Incidentally, this is part of why I lean into karaoke. Singing helps so much with calming my nervous system, is creative (I love to 'play' w all kinds of takes/experiment), & can be done wo enshittified tech (though admittedly easy to cross that threshold too)

I personally have difficulty with this because I have always struggled with some forms of motor control incl hands. I do appreciate what gentle practice can do though.

Been seeing advice in autistic community that's a bit different but both interesting to me: They also recommend taking up a hobby with your hands if you are able to, though not even necessarily crafting... Could be the joy of solving a rubiks cube, is my own musing... (Deep focus = good dopamine)

It was pretty funny to watch. Too bad the guy trolling him's since decided to kiss his ass since they're both trump sycophants

Even though I've repeatedly tried but can't get on board w octopus, that still looks amazing & I definitely wouldn't turn it down if I had an easy opportunity to sample it ๐Ÿ˜…

Looks delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹ Did you include cauliflower? I can't quite tell if I see any in the pic. No judgements just curiosity

a colleague of mine from a previous job satirically suggested Bobby's gonna mandate cigarettes for autistic kids in airports, & it's hard for me now to unimagine him doing that

I remember the intern office at my first job used to be a smoking room, beautifully nicotine-stained until they tore apart that break room & rebuilt it

I don't how how/when we're ever getting away from enshittification, but I am curious to see whether any new alternative pops up down the line of that process that's built on the protocol... The idea there being able lift-and-shift contacts without much effort, unlike every other social media cycle

I agree with you. What's left of the 'echo chamber' argument is so uninteresting as to be almost meaningless too, like, yeah, all social media is gonna be that way to SOME extent. Sorta like making a statement that all people are self-interested

A void boy's been coming to visit my home increasingly regularly. He's clearly very domesticated, so I always joke he's got at least 3 families.

This tracks. My long-haired tortie girl is sweet, snuggly, gentle, & loving.

The void boy Bruce Wayne who's been visiting my home with increasing frequency is...oh all right, actually quite a good guy, he's rambunctious tho. Yesterday he starting clawing my shower liner for fun while I was working

kinda surprised I've never tried this (though most foods I'll try at least once). I dated a gal from Tokyo for a while, but natto never came up

Excited to have the opportunity for a much more seasoned colleague who's an Oracle & SS dba & dev to teach me more about linked servers with an Oracle backend at our org later this week! Grateful for the chance to learn from him, this is the kind of activity that makes my brain light up ๐Ÿ˜ #sqlfamily

though (also) not sun tzu, the related 'revenge is a dish best served cold' proverb similarly frames things
