I can't imagine what would make countries like Russia and China think they might someday have to team up against the US.
You'd be surprised how many cops are swingers.
Not everything is about Donald fucking Trump.
Not really. Only Americans are so dense as to require several months to absorb something like that.
Hell, CNN and MSNBC should have a disclaimer.
It's like people can't get interested in anything unless it has the Big Tech stamp of approval. 🙄
“The fact that Threads has joined the space has made it really interesting for other companies,” Prodromou says. “Threads is bringing a really big audience, as well as big names — like @POTUS is on the fediverse … So that makes this process a lot more interesting for other organizations — both for publishers who want to reach those audiences, as well as for existing social networks who want to have those influencers and celebrities available to their users.”
So this is just about piggy-backing on Threads, not any real support for the principles of open software.
I thought Threads was for people who thought Mastodon was too complicated. What's all this "turn on sharing" mess?
I didn't quit as I said I would, but that's mostly been due to my sheer lack of motivation. I'm coming off of a really bad low point a few weeks ago that's had me making amends with my wife, returning to therapy for CPTSD yadda yadda . . . I'm honestly just exhausted and do not feel like I can climb that hill.
That said, I've had some small victories. I haven't completely quit, but I've gotten better at remembering the terrible smell before I light up, which has helped me cut down a lot. As a CPTSD survivor, I'm pretty practiced at working with the unconscious, so I find meditative visualization very effective (when I can be bothered). I can recommend a particular mp3 if there's interest.
So since I'm writing this, I guess I'll make another extra strong attempt tomorrow, but no promises.
P.s. Any motivation (except health scares) you can offer in the comments would be much appreciated 🙂
Eh, that doesn't help when my wife is going apoplectic on me and putting me close to a nervous breakdown.
Sometimes I think I won't be able to quit until we get divorced.
Just checking in for my quit, which starts tomorrow, and hopefully helping get this sub off the ground.
Edit: thanks for the well-wishes everyone. Turns out my wife and I did fight over something stupid, and I smoked, because I'm an idiot. Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow.
I'm really sick of the age thing when it comes to gaming. Tons of middle-aged and older men spend hours watching sportsball every week, but nobody gives them shit.
