I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)

  • Peter Pan

    Jump

  • I mean if you’re under an approximate age pneumonia can keep you young forever too

  • Have you ever had a productive discussion on the Fediverse or gotten anything positive out of interacting with other users? What was the thread about?

    Jump

  • I’ve learned a lot about history, Linux terminal commands, wildlife, and even got manga recommendations from discussions with folks here.

    I do my best to avoid antagonistic conversation towards other users.

  • It’s been that way for the past 10+ years, internet sib.

    Corpo media’s all about the superficial and the addictive algorithms to keep you in the ad-machine. That’s why we’re here.

  • Our boi Broccoli Cheddar is getting so big

    Jump

  • Not OP but outdoor kittens tend to be a little crusty but usually they’re okay. Lil dude may also have seasonal allergies.

  • Waymo Pulled Its Cars From the Freeway After One Fled Police With Horrified Couple on Board

    Jump

  • ”never having to drive again”

    Y’know I can’t put my finger on it but something tells me that there’s an alternative to that without technofascist wet-dream robocars involved 🤔

  • What do I do now?

    Jump

  • Cry for human and/or skitter up the tree where human can’t reach?

    Or does kitty know how to jump down?

  • This is Bob. Bob looks neat!

    Jump

  • I love Bob. He looks like a sweet and friendly little soul 🩵

  • How ‘enshittification’ ruins the internet (and much more)— Feeds filled with AI-slop, Big Tech stealing our data and ads...ads everywhere.

    Jump

  • Stop using mainstream social media and keep adblockers on all your personal devices?

  • "THEN THEY SAID, WE'LL JUST WASH OUR CLOTHES! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

    Jump

  • I’m glad you used a picture of a tardigrade instead of whatever the title is probably referencing

  • Republican bill urges "deadly force" to stop abortions in North Carolina

    Jump

  • Inb4 this is clearly an excuse for men to murder their pregnant partners and wipe it away as “she was trying to get an abortion” so he can get off scot-free as dead women can’t say anything to defend themselves.

  • Neighborhood cat frolicking

    Jump

  • Kitty! The meadow it’s surrounded by is gorgeous. Glad the birds are safe.

  • What are some simple ways to boost your health and mood?

    Jump

  • Drinking a glass or two of water, stretching a couple times an hour if you sit most of the day and eating a vegetable at at least one of your meals. Also getting your face in sunlight for ~15 mins if you can manage it.

    It’s not zomg-cure-your-chronic-illness levels of anything but it’s a small baseline buffer.

  • doot doot

    Jump

  • thank mr skeltal

  • IT workers, which certs would you get that are quick to obtain in the help desk and general office IT expertise?

    Jump

  • In addition to what other commenters have said, A+ is easy enough to get, mostly focused on hardware and troubleshooting and if you’re looking at smaller-medium companies they tend to like that one.

  • He loves a good ear rub

    Jump

  • It’s so much fun when cats actively prefer ear pets (by their nature of course, not medical conditions).

    Kitty ears are so soft and warm and seeing them blissed out by the scritches is magical.

    May you have many more happy ear-scritchie times with your boy 🐱

  • X announces significant restrictions to free accounts; 50 posts and 200 replies per day

    Jump

  • Gotta extract more value from the reduced user base. Think Netflix. Plus, they gotta recoup AI “investment” costs, and the remaining people on Xitter are predominantly mouth breathing rubes.

    Add that to foresight only as far as the next quarter and it’s the most logical recipe for success /s

  • Have you ever experienced dissociation and derealization? If so, what was the experience like?

    Jump

  • Sounds also like Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, since you mention primarily having it during childhood. I had similar experiences but the derealization changed form as I got older.

    ETA: Looks like mono can be a cause of it - I had mono as a tot that lasted a couple years. Maybe you had similar issues?

  • 🥺🤬😾

    Jump

  • Fight mode is usually ears back, low to the ground, fur on end, tense muscles and accompanied by hissing/bapping. Tail tucked in or fully raised dependent on cat and whether they feel cornered or aggressive.

    Eyes half squinted, ears generally relaxed/lightly twitching with occasional tail swish is chill mode.

  • Existential crises are far older than the AI boom, but I’d agree that capitalist parasites do like to take advantage of isolation and despair for their own gain.

    Part of the “cure” (at least from my experience) is definitely touching grass and remembering that at the end of the day we’re a group of talking monkeys on a rock with a bunch of other living things and this line of thinking goes beyond what our little brains are meant to do. Abstract thought in excess short circuits us in a bad way.

    It’s okay to chill out and dumb down a bit. We don’t owe anyone “meaning,” and enjoying life where you can, however small, is a balm.
