I just want to be more positive in my life as I see the world growing number of challenges as I like to say. Loving strangers is helping me out and preaching class solidarity.

When I poop before I have to leave the house in the morning. I’m free.

Hey I'm doing that right now

I’d much rather poop at home.

Music, films, and video games. Probably just art in general. Also having friends but I haven't had any irl ones in a while.

Edit: I got P.T. running on a hacked PS4 and that made me real happy. Especially because I didn't know what I was doing.

For me it's making something. Mostly coding a new feature on my personal project. Making a new map/plot.

Sometimes just winning a videogame match, or getting that in game achievement.

I don't do actual video game with steam or ps5 and such, so I don't know if you're into it.

Me and my wife play this game called bomb squad, it's one of a very few games that run natively on linux (without steam and such), is free to install/play and works with game controllers.

I'll just be happy if my neck quits hurting so I can lay down and get some proper sleep tonight ☹️

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Id get some bengay or athletes creem, idk. Like it should numb you enough

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Actually, thank you!

The sore area is very closely related to an old slipped disc and pinched nerve injury, but isn't quite that bad again yet. You just reminded me that we have some muscle rub cream in the bathroom, and the instant I read your comment, I just went to apply some.

I just hope it doesn't go back to being a pinched nerve, but muscle rub cream surely can't hurt!

Thank you again fellow Lemming 👍

Good to hear I helped. See something say something. Hopefully it works. I had a neck cramp that kept me in bed

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It is actually helping a bit, but knowing the old injury, I still need to restrict my neck motion for a while, when I otherwise want to sleep ☹️

I think I'll be good, as long as I don't bend my neck in any weird ways tonight. That sucks though, as I'd just as soon be asleep right now, but I tend to toss and turn in my sleep, not good for my neck at the moment.

But your advice was solid, even if it only helped like 10%, the muscle rub cream indeed has helped 👍

Sitting yoga and going on a walk, followed by muscle relaxation and a shower usually helps me best.

If nothing else works, Ibuprofen stops inflammation and Tizanidine helps you relax the muscles without having bad side effects like Benzodiazepine.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you kindly for the advice 👍

Last night kinda sucked like that, but I was able to relieve the pain eventually with a combination of the other posted suggestion, generic muscle rub (basically off-brand Ben Gay), a BC powder, some beer, and restricting my neck motion for a while.

Then I rearranged my pillow to be rolled up very tight to sit under my neck while I finally got some sleep around 5:30am..

I'm just glad it didn't settle into a long term pinched nerve again.

Noice! Happy something worked. Seems you have a whole arsenal of remedies now.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Teaching something to someone and seeing them succeed at that after.

Such a great feeling!

My husband, chi tea latte, rainy fall weather, being home, in bed under the blankets.

What is your Chai of choice?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Hanging out with my partner, working out, reading (Marxist-Leninist theory as well as general fiction like sci-fi), gaming, making espresso, and running TTRPGs.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Have you read the culture series? I just found out about it. It's post scarcity society, might be up your alley!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Haven't heard of it, thanks for the rec! I'll check it out!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

My dog. He's such a doofus but he's beautiful and very funny, always getting distracted by bugs or plant seeds floating about.

There are a lot of things that make me happy to at least some degree. Just going in order of what I remember, there is, finding uses for older pieces of technology, listening to music that is upbeat and "energetic" (if that's the right word to use), playing games with good gameplay and stories (even if they can get depressing sometimes), and while it's been a while since I've last watching one, watching Anime can also make me happy. There are also some other things but I've either forgotten them or I just don't feel like mentioning them.

That's your happiness right there

Mine too, it's happiness

hahahahahahaha I have disthymia, damn you 🙃

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think I have the same and it's really good damn annoying

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

There's also something called anhedonia, which is when it's temporary.

Did you ever have fun? Were you ever happy for a few moments at least? What did you do?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't even know, in my opinion it's better to find good people with whom you will then continue to communicate, rather than these one-time conversations and then forget about them.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Been trying to figure that out for decades, but I have found that music, weed, and cuddles does wonders

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Building gadgets, modding electronics, and documenting it all so other people can try it out too. In a way, I'd like it to be my job, but my ideas aren't that profitable and I'm sure selling off my hobby to capitalism would suck the fun out of it.

I've been looking into WiFi trackers and Bluetooth mesh. It would be interesting conversation old wireless routers into a mesh networks

Lots of the usual stuff, but speaking of class, when I get unexpectedly positive reactions for outreach. When handing out fliers at a train station, I'd often see someone instinctually ignore us for handing out stuff, but when I announce the reason (e.g. protesting a local weapons factory supplying the ongoing genocide, or for my union organizing to fight issues affecting our workers) some people double back and grab one, or even thank us for volunteering. It's heartwarming and validating. Far more people showing interest or support than the one or two grumpy reactionaries.
