  • Medications are made for people. You are a person. You are deserving of care and medication.

    I’m sorry you are feeling this way. I know it’s hard to be understanding with yourself, especially after experiencing rejection, but you shouldn’t take the blame. We, as a society, have the resources to care for everyone. It’s not your fault specifically that these resources are distributed poorly.

    Other people with disabilities in my life have expressed similar concerns to yours, so I guess I can say this is not an unfamiliar topic to me. Things I have discussed with these people are, for example, that our civilisation can and should be aimed at supporting and including everyone. Otherwise, it would be the same as arguing that a bat is more worthy of living in the forest than a rat, because it can fly and the rodent can’t. Which is, of course, absurd.





  • I’ve gone a long stretch without cubing (think a bit less than a decade) and, while it was refreshing coming back to the hobby, with new hardware and seeing it becoming even more popular, I was forced to confront the fact that I don’t have much disposable time to practice.

    While this is argument enough, I think, to prioritise focused practice, I generally find that the opposite becomes even more tempting: I generally just do a bunch of mindless solves, and while I do see myself improving, I doubt I’ll improve as fast as I could. It’s probable, even, that I’m reaching a skill ceiling for mindlessly solving.

    I don’t know what this is, maybe just a cubing-related rant about getting older.


  • Eternity no celular (98% do tempo) e photon no desktop.

    Não me oponho a deixar o photon como interface padrão, mas, por outro lado, penso como seria isso a longo prazo, dado que, supostamente, vem aí uma atualização da lemmy-ui que vai melhorar bastante a interface e, em qualquer momento, o photon pode parar de ser desenvolvido, visto que não é diretamente associado ao desenvolvimento do backend do lemmy em si.







  • Considering how much of my free time I spend cubing (a big chunk), I always found it weird that my dreams are not full of cubing as well. I have dreamt of cubing once; I remember doing F2L really efficiently, but that’s about it. Nothing interesting or out of the ordinary, so this may be an unsatisfactory answer for you.







  • Something you said that really resonated with me is, besides the experience with psychedelics, the way that people will treat you as a conspiracy theorist for deviating from the “correct” frame. I think this is a major barrier for escaping the neoliberal narrative, as it is very natural for us to try to fit in, to not be weird, to be accepted. Nobody wants, at face value, to be the loony commie and ostracised.
