  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I don't know if it can be done. It's honestly just a 50/50 at this point. I have a lot to look forward to, but a lot of regrets that I listen to more.
I live more to spite death than for the joy of living

It can be helpful to have a resolution to "not" do something. It can be even more effective to couple it with a resolution to "do" something., For example, one might resolve to learn a new skill like card playing (bridge, canasta, pinochle), board game (chess, risk, monopoly), physical activity (tennis, swimming, volleyball), or something else that can both be a satisfying activity as well as an opportunity to meet new people.

Often thoughts of suicide drive out other thoughts and plans such that life can get even darker. Pushing back against a gathering gloom can help ne see themselves as more in control of their life. Don't worry too much about regrets, they indicate that we are learning. We are all born helpless, ignorant, and selfish. Given our starting point it should be expected that we will do things that are regrettable.

None of us are perfect people, but we always have the option to become better people.

I might try to learn chess, or get involved with a DnD club. I'm horrible at it though

Doesn't matter if bad at it, though. I mean, everyone is bad at new stuff.

I saw an interview with a guy who has spent his life making pottery and ceramics. The interviewer commented on his talent and the guy said, "If you do something 20-30,000 times, you start to get good at it."

this actually, for me would've been very effective.
to think of not doing something and promising myself that I will not do it for at least X time, it kinda pushes my brain onto thinking okay. at least just for now to through this. then you have free will whatever you wanna do.

it's a good plan!
but yeah I wouldn't think of that. I don't see a reason to promise myself to be there until x time anyway
