Just went through some work stress, gender dysphoria crisis (transitioning is soo scary with a right-wing family x.x) and autism struggles today... currently listening to this smooth jazz song and having a beer to calm down
On a positive note: I installed Fedora on my little Optiplex today and I'm currently backing up my photo memories from the past twelve years from iCloud to leave yet another tech conglomerate :)
How has your day been?
Not only did it take me 23 years to figure out that this constant, never-ending and subtle 'something is NOT right' feeling was actually gender dysphoria, I feel like I have to play a constant game of trial and error with my emotions even for the tiniest of things.
I'll squirm uncomfortably for hours on end, stuck in 'functional freeze', feeling like I just have to relax because I'm stressed from work, but what I'm actually feeling is HUNGER.
Then I eat something and try to remember what hunger feels like, but end up doing the exact same thing as soon as I wake up the next morning.
Don't even get me started on shopping groceries... If I don't buy the EXACT ten items I always buy, I'll be stuck for twenty minutes in front of the cheese isle and try to logically deduct which of these cheeses I might like, because I don't have any gut instincts whatsoever.
I'm not that bad at reading others others emotions, because I have learned the signs of body language, but I can't look at myself in the mirror and have a conversation with myself to see how I react to things when I'm out and about. I just have to know what I feel, which is kinda impossible sometimes.
I just sat in silence in front of my computer for the past few hours, feeling this tangled blob inside of me that tells me 'Hey, you want something! Better figure out what it is.'
After two hours of trying to: watch a show, eat more, shower and change clothes (none of which worked), I remembered: 'Ah, I like listening to music and I haven't done that in a few days' - so I put in my headphones and then it's like 'Ah yes, that's what I've been missing'.
Going through this all the time is SOOO exhausting! I HAVE TO sleep 10+ hours every night to recharge from experiencing conscious reality - and people still wonder why I dropped out of college xD
I scream at my work computer at least once every day when it inevitably gets hung up some proprietary MS365, 2FA, triple mail opt-in cookie banner notice pop-up, kiss Bill's ass and while showering him in champagne type bs .
There seem to be about 5000 people living there now... I wouldn't want that for them. But I'm sure there's a nice, sparse, unpopulated island without utilities and internet access in the Hawaiian archipelago for Mr. Musk to spend the rest of his life on. Lisianski Island for example looks great!
Edit: Or Sentinel Island, the indigenous would be really happy to see him :)
Oh that saddens me to hear about :( I think I'll have to readjust my stance
I actually like to buy specifically Japanese, especially audio gear :)
- Technics for Turntables
- Pioneer for DJ Players & Mixers
- Yamaha for other Audio Gear and Instruments
- Rakuten for streaming and buying movies / shows
- Don't own a car but if I had one it would be Japanese
- Sony for TVs, Gaming Consoles
- Nintendo: also gaming
- Muji for home stuff
- Uniqlo for clothing
- also: kitchen knifes!
Etc.
I read a while back that this is due to capitalism having ameliorated most production / operatioal inefficiencies. Now younger companies have to rely on people's 'self-improvement' and 'dedication' (ie. unpaid overtime, useless motivational speeches,...) to beat their competition.
When Ford implemented mass production, they gained a competitive advantage that didn't rely on any individual worker being extremely good at what they do. Same with McDonalds: The burger flipper doesn't matter to be successful, the system of delivery is what matters.
But when you're developing the 900th dating app, there isn't really much to innovate if you want to play it safe, so you just tell people that they have to be(-come) extremely good, quick, etc. at what they do and make personal growth one of your company principles.
I find them to be mostly very well made, long-lasting and would rank Japan on the same level as many European countries across most metrics
Warwick and Sandberg have a few made in Germany bass guitar lines that are pretty sick. Also Duesenberg - sooo beautiful

Pls post pictures of your potatoes so that I can admire them in the meantime :3
Feel free to suggest in the comments :) Just looking for something relatable to listen to while commuting or doing household chores xx
Makes me feel super dysphoric - currently I already have a discernible M shape on my forehead (short-medium hair ATM, growing it out) -.- Any tips on what I can do before going on hormones? Could that hair grow back once I'm on them? Any hairstyling advice?
