  • I’ve done some cbt and found that it’s worth asking what the worst realistic outcome and most likely outcome are. If the worst is bearable I accept i can get through it. Regardless I then focus on what I can do that can help my situation and accept if I can’t. If I’m possibly fucked snd helpless it sucks, but it’s easier knowing that that’s the case, but usually neither is true. Most of the time I can bear it and improve things.



  • Like everyone else is saying, find a way to participate. I’m absolutely awful at posting, but I can comment regularly so I do that a lot. If you notice anything you want missing it’s gonna be up to you to inspire others by posting about it and being actively involved in other posts about it.

    Oh also a lot of folks on here suck to varying degrees. Not all are necessarily ban worthy, but some will be. There are instances you may choose to block as well. In general you make of this place what you put in. And for all the users you dislike and see around you’ll get plenty that you see around and like, and it’s cool when you notice you keep interacting with the same people in positive ways




  • It took me a long time to get that, but I really feel it. Like, don’t get me wrong, putting up a rainbow crosswalk doesn’t mean much if the government that does it is v coding trans prisoners, but the statement “these people had to fight for their rights, and we’re glad to call them our neighbors” is still important.

    And hell stuff like this adds to the vibes in the same way having a bunch of Chinese aesthetic in Chinatown does. Yeah, you should make the gayborhood feel like it. And while you’re at it hire black artists to help beautify the blacker parts of town. I actually used to live in a neighborhood with a ton of black art and it absolutely made it a nicer place to live, even as a white person.


  • If anything I would use the slash for zero. Maybe a dot in the middle for place differentiation, though that could make a slash irrelevant.

    Ultimately Babylon was really really good at logistics and administration, and they did a great job with stuff like tracking the sky. But it was a very early civilization. It’s easy for us to give notes 4000 years later, but our modern mathematical notation is a product of international collaboration over a millennium by different civilizations that all produced great mathematicians. When we compare them to their contemporaries we can see that they were surprisingly forward thinking, being the only ones using place value in their geographical and temporal region.
