If you think voting is useless please just unfollow me now. I don't care about whatever else you have to say.

I love you; and you give me hope.

"Do you want to be helped, do you want to be hugged, or do you want to be heard?"

I still think about this constantly, and should apply it more consistently.

For a birthday event last month someone did me the very rare kindness of hearing me without judgement and without proposing solutions. I hope I can repay the favor in the future, with interest.

"Someday, Abu, things are gonna change. We'll be rich, live in a palace, and never have any problems at all."

You should try a thing a 2nd time if the 1st time you didn't like it. But not a 3rd time.

But if you are on your 4th "try" what you should try is to stop lying to yourself.

I swear sometines I close my eyes see visions. I may have a vague thought in my mind but I can see a complete ultra detailed image in my eyes not unlike when I am dreaming.

Right now IDK I was thinking about the alien predator. And I see the alien like if it was standing before me. I can see the outline of its helmet and the shoulder gun.

but only the outline is recognizable because it's doing its camouflage thing trying to become invisible.

but...

There's something that makes me unjustifiably angry.

It's when someone shows or talks about their attic. Or their basement. And it triggers me when someone says something like, "oh, I found my old comic books in the attic, I haven't seen these in 50 years!", or some similar bullshit.

To wit, I am not angry at them. But like, what do you mean you have a house, a space to yourself so fucking big that you haven't had to use it in 50 years!? Come the fuck on!

Let me try to explain...

Most people do not answer follow requests.

I don't even remember the last time I tried, but it feels bad being ignored.

Now, let me be crystal clear, the only thing I am saying is what I am saying here. And whatever else you think I am saying I am just not saying that. So I'm not saying follow requests are bad, or that people don't know how to use fedi, or that I am owed answers, or that there is no spam, no no no, I said only what I said.

I love Jessie:

"AI" is the automobile of the 21st century.

On the hand, it might generate wealth for a few people, on the other hand it will generate catastrophic climate damage for all of humanity.

I can't put it into words, they are not the same thing, of course, but the effects of their existence are somewhat similar. And the net returns (ecological/biodiversity damage) are deplorable, while capitalism insists that it is absolutely necessary to keep using each

tl;dr we need each other more than ever and yet it seems ever harder to actually see others and let them see us

Randomly remembering this one girlfriend I had, whose house was in a culdesac, right next to the house of a local drug boss. The cleanest and most peaceful street in the barrio. And me and my girlfriend were the only ones outside on that street at night. No one else would dare go by.

Well, maybe once in a while an unmarked vic would roll by. Otherwise the chillest girlfriend visiting In ever did.
