Yelling at people isn’t nice :c

That’s how I got my baby Giratina. But then I put it on my Pokewalker, and now it’s level 2 and practically worthless.

That’s a Lemmy problem, unfortunately. The links are all .ml links because that’s OP’s home instance, and (as far as I’m know) currently, there is no way to create instance-agnostic post / comment links. Compare https://lemmy.ml/post/19241099/13073901, https://programming.dev/comment/11773309, and https://pawb.social/comment/10354944. They all lead to the same comment (the one that says “Are they?” one level above OP’s), but the bit after the instance name is always different, and Lemmy doesn’t have a way to convert a “foreign” post or comment ID to a local one. There’s an open issue about this on github, though, so maybe this feature will be introduced in the future. If you want to save the comments on your home instance, the only way to do that is to go through OP’s comment history.

“Who’s a good little cat?”
“Me, I’m a good little cat :3”
“And what do good little cats say?”
“BEEP BEEP BEEP WHIRRRRFFFFTT BONK! VRRRRRRRRR”

I don’t mean to hate on rap artists and their fans, but the second half of this meme hits home:

The way reality falls apart in the reflection is very cool. I’d love to read the story behind that :3

Shep isn’t naked. He’s wearing a bandana. That counts as clothing uwu

It took me a while, but when I started getting into death metal, that’s what paved the road to hardcore genres for me. And I’m so glad that happened because I would’ve missed out on so much great music, so many fun nights in the pit, and some really cool shows with, like, thirty people there.

I never said you couldn’t uwu It’s actually very easy until you get to step 3!

1. roar
2. arson
3. feudalism

is a secret :3c

Same, except it was the local trve metal scene instead of punk. “If it ends in -core, I don’t like” was a common thing to say, and anything pop/rap/hip-hop wasn’t considered to be music at all. Even bigger metal acts, like Metallica, weren’t popular because they had “sold out.” The NWOBHM was all I lived for in the early 2010s.

God, I wish that were me

Animals and plants that glow like that are so cool! We live in such a magical world, and photos like this remind me that the magic starts right at our doorsteps.

Thank you, that’s a very kind offer, and I’ll keep it in mind when I run into issues like that again <3 As for the video, I ended up cheesing it by recording the preview window with OBS. It was a small (500 x 700) video, so I could just circumvent the whole rendering part without much of an impact on video quality. That’s a lesson learnt for the future, I guess.

The pasta story is definitely relatable. I’m still trying to find coping mechanisms for situations like that, but it’s hard because all the coping mechanisms that make so much sense when I’m level-headed just fly out of the window in the heat of the moment.

BI-SICKLE!

My brain feels so wrinkly after figuring that out :3

My biggest demon is my anger. If Dante’s Inferno were real, I’d end up in the fifth circle, where “the sullen (the passively wrathful) lie beneath the water, withdrawn, ‘into a black sulkiness which can find no joy in God or man or the universe’.” It sucks. It hurts me every single time. Just today, I spend three-ish hours working on a video project in Kdenlive, but there’s something about gifs that I don’t understand that makes it render all wrong (“Rendering a project with variable framerate clips can lead to audio/video desync” but transcoding into an edit-friendly format doesn’t work because something something GPU drivers). It’s a stupid little thing that I’m trying to make, nothing important, really (only to me, I guess), but seeing it all fall apart hurt so much. After two attempts to fix it, I ended up yelling at my computer. I took a notebook and smashed it against a sharp bit on my squat rack again and again before tossing it across the room. I don’t like seeing my neighbours because they must’ve heard me scream at least once by now. It’s weird. I’m not like this usually. But when tech doesn’t work and I don’t understand why, that makes me extremely angry. If there’s a reason, even if it’s a dumb one (looking at the nm-applet in Linux Mint), I’ll be fine, but when errors are hidden behind a veil that all the googling in the world can’t lift, that’s what triggers me.

This behaviour might shorten my life by a good bit, but idc. It also makes me sad every time. My therapist told me that I shouldn’t hold my anger in and instead use the energy it gives me to bring forth positive change, but I don’t think he understood just how angry I could get.

Idk, I’m just tired. Being silly online is a great distraction, but it won’t fix my life. Idk if anything can fix my life. My throat hurts from yelling. I don’t want to go outside or see anybody for a few more hours. I wish I could stop being so angry, but it feels like I”m fundamentally broken.

Sorry, I just needed to write this.

“Meow :3c” he said.

“Mrrrrrp… nyaaa uwu” he replied.

Then they fucked.

The end :3

I kinda like that tbh. I get to see a number when I post something, but when I don’t post anything for a while, there’s no big “total” number on my profile reminding me that I’m doing fuck all when I could be making art :3

Don’t penguins usually mate for life? What are you doing to this poor creature?? D:

Mrrrrrp meowmeow mrrrr~meoooooow meow-meoooooooow-meowmeow meoooooooow-- nyaaaaa crash
