This doesn’t have enough upvotes imo. Contingency hell can be dealt with. (mind you, noting wrong with having a contingency plan or two, but there’s a point where it goes from a healthy survival mechanism to a debilitating maladaptive coping mechanism)

I’m still in contingency plan hell, but I’ve managed to deal with it in some parts of my life and that feeling of just coming out of a situation that used to make you tense AF and then realizing you were not even considering to worry about it is the best feeling even. This was something I never expected to be possible.

And honestly, I have been stressing out about the other bits of my life that are still contingency hell, kinda thinking I might never get rid of them, just how I felt about the things I actually did deal with…

Guess I came here to remind some internet rando’s that it is in fact possible; ended up reminding myself :')

lol same!

“Major cause found; Becky is at it again!”

Lucky me, I am 2 meters of giant flesh and tum tum. Smile, and I’m the BFG

Have a resting bitch face with a glint of implied violence and no card is needed for people to leave me alone :3

exactly! its not so much that the algo is skewed against us (although…), but mostly the content it has available to it and our lizard brains in general that arn’t helping. (or rather out desire to win the popularity contest and thus manipulate it in a way the algo is sensitive to). Because 90% of the ‘pretty girl’ videos wouldn’t have these stereotypical clickbait dames in them if it didn’t work in the first place

agree, I do have some other things in my feed, but I’d definitely say the algorithm has certain preferences.

Probably has to do with most of my interests being pretty nice compared to ‘ooh pretty girl’. So when it compares what I click on it’s easier to find high frequency recommendations based on other peoples likes. I know fuck all about the algo that makes feeds, but my guess is that’s how it works.

Can we please rebrand ‘X’ as ‘The website formerly known as twitter’?

Also, best post here in a while

Also, don’t get my hopes up -.-

edit: so no prince fans here then ^^"

a jacket for storgage… thats the first time i heard about that one.

I have a backpack with panda’s. It makes me look like a 2m tall kid, but they are really cute panda’s so I’m willing to make that sacrifice.

nice try narcissists

its funny how relatable your logic is even though your preferences are practically perfect opposites.

I wear sandals and shorts whenever I can, and ideally i switch to pants/shoes and back just once per year :') And I love to have my feet exposed (even within the house, I do have flipflops though)

yay double warm up :D

Speaking of going to the gym… I did another dumdum yesterday. I biked to the gym in my gym clothes as I do when its good weather… but it wasn’t, it was raining, one of those that feels like a drizzel but within 5 minutes you are soaked.

So I worked out while soaked, full soak (now sweat) biked back trough the wind and raind, bought breakfast, biked home, waited an hour to shower… and now im sick :D Like I said, I’ll probably never learn -.-

Does it have anything to do with not having to deal with change? The amount of coverage/protection/insulation ect. being consistent rather than changing with how you feel like dressing that day?

I catch myself, while shopping clothes, always for the same cut of clothes for the same reason, even going as far as getting cranky if the material/thickness of fabric I am used to is not available for the print I’m liking. Maby an extreme example…

But all the people I know personally who stick to either shorts or long pants come high or hell water tend to have a lot of traits where they either appreciate consistency or… no mainly that now that I think of it.

I remember going for a walk with a friend midwinter, underestimating the distance, overestimating the temperature (i mean, it -was- snowing, but that meant nothing… right) So we went out in our tshirts and shorts.

In the end, my mum spent 2 hrs trying to turn 2 goth smurfs back into human boys. I’d say I learnt a lesson that day, but one must not tell lies.

yeah that’s where my head is at as well… I’m just not yet emotionally ready for that reality

look, I already said I’ve done a handstand. that’s about as good

I’m sorry about your glove. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that every time i see this picture, it makes me chuckle. But no pressure :)

I havn’t yet, might later today. But I’m convinced its a gpu thing at this point. Might have bashed the hdmi cable a little to hard in the port trying to install it or something dumb like that. Its the only thing that I can think off that slightly makes sense, as it was working perfectly 5 minutes before, and nothing else has happened (other than plugging in an HDD, and I already tried unplugging that)

You’re pretty much describing the process i went trough, with some altered details. Power outage fried my HDD, ended up replacing it. Suddenly monitor doesn’t work after reconnecting it. Tried the DP cable i had lying around, tried the 2nd HDMI port, both with the same HDMI cable and a different one. Tried a different monitor. (i don’t have a 2nd system I could hook my monitor to, but at this point I’m fairly sure it has to do with the HDMI port of the GPU which I simply don’t have the funds to replace… Might have a guy look at it, maby he knows something I don’t)

I only understand half of that, but either way it sounds annoying af

maby I should have googled ‘/s’ first… :') At least we now know 31 is NOT the charm.

Nah :'), at least not the first 30 or so times i tried. Maby 31 is the charm.
