medical paranoia

I had a migraine out on the street yesterday and thought I was gonna die. All good after went home and had a nap.

The word "debate" reminded me something about myself.

I used to hate debates, or any variations of the word: arguments, or even discussion, to a degree.

Since childhood I cultivated an anxiety that people just don't like me and everything I say is wrong, even my personal values. So I'd get personal in debates very easily if I get disagreement from what I say. A reasonable disagreement in reality is supposed to feel more like a prod on my shoulder, or even just Link's fairy going "hey, listen!", but fear turns any disagreement into imaginary machine guns blasting at my way, and I have to put up some thicc bullet proof walls to protect myself.

I still have that anxiety on my low days and it's certainly not healthy. Frustrating to come across people who refuse to understand that psychology though.

If you post something on social media, you are explicitly inviting people to comment and share their opinions. If that is not your intent then set privacy settings accordingly.

Regardless if you post something and are offended by respectful differences of opinion, and go so far as to silence those opinions, then **you** are the problem.

If you expect people to listen to your views on blast without giving them the common decency to reply, and be listened to in return, its time for you to reevaluate yourself because you are likely the perfect example of why the world is falling apart right now.

Pro tip of the day: One of the most effective ways to distinguish between someone who is virtue signaling vs someone wishing to engage in an actual productive discussion about a difference of opinion is simple... just offer to move the conversation to private.

If they suddenly become silent then it was all just virtual signaling noise. If however they continue the conversation then they were truly after personal understanding for themselves or you, and thus are likely discussing the issue in good faith.

Works every time if you ever have doubts.

I think designer Kazuo Kawasaki knew the mid-90s better than anybody. Look at this jam.

Can you share your peertube link please? Will watch.

@tootbrute
Lowkey I really want to switch out of yunohost.

@freemo
I met 4am again but I went to bed at 10:30. I guess it's my cue to just sleep earlier

productivity 

@body@mastodon.social
I want to know too. I'm on a working holiday with a lot of moving around going on, never really staying at one place. I can't exactly do the same thing at the same time if I have a train to catch.

@Surasanji
It would be nice if energy is like, physically distributable. I could like, I dunno, sniff just 1% of your hypo energy to get myself going and do stuff.

@jonw
If this is from LinkedIn, I wonder what the conversations are like there around this image. Would it only have freelancers chiming in agreeing? Would there be anyone trying to defend "exposure work"?

@Absinthe
That's good to know. My mate also has dogs and they don't trigger me at all.

@jonw that image is looking pretty jpeg-y; here's a crisp version
