I don’t know, tell us about it. What’s it like and why do you like it?

“Man Tasked With Making Score for a Monkey Riding a Swordfish Underwater Creates Transcendent Piece of Music”

I love that the whole reason he even became a video game composer is because his boss promised an extra day off to anyone who could learn enough about the music computer to demo it to customers. Just floating through life by happenstance, and then becoming the most revolutionary person in the field.

Obsidian is what I’ve been using too!

Me at the beginning: “hell yeah I’m so smart”
Me now: “I’m dumb as hell”

Oh, I finally had to stop myself. I took more and better notes than I’ve done for literally any academic purpose in my life lol

Calling a partner who cheats an abuser is quite the leap.

There are remorseless serial cheaters for sure, and that is abusive and cruel behavior. There are also people who cheat because they feel like their needs aren’t being meet and haven’t figured out how to communicate that. And when that happens, there’s three options: figure your shit out, learn how to communicate, and rebuild trust; figure your shit out, learn to communicate, and accept if your partner isn’t interested in staying with you; or don’t take accountability. I don’t think any of those make them “abusers,” even the last one which is quite shitty. It makes them a flawed human and someone who shouldn’t try to be with someone until they figure out how to be better.

Edit to add, I was pondering more and there is a 4th option. I was thinking “don’t take accountability and get dumped.” But there is also “don’t take accountability and your partner stays with you,” and I would agree that that is abusive.

Which I would argue matters less when it’s so easy to move to a different “country” and still participate in everything with little meaningful difference.

Replying to this from my bed, 2.5 hours after I woke up.

This is why work from home is such a blessing. In an office I could never be able to fuck around as much as I do, but I was definitely less productive overall because I wouldn’t do the hyperfocus periods because I was recently l resentful about being at the office.

Yes! It’s easy to untie unlike a double knot. Unties fast but only if you do it intentionally.

This is the GOAT shoelace knot. Especially for round laces that like to slip more than flat ones.

Are you contributing content?

Strong, fat, brave, and silly… and still not a single braincell between them.

I got diagnosed in my mid-thirties and finally getting on medication for it literally made me cry because of how normal I felt.

Something like the multireddit function then, maybe? Custom feeds where you can add any communities that you want (doesn’t even have to be the same topic).

I don’t think it makes sense to combine the feeds at a federation level (which I think is what you’re talking about, but correct me if I’m wrong). There may be non-topic reasons that some users would want to join/read one but not another. And who would determine whether topics were similar enough to warrant having combined feeds?

Being able to make your own personal multi-community feeds would definitely be a nice feature. That wouldn’t have any issue with posting, either.

I don’t think the fragmentation is necessarily not present on Reddit. There are subs on there that are on the same topic, there’s nothing stopping someone from creating a duplicate just because they’re on the same server, ya know?

One thing that ends up happening over there is that both are active but with different types of community culture. For example, there’s /r/JonBenetRamsey which is where people who believe someone in the family did it congregate, and /r/JonBenet which consists primarily of people who think an intruder is responsible.

Or, there are multiple subs for the same or highly overlapping topics and people just subscribe to both/many. Even if they cover the same topic, since they’re in separate spaces they don’t necessarily have that behemoth sub feel. On Reddit I’m subscribed to wicca, wiccan, and witch. (I was also subscribed to witchcraft until the mod made an unhinged post about how the API thing didn’t matter to anyone, and I got banned for my reply which was polite but disagreed lol.) All have activity.

The other outcome on Reddit is that one sub thrives and becomes the default, and the others just don’t have any activity so people don’t sub.

This is a very long-winded way to say, I think the solution to your problem is just joining both communities, and you’ll see both in your feed as a result.
