  • The only way leftist will win any political ground is by winning allies

    Screaming down every person who you have a disagreement with politically will only solidify their dislike for the people you claim to represent

    It’s funny to me seeing you claim that the other people lack awareness and empathy when you seemingly fail to grasp that people don’t enjoy the way you are portraying your political views





  • Bit of a silly question:

    I got quite the overkill server‡ for free‡‡ a little while ago and I’ve been struggling to find stuff to do with it

    What kind of stuff do you self host?

    Basically all I’ve got currently is TrueNAS Scale running on mine and it feels like a bit of a waste just running that.

    ‡ My server is from 2012 but it’s got dual hexacore Xeons (can’t recall exact model), 192GB of RAM, and about 40 TB of storage in Raid-Z2. The storage came from my old crusty NAS, I didn’t get that for free.

    ‡‡ Well mostly free, I was told I could have it if I got it out of they’re garage which took about 2 days.



  • I’m primarily on my Blahaj account but I’m currently using one of my alts as Jerboa is crashing when I try to log into my Beehaw account (which requires me to clear the app storage to switch accounts) and Blahaj is currently having server issues again.

    Personally I dig the vibes of the Blahaj folks

    Mostly I sub to communities all over the fediverse, though this alt is a bit more bare as I mostly keep them separated in terms of where I interact.





  • I personally paint mostly 3D printed minis for DnD and the occasional statue so YMMV

    I typically use black primer with a sprits of grey from above to kinda act like an initial highlight layer.

    Or just black depending on the model.

    A big part of the primer IMO is that it gives a base coat and shadows for hard to reach places.

    Happy painting!


  • I live in the area and love to hike the hills around here.

    Helens is beautiful but I think Mt Adams is my favorite. There’s just something about that mountain that calls to me. Mt Hood is pretty cool too but it’s a bit too busy for me.

    I really dig the absolute isolation of the area between Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens, and Mt Adams.

    I’ll be sure to post some pictures from My Adams soon… When I can get to my favorite trails. There’s still a bit too much snow around a few of them.

    Last year at this point I built a snowman on one trail and went home before I got too lost out there.


  • Picture an 4 way intersection.

    For me every single car just went about their way all willy nilly like it was nothing.

    Occasionally a semi hauling triple trailers flys through grinding every else to a halt when everyone is trying to get through.

    There’s no order, the lights don’t work, and almost no one wants to yield.

    The cars were ideas, things I saw, and things I needed to do. The semi is my latest hyper obsession. The non functional traffic lights were my ability to regulate my thoughts.

    When I took my meds it was like the lights started working suddenly. At first they were really strict, one car at a time like a highway on ramp. But then things amped down a bit as I got more used to the meds. I even went up to 60mg atomoxetine from 40mg where I started as things ramped too close to chaos again.

    I hope that made sense.




  • For me I have the urge to stand up but I can’t bring myself to on many occasions and beat myself up about for too long.

    It’s gotten easier to stand up about things since I started taking meds.

    In fact thinking back on it since I started my meds I’ve stood up almost every time.

    Honestly life has gotten so much easier and better since then it’s kinda crazy.

    I wish I had gotten around to scheduling the appointment sooner.

    Honestly I think you might be right

    Since I’ve started my meds and some behavior changes along with them I have only been late 3 times, all traffic related. And I still managed to get stuff done those days.

    Those first few weeks though were pretty damn stressful as I was suddenly finding I could manage my time.

    Before getting diagnosed, the running joke was that I’d be late for my own funeral. I even joked with my family that in the event I did pass to have whoever brought my ashes to the BBQ to show up fashionably late in my honor as one last joke.
