    1915 Lemmy lib: “God the German propaganda on .ml is intense”

    The propaganda: Peace pls yes-honey-left

    Any info I encounter contrary to the interests of my preferred empire must be the work of the dastardly Foreigner. If the other side wanted peace they should simply unconditionally surrender imaginator (skull can barely contain brain of this size)

    And if they won’t, we Ukrainians must be willing to give up their lives in a total war until victory (which is going well and good and can be expected to end in that outcome)

    Russia’s terms have been quite clear since the beginning of the war: a neutral, non-West-aligned Ukraine and the official ceding of Crimea and the breakaway republics. Even regardless of how you feel about those issues, how does it benefit you or the average Ukrainian to keep fighting over this? It is such a pointless, devastating loss of life over shit that obviously represents larger geopolitical issues for the West and Russia while Ukraine is turned into a literal wasteland (omg and the Ukrainian side has been financed by massive Western loans doomer, even if Ukraine “wins” they are gonna be fucked when the creditors come for their repayments after the war which is intentional ofc, will probably result in even more IMF austerity plans and poverty)

    Idk, maybe the Ukrainian side could get better terms (they def could have earlier) but they have just refused to actually negotiate (beyond telling the world how “open” they to are it lol) and have taken your total victory position. Ofc there is so much more to say but yeh


  • cw: dysphoria and suicidal thoughts mentioned

    cuddle Not beating the sweet person allegations rn smh :3

    Am feeling a bit better health-wise. Still have the permanent eye blind spot thing and it still makes me quite doomer to think about but I’m coping, I guess I can live with it (it is quite small tbf, I can cover up a word with it if I close my left eye and place the word in my inner peripheral vision) even if it makes me feel like… I’m already dead somehow. They gave me Vyvance for my horrible ADHD recently and I now feel less like a corpse and more like a person that can sometimes do things when the spoon-count permits lol

    And I think the enby-worrying stuff has been/is mostly repression for me (been boymoding rly hard lol), that has also been a bit better in the last month

    Am glad my support during the feelings-posting times is appreciated

    have languished that my internet homie is having issues i’m powerless to help with

    Sameee, was sad to hear about your recent brief relationship not working out :(

    Btw, and sorry if this brings up bad feelings, on your long-term partner not working out: I have been both the person who lost interest and the person who still had interest in a romantic relationship with someone who lost interest and wanted to talk about it a bit. My situations were much messier compared to my impression of yours (could be entirely wrong or forget details tbf)

    Like my losing interest also coincided with interest in someone else and this sounds probably as bad as it was but then it become a “”“”““poly””“”“” (am so sorry poly comrades) thing for a minute (actually wasn’t my idea unlike the way this typically goes aaaaa, we both had an interest in this person, both had something with him for a bit, but then it all went bad :( ). Idk we were all much younger and inexperienced but we’re all on good terms again

    And the person losing interest in me (who actually was one of the people involved in the previous thing, omg this sounds so bad, I guess cuz it was, I rarely explain this to people) rly hurt for a while but it’s okay and I’m glad he ended it with me rather than let it go on any longer and he remains one of my best friends :3 although we did lose touch for a bit until recently cuz of all my health issues stopping me from living my life (I do still have occasional dreams about these heartbreak feelings but they don’t bother me consciously anymore at least lol)

    I feel so bad about some of my actions during all that, cuz at a certain point it just became cheating :(, especially how I hurt the person who I ended things with but have tried to make amends since and we are bffs again too

    Idk, my point with this is that for a long time it all felt like a massive mistake, like all of it meant nothing in the end but I realized some time ago that it isn’t true, is just my current feelings influencing my memories of those times. There were lots of bad moments ofc but we still had many more good moments, even if it ended eventually. I definitely should have ended things sooner (it’s complicated and I don’t want it to detract from my point or my harmful actions but he did say for a while that he would kill himself if I ended things :( ), and the person who lost interest in me also should have… but like, I saw yourself call yourself dishonest with yourself and a coward in one of your feelings-posts but real cowards never end things unless the other person forces them to and the whole thing explodes. It all looks much easier in hindsight but regardless you, me, and the other person I mentioned did eventually figure out what should be done and did it :/ And that those periods of our lives still had value

    The other thing is (not asserting that you do this more than the usual, healthy amount but this is becoming a journal-post, fuck lol), and I find myself doing it sometimes, especially in the past, which I am trying to combat, that it’s cathartic, simple, and soothing in a way to have a reductive conception of yourself as some kind of bad person. Like for me: “I was doing cheating and X which are other things, only bad people do cheating and X, therefore I am a bad person and deserve nothing but the very real suffering I experience and worse until I die”. It’s comforting to just give in and stop struggling with yourself and your life-conditions (suicidal thoughts are like this/part of this too ime) but, at best, it ends up just preventing you doing better or, at worst, gives you an excuse to lean into your worst aspects. That is primary but secondarily also (you have to be careful with this one especially when considering other people who could hurt you) is that everyone is deserving of dignity and happiness, at least imo (this also exists on a scale in my head from like… Hitler to uhhh the ideal New Soviet Person lol). Idk, is like if Puyi (last Chinese emperor, collaborated with the Japanese) himself, with the communists’ help ofc, can fix Puyi, doesn’t that mean anyone can in the right conditions? For me this exists as some kind of contradiction in my head between the desire to give up and die (possibly by suicide) and to keep fighting and struggling to be better and help make a better world even if that just means I can be a positive influence in people’s lives

    Sorry for that whole mess, I am still trying to figure all this out to this day lol (I guess it only ended like 4 or 5 years ago). I hope you find it interesting or helpful to think about at least maybe <3 (I have a very hard to break tendency toward apologizing for my existence)




  • We may just be internet randoms to each other but I have seen you around since I joined this site, read a lot of your journal-posting, so much to the point of me having a conceptualization or something of you as a person lol (and ofc we have talked sometimes when I have the posting-energy), and I think you’re a cool and sweet person who deserves to find love in this lonely ass world we’re stuck in rn and I really hope you can meow-hug I have no first hand-experience with them but omg it seems like you’ve had some particularly bad luck with the apps or something or actually maybe they really are just that shit lol

    I hope you have a good, or at least hopefully significantly less sad-feeling, day off work too :3

    Is maybe kinda weird how much about the lives of niche internet forum posters I remember hehehe, as important as the people here are to me I often feel apprehension about expressing this cuz I worry about making people uncomfortable possibly

    If you like Unixy editors, highly recommend also looking into acme

    Russ Cox describes it in this video as more like an “integrating development environment” as in it works with your surrounding operating system rather than an “integrated development environment”

    Doesn’t shine as much on Unix as in Plan 9 though. Also no linter or formatter built into or distributed with acme but you probably could get your language’s usual tools to work pretty well with it
