@[email protected] Perfectionism mixed with imposter syndrome perhaps? These values are driven from our neoliberalism. Instead you might turn to think that offering a contribution to the community, however small or imperfect is valued, and could give others the inspiration they need Take care fellow human!

One of the consequences of this is that you never want to put high status people in charge of anything; you want to have someone with a low-status background, familiar with necessity and less delusive about the power of narrative, organizing anything important. Another consequence is that faith, where someone will die for their beliefs, has a mutation where someone may or may not be willing to die for their beliefs but they consider it to demonstrate their piety when you die for their beliefs.

Epic epithet? Epictetus yeeted epic titties yet tidy titles picked titanic footholds.

Is this poetry? Idefk. My back hurts like a ficker and I am in no mood for this groups presentation.

Who ever heard of a misanthropic counsellor?!
How the fuck am I supposed to therapise people when I hate socialising with exhausting allistics?

Eh but what else can I do. The DWP refuses to accept the concept of disability or chronic, body-destroying ableism, so they'll come for my benefits sooner or later.
This is more interesting and creative than any other option apparent to me.

Just wish I were in a better state to handle more than the likely 2 clients per week I suspect will be my maximum.

I ate way, way too much last night and am keenly aware of precisely where my bile duct and pancreas are.

It was a solid 9 hours ago and I still feel disgusting.

At least I got to have that horrible, amazing plastic nacho cheese again.

Christ my fucking back. It's like having a metal bra band sit 5 inches too low, and only tight at the back and sides.

Doin me a cunting discomfort, I tells ya.
I joke, but I couldn't speak rn if I tried.

The small thermal printer takes 53 mm width or smaller, so “A9 size, 37 x 52 mm, 1.5 x 2 in”.
The big thermal printer takes Legal (216 x 356 mm) or smaller.
For context, A4 size is 210 x 297 mm, 8.3 x 11.7 in. (Width is the only important part tho, tbf.)

Wait, wait. You can add numbers together to make new, better numbers.

What if I used a bunch of narrow sticker rolls in the big printer?! It’s foolproof.

216 / 53 = < ~4, so if we model a cat as a 10 cm point sphere with no air resistance, I could print

Fuck. I have no idea how long the goddamn roll goes because most people don’t GAF about dimensions or parameters that make sense because the last generations of parents and math teachers were traumatising and shitty.

Great.

You’re not just a meat mech; you’re also a colony ship!

Omg. Mitochondria are the influencers of the cell.

But yeah, wild idea somehow. “Pushing people past their limits is damaging.”

IDK why we keep having to explain this to people though.
Just let people live and stop demanding ever more efficient productivity, as if “laziness” both exists and is a marker of a “bad” person.

If you harm people, sure, that’s a bad behaviour I would personally like you to avoid and reduce. But you can harm people by ‘efficiently’ choosing to deny meeting people’s needs.

Oh yeah, filter your air. Check your Indoor Air Quality, IAQ, if you can.
Another benefit (probably) of wearing a mask or respirator, besides fewer infections and less sun exposure.

(You do still need SOME sun exposure, if you are not allergic to it. Important for vitamin D usage and probably some immune system shit, idk. I’m not a sunologist!)

Anyway, headcanon prediction:

The next New Age woo-woo faux science cult will be in service to our Shinji-reminiscent, possibly-reluctant meat mech pilots!

My siblings are cute. I may get a cat.

Cats are also cute.
If using similar definitions of the term, then I could assign an applicable standard unit of cuteness to compare parameters of each cuteling per relevant context.

Cutescence? Cutelons?

Mx Verda Dec 18, 2024

Were I to try quantifying the amount of cuteness in a given cute thing
(like my siblings, or a cat, or two friends hugging after an argument and heartfelt conciliation),
what could be the possible counting markers in Japanese?

So for a sentence about 4 books:
4本冊が　何「本 / 冊」　ですか？
and then about 3 cats:
3猫匹が　何｢匹｣　ですか？
then about 2 (cats’ worth of) cuteness:
2猫のかわいいさが　何『？』　ですか？
