As the sun was just brightening the sky, I fell asleep a bit, but then an hour or so later my shithead of a cat woke me up, as she does whenever the light hits the leaves. My eyes hurt. Gonna go to the doctor and see if they can give me some better first aid. loud, piercing meows every morning until I'm up. Then she stops for the rest of the morning, even if I go back to bed. whyyyyyyyy ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2499 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: gender identity │ └─────────────────────────┘ @user-1218 I do this sometimes...

They snag clothing and pierce through skin and thin gloves. If you're going to attempt such a thing, make sure you bring a machete, and make sure you cover your tracks after passing through an open space and re-entering the brush. if you can't afford / fit a machete, which is awfully specific I know, at least bring some scissor snips and thiccc gloves. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2502 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: gender identity │ └─────────────────────────┘ @user-1218 I wish English was more inclusive >.> ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2503 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1279 @user-1280 Having trouble with doubt? Have no fear my friend, dare for the bright age! We are stronger than they know. They are afraid, and they project it to us because that is all that they can do. A better future is possible, a better future is within reach.

(I guess you could dig tunnels too but that's pretty high effort) you'll be able to hear when someone is coming from a long way away because they'll constantly be cursing from the pain. Do, however, note that fire is a danger, and they can smoke you out with a single entrance, so make sure you have at least two which lead to separate sides of the place you're in. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2505 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: political-theory-mentioned │ │ ║ └────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more │ ║ developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations. │ ║ │ ║ however, I find that they often require an expert to implement.

I fear I'd forget them, or forget what they stand for. I guess that's why ya'll put so much information in your bios. Information they can use to simulate you, alongside all of your posts. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2507 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── If you want to find kind people, try checking at your local Unitarian Universalist church. They believe in all faiths, or rather they focus on their intersection points, and to have faith in humanity is to have generalized compassion. they also know how to organize potlucks and other events. Don't sleep on them. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2508 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── If you're building a long-term residence in a place that gets cold, consider building a Rocket Mass Heater. It is highly efficient and it allows for long-term storage of heat energy in the mass of the home. In addition, it provides a hot stove surface which can be used for boiling water or other cooking tasks which do not require a precise temperature. It is highly efficient as the smoke from the flames are sucked out of the living space and remain inside the barrel of the heater, where they are slowly consumed. there is very little exhaust, but what is there is CO2 which is deadly to breathe, so caution must be taken (as with any fire-based heating option)

If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics. perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis. Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse_boost/97 ◀═╦═══════════════════[BOOST]═════════════════════───────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ External post: https://floofy.city/notes/9vflnbqazlbp0got │ │ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ╠─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┴─▶ -> file: fediverse/2514 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── my aspirations do not end at a city, a state, a nation.
