@_lunawinters It's a very well made show but sure is very intense. I finished two seasons with my friend. Will start S3 some time in the future.

@freemo @inditoot @_lunawinters I have a friend. He couldn't finish college. He tried to do programming but constantly run into frustrations of poor instructions and lack of help and encouragement from his college. He spends most of his time playing video games and "running away from reality" that is his own future, let alone reality of the world. If he tries to face reality, all that greets him is the "reality" that there's no place in this world for him. No one wants an unmotivated "lazy ass" like him. He is not able to function in this society and likewise this society has no place for him.

And yet he is my absolute best friend. He talked me out of feeling worthless when I couldn't make anything work. He nudged me into game jams and gave me ideas for me to work on. He played games with me and helped distracting me on days when I feel like shit, not just shit about myself but shit about society and "reality". Everytime I slip, I got back on my feet because he yanked me out of "reality" and helped me experience a better way of life, proving to me that it is totally possible to feel better about yourself, and all the more proof that before you can save the world, you gotta save yourself first.

He's totally running away from reality, but in his case, I hope he won't ever have to face it. If anything, reality doesn't deserve his gift.

@freemo You've put a lot of hardwork into qoto. You deserve this achievement.

I just went through your profile and it sounds like you're vastly misunderstanding what fedi is. Like @freemo said, you can try an instance that do more content blocking for you, or mute instances that repeatedly offend you.

I saw Brave doing an IAmA in Reddit few days ago. They're definitely trying to make a come back.

@design_RG I haven't visited a liquor store in Scotland yet, but I imagine it's a lot better here than Canada, being the home of whiskey and all. Heck, supermarkets here dedicate a whole row for alcohol.

@design_RG Don't know if I have spirits at hand, but your mention of alcohol reminds me that I need to find mead here. They were hard to come by in Australia.

I keep the lemons around for health reason. I get throat infection very easily and often find myself having to consume crazy amount of vitamin C. However I've been once advised to down a shot of whiskey to kill a cold, and it actually gave a good relief - cleared my sinus and numbed any pain that was present.

@design_RG Honey lemon was the result. 7 lemons left now.

> yearns fruit juice

> blatantly ignores the 8 whole lemons in fridge

@mngrif Well you need time to start a campfire for them so if you have a schedule, it's not too feasible anyway. @freemo

@freemo Australian natives used to thrive on lizards too. Down under has some silly lizards that "look toxic" as their defense mechanism, but are completely safe to eat.

3 different missing people from Glasgow news today, yikes.

@freemo Back in uni I got this second hand book, titled something like "mathematics of line art in Adobe Flash". I wasn't using Flash, but I had an interest in 3D graphics back then and was going to learn some maths for the purpose of computer art from this book.

I eventually forgot and abandoned it. I guess I've ended up on different paths since.
