After enjoying a few years of feeling like I knew who I was - which is atypical for my life at large - I've been feeling sort of lost again, lately. I feel like I don't really have a place. Everyone has reasons to hate me if they dig deep enough - my opinions and viewpoints are just so varied and not consistent with any mainstream ideology. It's kind of tiring.
Hey, I have created a Matrix room for capsuleers from Station. Here is the invite link: https://matrix.to/#/!DWUvnRFMUzVbnwiUpB:matrix.org?via=matrix.org
If we compare the internet to stimulants, the old internet was like coffee and grandma's house, while the new internet is like smoking meth from a lightbulb.,
When Station started, I opened up a Matrix room for capsuleers, but I deleted it due to lack of interest. If I created a new one, who would be interested?
Lately I've been finding myself wanting to re-connect with people from my past. What are some good ways to do this without Facebook? I am tempted to re-join that corporate monster for this purpose alone.
I've been feeling very isolated recently. I've drifted away in lots of ways from my IRL friends. When I meet new people they are generally held captive by one groupthink or the other. I want to like people but sometimes they make it hard.
I'm normally very "unix philosophy" but I've been playing around with Thunderbird (or more accurately a fork of it) and it feels kinda nice to have my email, calendar, RSS, contacts, Matrix and Telegram all in one application. Feels very early-web-2.0 - very 2011. Idk why.
Is geddit down?
Why is it that the smallest online spaces feel the least lonely?
I long to get out of the cubicle and make my living doing something on my own schedule. I need to grt started on some projects I'm trying to get written bur this is hard when you already work full-time and have kids. Does anyone have any advice for someone trying to get out of the corporate world and into freelance work?
Today I've been thinking about how to get a heathen kindred off the ground without Facebook (which unfortunately seems to be where ALL local organization happens nowadays). Do I put an ad on Craigslist? I don't think anyone would respond, lol
I've been sick since Friday and spending several days sick at home always fills me with the strangest cabin fever. It's difficult to explain and even more difficult to remedy.
I'm looking for PeerTube recommendations - does anyone have any?
Self-improvement is a long-term war of attrition against your worst self. You need to be tired of your own bullshit. You're gonna fuck up, but the important part is to never give up and never give the worst self free reign again. War against the worst self, always.
Do you ever look back at your past self and cringe?
