Negative thoughts, advice wanted

Sensitive content

in reply to Melissa Santos

Negative thoughts, advice wanted

"just mad at myself for being upset and then feeling bad."

Been there. As a sage friend of mine once phrased it: "I eventually learned to stop beating myself up, for beating myself up."

Admittedly, I am not sure if I figured out that friend's solution for myself? His way of phrasing it was helpful framing to at least attempt to acknowledge when I am caught up in some similar mental anguish loop.

For me, changing scenery is a methodology that I find is sometimes helpful? Going for a walk in nature if possible, far away from humans and their noises is ideal! A babbling brook, raging rapids, or the moon reflected in an ocean with waves crashing seem to be fantastic for me when I can enjoy such things.

Rain drops, while soaking in some rustic hot springs far away from most signs of so-called "civilization"? Better still!

Unfortunately, it is not always easy or possible to change scenery to such realms without significant effort and often expenses.

Simpler things, such as making an herbal tisane, the meditative qualities of watching steam "peel" off the "skin" of the tea cup, help to slow down and be in the moment, a different moment than incessant negative thoughts.

Tea kettles and water and loose leaves are not always readily available.

So perhaps some headphones, and a song, or album, or something musical can be helpful, for me at least, to have another frame of reference when I am in exceedingly urban hellscapes full of human maladies.

Barring that, earplugs.

Admittedly, reducing inputs from the world around me that I find harrowing isn't the be all end all, but a starting point.

If stuck with human trappings and no good tunes are readily available, vegging out to some movies or something similar (ideally: comedic in nature if looking for levity) might be beneficial?

No doubt, if the negative thoughts are persistent (as they often are in my experience) such strategies may be of limited utility, but even temporary distractions can still be welcome in my experience.

Well, Bazzite just obliterated one of the last reasons I was still clinging to Windows 11.

My living room PC has an RTX 3090, yet Windows still won’t run anything at 4K 60fps. It caps out at 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps—no matter what I do. For years, I blamed the TV. Thought maybe I cheaped out. Spent all this money on a high-end rig, and it never delivered what I wanted.

Then I docked my wife’s Legion Go. It dual-boots Windows 11 and Bazzite.

Guess what? Same problem on Windows. But boot into Bazzite? Boom—4K at 60fps, no issue.

Turns out it wasn’t the TV. It was Windows.

Once again, Linux quietly proves it’s the better OS for gaming.

The Empire Is A Nonstop Insult To Our Intelligence

To avoid confusion, I don't favor Democrats over Republicans, and not the other way around either. I consider them both parasites.

And here's a more controversial opinion: although Mamdani distanced himself from the rest of the herd and went more socialist and offered something more of substance, I am skeptical about him because of his resorting to "vibes".

I prefer boring people who address our minds, not performative entertaining sales persons.

May both parties go to hell.

in reply to She Was Speaking

@SheWasSpeaking

Absolutely. It's why I said he offered something of substance. His message resonated with people, unlike, say, Kamala Harris.

Perhaps it's just me, I tend to be skeptical whenever someone employs entertainment or vibes; what I call a sales personality. It immediately subtracts from their genuinity.

Maybe he's just trying all possible means and I should give him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, why do I bother? I live in Montreal.

At SFO waiting at the baggage claim for my checked backpack. Hopefully TSA or other TLAs aren't leaving anything "interesting" behind?

Thank you to @recon@infosec.exchange for a fantastic 20 year anniversary!

Maybe I'll summarize my experiences later? My favorite talk was without a doubt @ic3qu33n@infosec.exchange's on EBC (admittedly, perhaps the only talk to even make mention of the demo scene which is near and dear to my heart). Dr. @azonenberg@ioc.exchange's presentation was also outstandingly excellent!

Met some neat new folks, did not see as many old familiar faces as I was hoping, but am still very grateful to have had such an enjoyable experience!

Thanks to Hugo, Anne, Cat, David, the PHRACK crew for their special edition physical release and everyone else whom I failed to mention in these humble greets explicitly who made it come together!

The poster is a criticism/denunciation of Leonid Radvinsky, owner of OnlyFans, for his donations to AIPAC during the Gaza's genocide.

At the top left is AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) logo with a stylised American flag. Below AIPAC logo: a red frame with "Boycott OnlyFans!" in white. And the OF logo.

The main text: "LARGEST DONOR TO AIPAC DURING GAZA GENOCIDE WAS BILLIONAIRE OWNER OF THE ONLYFANS WEBSITE LEONID RADVINSKY". #alttext #AltTxt #ALT4you

就我人生中,有限的生命里的那么点工作期限

从我没毕业实习开始,每年都是“今年比往年的就业情况更糟糕”

最近真的是严峻的一塌糊涂

比较明显的体感就是,我朋友他们单位当年招聘的学历也就大专,今年要硕士生

也就那么点活,哪需要硕士生
