I have never respected a medical professional more than the one i woke up to find sitting on the end of my hospital bed, hugging his own knees, and saying "OMG please stop being sick. We have no idea what is going and are doing everything we can! but this is extreme!".
I'm not dead because a Chief of Medicine in a faraway city was determined to treat me as a patient, and to fully admit he was not at all that sure of himself at times
I am very intolerant textbook confidence since then.
@johannab exactly. There is no “the one true book” that has all the answers, in medicine or elsewhere, and we all need to have the humility to accept that we simply don’t know most things. But we can hard to try and find out.

NO ONE, ESPECIALLY VETERANS, SHOULD BE HOMELESS
Would be better without the ‘especially veterans’ part. WTF makes veterans so special? Why is a homeless veteran more concerning than any other homeless person?
I am a veteran, by the way. But fuck this shit.

I appear to have the theme from Fireman Sam playing on loop in my brain you're welcome
for just no intelligible reason at all, another useful and minimalistic (!) project was lost to the slop
Set an alarm so you remember to eat regular meals if you have a tendency to get caught up in work and forget.

Felt this way about lemm.ee :(
Reddit is getting a For You feed https://www.theverge.com/tech/1020751/reddit-for-you-following-feeds

Yay, more algorithmic bullshit...
@racheled Most web developers have no idea about web developing.
I always tell people that accessibility people explain to people that earn three times as much how their job works.
It's an enormous knowledge deficit, because frontend, apart from React, is all not real programming, you know… 🙄
Back in Spain for almost a week now. A huge difference compared to Romania. At least here people are much nicer, you can go for walks in nature....etc...
But, still I feel like I am sucked into a black hole of problems. Days feel shorter and darker. Maybe because there is less light too, so literally darker as well. But time passes by so fast the older you get. And more problems the older you get.
Will try to do my best to stabilize my life and work on TROM again, but honestly it feels like endless roadblocks in my way.
Some nights I look at park4night at the places we've been to with Tortuge (the camper)...wonderful memories. That life ended up so fast and abruptly. And in such a shitty way. My dream was to go travel with Sasha with the camper, create a yearly trade-free event, write more TROM Articles, make more videos, go volunteer, have a diverse and meaningful life, for both of us. I was so close to that, then it fell off a cliff.
I am trying my best to still dream about such a lifestyle even if it is just me. But now with my father having a lot of health problems, my parents now in Spain, the future is something that scares me and I refuse to think about. For context my father had 5 strokes in 1 year. He has severe problems with understanding where things are in space, recognizing objects, difficult to orient himself....can barely speak, cannot read or write, very difficult to use his hands....basically needs constant care and my mother who is almost 70 cannot by herself take care of him. We got them to Spain, were able to rent a flat for 6 months because in Spain renting long term is a wet dream....everyone only rents for the season. Maximize the profit, of course. Bless the Trade Society.
We have a lot of plans to do and problems to solve.
I wonder how to find happiness in such a situation. And where.
At least I am lucky that the human invented world, the bullshit jobs, money, ownership, nationalities and countries,, all of that is not all it is. In fact is a simplistic and primitive world that humans have invented. I am lucky that the real reality of atoms, evolution, galaxies and quasars lets me feel part of something special and important. It would be hell on earth if all it was, was the human world.
At least this fact keeps me afloat.
Is been 3 days since I stopped taking my sleeping pills. At least that is an improvement. However I feel like I would start using them again...
Anyway, my life sucks but I have to fight to not let it suck for too long, else what's the point....will do my best to focus on TROM....videos, a new article about AI. Will try!
Rant done!

Shocking
/me gets very annoyed when someone who covers events in some specific country on a professional or semi-professional level keeps mispronouncing names of people or places in that country
and, like, i get that some places have localized names and languages have phonological differences; i'm not going to expect people to talk about how they went to italy and traveled from Roma to Venezia and then visited Napoli or to expect someone to accurately say the tones in the names of chinese politicians
but if the city or person in question has no "localized name", i think it's one's duty to at least try and get the basic sounds right
like, both russian and ukrainian dictionaries have little stress marks over vowels to indicate where the word's stress lies, and you still hear people say "dmitri médvedev" or "volódymyr zelenskyy" even though you can easily look those names up and see they're actually "medvédev" and "volodýmyr"
english, russian and ukrainian all have lexical stress and don't restrict where it can be placed, am i wrong for expecting transcribed versions of names to actually match it?
