I got an email from battle.net to confirm my age. Apparently some content may be restricted to minors in the region my account is from. You would think that the account having been created 19 years ago, and with some CD-keys of games from the late 1990's having been added to it would be enough proof, but oh well.

Last year I wasn't feeling too good. I turned forty, waited for surgery, and was hurt by my own colleagues. So I dealt with things. Maybe not so well, but to the best of my ability. One of the consequences was that I got a bit heavy. My body changed, and I didn't feel like myself. It was a problem for future me. So now I am here with this little belly of mine. We're not enemies, but I decided it's time to part ways. So I count calories. Maybe not so well, but to the best of my ability.

Wishing you success in forming the new habits you want!

Thank you! Almost back to baseline now, after a few months. trigger warning, eating disorders: I sometimes forget to log what I eat in my app of course, but what is perhaps slightly nore disturbing is the fact that I sometimes log stuff and then forget to actually eat them. Some sort of Baudrillardian simulacrum of eating.

I finished Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte and now I'm struggling to take any other book seriously. I need a pallet cleanser or something before I can move on

hello world!

Hello 👋

看来可以发中文。因为没有身份证，所以不能拥有手机号，接着不能注册稳定的email，也就没法注册内容平台，发布内容。hotmail因为我没有稳定的ip地址，常常封禁我的email账号，我的mastodon账号因此也没法长期使用。我希望这是一个我可以长期发布内容的地方

It seems I can post in Chinese. Because I don't have an ID card, I can't have a phone number, and therefore can't register a stable email address, which means I can't register on content platforms or publish content. Hotmail frequently blocks my email account because I don't have a stable IP address, so my Mastodon account can't be used long-term. I hope this is a place where I can publish content consistently.

嗯，好吧，为了你自己，我希望它能持续很长时间。你的互联网问题很难解决，非常抱歉！ :-(

Well, okay, for your own sake, I hope it lasts a long time. I'm so sorry your internet problem is so difficult to fix! :-(

谢谢你，没想到还真有人回我的帖子，我在互联网上至少几年没和人对话过了

Thank you. I didn't expect anyone to actually reply to my post. I haven't had a conversation with anyone online for at least several years.

很高兴成为很久以来的第一个人之一，我的朋友！好好的，周末愉快！原谅我的小错误，我正在用翻译来回复。我们都知道大多数时候都不太好。

So happy to be one of the first people to reply in a long time, my friend! Have a good weekend! Please forgive my little mistake, I'm replying using a translation. We all know things aren't always great.

sorry, what kind of contents are welcomed in this site?

…

I am sure pretty much everything that isn’t criminal, abusive, or illegal. I know those definitions vary from country to country. Just be a good human, and you should be OK.

At a philosophical level, can we have nice things?

I want this expanded and enacted by one of those guys doing Jordan Peterson impersonations :D

And kermit the frog sardonically

I think yes, but precisely NOT "at a philosophical level". You can have it only if you get your hands dirty and build it yourself. I think already proved this, just as a close example.

entropy says no

…

If speaking on a philosophical level, then first we have to ask: what’s “nice” and what’s “to have” 👀

If you consider what you have nice, you can have nice things. If your expectations to your surroundings are very very low, you will be amazed with all the nice things you get from people you meet through your day. My personal approach.

One benefit of everybody freaking out about the death blueberries is that blueberries are cheap for the rest of us rn

Watching the UTMB livestream. Any other trail fans out there tuning in?

Is anyone interested in the situation of homeless people in China?

Yep spill the beans

It is evident that the use of AI in the workplace has had an immense impact on the awareness and mental capabilities of knowledge workers

Anyone like James Michener?

The more I about it, the more I am she is not .

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

if used in a certain way, yes

What about horseradish?

prefer the tone of wasabi, cleaner notes

You look in the corner, you see a guy quietly eating cigarette butts. It's ok. He's dealing with a lot of stress from work. He takes care of his family. Capitalism

Likewise... you look in the corner, you see a guy quietly eating cigarette butts. It's ok. He's dealing with a lot of stress for lack of work, or food, or future. He wants to take care of his family. Communism. We haven’t figured out yet. Maybe we never will.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

A good start for one of those "missing 411" videos on YT.

In other news, I'm circling what sure looks like GCP overbilling us by over $1M/year going back as far as I can see.

I want to become an excellent marketing person😭😭

Experiences of life spring from the contrasts.

Do you walk your neighborhood? Do you sit on your front porch and say hello to passersby?
