people—every time, for... like... accountability, but also because I am hoping to put myself out there as the 21st century's most neurotic platonic Casanova. Uh. Making a friend or more out of this would be desirable. But I think if I go out with the intention of making a friend, I will be disappointed.

So. I want to go do something, for that something's own sake. I don't want to go be fake once a week hoping to get a friend out of it.

However, the beautiful state of Iowa is a bit cultureless, and I am too introverted and easily overwhelmed for this world (e.g. going to bars is probably not gonna be my thing). So.... I guess.... any suggestions? opinions? thoughts on making friends in general, or finding good activities as an introverted adult, in general?

oh yeah, also: I am poor. that's a factor. so. signing up a class or similar is not a great option right now.

what the heck, I'll add a silly poll for fun:

do you ever think about the fact pokemon had on disc dlc since 1996 basically. like that was around the time discs for video games started becoming common. and like yeah i think there's bugs to get most of the early ones and game freak is actually adding them to games now which is neat but like. not only were mythicals one of the earliest examples of on disc dlc they were also an early example of fomo being exploited to sell copies. bc there are literally Pokémon you can’t get At All if you don’t get the game in the timespan game freak does events for it! and the weirdest part about this is that those scummy tactics came about originally entirely as an accident. because mew was programmed in so last minute even some people involved in the game dev didn’t even know about it and there was literally no other way to distribute this weird additional pokemon because you can’t patch a gameboy cartridge online. mew was not a marketing tactic, though it did end up being a big draw, it was genuinely just a result of the early pokemon games being a chaotic passion project (fun fact you can find basically the entire dev history of the first two games online if you wanna see more of that very chaotic dev process. which is actually very common in creating games art is inherently kind of a chaotic mess to make i'm sure most games go through the wild changes early pokemon did and we just dont have massive amounts of dev info leaked from hackers).

like the original pokemon games were not expected to be as popular as they were. like gamefreak wasn’t total nobodies or anything they have worked on successful games before pokemon but it wasn’t intended to be a massive hit it was just expected to be like. a gameboy game. that’d sell reasonably well and be reasonably popular. and it’s wild to see how stuff that kind of came about bc of a very eventful development and last minute decisions become a scummy marketing practice.

my irl close friend that's a trans woman had to hear a self proclaimed marxist-leninist non binary who is not out anywhere else but on the internet that being trans is like a concept to them + they use the english equivalent of the noise fairy dust makes when used in children's cartoons as a name. so. that's how things are going 🤓

Maybe... just maybe, if you're spending more time making long posts about hypothetical people getting mad at the content you're creating, than you are actually making the content... you're not very good at curating your own online space, and on top of that, you're risk making the people who do follow you for your content feel like you care more about the people that dislike your content.

anyway my issue with a lot of other helpols (which just makes me avoid the larger community and do my own thing in my corner) is that a lot of them are recon (which is fine!!!) but i am inherently informal and weird as shit in my practice. i call hades and hestia my spiritual dad/mom, hermes gets donuts as offerings when i’m trying to get to class on time and avoid traffic, i once asked artemis to keep deer from jumping out in front of my car on a road trip home with an offering of granola/sports bars. when people get too formal with the gods and pull out the titles, i usually bail bc it makes me uncomfortable. my relationship with my deities is extremely deep and connected, and it’s not that people who have more formal relationships with them can’t also have those, but it’s that if i called hades “lord hades” with any seriousness, he’d hit me with a rock, basically.

i don’t judge other people for their practices or more formal relationships bc honestly, it’s between you and your gods, but like… my go-to offering is the pomegranate brookside dark chocolates, and yes. sometimes i eat them out of my offering dishes the next day.

Crypto Tokens: The New Shade of Lifestyle

that is a paper tree farm, not a monoculture forest you walnut

monoculture forests are deeply unsettling in a way that is hard to explain to people who do not spend a lot of time looking at forests
