Baffling

Ayyy *rimshot*

See but I had a psychiatrist as a kid that would literally report what I said to my mother (and not like harming others or myself like is legally required, just like, shit that I said I didn't like about my mom and then he'd tell her and she'd punish me about it.) Legally, he was allowed to do that since I was a child, I'm not now and so legally they can't even if they had her phone number, but now I can't trust them even if that distrust is slightly illogical. Double distrust due to incentive to make me return and keep paying, but y'know the childhood "trauma" (if you can call it that) of having it weaponized against me using the therapist is still there on that one too.

You have to be kidding, men don't have trauma. If they do they're weak.

Wait..

Phallic Assured Destruction?

She needs to be transferred to basically any subject other than biology, seeing as she has clearly demonstrated her lack of knowledge on the subject.

I've legit just started:

"Can you stop shaking your leg?"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm literally physically unable to control it, so, no I can't stop. Sorry."

I'm not even trying to be funny or lying, just deadpan matter of fact truth: no, I cannot.

Yeah I hate being understanding when my gf is sick or on her period too, like man up and wash them dishes bitch!

Oooooor you could be more understanding if one of you is under the weather regardless of gender I guess if you wanna be a loser.

For sure, women usually say they want a man who can show his feelings. It's just that the second he does cry about anything other than a dead child, she gets the ick and loses all respect for him, in my personal experience. I think they talk a big game but when the chips are down they find out they're not actually as into it as they thought.

Thanks, I hope you do too!

Might have to check out Doctor Werthless, thanks for the rec!

how do you meet people for the purpose of dating?

I don't. I work and go home, go to the grocery store or other errands sometimes, and occasionally walk some nearby trails to a spot I can smoke a joint and read a book by a creek. That's it. I can't meet people at the stores because women just want to do their business without being bothered (be they customer or employee), everyone at work is married or dating (half of them to each other, no less), and on the trails they'd rather I was a bear than some random stoner with a used book, so I can't meet them there either. Commonly I'm told I should join a gym or find a hobby like you, by what I can only assume is a guy who found his wife in 1986, but then I'm also told by like actual women (trans inclusive) they don't like it when the 6000th guy hits on them at those places, so idk who to believe but so far I'm believing the women. The bars and apps are conducive to hook ups and flings not lasting relationships, which isn't what I'm looking for, and in addition to the bar's clientelle being on average heavier drinkers that I'm seeking and the apps being spyware and pay to play.

I'll come back to this thread to peruse myself though, hopefully there'll be something more than "get lucky" and "transition and become poly" by the time I come back lol. Already trying the "just be lucky" option and transitioning is a little more than I'm willing to do just to get a date, since I'm not trans lmao.

Got it: next time this happens to me reply "damn that's rough."

This little scaredy cat got into the warehouse in which I work, and someone had to save her so I did. I recently asked about integrating her into my house with my 2y old cat.

So far, she's been quarantined in a separate room, she's got a bite on her foot I wasn't told about that looks partially healed, but still not great, and so I'll have to figure that out first. I have a cone on the way to stop her from licking at it until I can get her to the vet (who was supposed to email me yesterday...c'mon guys kitty need help!) Unclear if the bite came from one of the dogs inside the warehouse, or (lord I hope not, but...honestly I think so..), the raccoon she was spotted near a few days before she gained entry to the warehouse. I have a pic if anyone wants to see it, but it looks like a lil puncture wound (not exactly cute) so I'm only going to if someone requests 'cause they wanna help (as much help as that can be, need the vet for sure but advice is always welcome in the meantime!!)

She's terrified, but, that's probably normal? I mean, she's a wounded stray captured in a humane trap and then was fostered in a bathroom for a while until I got her in her own room. It's been like 26hr since I got her here, I'd be scared too. That said, she'll hiss and hiss but won't bite or scratch, when she hisses I'll pause and slow blink, then keep going, when I reach her she'll let me pet her, pick her up, starts purring and rubbing her face into the pets, y'know, cat stuff. So, pretty good? Idk! I've only adopted from humane rescues so far this is kiiiinda my first "found it in a dumpster" cat.

My tubby kitty, resident idiot... Idk if she's even noticed, despite the new kitten using her separate box (clearly "smells" involved there wafting under the door) and she definitely heard her meowing at me (begging for release into the wild) about 1h ago. Doesn't seem to care at all, who knows with this dingus! Maybe they'll become fast friends when they see each other, here's hoping!

Here's another pic, of her deciding I may not be so bad after all, of course she'll forget this next time I walk in...

List is up, come and get it!

Robot Tod #2 - I was able to score the first one and picked it up after Jordan reccomended it. I actually haven't gotten around to it just yet (which is the theme this week, actually...I've been busy as hell.) Like the art though so I'll grab this too if my shop gets it.

Geiger #13 - Good ol Geiger, still my 2nd favorite of the Ghost Machine stuff. Hyde St takes the top.

Moon Is Following Us #8 - Behind but I'll get to em!

Jumpscare #2 - I like the art, I think I missed #1 I'll have to grab both.

That's it for me this week, maybe I'll even read some lol. What're you pulling?

 

Ok little backstory, I had cat, rescued another, the first has since passed but the second (Ripley) is still here. Another cat broke into our warehouse at work and someone needs to rescue it, and the duty has fallen on me. Ripley did OK as a kitten with my other cat, but since becoming an only-cat she has had scant interactions with strays coming up to my glass door, but she tries to fight them every time lol. I think she'll come around though.

Here's the plan, gonna clean out my "spare" room and make the new kitten a fort in there with a freshly washed blanket, get her some toys of her own, own box and food etc. I'm gonna keep em completely separated for a couple days, then swap them for a few hours to let them explore the other's scent, then swap back, rinse and repeat for like a week?ish? Once they start sniffing under the door and stuff I'm going to try and let them see but not touch each other (and have no clue how I'll achieve this, any ideas would be helpful!) and then after a few of those if no hissing occurs and they seem chill, let them meet finally.

Both cats female, current resident is about 2-3, new resident is less than 1yo. Will get all the shots and spay, of course. Shots ASAP for sure, spey idk if I should wait until they're friends?

Any tips? Sounds pretty good? Typed a little rushed on break at work, sorry, just found out I'm taking the cat lol.

 

New list is up! Let's see here..

Let This One Be A Devil #2 - Still sleeping on #1 but I'm sold, it's James Tinyon (or however he spells it) and it's about the Jersey Devil.

Hyde Street #5 - Missing #4, need that one too.

Lucky Devils #3 - I've been loving this so far, two punk devils upending their corporate hellstructure.

Cruel Kingdom #4 - missing #3... I love my shop but they've been having some issues getting things..

Well that's it for me, what're you guys pulling this week?

Weird bug? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I just ran into the weirdest bug using meshtastic, I don't even know where to start searching for answers so I figured I'd see if anyone here had any ideas.

So, I'm using a t1000e in pocket/on the go and a heltec v3 in a window upstairs. Both are connected to MQTT on a local channel [State Redacted]Mesh. I've been home for a few hours now and neglected to switch from the t1000e to the V3, TX and RX the whole time from the t1000e. I just noticed and said "ah let me turn off the pocket and switch to the home node," switched over, and all the messages sent hours ago doubled up and got reposted to the mesh somehow just from switching nodes. I know this because the second I switched the room's bot posted a joke, and last person to call !joke was me, 7h ago, and when I commented on it someone said "yeah you just reposted something you said hours ago."

What the hell?! Any ideas? Problem started today afaik, haven't changed any settings. I don't want to spam the SRMesh with hours old messages for no reason lmao. I do not have store and forward on.

Edit: Forgot about this part!

The other weird thing is if I hit traceroute on someone from the SRMesh, nothing happens (but it should be "direct," because "mqtt"), I can do a bunch of them and nothing, but then when I switch nodes and back again all the traceroute windows pop up at once like 1998 popups. WAT.

Edit again: Guy in the mesh said "I had some weird shit going on once, not exactly this, but try deleting the app cache."

It worked. Didn't even have to delete storage.

Edit No. what, 3?: Spoke too soon, it's back, and it isn't just me. Turned off MQTT on all but one node, whatever.

 

Sorry I'm late lol, was sick as hell yesterday! New list is up, some good shit this week!

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #4 - Minor Threats always rules, I think I missed the other new one, I can't remember the name though.

Into The Unbeing Part Two #2 - definitely missed #1, part one was pretty weird, I'll continue it if In can without going online.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #7 - YES

Lucky Devils #3 - Just read the first two, I'm in. Two Devils (not the devil) upending their corporate underworld's structure. This shit is right up my alley.

 

New list is up! Really short for me this week it seems, just one:

Sacrificers #15 - I'm still loving this series!

Well that's it lol. What're you pulling?

 

From The World Of Minor Threats Welcome To Twilight #1 - More Minor Threats, not the OGs but so far it's all good, so I'm in. The world itself it just so neat, I want to know more about the city itself almost more than its "notable" inhabitants. I want to know about the day to day, see some background on stuff only mentioned or hinted at, it's just so neat!

Defiant #1 - Looks ok, but "for fans of Dune, Firefly.." well that is me, so I'll grab it.

Assorted Crisis Events #1 - Weird time travel shit, could be neat!

Geiger #12 - Still going

Hive #2 - Yeesh I should read #1 tomorrow...

Moon Is Following Us #7 - behind on it but still picking them up.

Well that's it for me, what're y'all pulling?

 

I'd rather ask my piracy and privacy respecting community here where it can benefit us all than read some dumb gismodo link called "top 15 android torrent clients," so, what are people using for some light android torrenting these days? Preferably something on f-droid if ya got it!

 

New list is up! Short one for me this week it seems

Hyde Street #4 - My favorite Ghost Machine title so far.

Cruel Kingdom #3 - Might have missed #2, but #1 was good!

That's it lol, what are you grabbing this week?

Unrecognized nodes? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Got my first two devices on tuesday and I've been traveling around with them! Seems the t114 has much better range but is a less convenient package of course (and damn amazon didn't ship my GPS module, so now that is on the way with an upgraded antenna and a heltec v3 cause why not?)

I've been able to make a few connections, but I had a couple questions about some of them.

I've been able to connect to a few nodes around town, even got one reply, but there seems to be two categories of nodes, some "recognized" and some "unrecognized." Does anyone know why that could be? Can I still talk to them if they're unrecognized, and/or do they still route packets? Can I fix that or do the other nodes' owners have to?

Glad I finally got into it, been having fun and apparently my area has some activity (even if I'm in a deadzone at the bottom of a hill for now.)

Edit: Ok I keep forgetting about redlib so I think I don't have access to Ye Olde Country because VPN and I refuse all apps, but I just remembered and searched there! So if anyone else has this question like me it seems that:

Simply not enought packets have arrived to get that info

No nodeinfo received. Either wait longer or request user info manually.

And

These appear to be running an older version of the meshtastic firmware [pre-2.5] which likely do not have an updated public key.

 

New list is up! Short one for me, which is fine because instead of picking up last week I got into meshtastic and let my comics sit in my box lol. Let's see..

Toxic Avenger #5 - The End. Was better than it should have been!

Black Hammer Spiral City #4 - Mantis P.I. has been good so far.

Warm Fusion #2 - I think I missed #1?

Space Ghost #10 - Behind as hell but still picking them up.

Well that's it for me, what're you pulling?
