I hope it works out, this is sorely needed.

This is great and what I was hoping the Fediverse would turn into.

I was just one person with an idea; an international village adopted it and helped it, making its message go wide.

I want to do this again, but with the Fediverse.

I could start with a 40 minute visual presentation for schools and organizations, demo it, and see where things go. The cool thing is that I’m fully fluent in English, Italian and French so I could do these presentations in 3 languages – wherever people would welcome me.

It’s not going to be easy. But it’s definitely going to be worth it.

Plus comcast and any phone company, specifically AT&T

I sent you one that I use probably everyday. It’s amazing how we make decisions that our brains try to help with, but gets messed up because they conflict. Your therapist should be able to help with more.

Imo, guilt and/or fear is holding you back from the industry. Forgive yourself and everything else about the past situation somehow. Every job has the potential to be different even in the same industry. There are a lot of books and techniques that help to process blame, guilt and fear. This and what everyone else is saying.

Could someone explain what this means to non-techy people?

Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.

I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.

I hope he takes your advice, but he might have to learn the hard way to CYA. He might live in an area where the people are so desperate for good work that they don’t act like that too.

If I only do it in the morning so I get to experience it would that be considered toxic?

It’s important to you, so do it. If your partner wants the same, then they’ll do it for themselves. It may not even be important to them.

I was thinking more “inner peace”, but “serenity” really works too. Congrats, it’s awesome to see someone not knowing why they feel great or having the words to describe it. We need to spread the serenity.

Generally, inner peace is defined as a low-arousal positive emotional state coupled with a sense of balance or stability (Cherif et al., 2022).

Low-arousal positive states are those calm and relaxed happy feelings that aren’t extreme or exciting. They include feelings of calmness, serenity, tranquility, and contentment, in contrast to feelings like exuberance, ecstasy, or euphoria. Low-arousal positive feelings come from within and may be more authentic, stable, and durable than high-arousal positive feelings (Dambrun et al., 2012).

I think you might be one of those truly mentally healthy people I’ve heard so little about.

Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao

On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

That’s interesting and a decent way to do it.

I pay for it, I just read it online. It’s written by the people selling and talks about their lives and issues. It’s pretty great.

It should be like in Hawaii, I agree.

King County doesn’t test for swimming at Lake Union, but thanks for the link.

Edit: Here is a screenshot of where they want us all to swim. Someone called it Goose Beach, lol.

They talk about the logging and such. The problem with following the locals is that their information might be old and handed down OR it might be spot on. I’ve known locals that say one thing and do another as well, where they owned a houseboat and swam in it. I like the idea of being able to read the tests so I can find out for myself with science.

There is a beach by the pedestrian bridge that is heavily used as a beach, even there?
