What a fantastic video, thanks for sharing <3

Just a real slice if life.

Knitting or woodcarving.

Both are cheap & easy to start and you begin with doing things that are useful.

You may end up in a more artsy trajectory or just keep at creating useful things.

Just a slow hug (or whatever equivalent you prefer)

Yes!

But also, now that I think about it a little more I think that it is also a problem with the interface:

having the button to the inventory in that menu, and not even as the first item, is kind of strange. Of the options in that menu I would guesstimate that I would use it to open the inventory 99,5% percent of the times I entered the menu.

Imho the inventory should be opened by a button in the HUD, probably by an additional square with an icon in the bottom inventory row.

Not sure… It seems that the correct¹ word is used, but I don’t think I have ever played a game with an inventory in my native language (which luanti picked up from the system default language) so I just didn’t think of clicking that button.

1: correct, as in used in other games for the translation of “inventory”

Thank you!

Was going crazy…

For some reason the word used by my languages translation just didn’t make me think of in-game inventory but rather of app+mods-storage on my device.

Should probably think about that for a bit!

Hello, what a fun initiative!

Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work on mobile (android) because I couldn’t figure out how to open my inventory (= no crafting, etc)…

I’ll keep looking and if I find a solution I’ll post it here.

Sounds familiar, but I don’t really pay attention to health care professionals in that way, so I’m not sure :)

Wow, that was interesting… My eyes started to ache while reading that font… Like if I look directly at the sun or a very bright light or lightshow.

Fascinating!

(On mobile, ~15cm distance, I have some visual deficits that require glasses but I haven’t got around to get progressive ones or specific reading glasses as I mostly see alright in short dustances. I have something with the rotation - can’t remember the correct term - which I suspect had a part here)

Well, I’m sure these grey haired people would be more than happy to hike with you and introduce you (more or less subtly) to the people they have in their life of your approximate age and gender-preference.

As they are older (and not just more stressed) they are still used to help people meet “organically”.

Nvm, this was the actual definition, my bad. Stimming at wikipedia

I guess I had read it, but didn’t remember it, so it felt like an original thought.

Leaving this here, but might as well delete if that is preferred.

What 10 executive orders did he withdraw after issuing this one?

This is what I have been saying for a long time: The essence of being male is to not be female.

If we can’t manage to change that core value of practically all manhood (that I have experience with or talked about with people) there is little hope for sex & gender equality, equity and justice.

How? No clue!

I admit, my reply does not truly fit here but I think this is the best place (in the current state of this topic) to make a point I think is important and difficult to navigate

I do think individuals state of mind, intentions and actions are the way to bring about change but I also think it’s important to not fall into consumerism-patterns.

Like how recycling or buying an electric car is pushed as a solution for climate change when what’s needed is global cooperation and policy change wrt resource management.

The positive individual actions we can take do make our own lives and the lives of the people around us better and we get a stronger, more resilient local community.

By building that strong community we do get a platform to launch ourselves towards the greater society we live in to demand change either by reform or revolution (depending in what’s possible and/or most adequate).

See for example this Community building post in the Betterment and praxis community.

I’ve been thinking a lot about dignity lately. I don’t think I can define dignity well at all but I’m still pretty sure it has something to do with world peace[1] and a bright future for humankind.

As for how to do it, I don’t know, sry.

[1] where peace is not the same as the absence of military conflict but more like peaceful coexistence and cooperation.

I’m in favour of https://freesewing.org/ as part of a future rabbit hole for sewing clothes as the whole process to take all the measures and reading the rest of the material is really good info and provided me with an understanding I didn’t have before.

Also the license!

Hello,

Since I decided to get involved in your life I would like to ask how you’re doing and if there is anything related to this topic you’d like to continue talking about (either here or in private - I assume there are some kind of PMs on beehaw).

So, here we go…

My short list of things that seem to have turned things around for me:

• Finding 1 thing to have as a foundation for every day. 1 habit to get going. For me it works like a very basic routine (that I can anchor other stuff on) and also thermometer for how I’m doing. Somehow I decided to teach myself to make my bed every day. Roughly 6 years in I still have to think about doing it almost every time. And if I realise around noon that I haven’t made my bed it makes me realise that I’m having, at least, a bad day!
• Caring for something that is alive. I stumbled onto a cheatcode: I became a parent. But what really made the biggest difference was being able to keep houseplants alive! A child is somehow too obvious. I guess pets fill the same place. Or a neighbour that needs stuff from the store, whatever, just something that is alive that you care for in some way.
• This self-compassion workbook is what finally tipped the scale for me. While it seems to be easy for me to fall into depression at any point in my life, being aware of the idea of self-compassion makes it solo much easier to climb out.
• Going and moving around outside as often as possible. Walking, biking, swimming, skipping.
• Intermittent fasting has helped me a lot (I do the “easiest” 16/8), not to loose weight or whatever health benefits people ascribe to it, but to notice time and to make it harder to keep my food addictions going as hard (like stuffing myself at night after a whole day of not being able to get up from the sofa to eat).

And by “turned things around” I mean that I’ve managed to raise the floor of my personal hole enough so that my every day life actually kind of works. My economy is not wrecked. I have friends that call/text me to socialise and not only to keep tabs on me or check that I’m still around. I’m making plans for the future-future (so like 1-3 years not only for today or this week), stuff like that.

I’m not “cured”, I still get depressed for months some times, but it’s months and not years. And I let myself be depressed, for whatever reason there is this time, rather than bash myself for being depressed.

Sorry, this turned out more bloggy and preachy than intended. I hope you find something useful anyway :)
