Fairly momentous day for me today. Feeling pensive and quiet as a result.

Today, I intentionally let my nursing registration lapse. That is, I am now no longer a nurse.

It feels bittersweet. I was ready to let it lapse. I’d had enough. I’ve spent the last 7 years (and 3 years prior gaining my degree in nursing) working as an A&E Nurse (ER nurse to you yanks) and of course the last few years really haven’t been kind. (1/5)

Have they considered, well, you know… gestures vaguely all around

multiple wars
climate catastrophe
sea bleaching
overfishing

“wildlife officials continue to search for what is causing fish to become distressed”

Hey! Just popping my head up again to say that if you missed me doing my rally streams or want a new one to follow, I’ve slowly started getting back into it again- with EA WRC. You can find me over at The Gamer’s Tavern Peertube instance ☺️

Here’s the VOD- which actually turned out to be more like a video I wanted to record anyway rather than a stream!

Little voice at the back of my head is telling me I want to get VR for my sim racing/rallying. But can’t justify the cost without having even tried it 😫

It’s overrated, right? VR racing is overrated yes?

Look, I love tech and computer stuff as much as the next person. But does anyone else hate how car interiors are just becoming a wall of screens and touch screen buttons? I can’t even hop on to my favourite game for a quick 5 minutes without first needing updates/patches for drivers, software, launchers and the game itself these days- cars are just going to join this mentality, aren’t they? Not to mention that you won’t actually feel like you’re driving anymore.

Great. My go to note taking app on iPad (for handwriting) has now added AI for very generic purposes and open ended and vague privacy statements.

What a shit show this is turning into.

Any suggestions for alternatives?

Seriously what is the obsession with AI and it being absolutely fucking everywhere? Like I know it’s a cool concept but can we just cool it a bit, jeez

Any here interested in watching or playing EA WRC/Rally?

Well, in The Gamer’s Tavern we’ve set up a club- and within that club we’re setting times across across real life stages and competing against each other and soon competing as a team. Would any of you be interested in joining in, or watching us complete the championships (currently we stream through our Discord channel)

Boosts if you feel it applies to your following would be greatly appreciated!

Whenever you try to speak to your Internet Service Provider about why your internet is broken

A comedy/spoof style “reporter” is interviewing a flat earther, who looks exactly how he sounds. You still want me to describe him? Ok- long straggly grey hair, knackered old baseball cap and something suspicious looking like a spliff in between his fingers. Like a really stupid version of Gandalf the grey.

Catching up on my Mastodon feed doesn’t feel anywhere near as exhausting as catching up on any of my other social network feeds did (Twatbook, Twatter etc). It’s great. I can get to the end of my timeline and feel like I’ve actually come out of a meaningful engagement rather than like I’ve ran a marathon through misinformation, vitriol and rage.

harrybo93, 7 months ago to random

Some people on my Timeline getting sucked into a tribe mentality over these wars.

Take a step back. There are human beings in this. Humans just like you and I are suffering and dying.

You are angry at the governments, on both sides. Do not group the innocent humans (INCLUDING CHILDREN I MIGHT ADD) on both sides under the same anger and hatred.

In light of the current ongoing events with wars all over the world kicking off, I’d like to share a blog post that I wrote. I’d appreciate it if you found the time to read it.

This is why I love our Gamer’s Tavern Discord channel.

I post that I’m going to be streaming that night at some point. They all immediately start reacting to it. Bastards.

I’m going to be on twitch tonight- 8pm (BST) if you fancy coming along- I don’t have anything major planned other than rally driving in preparation for the upcoming EA WRC release!

Going to be a chill and chat vibe as always, with the accompanying Group B car flying and tree crashing ☺️

Apologies for the Llama and Alpaca spam (I’m not) but it’s proving to be a source of comfort and relief for a few of us today. So why not eh?

harrybo93, 7 months ago to random

Here’s a Monday Alpaca. Pass it on.

Sooo, Spark email- the app I used for email has now just introduced AI. Nah. I’m off.

Fucking AI.

Everywhere.

Why do they call me Master Crasher? Why do they say I love trees? Well…

Fuck.

I’ve caught the No Man’s Sky bug. I think it’s pulling me in…

Damn you @thegamerstavern !!!

harrybo93, 8 months ago to random

Fuck Mastodon. Sod you all. You’re all savages. THE LOT OF YOU

harrybo93, 9 months ago to random

Soooo…

I will be live on Twitch tonight, for the first time in a while.

Given that it’s my first time back, I’ll make it more of a focus on chat, engagement and some cool cars/crashing given that things will probably not work as they should haha.

Be nice to see you there! 20:00 BST sort of time.

@MonaApp hey, am I missing something blindingly obvious? I purchased the Mona Pro Max tier with the idea that it’d work for family sharing but it doesn’t seem to be showing up anywhere- is there an option somewhere I need to select or am I just being stupid 🤣

I‘m finding the narrative over the Rhodes fires really distasteful to be honest. it all seems to be skewed towards the tourists. “tourists are stranded!” “people won’t be able to visit their favourite destination anymore, when can it resume?”

The Greek residents are losing their fucking homes and livelihoods you ignorant gits, fuck your holiday. Show some respect

What do you think happens if Jack Black and Dave Grohl ever meet? Would the meeting of two legendary human beings cause a rip in the space time continuum? Are there already precautions in place to avoid this?

“Dexter, walkies!!! Oh….”

A view out of my window, in which the rain is hammering it so heavily that you can’t actually see outside.
