+1 if they can rp the incompetence into an adv roll. Literal weaponised incompetence

I’ve been doing “tipsy chore day” for a while. Do a chore > glass of wine > do another chore > glass of wine… I may as well finish the bottle > do a chore > final glass.

Chores are less boring, and you push through them to get your next glass. Has to be wine though, beer I don’t get a buzz going, and spirits have me incompetent.

If I were a narcissist, given the scenario, how would my actions be different from what actually happened.

I’m not great at interrupting negative behaviours currently, but this helps me recognise them after the fact.

A book about loss. Loss of family. Loss of country. Loss of culture. Loss of all things. It’s beautifully written, and the theme of loss doesn’t mean a somber tone throughout, the found family is strong.

Vikunja feature request: once a day export “due today” tasks to printer, mark as done when printed. One day I’ll learn python and could script this myself… One day.

Vikunja is how my fiancée and I keep track of housework, we’re both neurospicy. But, like the author if I forget one day, the system completely breaks until I make a conscious effort to start again. By then the list is over run with "overdue"s it’s a little disheartening.

To anyone and no-one:

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize,” Kevin Alfred Storm, noted Neo-Nazi caught with a non zero amount of child porn, talking about Jews. Also, paraphrased by William H, talking about Muslims.

I fought against getting a contactless debit card for so long. I used to call my bank a month or so before my card expired demanding a non-contactless card. “But sir, you could just not activate the contact…” I don’t want any of it. I’d say “when I forget my pin it’s time to go home” paying chip and PIN like a peasant. I probably said “PIN Number” for how stupid I was being.

Anyway, contactless payment is awesome.

My fears are still grounded. Originally it was because, near weekly, I saw someone paying with a card they just picked off the floor. I hated the limit being so high long before they raised it, let alon after they raised it again. Also a skill check before ordering another beer has some merit.

“Cults do like to cut off and distance their members from outsiders and their families” In the same email that he was threating to block me for suggesting his quoting of a Nazi might be a bad thing.

Close second: “Trump (married to a woman) is misogynist” but also “I (British), married to a Malay, can’t be racist because I’m married to a Malay”.

Honourable mention: “I don’t like the word ‘Islamophobia’ or your Newspeak”. My guy, Newspeak was famous for doing something to the dictionary, and it wasn’t adding words to describe more concepts.

Anyway, he blocked me… Like cultists do. All quotes are paraphrased, I CBA digging through the emails.

Not that I have a solution but engoraging people to use “blocks” and “filters” is the way to go I think.

I’d like to create a homepage but Lemmy moves too slowly for that, so I do find myself on “all” a lot. So blocking users/communities/instances and filtering keywords are how I craft a positive experience here.

When EH was around I’d waste endless time trolling/downvoting them, which I now realise was time wasted. It didn’t help me; made Lemmy more toxic; and gave bad actors the legitimacy and attention they want.

I think my comment in the poll was fairly comprehensive, so I’ll leave it at that. Except to add good job LemmyNSFW admins you constantly handle controversy well. From instance bans, instance drama or this current downvote issue, no notes.
