I have just been informed that some meds I need in order to remain emotionally and mentally stable will be unavailable for a while here. It is very unfortunate, and means I’ll likely have to step off Blue Sky and possibly Twitch for a bit here. I should still be on Discord if you need me.

No worries: I have those feelings sometimes, too. I'm sure you know this all already, and just want to give that voice inside you a little pushback because I want you to be supported. I think the phrase the kids use is, "Get loved on, nerd"? You're still good in my books. 💜

"I can't prepare my own food right now" doesn't make you "worthless," at most it makes you "helpless" and I know quite a few people who enjoy helping a helpless person. Helping the people around us is what community is about. You still matter, ability to cook or no. 💜

The premise is that bots don't have phones, and therefore can't verify. The irony of how badly your phone number gets shared the moment Discord "misplaces" it is completely missed, sadly.

Yeah, Discord servers get so weird... I've had a few where I knew the server owner and they just let me skip the verification stuff, but it's always off-putting and usually makes me skip joining. And yeah, they never say when they want your phone number upfront. Like, buy me dinner first?

Hm... I didn't think there was a negative framing to the word "Boomer" in my posts: the initial premise was, "this doesn't sound like the boomers in my life; let's fact-check." I can't quite tell if this is the start of a pancake argument, or if I left something semantically ambiguous?

I couldn't believe this is "Boomers, so I looked a few of these up. Evan Schuman has been writing about tech since the early 80s, longer than I have been alive. Eric Brown got his BS in 1995, so he's also at least old Gen X, and likely a boomer.

Or perhaps I was too young to hear them only half-joking? Regardless, somewhere along the way people really do seem to have started assuming politicians would just be openly corrupt and nothing would come of it. I’m not a fan.

Spoken by a boomer, those always seemed like Boomer Jokes, same with “I’m sorry you got married: wives make husbands miserable.” But somewhere in the last few decades, I think people started taking it seriously: the assumption IS that politicians are corrupt criminal scum.
