IED(EDS) sufferer and spectrum surfer. You probably won’t like what I have to say.
“Farewell. Chosen Undead. I remain here, and await thee.”
I would invite you to consider that a fascist government with access to both the largest nuclear stockpile as well as by far the largest stating military is now in power
So it might not be your problem today, but it will CERTAINLY be your problem at some point
because the territory greed of fascist governments are never sated, and now who can stop us?
Eat the rich, bury their bones, grow a better world
How about the 43% of us who are somehow PROUD about never reading a book
I’m old
And if you’ve seen long form LLM output, you know why publishers aren’t ditching human writers for the foreseeable future
Let me save you some time: There is literally nothing you can post that will cause me to doubt my writing skill, though I invite you to try.
Writing’s just my hobby side hustle and I doubt anyone is going to waste processing power on my particular niche
Because it is written with an ulterior motive to support abhorrent ideals and values
That’s nice you can do that
I can’t, at least without medication with life crippling side effects
But go you I guess
And I’ve had a lot more setbacks than successes, my aunt isn’t the only one I’ve been working on but she’s the only one to make progress.
Don’t give up! There is a hopeful future at the end of all of this if we can just get 10% of them to understand
Over the months the amount of shit from that instance has convinced me they have zero value or worth, among others
I mean, ymmv, for all I know their ideals may resonate with you, but for me I am more than convinced it is a proper choice.
On reddit, 2/3rds of the time I spent there in the last few years has been blocking people to curate my engagement
Lemmy makes it so easy, I don’t have to do it one at a time now.
So my procedure is thus: after the 5 rancid comments in a day from users of any given instance, I go and browse the instance. If I keep finding unchallenged rancid replies, then fuck that instance. Lemm.ee has been on my radar for a while now
I’ve had small success with my aunt by focusing on her love of children, explaining how many are dying under the needlessly cruel boot of Israel
From what I have figured out:
They need to already respect you in some way, this does not work on random strangers unless you are a top tier communicator or public figure
You need to identify the levers, for my aunt it is babies in danger. It will be different for different people, you need to do your homework
INFINITE PATIENCE and consistently reiterating your own genuine respect for them (this can be hard, you may need to dig deep), you need to show them that they aren’t your enemy and that they have been lied to by people they have trusted for nefarious purposes
Play on the rights inherent distrust for the elite, Muskrat and co ARE the elite! Look at what he’s doing to medicare!
It will take many, many sessions and you CANNOT falter or get impatient or it gives them an excuse to dismiss everything before
It’s not easy, it takes time and effort, though it is doable
Magnesium supplements, but be careful a lot of them give you barely 10% USDA a pill and cost tons
Better to find bulk magnesium gluconate on amazon in powder form and mix it into a drink daily. Has a pleasant taste unlike Magnesium Citrate but if you are desperate you can get that now in the form of No-salt salt substitutes in any grocery spice aisle but it is really bitter and nasty but will do the job.
I was the same way for the last 10+ years, and after a week of daily magnesium I was able to fall asleep in minutes and woke up more rested. I still have other stress in my life but being able to get a consistent full 6 hours after so many years of 2 and 4 that makes all the difference
It’s been a profound game changer for me
Oh look another entitled artist to block
I wonder how many of you whined when paintbrushes were invented
I love fingerpainting so much and it’s taken years to get to a point where I’m satisfied enough to share my paintings. Only thing is now there’s Brushes and I’m disturbed by the fact there’s so many people who prefer Brush generated art and will feel no remorse using it since it is basically an art theft machine.
Anyone comfortable in this growing fascist nation is either deluded or an active enemy
That’s why I spend as much time as I can high and playing video games
Can’t change the outer world and don’t want to live in it
So I’ll make my own a dozen times over
I was really angry when I found out that most people aren’t being constantly mentally bombarded by a highlight reel of all of the fuckups they’ve ever done, all the time
I was even angrier when their solution for me was ‘Just don’t let it bother you’
Some ideologies deserve to be ended
Thank you for reminding me to block lemm.ee with your sad propaganda
How long till DOGE sues Meta to drop the ‘book’ part…
