ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

i want to study at a kiwi university

i will spell trail mix as scroggin and wear jandals on my feet. i would watch footrot flats on TVNZ all night while drinking a lemon & paeroa with a sheep. i'll have a mince pie every day that's worth 11 stupid dollars somehow. i would go to the wop wops every night. i am also more likely to meet JAFAs, Lorde, the director of Shrek and Sirocco the Horny Bachelorparrot.

i wish i was kiwi :(

Hello! These are my prev tags!

I unfortunately can't seem to find the exact article I was thinking of, but I've attached a couple of ones that are relevant and expand on a similar sentiment.

Don't call me Kiwi

Names matter, so we need to find the right ones.

What defines a ‘Kiwi’ – and who is allowed to bear the name?

We're obsessed with the term but there is uncertainty about who qualifies.

The Spinoff article gets more into the politicisation of the term and how it's been ill defined and weaponised against many groups, not just against Māori including under the current government.

But it's something that was discussed throughout my history courses as an undergrad and when I later tutored them in postgrad! I recall a Māori lecturer also railing against the term, particularly when it's used to portray the positive achievements of Māori as a national collective "win" that everyone can get behind, yet are conversely labelled and identified as "Māori" whenever something negative happens. This was also expressed by Tāmati Coffey several years back now (not to link a Stuff article 😒)

"If the individual attains success, Māori are escalated to 'Kiwi'. Because it's a positive story."

There's also a lot more to unpack (that these articles briefly touch on) around the history of colonisers fashioning an independent identity from that of England by utilising Indigenous flora and fauna, therefore actively attempting to Indigenise themselves, especially as second-generation settler colonial families overtake the number of first-gen colonists. This appropriation obviously has further implications when trying to assert land rights or claim Terra Nullius as in Australia, but I'm trying not to digress too much.

Hopefully this is a good start!

[crabussy]

thank you so so much for all of this!!! I'll give these a read [:

Do you have any advice for someone else who is in the very beginning stages of the "life is a precious gift rapidly escaping me, I have to change to become someone better and be happy before I've wasted all of it" transition? I'm tired of losing so much life and joy to grief and trauma and I also want to start creating and seeing and enjoying as much as I can for my tiny time as a carbon based lifeform but it's overwhelming to say the least

Actively seek out things that inspire wonder

Look for the good parts. There are good parts. There are interesting parts. There will always be good and interesting parts.

Treat yourself kindly. This one is difficult.

Do things out of ridiculous whimsy.

Practice cog itive behavioural exercises to self-examine and address beliefs and behaviors that are causing suffering.

Don't argue when people compliment you.

Don't rush yourself, and don't assume it'll be like this forever when you have a backslide. These things happen. Over time, they happen less.

Be honest with the people you love and trust.

Tell people how much they mean to you and what you like about them.

Help others and find satisfaction in being the stranger that did something good

Consider speaking to a medical professional, my antidepressants and anti-anxiety medical took some time to figure out but life is WAY better.

Have a silly little craft or hobby.

Let yourself be bored sometimes. Stand outside in the rain and let yourself get wet. Go on a walk. Put your phone in a different room and wander off. Meet up with a friend and go on a long walk together to nowhere in particular

Start doing things because you want to and it feels good, not just because you think it's something you should say yes to.

Say yes to things.

Take a random day of the week and go into a store or a business you've never been in before.

Compliment strangers when something about them is striking.

Read books and watch movies that make you feel the exact right amount of ecstatic and embarrassed, and make all the silly noises about it.

Collect scraps of fabric and little trinkets and all the little textures and colours you love and stash them in a shoebox or something like a tiny dragon's hoard.

Start a collection of something small and inexpensive. Like corks.

Make food with ingredients you've never used before

Make long lists of all your favorite things- flowers, bugs, songs, foods, places

Start a trash-book to fill with scraps of neat wrappers and bits of paper and colored fabric from old ruined clothes

Imagine yourself as a alien from a dead and barren world who has just arrived on this planet for the very first time and imagine how excited you would be by every little thing

Cannot recommend enough that you befriend a creature
