It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and deviantart.com/…/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impa… are pertinent to me.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Google Plus was run differently from normal Google or even YouTube, it wasn’t like Twitter where one voice comes to mind, one voice broadcasting themselves as the rep in any way.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Then you would’ve been in luck, Google Plus had no counterpart to, say, Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I thought Google Plus was amazing. It’s the only social media I would never foresee myself complaining about, even through its demise due to some politicians complaining about it.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Even Google Plus?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Google is less reliable but also different in ways that are useful when used in conjunction with something like DuckDuckGo or Ecosia.

Also, aside from political bias which I don’t pay devoted focus on except as a slight character flaw (not that I don’t reprimand them at all for this, just it’s their site), Google also isn’t a total scam. DuckDuckGo’s selling point to me, if it were true, would be “we don’t track you”, which is false because you used to be able to hover your mouse over a link if you had slow wi-fi (as do I, suck it hackers) and see the transition from the tracking cache. And Ecosia is only slightly better at planting trees than Established Titles, which is… sad? Kinda? And then there’s Bing, where do I begin?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

What was that bad about it? Most of the movies don’t even have plots.

shinigamiookamiryuu, (edited )

Put a list of Ursula Le Guin works on a wall and throw a dart at one of them. Don’t know which one you threw a dart at? That’s okay, because absolutely none of them have gotten good adaptations.

The only exception, extremely ironically given I’m saying this, is Tales of Earthsea. The first half is alright but I guess they lost their train of thought during the second act (their words not mine) and it became a Legend of Zelda story. Still not terrible though, I can’t understand why people hate on it when the same people love Ponyo.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

All of them. If it exists I’m on there.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Technically I can relate to the dreams thing but for completely different reasons. Dreams on their own are fine to talk about IMO (most famously as a conversation starter and I even help host a group set up for them), but once in a while you’ll find literal dream preachers (my first BF was one of these, coming to the meal table was a chore), and I might ask something like “will this be on the test”. It’s not some kryptonite, it’s just dull-ish for a lack of a better word, though I’m not singling it out either.

What are your experiences with polyamory, first or second hand?

I personally am in a phenomenally stable polyamorous relationship. I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years, and she has had the same boyfriend for about half of that time. It’s a really fulfilling arrangement for all of us in various ways. We’re all genuinely happy and satisfied. I’m kind of casually looking for a...

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not much. I’m what many might call a relationship anarchist and this can translate into polyamory, especially when QPR’s are a part of the equation (same with my closest friends but in a more meta way), but I’m not in any and never have been. I was offered the chance though because a classmate in middle and high school began aspiring to a polygamist relationship (LGBT relationships were already a thing and I guess my class got ideas) and managed to appeal to a bunch of other classmates. The core classmate of the relationship then had to move though (the family’s mom got a job somewhere else) and that created a weird sense of withdrawal among the participants.

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I upvote any reply to anything I say and everything I reply to as a way of remembering where I’ve engaged. The only exceptions are things with clear perspective-lacking malice.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

The real question is, which ones can I stand? Probably anything in the Whistlerverse is okay and even amazing, but other than that and GameXplain, the fandoms (GiancarloParimango11, ProtoMario, etc.), the bait (Matthew Santoro, Thoughty2, etc.), the quality (GameTheory, College Humor, etc.), and the sheer shallowness (Darkmatter2525, How It Should Have Ended, etc.) are too widespread.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Tchaikovsky. Currently listening to Borodin though.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

It’s difficult to explain if you’re not in their cultural atmosphere reading the room (in my case I have family from there). Outsiders can currently see propaganda show-offs going on, India is maneuvering thought in favor of Israel (one might say going against previous sympathies in the process) while Pakistan is covertly one of the strongest sympathizers of Palestine. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it’s the subtleties in the expressions that would raise the first alarms if an outsider begged for hints that something is about to erupt. I’d give it one to three years.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Well if you’re a time traveler, you’d want to remove the very first meme for maximum ripple effect, so prevent people from questioning Bielefeld.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Okay? Yes. Satisfactory? Meh. I know life circumstances have demonstrated they could be better than they are. I’ve lost a few people in life in ways that are particularly difficult to think back on. I go about myself normally but I’d be lying to say I could confirm the parts of my mind I may be neglecting have or will ever see itself as beyond all that.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I dream very, very infrequently, partially because of hypophantasia, partially because I learned lucid dreaming interferes with my sleep (it really isn’t that healthy), and also I’ve sort of stunted my dreaming. To explain, during a time when my outlook on the dreaming process was different, it used to be I primarily dreamt about people I missed. Such dreams were my glory, but then I’d wake up and the realization it was a dream once again would hit me hard.

One night I had such a dream, it became lucid, and I discovered that, despite being emotionally numb in real life which meant I have a hard time crying, in my dream I gravitated towards crying, and it felt unnaturally natural because I wouldn’t have expected it if I don’t gravitate towards crying in real life. It came to a point when I didn’t want to dream anymore, even if I never dreamt that often in the first place, so I pushed my ability to do so far, far away.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I used to use Protonmail, but many sites would invalidate it when signing up.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Because I like participation. And because I moderate.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I cannot speak for the nations of the world, but I would think if someone could help them they would. Every time someone takes over a place, there’s always the issue of cleanup. Notice that, despite being nearby to Russia-controlled Cuba, US-controlled Puerto Rico, and several commonwealth entities, not even the control-loving Russia will jump at the chance.

I have suggested (though only out of it being so dire) that Elon Musk could use his experience as a South African billionaire to help them, though in any other situation I’m aware that might come off as a terrible idea.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

This one, Reddit, and Tumblr.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

There’s the feature on there where you can make groups for other people to post on and I currently help manage eight of those, plus my personal account I use for art and talking about stuff. Despite first impressions, not everyone on there follows the stereotypes, it’s relatively pleasant.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Google Plus was incredible while it lasted.

Then Europe happened.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

If I learned something doesn’t change whether it was worth it, which is first instinct to ask. I’m not feeling it.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Years ago I might’ve said something like school or overcoming my setbacks, but if that were the case, it’s less so now because my mind no longer squares the view that they’re challenges with the view or understanding that I would not wish many of the things I went through on anyone, if it ever did. Can you imagine going through things you were never meant to go through while people watch silently and measure your self-worth based on your success in endurance as if to imply the moments that haunt you forever were all a game and one you wanted to play?
