Counterpoint: How will dialectical materialism be integrated into quantum physics
Can you survive without other people, like can you be alone for awhile and get on with only your own company?
Therr’s a saying that if you cant be alone with yourself, you should learn to do that before partnering up. There are no guarantees in Life besides Death, Taxes, and at some point you will likely be alone whether sooner or later.
Best to address that while its easier to adapt. Nothing wrong with seeking out others company and friendship/love but they cant necessarily give you all that you seek with perfect uninterrupted continuity always.
There are times you will be alone regardless of the reason and you do a massive favor for future you to be adept at handling yourself in dryer times so you dont introduce ill-fitting substitutes into your life out of a simple inabillity to be ok with yourself.
Friendship as adults is difficult and any healthy friendship requires accepting each other as is provided everyone is respectful of each others qualities or preferences and not overstepping each others boundaries and limits but also that uncomfortable aspects are transparently bought into where it doesnt compromise their authenticity or yours
If you decide that you want an older partner or that is whar you have determined you are attracted to and feel for, that should become non-negotiable in terms of how you live your life and the people you allow in to surround yourself with.
Contacting your old friends who seem to have not made an effort to stay in touch or even in mutual good graces likely isnt going to change their minds or allow you to be authentic without unnaturallt compromising your standards for people who dont seem to respect even you in the first place, much less any personal detail that is incompatible with any notion of respect for you that is possible in the future. That is a sin you would perform against yourself and it has consequences that lead to you self-denying when you feel others require it to keep what is only ever a probabillity or chance for their continued association and engagement.
Not a healthy lesson I dont think. If you need something or someone, get a dog or a cat that will love you unconditionally and help you avoid loneliness in the same way people eat at the Costco foodcourt before shopping so their desperate hunger doesnt lead to them making decisions based on immediate urgency rather than what is truly necessary, useful, and sustainable—or that which they actually truly know they want and it makes sense to buy.
Don’t fall for all the pick-me-too products that dont generate value or that dont value you in turn. They cannot be of value to you in this light


Ha!HAAAAA!!!
What is at the heart of needing to keep the door open tho? Is it purey the cats to the point you can make them a catdoor?
Not siding with the landlord, theres a realoty where landlords hold a ton of economic/legal/political power and they can really fuck you if you dont pick your battles.
Hope someone has something for you


Substack is less explorable tho, the beauty of Reddit is you can search any keyword for a subreddit and its basically guranteed to exist or not far from easily predictable variations therof.
I never found I wanted to go too far from the current q&a or tutorial I was searching for specifically
Their search algorithm cant be worse tho, I’ll give them that. Reddi’s is absolute dogshit, its only saving grace is how you can search in the specific subreddits to shave off more keywords that would otherwise pollute or overcomplicate your results
Yeah, like support underdogs but be realistic, you cant pay for everything and everyone unless you’re unusally well-resourced so respect your own constraints where they exist.
And thats just music, are you planning on remaining internally consistent and limiting the breadth of access you could otherwise have across all the modalities like TV shows, movies, books, courses, audiobooks, etc??
Your consumption does not hurt them, the stuff you would pay for anyway just do that but i think i can live with myself for downloading Pink Flloyd’s discog or the complete cartoon series from childhood lol
Download it via torrent, thats your best option. It takes time to build up a sizable catalog but it helps you can download entire acts discographies one fortuitous swoop here and there
Paying is basically antithetical to privacy, I only do it for the essentials or what i cant otherwise obtain freely


Honestly, it would be incredible if they tried their hand at the Reddit/Lemmy format, the Twitter shit never grabbed me


Nice, any more specific yet universal things underlying that? Like are you cool with talking about a direct experience where something was though or said by someone and there was a “clicked”-moment?


Huh


But What have you learned?


Whats that?
Isnt GrapheneOS partnering with Motorola or something? I read about it a few months ago i think


FileBrowser is a good a more private option well. Neat little file manager


Feel that


I use those for Hue light stuff
