Live Truth or Lies more often ?

The value of life is what value you give others

#Ubuntu #phrase #WayOfLife #Being #Humanism

3 Main reasons / similarity in how people use things:

1/ 💻 NON-HUMAN #interaction

💻 ➡️ Head- down coding?
Near-100% screen life? Mono-work?... tweaking, installing, reloading, adding, add-ons etc, re-installing windows to a certain degree but on a better #windows ?

2/ ⏲️ HUGE #time dumps or "time investment" / projects

⏲️ ➡️ Time dumps because measurably you have time voids at the end... often nothing actually comes out of the things and what we might genuinely want to happen but doesn't.
Apart from using it it's just usage of computers (even if you do a bit of good consider it's nothing ,much added humanly or solved as far as the human condition or psychology of "bettering people:" or "caring"... (which I understand nobody wants to do like kids deferring / delaying their responsibility or homework of life).

3/ 🙍SOLO #WORK mostly
🙍 ➡️ You're mostly in your room or office without interacting with others and even losing your ability to talk to others from lack of #human #practice / have been trained / paid to become distant.

🙍 ➡️ (e.g. short text comms only, expecting others to be succinct instead like a computer instead of human-expressive 'horrible syntax' and instead have signals become expected operation commands rather than sensitive / empathetic being and feeling with others towards solving humanity to some degree, humanly.

🙍 ➡️ i.e. Humans solve humans, not computers or robots and there's no avoiding or delaying that.

=====================
SUMMARY -
SO A LOT IS MY OPINION BUT....
=====================
Go ahead, load up...

While accepting some unsaid parts here are _maybe_ doing "good" it does sound like me when I asked my parents to get my first computer "you can do so much" abd yes sending helpful emails etc is part of it too and good... but still a lot has been too mixed in (like check mail on a playstation) and constant distraction (like being on internet itself to some-extent) forgetting what we loaded up to do constructive to us or others... lots in tabs as the games.

It's like we're still teenagers but with slightly better brand / labels.
I understand #Linux is an #OS and #Playstation a graphics orientated #console (with an OS also) but the behaviour and operation mostly similar to how we use a computer - basically doing really similar... for arguably similar outcomes... to spend time.

I do respect the whole ground we've all made to some extent... some job... but feel like everything can become computer orientated is a problem left unchecked, like another bad habit (see above list again and answer honestly yourself even if you don't).

This is self-check somewhat but feel free to tell me what you and others are doing more than a kind of " #TV time " as #Computers and #Computing.

💻 ⌨️ ⬅️ ---- ➡️ 🎮 💻 ? ❓

💬 "It's too much to change"
💬 "I don't have time"...
💬 "I can't do anything about that"...

And while time is needed to think about things etc and even accept taking the long way around to solve things, people who are too quick to say all the above have settled for allowing things to be bad too and constantly let them continue instead of being constantly open or attacking to find a crack.

Like it or not this lack of looking is somewhat part of the problem too.

We people (#autism / #Neurodivergent or otherwise) can't stand or allow that like a mechanic who knows you can't ride around with leaks for too long, and can even admit they are not a perfect mechanics either, but we all MUST try (and not just try in one way or mono-work as that's part of the non-cross-pollinating solutions).

Else we leave it to others to crap on.

This "being crapped on" position is much more evident then any of our 'bad work'.

The average person simply doesn't want to take on the sort of things and even get pissed off at others asking them to be more responsible in life!

🔁 🔃 #Life #SelfFulfillingProphecy 🔁 🔃
#WhatGoesAroundComesAround (and what doesn't go around often also comes around less often)

But at the same time it's hard to survive whole-truths or being too deep in 1 way constantly.

It's like facing the horror humanity at the same time as trying to make friends.

A rant can feel like it's directed personally at friends and feel like having wheels without grease that people want to instantly throw away, but after a rant things can instantly return to normal (IF they can ride the noise for a while). And then back to the normal greased-wheel fun AFTER.. Not many can stand these frequent "test"

For us the "un-normal" or those the less hiding ourselves and less burdening others in this crazy world, we are trying to repair or help in the over way, where many opt out of trying at all... because "it's too much change" and "I don't have time" ETC whereas we can't stand or allow that self-fulfilling prophecy and can even admit we're not perfect but we MUST try else leave it to others to crap on.

So too much truth can kill things between 2 learners of life... but that's life too.

Both outcomes are actually not bad as a little test of friendship is natural to come about but at the same time having lots of non-deep friends can help too be less sharp...

What do you prefer ? Do you think your friends will be actually stay there even if you say something bad or do the worst things?

I have to accept for example that I don't have too many friends as I prefer working on true things in life rather than false daily life of "business as usual" uncaring state (etc)... rather than cover it up...

This for me all connects the little things we might know about #AuDHD #Autism #ADHD #Neurodivergent people or just characteristics more in some spectrum than another but all should be good because generally:

➡️ We care a lot and often (often 'too much" for others)
➡️ We put certain aims above all else

And for some people it's not good enough to be put 2nd on the important list or be less the focus but in a way those 'other things' are caring for others though people can see friendship as possessions. It's not. Life is for sharing... good and bad.

#Quote from Judge Deborah Servitto

"Mr. Bailey complains that his rep is trash 🗑️
So he's seeking compensation in the form of cash 💸
Bailey thinks he's entitled to some monetary gain 📈
Because Eminem used his name in vain 😏
...
the lyrics are stories no-one would take as fact
They're an exaggeration of a childish act
It is therefore this court's ultimate position
That Eminem is entitled to summary disposition."

Pretty smooth by the #Judge to do it in that way serving the resulting #Justice and a #Rap at the same time!
