Been going to the gym whenever possible, not the solid routine I’d like, but I’m still enjoying it. Pruned some houseplants that went crazy after a VERY long depression. A few of them might bounce back, we’ll see.

Also got a few works in progress going. They gave us flowers at work so I have one pressing under a book right now, and I’m trying to propagate the stem. Not confident, but I hate to waste a flower, so I’m trying. Also picked a bunch of succulent leaves up off the floor at work. Hopefully something grows 🤞

Nah. I’m not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I’m here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.

If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that’d be nice. But the “good bot”/“bad bot” voting system just became its own form of spam.

That’s awesome, I’m glad you have people you can depend on.

If I’m being honest, my family is more like an anchor. None of them ever learned to help themselves and that still expect me to do it. I’m just going to try to change the part of my personality that wants a social life.

Rough as usual. Overworked, underappreciated. I have a driving test coming up for a new job, but my current job won’t give me the day off, and I don’t want to quit until I’ve passed that test. I’ll work it out, it’s just stressing me out.

Multiple people online and in person have been unpleasant dicks to me when I honestly wasn’t trying to do anything wrong and it kind of depresses me. I want a social life but I hate people.

I mean, I assume?

I found the bot promoted in a different Telegram channel dedicated to making and sharing AI-generated nonconsensual pornography which has about 50,000 members.

This isn’t thought policing… First off, these are actions, but second, no one’s policing it.

People still don’t know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, “isn’t it mostly white supremacists?”

Tell him they’re ghosts, and the whole joke is that Mystery Inc. keeps finding random guys dressed as ghosts and somehow don’t notice all the ghosts yelling right there

Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.

I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others… I still wonder how much better my life would be if I’d had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme…

I was a beta reader once and the guy rejected all my alterations where I fixed the quote punctuation. So maybe?

I’m with your girlfriend. I don’t find pineapple on pizza disgusting, but for some reason it just doesn’t gel for me. Same with sausage and jam on a biscuit… One or the other, please!

But anchovies on pizza… yessssss. Get them salty, grimy fuckers in there.

Been planning on it, but shit just got complicated as I’m switching jobs, and I’ll probably have to provide a vehicle if I want a healthy amount of hours. But I’m also NOT going to buy and modify a car before I’m through probation, that’s madness.

So basically I may or may not get screwed by the vehicle tariffs, we’ll see.

Other than that, I’m kind of playing it by ear. I’m already not a huge spender, but I eat well. I decided a long time ago that that’s the last expense I’ll cut, I love food too much. I’ll get rid of everything else before I go back to living on ramen.

That philosophy is about to become unsustainable. I already know I’m going to have a give up lifting weights soon, so I don’t get as hungry, I just don’t know when.

Mostly just cleaning my house. I never really finished moving last summer and shits just thrown everywhere 😅 I finally got everything off the floor, threw it in a basket, and vacuumed a couple times. Now begins the process of finding homes for everything in the basket.

My cat sheds like crazy even with daily brushing, so the situation was dire

Stolen Netflix on my TV, 123anime.info on my phone browser. Totally legit. With a good adblocker, of course.

Oh same. I’ve been trying to cut back on sweets but with Easter having the passed, someone’s always got bringing a bowl of clearance chocolates to work or D&D night. Heaven help me if someone brings in cupcakes.

Never found the right balance. 🤷 I said “fuck it” anyway, because there’s a few reasons being less feminine is more comfortable for me. I like lifting weights but hate a sweaty scalp, so bye bye hair. I like the fit of men’s shirts more. And I realized that there’s a lot clothes and accessories that I find pretty to look at, but I don’t really get anything from wearing them.

It sucks because customers and family both make rude comments, but at least my clothes are comfy.

None at the moment. Hammer away at job application til I realize it’s an hour after bedtime and I need to eat dinner.

Too feminine: weak, controllable

Not feminine at all: ugly troll, clearly failed at being feminine and this is just cope

My cat has been a little antsy as I’ve been working so much but we still get our walkies in most days. I was SO happy yesterday because a neighbor kid asked to pet her, and Shirley let her. She’s skittish around strangers but I told the kid let Shirley sniff her hand first and she did. Kid was very gentle. I was impressed with both of them by the end of it.
