What a cutie :)

Thats beautiful!!

Thank you for explaining. This is a good post

What does manumitted mean?

What an absolutely goofy word. Thanks for teaching me something!

First, please don’t kill yourself. Ultimately, none of us can make the decision, but from one deeply unwell dysfunctional human to another, I prefer this world with you in it

Thats a really hard situation to be in. I’m also really struggling to adapt to functioning in this world, it’s a really hard place to be. I think two things can be true. Its valid for them to be upset that you weren’t cleaning and whatnot around the appointment. And at the same time, that doesn’t make you a bad person. Sometimes when you’re unwell, you struggle to handle your responsibilities.

That doesnt make you a bad person, it makes you unwell and struggling to handle your responsibilities. Regardless of whether they’re understandably frustrated with the situation.

I wish there was more support I could give, but I’m sending love 🫂

This makes me really happy, I’m glad you shared this :)

I’m curious what you like about them, I’ve only ever heard anyone say they hate them, or replaced them with cabin lights

Here’s my small collection lol, I use all of them at the same time every day cause I have very little access to sunlight and theyre used to treat my sleep disorder. Behind the smaller lamps is also a pair of light therapy glasses

Some things worth knowing: they can trigger manic episodes in folks with bipolar disorder, and won’t produce vitamin d like the sun, as they shouldn’t emit any UV, so if you have a vitamin D deficiency you’ll still need a supplement or sunlight. And you need to sit within the correct distance from them for them to work properly, it will vary depending on the lamp and a decent lamp should tell you that distance in the user guide/manual

Try not to use them too late in the day, as that can screw with your sleep- if you dont have my sleep disorder you should be okay to just go by when the sun is up or has set, as a guideline for it being too late

Carex makes the nicest ones I’ve used by far (thats what the big one in my pic is, though an older model, they have nicer ones out now). There are some other brands that make less expensive ones, but they may not be as bright or have as ideal of a light spectrum. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I’m not an expert but my condition has necessitated learning a lot about these things

I believe the slate is an ev if you’re talking about an internal combustion engine

Man, I wish I cost $7000000. We gotta stop setting unreasonable standards

Alien is 100% an excellent example! Its one of my favorite examples of the aesthetic ☺️

Thats fucking beautiful lmao

Yeah cassette futurism is an aesthetic subgenre of retrofuturism that imagines a SciFi future where the capabilities of technology are greater but its still has the construction and aesthetic of tech from the era of cassettes

So like the way theyre still using CRTs and magnetic tape media in Blade Runner but they can zoom and enhance, there are androids that mimic humans, and they have flying cars

Its SciFi but the technology that powers the future is frozen in time, like with steam punk, atom punk, and disel punk

There’s a more active cassette futurism comm, I didn’t realize this was a different one and is empty: !cassettefuturism@lemmy.world And its predecessor from before lemm.ee shut down !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee

They were created in the image of a reddit sub by the same name. Any would give some examples of what cassette futurism looks like- that being said I’m delighted I saw this lol. You could also share this on one of the Loops comms if you haven’t already and would like to :)

Ah interestimg, it makes a bit more sense now within the context of the practices from the time period, though the article you linked seems to suggest the practice didn’t have much environmental impact

thanks for the additional context :)

It sounds like he was protesting against nuclear power, not bombs… Can’t say I’m on board with his agenda in that case

That was fucking fantastic, what a fun way to hear a familiar song with new ears

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the dimensions, thats helpful context!

Thats 0.8 × 4.5 × 1.8 inches for anyone more familiar with imperial :)

Man, in the thumbnail he looks a whole lot like Robbin Williams

This isnt quite what the sub is for and I do not understand it, but I’m glad you’re having fun lol

Please explain chuck tingle I simply must know more

I think translating ICE related materials and resources into more languages is gonna be really important…
