Well, maybe not just because you feel like it.
I think the premise is that you crashed on an alien planet and need to build a spaceship to return back home?

The fact that you are destroying the entire ecosystem of the planet to do so is just a slight inconvenience.

Invictus:

Out of the night that covers me.
black as the pit, from pole to pole.
I thank whatever gods may be,
for my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
my head is bloody but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the menance of the years
finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
how charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

It’s the only (english) poem I know by hard.
Many people know the last 2 lines.

Good luck with the repairs!
I hope you can manage to get it done and enjoy another it for at least another 16 years!

Found it:
Less pristine than I thought, but still whole :)

This is from the Limited Collector’s Edition of Forza 3, right?
I actually have this one, unused, lying around somewhere in the box at my parents home.

If you are not too far, I could probably ask them to mail it to you.

Ok, thats good. But I suppose I can’t point at something with the cursor while he is using it right?
One person I help is using eye-tracking software, so I guess he would have to turn it off every time I want to show something

Rustdesk is a remote control application, right?
Would it be possible for the other person to keep controlling the computer while i’m annotating, or would it require me to take control of their computer?

Forgot to mention: I’m mainly using Linux and the people I help are typically on mostly windows, but also macos and linux
Apparently slacks annotation feature never really worked on linux in the first place?

Move the fediverse to the gemini protocol?

Sounds very much like what I should try to do. The only thing is that I don’t seem to remember anything. Or at least nothing with an emotional load.

I can’t really trigger any memory. Sometimes I notice I’m feeling overwhelmed when my partner would scold me. But it still doesn’t make me remember anything, just feel very bad. And it’s not really consistent. Some days I’m fine with it.

Definitely matches my experience.
I don’t really have any reaction to what people say, or when watching a movie for example.

I think my default strategy of dealing with feelings is suppressing them. Good or bad.
Even to the point that it happens automatically.

Not sure what to do about it though.
Meditation seems to help, but only if I do it very long and consistently.

Maybe also related, I don’t really experience racing thoughts that people often describe when meditating. If I do it long enough I can occasionally notice something.

Gotchu, fam

Having less power in those centralised organisations is definitely a good thing.

Online communities are helpful, and also sometimes necessary for those who are not able to easily participate in local communities, or who live in a place where nobody is interested in the same things as them.

And still I found it much better to interact with people in-person.
Even when their interests might not align perfectly with yours, it’s just much more fulfilling than online-only interactions.

Well, now I know what I’m going to do during the weekend :)

It actually holds up perfectly fine. Have been using it for more than 20 years, no issues.

I only know some basic knots.
What I do know are some shoelace knots, like this fastest shoe knot. (this website in general has a lot of interesting information on shoelacing)

Not sure I would say inward focused. That can be a good thing in a lot of situations.
I would say they are more outward focused, but not on other people, but rather the concepts, ideas, and beliefs that are pushed upon them by whatever is pushed on them by the social media platforms and news they engage with (instead of talking to actual people, or taking time to do introspection.)

What would you consider good judgement? Not that I disagree with you.
In some way, the current environment feels like it forces you to practice your judgement more so than was necessary in the past.

But I suppose many don’t really bother.

I wish I was better at solving my own problems. But also depends on what you consider solving your own problems is, exactly.
I learned early not to rely on other people, so I tended to look up everything I need in books and online.

But some problems are not solved with research, or suggestions from others online.
Some problems are only solved by giving yourself time to process them yourself.

This is something I’m still lacking in, perhaps because I always searched outside of myself for solutions.
I’m amazed by the solutions some people can come up with without having access to information from books/online.
