I aim to be more human. I aim to be less apathetic as a human. Apathy grows, like a tree, and I aim to prune my own.

Having been the “checks all the boxes they say they want” lady, this actually kinda checks out.

Because in practice, it’s not what a lot of folks expect. Heaven forbid you make someone feel dumb by talking to them as an equal. So you get rejected (after putting in effort) for being what they asked for.

ApathyTree,

That was a really fun read. I lost some faith in humanity but it was the wavering variety anyway that comes and goes with the social tides. Tide goes in, tide goes out.

Legitimately I’ve been using Plex for years and had no idea it even had vr support.

I didn’t have those hardware packs, and probably wouldn’t, but still…

I’m not really sure what I’d use it for though… is it for porn, in this case? (Serious question) I can’t think of any other media that would support it and be on plex…

But also who shares their porn library with people? That’s weird.

Edit to add: they really suck at making their integrations known… like… if they spend time and money working on it it should be listed somewhere so you know you can try it if you want to, no? Like somewhere under settings, like idk that fancy empty plugin page? That used to have stuff and doesn’t now?

ApathyTree,

That would be so much easier to just load onto a laptop that runs the headset though, like…

But I get you, I just really can’t think of a non-porn use for it through Plex and while I’m sure there are some edge cases for porn probably, I don’t blame them dropping support. Doesn’t seem useful to maintain at this point.

ApathyTree,

Who?

ApathyTree,

Fair point. I guess I could see that being an edge case use. I had no idea they could do that.

Are 3d files easier to come by these days? Haven’t looked in years but at the height of the 3d craze, when the TVs were available (are they still a thing? Serious question since you have one), the files were hard to come by.

ApathyTree,

This seems like a really good time to test out some CRISPR adjustments… I mean if it’s going to die out anyway, may as well tinker with it now and see if they can reintroduce sexual gene transfer. Let it breed itself into robustness once more. Probably change the taste but that’s the price.

Having lived here most of my life and dealing with some of the traffic, yeah it probably is a challenge. Our drives are boring.

I try to avoid heavy traffic times so I can avoid reckless assholes. I’ve got a spotless record, and don’t use my phone when driving other than navigation, but have nearly been driven off the road or side swiped several times. Scary shit man.

But then I went to Indiana, by way of Chicago, and fuck was that terrifying. People weaving in and out of traffic with a cruise speed hovering around 80… So while our traffic is bad for rural, it’s not actually that bad. :)

Too bhe faaaair. Wischonshin hash sheveral ofthe the top drunkesht cities innn thse nashon. (just checked and We now claim spots 1-4 +6, 9, 10, 12, 15, and 20. I do not help this statistic but I don’t drive drunk.)

We apparently don’t care, as a whole. There are so many more bars than anything else in most rural/semi-rural areas because non-bar third spaces aren’t a thing. It’s just the only option for people to go to be social.

But we also have had a very regressive government for a long time so…

My next Va appointment is on a game day right around pitch… it’s going to be a nightmare getting there since it’s like right next to the stadium… 🙄 ima have to go 3 hours early just to avoid that shitshow.

But yeah, I don’t do sports things so idk anything about our tailgaters with a few exceptions (below), however I have heard Wisconsin fans travel well for all our teams, college and pro. It’s a fucking shame we don’t have a hockey team, I’d be all over that and know a lot of others who would too.

My exceptions are having been to packer opening day a few years ago, and going to the cotton bowl in Dallas Texas back in like 2014 or whatever it was. I’m not a sportsball sort of person, but the former I got free tickets because my partner briefly worked for the packers, and the latter we got $15 tickets and used it as a road trip excuse to see the badgers.

My people know how to food and beer and social around it. Sadly that’s all many of us know.

Probably because of the steep learning curve, especially for stainless.

I’ve been using stainless for years and I have a stoneware nonstick for cooking sticky stuff like potatoes and eggs. I just don’t have the skill down for those yet.

Also cast iron being cheap is kinda laughable. It’s really expensive, even though it will last forever.

It depends what makes you tick, and how much you care about a particular thing.

If you like learning a lot of superficial to mid-level information about a lot of things, diving too deep will naturally result in a loss of enthusiasm, and that’s ok. You only have so much energy for each thing to take.

But if you really enjoy doing a deep dive into one or two things, more extensive knowledge is the best reward for the effort, so it’s a self-reinforcing cycle.

I’ll never be the latter person. I’ll never know all the lore for anything, or know every model of machine or whatever. That’s not what makes me tick. I do tend to get bored when I know too much about a thing and learning more means engaging other people’s thoughts (books/media), or using math, or whatever boundary I don’t feel like crossing. But that’s ok, my enjoyment is from knowing a lot about a lot, not from knowing everything about a few things. Both are good and valid.

ApathyTree,

Alternate option - he was able to secure it and is making out like he can’t until the last minute to take in as much from his base as possible.

ApathyTree,

Anyone who would commit genocide for the sin of gaining knowledge and punish people for like… existing flawed as made…? Yeah no thanks.

I hear satan was cast out for like nothing potatoes and got to rule over the unsalvageable. That’s cool, why would he punish them tho…? Like a communist isn’t gunna punish another communist just because their oppressor and imprisoner wants that…? That’s dumb.

Scientists have discovered that the diaphragm is not the only body part that aids in breathing; the other will blow your mind.

You can fairly easily (with many routers) set up a personal vpn to have all your mobile traffic route back to your home network to use your pihole all the time.

Won’t work for like a work computer but all of your personal devices can go on it easy pie. Makes a world of difference, and keeps your traffic more private as a bonus.

ApathyTree,

You could give up, but then the wood wins, and really you can’t have that. What an affront to your ego!

No, the better course is to make that project regret crossing you, by learning where you went wrong and doing it better next time. Weep over that, glue marks! Learn your place!

In all seriousness, can’t help with your first question but I’ve fucked up more often than I’ve gotten things right, and it’s wicked demoralizing, but that’s the process to improve. If you were perfect at everything right from the start, where would be the fun in even doing it? No growth no challenge.

ApathyTree,

It looks way too warm but I’m sold all the same for the pockets of holding.

ApathyTree,

A building down the street from where I live has like 3 families with kids renting and they are always outside in a big gaggle. Like is the weather close to halfway decent? They are out.

I think because their parents are never around supervising them. But that’s about the only place with obvious kids. There must be more, but I have no idea where.

I also have to assume they probably do rotations, like watch/guard duty in the military, of control room and more active work, or it would get suuuuper boring real fast. Plus their skills would get rusty if nothing ever happened.

But maybe I’m overly optimistic.

ApathyTree,

If you don’t have a friend that is willing to raise social (and maybe literal) hell on your behalf, do you even have friends?

Captain Jack Harkness (doctor who, multiple seasons starting with season 2-3 or so of the 2008 reboot) is the media embodiment of this hypothesis.

They spell out very clearly that the time he comes from, they don’t have hang ups over gender and sex, they just do whatever’s good. So he’s very very openly bisexual and a bit of a slut with lax boundaries, because why not? Do what’s good. But he’s still masculine and appealing and a great character all around.

ApathyTree,

Probably asking overworked people from other stores to fill in under threat of job loss.

I don’t get the impression people who work there are cared for at all, and just people desperate for work.

The DG in my area isn’t like that but there’s like just the one so that probably helps. They have to compete with other actual stores here.

Sad, I’d love to steal shit again. But I’ll have to travel for that.

ApathyTree,

Omg that’s the best feeling fr fr. It’s so hard to be a social human adult woman (platonically).

So proud for you!

Tell me more about this therapy you’ve finished training for. What led you to it? I assume you have like medical credentials of some variety?

(I’m a science communicator, so don’t feel weird telling me things, I’ll ask for clarification if I don’t understand something! Please info dump.)

ApathyTree, (edited )

😅 that’s very flattering but it’s just a lifetime of knowing myself…

I was dx adhd at 5, medicated much too heavily until 13 (my current dose is half of my dose when I was half my present weight), when I removed myself to try working my own way through stuff… served military and got a college degree. Now in my mid 30s I’m a disaster! I got rediagnosed and remedicated. I have a 9 month supply because I don’t actually take it except when I need to do -one thing- and then it’s magic. For a day.. It’s way too intense for daily use for me though.

I’ve always known I had different needs and maybe that makes it easier for me to work with them? I have so many things I want to do so if I come even close that’s a win.
