@kdvps what the fuck

@Lensflare ):

Today: "This is why I switched to Vibe coding - and why YOU should, too"

Tomorrow: "This is how I left Vibe coding behind and got a job to fix vibe coded applications"

@PaperTrail Of course there are.

It's an entire giant scam theme with little cults, social media gurus, "join the WhatsApp group" scammers, paid seminars, then the same thing all over again for quick hypnosis (which is the bigger money maker for way over a decade now, as it's quick money with more people interested in it). Can't forget the erotic pseudo hypnosis videos people pay a lot for. They have their place in this as well.

And then there are the way smaller groups of people who don't actually want to scam people or are victims of those scams. People actually interested in hypnosis and its uses in therapeutic environments or on oneself. But that's the smaller part of the industry.

People getting used to every website taking ages to fully display everything on it, then being baffled when they visit a simple html + css + vanilla javascript website and it doesn't try to murder your grandmother and sacrifice your dog in order to display the simplest to display image without preload rituals that make it seem like it takes even longer than just having the image getting loaded in as it goes.

I remember when sites like Facebook looked a bit better than today and weren't completely overloaded with JavaScript for every single little task, making it impossible to use the same website with barely any new actual features on old, old machines where they would run perfectly smoothly back then.

@12bitfloat Sometimes, a little bit, yes

Pink stuff

@kiki I didn't pay much attention to the content here in the recent years. I usually come back to take a look at the recent posts once every 6 months or so and then I immediately see some sexist post or suicide note with incel content and am like "alright, same as always, good old home"

@kiki I'm on other platforms. The sexism and rapey incel behavior shift here back when I left became too much for me to handle after most other popular users left. Even before that happened, I had to deal a lot with some people harassing me and openly putting me on the pranger just for stating that I'm a "female developer" on my website and similar things.

Once, people here had to defend me against a really fucked up guy who would not let me live in peace without force flirting at me and be all like "just a joke bro, just a joke!!".

My picture is green because you can't change it without also adding an actual avatar.

@AlgoRythm I'm not "gone gone".

But I'm certainly busy working on my Virtual Tabletop.

Didn't zoos globally end more rare wildlife than they safed or something?

I once told one of my therapists about how, despite not actively being suicidal anymore, I still had this comforting thought of "if X doesn't work out, I can still kill myself the next day or something" way after that time.

We also talked about how I often have to rewatch shows and movies that actively remind me of the worst times in my lives, when I was a helplessly depressed 14 - 16 years old, thinking about killing myself.

The feeling itself was comforting, despite feeling worthless and like a failure.

It's the thought of control that I otherwise don't have over my own life. When I do this, it's my own decision to put myself into this place again, not anyone else's, as most things usually are.

🎃

Sadly, I have one.

There were meetups way back.

@tosensei Sadly, it kinda is. I didn't say it's good, but it definitely is 😩

Can't imagine because TÜV

Stop insulting german culture

@ODXT luv u

It's probably best to try to calm down once your initial panic attack is over and remember that you didn't do anything official yet.

Depending on the situation that made you say this and what the working climate usually is like, it might be wise to just admit that you were just mad and said something you didn't mean.

It might help to explain what exactly made you feel that way to hopefully make them understand a bit.

@ODXT I said cuties.

@kiki Fuck.

@kiki I'm so sorry. Nobody should be treated this way. Sadly there are absolute monsters who get children and then think their children owe them for it.

On a side note, I lost my ability to read things like books properly during the last few years because of autistic burnout due to all the stress I had. Slowly getting back to reading a few pages per month, but it's still hard for me to read a page and keep the information because I partly don't even understand what the texts want to tell me anymore.

I can't imagine how much worse it must be to lose that ability completely on a neurological level.

@kiki Yeah, it was and sometimes still is the same with mine.

There was also the fact that she (and my teachers), when I was a kid, used all these things that should've been there to help me, as threats only, (Stuff like schools for disabled children, learning disabilities & developmental disabilities) because nobody knew I was autistic all this time. So of course things like these are used as a bad thing, because fuck everyone who's disabled, fucking losers, right?

Today, she keeps reading stuff about autism, but in the end, she doesn't care about any of my traits. She still constantly starts fights because "you should know this." and "what you said clearly implies [bad thing]" (I hate it so, so, sooooooooooooo much how this society operates on people throwing away the meanings of the words you said and just make up implications you never even thought)

And everyone around me already knew I'm autistic right after my diagnosis without me ever agreeing to telling people.

@kiki I can relate to a lot of stuff you wrote in those two posts. Especially the being taken advantage of, constantly being pushed back because you are treated like you are not your own person. I will also never forgive mine for how she never questioned the possibility of, nor how she handles me being autistic. Just saw me struggling all my life and everything was just me being lazy and I should know better and everyone knows this and that and just try harder.

Fuck yeah

@kiki yes 🤗 How are you?

@retoor I did indeed

@undaunted would you be interested in continuing to chat on Discord?
