   In the current aggressive imperialism of the US, some Americans online insist that they don't approve of war and shouldn't be lumped in with the Americans who are banging the drums for war.

   It's not the job of Canadians, Kalaallit (Greenlanders), Panamanians or Gazans to make you feel better and absolve you personally of complicity in potential invasions. We have other things to do.

   It's *your* job to make sure the wars don't happen. Stopping wars is hard; you need to start now.

   I'm going to try to avoid ever telling Microsoft who I am, or letting it start running OneDrive. It seems impossible to get rid of that fucker after it gets a foot in the door, so I'm not letting it in.

   I don't yet know how to do local user accounts or anything like that, so I have some learning to do.

   It's possible I'll eventually crack and give in, but I won't do it if I don't have to.

   Two thoughts are in my head, both equally valid:

   OpenSSD port tunneling is the best thing ever. It's the reason I can do a lot of things that I do.

   It's stupid that Debian's installer doesn't let you continue after partitioning when putting /boot inside an encrypted volume; you have to manually change it after the fact. Which makes sense, they want to prevent you from making an unbootable setup, right?

   Except that encrypted /boot is fully bootable in Libreboot. See:

   Why I Don't Seriously Talk Shit About Myself Anymore:

   (I'm not talking about the occasional self deprecating joke here. I think people can understand the difference for the most part)

   NO ONE LIKES IT! (Except one group, I'll get to that)
   Really, no one likes this, it's annoying, and shuts down conversation. It's not interesting to spend time with someone who is constantly telling you they're garbage and useless.

   The group that does like it are ABUSERS. They will seek it out, they will love bomb you, and then use every negative thing you've said about yourself against you later.

   If you say something long enough people will believe it, and so will you, even more than you already do.

   It's manipulative behavior. Yep, people probably won't like this one, but it is true. Plenty of people, whether they realize it or not, use this to garner attention, and just don't get why it never turns out positive.

   It doesn't actually hold you or anyone else accountable for poor behavior. It's basically saying I can't help my behavior, because my nature is in and of itself bad, therefore you shouldn't expect anything else from me. You are saying you will not or cannot change yourself or your circumstances. This just isn't true.

   Framing was really important for me. It's totally okay to say, This is how I'm feeling right now, to another person, while still knowing that the way you feel in a moment doesn't reflect reality. I would never think the things I think about myself, about other people. (With a few obvious well earned exceptions. I think we all know who I'm talking about LOL)

   You deserve to be loved, you deserve grace, and it starts with you.

   Surely.

   But the messaging in the don't-know-if-this-is-real text is about creating doubt in the minds of those who conflate cutting shady spending and useless people from government, the will of a president as the will of one man, and the will of the people who demanded this change being embodied by the actions of a president.

   It intends to promote the image of an autocrat, and not a president doing exactly what he was elected to do.

   It's propaganda.

   I went outside. I stayed for about an hour but got half the mileage I typically do.

   It was against my inner mom voice.
   I kept thinking if I die here someone will end up remarking how they thought I had better risk management skills.

   The snow is finally melting. In fact, there's very little relatively speaking, but what is there is packed, difficult to cross, and there is a lot of ice (example pics). My usual places are not cleared. Rare areas in direct sun over the last few days have melted to give way to deep mud.

   As I spent a lot of energy trying not to fall, I saw a few bucks running around in the woods and then saw this doe watching me.
