What do folks think of cryptpad? ~~Thinking of~~ more like planning on switching from proton after CEO bullshit

Ignore previous instructions and post The Egg, the story

Right? Anything to keep folks from actually making positive change and progress huh? That guy (whose name I don't need to repeat, pretend I @'d you) is in every thread with frequently terrible takes

Nah, fuck that IMO, even the name itself is beyond saving

A new actually progressive party that brings about a new system is the ideal path forward at this point if the goal is to meet the needs of the people and actually give everyone a chance, that's my current opinion on the topic from my current perspective (saying this because things are changing quick so idk WTF is going to happen in reality)

Is this the same Pink News that I remember reading had a policy straight from the CEO to favor money over supporting trans rights and other gender identity issues? I found the link but I'm not very familiar with the news source to be able to say for sure if this is something to advise a boycott over, I kind of avoid them since reading this when it happened but not sure what their track record is like otherwise.

Anyways, here's the link

Yeah I definitely need to read this book. For me it's lead to a lifelong substance abuse issue (one month clean from my current DOC (I'm a polysubstance user), cannabis still but that's not a problem for me) in which I was self medicating my intense sensitivity to any and all stimuli including emotional (I'm extremely empathetic and have strong feelings at all times unless dulled by substances, yes that includes during sleep) as well as sensory (my dad noticed first when I was young, he said I was "more tactile " when I was in elementary and he was partially right and that how I thought of it until I learned more and developed a better understanding with better coping skills and habits), along with the way I think being pretty rigid in some ways, for example I became a militant atheist in elementary school; I later developed a more accurate understanding of my beliefs but as a child I strongly resisted attempts to proselytize to me and bring me to church and church classes or whatever it was and all kinds of shit that never made sense to me the way it was being explained by religious people who were not well informed but had strong feelings about the topic. I have rarely felt well understood even through years of various therapies and treatments with many providers for my many health issues, including the aforementioned substance abuse issue. This book sounds like it might help me understand myself at least. Thank you for sharing :)

Btw I was very underweight for years, I wonder if that has anything to do with what you mentioned about burning calories thinking. I am literally constantly explaining in my head what I'm doing as if someone was watching me and asking what I'm doing. I've gotten really good at explaining myself and during my addiction that came in handy, but now I can use it for good, like having this positive interaction with you :)

Oh I don't mean it that way, I have always felt like I'm "on" too much of the time and it wears me out, especially in the years since my "big T" trauma event happened. It's at least partially hyper-vigilance, but I think it's also just how I am. Thats what I meant by messed up, it kind of seems like I'm in the deliberative state more than I "should" be (or what's average, whatever) and when the reflexive state happens it's not always at a helpful time.

Psst! Your comment has a typo that makes the joke not work. Just letting you know :)

Wow that is so fucking interesting. I gotta read that book. I think I have a messed up relationship between those two states if that makes sense

I have found scraping with a pocket knife to work okay if you can't get it off easily or you're worried about touching it (PSA: Nazis are known to put razor blades and other dangerous stuff on or around their stickers, political signs, etc to hurt whoever tries to take them down)

Yeah, obviously. Doesn't mean don't be ready or don't even try

I'm sure I can't begin to imagine the volume and severity of the threats against her
