Watched Fury road for the billionth time last night. God it’s good. Doesn’t set out to be anything it shouldn’t be; delivers what you want. Not too much dwelling on the past, no shoehorned romances. Just fast and fun.
I have completely stopped using google services and software on my personal devices (even have lineageos + microg on my phone. The problem is that I can’t just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?
There was a sense of… Anticipation? When we first got internet in my family.
The dial up tone was an announcement that you were going on the internet. It was a mindful choice you made, and you had to wait a bit for it. Not just pick up your phone and look at it. You had something in mind that you wanted to do.
It did always have a slight sense of occasion and I remember having butterflies just waiting for the connection. I’m very nostalgic for it.
The rule of the community is you must post before you leave after viewing something. It’s obviously not anything policed.
Someone started showing their adherence to this rule by putting the word ‘rule’ in their post title. People continued this trend, sometimes using a play on words related to the post itself, making crap portmanteaus etc. they’re usually not very cryptic.
Unfortunately I have to use this cesspool a lot for work.
In any case, something I’ve noticed is the ‘contribute your thoughts to this topic (for ai)’ are always responded to by people who are clearly using chatgpt.
I guess it’s like I can’t find a use case for it. Maybe I’ll try it again but it didn’t grab me the first time. I’m a savoury drink fan - bloody Mary’s and super dirty dry martinis are my favourite.
Maybe it was the carbonation I didn’t like. Things to ponder…
I feel for him, and for his mother who gave up her seat so he could go. Fuck the billionaires but he was 19 - I can’t feel any humour about his death, or for what this must’ve done to his mother.
I’m sure the others had family members too who have gone through hell while the world laughed.
We can have compassion for those people while still shrugging at the stupidity of the willing dead.
I don’t have a cat (did in the past, was an indoor cat) but there’s many roaming my neighbourhood because it’s still apparently difficult for Australians to understand how fucked that is.
I’d like to be able to talk to cats.
So I’d go have a chat to them and explain what longer, healthier lives they’d have at home. Free from disease, injury and the risk of being hit by car. I’d tell them to go home.
I’d also explain to them, that if they keep visiting my house, that eventually my dog might get one. And if he doesn’t, I’ll trap them and take them to the pound because their shit families are unlikely to have chipped them.
This just reminded me of a moment I had, years ago.
I was so stressed from work, working on my 6th burnout for the year.
I was meant to be getting stuff for dinner from the supermarket.
I had money, that wasn’t the issue. But I didn’t have a shopping list. My partner and I had just briefly discussed myself ‘picking up something’ on my way home.
I was paralyzed. My thoughts wouldn’t align or connect. I couldn’t think of any dinner option we’d ever had. So I couldn’t configure a shopping list in my head. I think I stood in the canned vegetable aisle and just stared ahead, trying not to cry.
I ended up sitting on a bench in the middle of the shopping centre trying to write a list on my phone. Eventually I had to call my partner and tell him I wasn’t okay and he needed to come get me.
Long story lacking events I know. But this meme made me think. Short of family emergency/death of loved ones, work is the only thing that has placed that kind of stress on me. Even in grief I have a sense of one foot in front of the other for any particular task. But burn out made me immobile. Completely saturated my brain and made it stop working.
Our brains aren’t built for that. They shouldn’t be.
Oh I work for myself now, this was years ago, I’m a far better employer :)
But be careful with this kind of advice. Some people’s jobs require that they do need to worry about things they can’t control. Other people, namely. And that’s literally the job description.
The addict’s prayer or whatever it’s called is not applicable to a lot of jobs.
