My mother who does not know how to distinguish between science and pseudoscience:

It’s clearly your mitochondria creating less energy because your brain tells them to not do anything because you are lazy. You need to try. I saw an instagram reel about it!

(I have a known lifelong immune illness which greatly restricts my energy capacity but my mum says I’m not “being positive”)

They basically showed how authoritarian they are by banning (and later unbanning) a bunch of porn and Elon Musk critical subreddits as well as some transgender and disability related ones.

Yes, My friend,

When I was homeless,

I had “chosen” to be disabled,

“chosen” to live in a country where applying for benefits takes years,

“chosen” to live in a country where healthcare costs weren’t covered after I lost my job,

“chosen” to live in a country where the landlord’s profit was more important than my survival.

Thanks for the offer it’s really kind but I have everything I need with public torrents.

Could you explain what this is? A torrent aggregator?

I was using torrent galaxy.

Binding VPN to torrent client didn’t work?

Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.

I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.

 

Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

If Trump cuts social security, it’s euthanasia for me. I’m too disabled to care for myself and prefer killing myself than starving in the streets.

[–] Librarian@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Preferred to the original.

But real thing should be. Vote, it won’t change much, but it’s a start. If you truly believe in change, you should be doing much more, but never let go of the right to vote.

I was liking you until I saw this meme. I was about to subscribe to anaval.

I’m an anarchist and think we should seek to destroy the state. I also think it matters that while the state exists we should make it so that the least people possible suffer. By not voting, you are contributing to immense suffering.

Due to my memory problems I don’t remember most of what I read for long. But I really enjoyed a deep dive into learning about purpoises the other day. If you’re ever bored, or want to get through a commute, reading random wikipedia pages and seeing where the links take you is quite enjoyable in my opinion.

 

Posting from a throwaway. [TW contains a little bit of internalised ableism and touches on Suicide and Firearms]

I’m heavily disabled. Like can’t move or get out of bed type disabled. And sometimes lose the ability to communicate.

Anyways most of the time I’m happy to be alive. But the fact I couldn’t kill myself if I wanted to really makes me feel trapped. I take medicines given in a daily pill box, I’m IV fed water and food, and I can’t get out of my bed. There is literally no way for me to end it.

All I’m doing is laying here draining my family’s resources. I love learning, and most of the time that’s enough. But when the pain get’s really bad, or my disease starts to progress or worsen. I just want it to end. And not even having that option, or being able to communicate it, is terrifying. Like I could be stuck in an endless cycle of pain and suffering and not be able to let go even if I wanted it.

At the same time, in better periods I’m glad I’m alive. And if I did have a gun on my bedside table, I can remember more than a dozen moments I’d already have ended it. It’s like I only need to feel suicidal 1% of the time for my life to end if I have access to a weapon, so the other 99% feels glad that I don’t.

I don’t know what I want from this post. But I guess this is my message in a bottle. I needed to get this out there and throw it away.

If you’re here, thanks for reading. I hope your day went well. Peace.
