(Anonymous) 2021-12-11 05:51 am (UTC)(link)I am just so anxious. I have never been good at receiving unwanted/extra attention, especially from men (but generally, I am not good at receiving special attention). I want to keep going on my journey of self acceptance and love and that includes allowing myself to dress as I wish as I am instead of waiting for the "right" time to "become beautiful inside and out", and I understand I can't stop others from doing and feeling what they do, but God damn it, I just want to see my best friend, I don't want to deal with this awkward special attention her brother keeps giving me. Like, leave me alone please. In all the years we've known each other, it was nice to have him be at a comfortable distance as her older brother, now that I am dressing different and losing weight he's taking extra time to keep saying hi...like...I'm sorry I come off rude...just, I don't want the attention. I just want to see my best friend and talk to her. I'm not losing weight because I think losing weight is making me prettier. I've lost weight because my depression affected my eating habits. There were low points and high points and I'm still navigating on appetite vs emotional eating. Am I not hungry or is my depression getting bad again?
And now I have to worry about my emotional detachment issues too??

(Anonymous) 2021-12-11 08:12 am (UTC)(link)I'm an atheist who was raised non-religious, and while intellectually I think I understand why religion and spirituality appeal to some people, I also feel like I'll never really understand the draw of religious belief.
Similarly, I get that NFTs are a link to a piece of art, with the link and who owns it, but not the art itself, recorded in a blockchain ledger, that the art may or may not have been stolen from an artist who loathes NFTs and cryptocurrencies, or may be "art" made for the express purpose of a) laundering money b) bilking credulous "investors" out of their cash or c) both.
I get that people want to get rich quick by getting in on the next big thing or by ripping off people who want in on the next big thing.
But the whole circus is so preposterous it makes the dude nailing a banana to the wall look like da Vinci by comparison. It seems like dream logic, or that old Step 1: steal people's underwear ... Step 3: Profit! meme, where step 1 is burning a small city's worth of gas to operate a warehouse full of computers, and nothing real is produced at any point. Even NFTs aren't an integral part of a blockchain ledger.
When I was trying to understand wtf cryptocurrency is, at first I thought the equations required to "mine" currency were like... famous unsolved math/physics problems, and the idea was to reward people who shared their computer processing power to solve them by giving them fake online money. But the math involved is literally just the ledger of who mined what, who traded what to who, who owns what, and a continuous cross check of all that info. It does fuckall in terms of actual RL use to anyone. Idk.
I just can't get over how simultaneously dumb and evil it is.

(Anonymous) 2021-12-11 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)I do not understand how this is different than just owning the copyright on something, other than maybe the blockchain being a better system for recording that information and maintaining a record of the chain of ownership.
Re: Random things thread
"When I was a baby, my mother donated money to a new hospital in my name and so my name is on a brick in their donor wall. Now, I can go to that hospital and see that my name is on a brick in that wall. But I cannot take that brick home with me to build my own wall, or use as a paperweight, or for any purpose. It is just part of that brick wall, in another city, which will never shelter me personally from the cold or protect my possessions. But there *is* a brick there with my name on it. Aaaand that is an NFT."
(Except donating to a hospital presumably actually does the world some good, unlike buying NFTs. XD)
