    @miguelpergamon Aaaah yeah. That Battlestar Galactica reimagining was pretty great. Did you ever watch Caprica ?

    @miguelpergamon I'd forgotten about this movie but when I was younger, I'd watch it on repeat. Thanks for sharing!

  • "Wow, you've lived so many lives"

    Yep it's one of the reasons people are constantly underestimating me. That and the fact that I look around ten years younger than I am.

    I normally don't mind (too much) but I'm very frustrated lately.

    Add in that because of my accent people talk to me like I'm dumb and... Well... I'm sure you can figure out how I might feel.

    @BenCollver I particularly have a hard time with the positive aspects. I think about the 38 who save the world in Jewish mythology. If ever they knew they were one of the 36, they would no longer be it. I think it's the same in Buddhism, that a Buddha who knows he's a Buddha is no longer the Buddha. I know there's a sort of anti attachment that's attachment but.... Basically what I'm trying to say is that other than the consequences, their judgments, positive or negative, water on a duck's back

    @BenCollver I think I understand a little better what you mean (but not totally haha). I think one of the difficulties I have is conceptualizing myself. As time goes on, I see myself more and more as a swirling mass of dust than something that can be easily pinned down. Friends have told me what they thought of me, both good and bad, and it's been helpful in understanding the consequences of my actions. But it's hard for me to really take in.

  • This is an appreciation post for https://github.com/robturner45/vlc-yt-dlp And also https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp And also https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube

    FreeTube is temporarily broken, longer than usual. (Bless those devs!) And this VLC plugin allows you to open the videos in VLC instead with the Freetube frontend. All of us devs, standing on the shoulders of giants. Never forget it.

    (PS I recommend using Freetube on your computer and NewPipe on your Android phone!)

  • Ok damn the arms are arming this morning. This was the first time in ages that I took a photo of myself shirtless and liked what I saw. Also first time ever doing this way of taking a photo. Now I can see why it was a trend for a hot second.

    @BenCollver Oh man I thought for days about this... I think I'm stuck at the word redeeming. Redeemed from what? A redeeming quality... It sounds silly but I'm not sure what that is. And when I try to think of just qualities, they all come and go. Sometimes I'm patient, but not always. Sometimes I'm courageous, but also, not always. Sometimes I'm kind but other times I fail to be. It's a question I've heard before, but now that I try to find the answer to myself, I don't even know where to begin

  • I'm having feelings again tonight about my place in the world. I feel so out of place and it's because of ideas I have about the world, humanity, all of us.... And how much that feels in conflict with... just everything around me. And despite all signs, people, whatever telling me I'm wrong, I just can't believe it.... I can't see the way I am or whatever I am as anything other than an expression of humanity trying to save itself.

    @Avitus I do about the same but I didn't include the link, just my username. I'm going to modify it to add the link now! Thanks for the idea! And keep on keeping on!

  • I think it's also worth noting that at my housewarming party yesterday, when any person said I don't know a lot of people on Signal, I would point out about three people (out of 20~) and say "they're not on Signal but everyone else here is." And that's because I proselytized to all my friends, setting lines in the sand about how to contact me and expect a response. Little by little, we win. (I wrote this post largely to tell myself to keep going.)

  • I did in fact chant "ONE OF US! ONE OF US! GOOBLE GOBBLE! GOOBLE GOBBLE!" when I convinced a friend to download Signal and join our huge group chat. I may have had a few beers.

  • The irony of a guy at the gym who I perceive as of Middle Eastern descent wearing a "Taliban Hunting Club" t shirt with a skull with a banana. Because I can 100% imagine some right wing gun nut wearing that and thinking of him as the target.

  • I'm going to bed tonight feeling some kind of way. Life isn't how I want it to be. I'm frustrated with a lot of things and I'm at a point where I have to wait for it to all play out. Again. Sometimes these things happen. But as I constantly get into periods like this, I can only think to look to myself. Blame myself. Which obviously doesn't help how I feel. Anyway, I should probably go to sleep because exhaustion and not respecting my limits is a big part of how I got here #selfcare #life #sad

    Wind rushing by my ears

    To a once hidden nightmare.
