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,

Since members are called lemmings, I’ve gotten into the habit of calling them burrows (referencing that actual lemmings live in burrows).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

There is a certain compilation of rules/norms (which I’m surprised so many people don’t know about) called The Ten E-cepts (written there in the style of the philosopher Philo) which were made for anyone who may be considered a frequent browser. Commandment three points to something vital, that there’s no measure for that kind of thing. Regarding this kind of thing, each person must decide the difference and have it held to them.

A funny but also sad story related to this. Now everyone has probably heard of the Guinness book of world records, which holds all the world’s records people achieve and was made because drunk nerds in the bars in the UK (hence its name) would argue about world firsts all the time (true story). So I mentioned how I have the world record for the most websites having signed up for, and I got a triad of people at one point say they discredit the program, which turned into an argument over the apologetics and counter-apologetics of Guinness. And at the end of the argument I said something like “to anyone reading this from the Tilted Kilt, drunk arguments may resume”, because apparently nobody is safe.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I did for a while, it ended right when Discord removed its username numbers feature. I used it to get a perfectly rounded-down number at the end of my username, among other things, though there’s not a lot I would use it for that I can’t live with or adapt to. On the topic of Matrix, I’m on both but think Discord is more savvy, and I use this everyday in my server which welcomes all people with friendly warmth and is suited for almost everything you might like.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

On Hypothesis, only someone else logged into Hypothesis can comment, if that’s what you mean. If you notice someone on there with the name ThisInstrumentalBreak, that’s me (you may notice me having used it to comment on this thread).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I must clarify one thing though for anyone reading this, it sadly doesn’t prevent browsers from crashing. Sorry to everyone who has Firefox or Opera as their main.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

The first and foremost thing that comes to mind is the wayback machine. It lets you archive and immortalize any moment in a website’s history.

Though I may be cheating a little here because it’s actually a toolbar, another obscure, highly useful “website” is the Hypothesis toolbar. It adds a comment section to any webpage merely by existing.

I don’t believe in excessive monitoring, but I also think it’s weird we think of the lack of observation as a fundamental right. Too much privacy, I think universally, is any time we go out of our way to guarantee/fight for it.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

The fact that it can be read so many different ways depending on the accent. I have a different accent than those around me, and it’s inevitable to feel expectations violated.

Apparently people also find it funny when I say the word “envelope”. “Hey it’s Leni, say envelope” they might say, maybe with me responding “guys, I’m not a freaking circus seal” like Jango Fett has a secret pet in denial.

Will human societies always enshittify themselves?

It seems society always goes down the shitter over and over following the same path. People rise to wealth and power extracted on the repression of the masses, massive disparity, ignorance exemplified, xenophobia and blaming minorities for any possible issue, laws signed with golden pens but becoming more meaningless when...

shinigamiookamiryuu,

People whose ability to back themselves hold water compared to their opponents. But the “without gimmicks” part is key. Of course you’re going to have people who win because they cheated everyone or stumbled upon the keys to victory by chance. Hence the first part.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Because misguidance is easy, natural forces are disruptive, and this thing we call mental health is fragile and twisty, total satisfaction will never be possible. The next best thing to do is to prepare, and that helps at least half of things. Fortunately victory typically favors the wise if no gimmicks are used.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

It’s not.

What I’m saying is if the people win out who tactically deserve it less, some unsung circumstance helped them.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

If someone is clear/consistent/understanding/honest/courageous with enforcement, the rest is subjective. These aren’t just any five random adjectives either, they are the ones that come to mind first (the first one foremost, which is why my server infamously has a myriad of listed guidelines). Can’t really do anything about the rest though. And sometimes you do have to remind people it’s your burrow (Lemmy equivalent term for subreddits) and cannot be blamed for any ban prescribed by the fine print no matter how abrupt it is.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Therapists used to be the most helpful thing in the world (or so I’ve heard), now they’re so unhelpful they have to rely on the state to get us to use them and have so many different indie-based projects and programs competing with them, like BetterTherapy (which isn’t bad tbh). The old joke is they’re paid friends but now I see they’re just paid, you could be in a genuine situation where something obliterates the quality of your life (e.g. custody battles) and they’ll be like “does lithium sound good” (which by the way, lithium is outdated by two thousand years, so if it’s recommended right away to you, run). The reason they’re not set up like lawyers where you only pay them “if you win” is because they know this would destroy them.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

People get paid for that?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Tell that to the therapist. I know they’re not supposed to prescribe drugs, but they definitely have the power to arrange that.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Some new twists on old names really captivate me, e.g. I met someone a while ago named Ianiel

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not really my cringiest because there were so many moments to choose from, but to use a severe one, every year in school, students do a heritage project. It includes things like recording physical traits (eye colour, hair colour, etc.) as well as ancestors and their nationalities and whatnot. Only, to this day, they never, ever, ever factor in that maybe someone was adopted. So imagine insecure me trying to charade the message to a teacher whose mind it never even dawned on without trying to get the classmates to know, all the while having to blindly progress through the assignment. The result? I ended up lying a whole lot on the heritage assignment, which went where else than on display and in the records like all the other work done on the heritage assignment by the classmates. Because it was a showcase.

I should clarify I know my birth parents and “met” them, but nothing beyond that. So, out of fears of getting a failing grade, I ended up creating a family tree that was a mix of stereotypes about myself, historical inaccuracies, and other things that only got worse because my sister was doing a similar assignment and put in a completely different family alternate history. Someone ended up worried and had a talk with my adoptive guardian about her authenticity, and I probably came close to being relocated again, or that’s what the anxiety would’ve made it feel like. Eventually, I was told not to do the assignment, but it was too late, I had made lies that were forever associated with me.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I sometimes hike in a town where people are absolutely obsessed with dogs, and they definitely don’t behave themselves most of the time. This isn’t always in an unfriendly way, many dogs just like people, but nobody even has dogs so much on a leash. There is a house near me whose dogs are way uncontrolled, and one day I walked past it only for four dogs to run out of their backyard to try to tell me to get off their lawn. The owner then apologized and scolded his dogs and asked them why they misbehaved. Well, for starters, you got time to train ten dogs?

Which brings up a good point, it’s always the dog enthusiasts with dogs that misbehave.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Maybe they accidentally put it in the wrong burrow (the Lemmy equivalent of subreddits). It happens. If things get carried away, you can also report something to mods. A report first goes to the mods of a burrow, unless they let it drift out of their hands and then it goes to site admins. Admins here are incredibly nice.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

None? A lot? The concept of debt is confusing to me because there’s a moral way to look at it and a legal way. Have I ever asked for a loan or favor I later didn’t pay for? No, I owe nobody anything. But legally, you have economic principles, like unnecessary medical expenses or ones which you didn’t know an action of your were accumulate, which are only debts in the sense that the law says so. I owe medical providers something like a few thousand dollars (which my legally recognized debt can be rounded down to) for things like this and this, and an online course I take decided to say I owe them without telling me, though they haven’t dropped me (yet).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Just what I’m doing right now. Not much else to do.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

The word prostitution comes from the word prostate though. Which nobody at my workplace has because we’re all women at the moment.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I would definitely interact more if there was more to interact with.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

My job and hobbies would both be affected, and I would be stuck in the middle of nowhere. Maybe a month.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I think you mean 180. 360 would be a full rotation, you’d be going from the dark side to the light side back to the dark side. But yes, it’s possible to change someone by overshadowing their bad influences. Good influences, by definition, have more influential potential.
