There are many topics I would like to discuss here but sadly my shyness and mental health don't help. It's like idk how to talk to people online. It's frustrating, really. I don't want my account to be a repository of reposts. I want to have a more active role here but it's been very difficult.

Honestly, I think it might my fav Keanu Reeves too. I did like his role in 'Point Break' as well, but 'Speed' is also a guilty pleasure of mine too.

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

This is the best way to fight fascism. Fascists understand violence, and know how to respond to that… But they don’t understand mockery.

Like, they want to be like “Portland is a war zone,” sooo hard, but it’s just a bunch of people in inflatable frog suits, lol

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Phone companies charged according to how long you used it so it was mostly used to send short messages. I saw it in some old or historical movies & I was fascinated by a typewriter that typed itself. That was bc it was at the receiving end. They even had their own phone number.

I find some old technology interesting. This is a Telex machine or Teletype or Teleprinter. It may seem like a typewriter but in the days before internet and even fax, this was the fastest way to send a message. It even allowed you to "talk" in real time, like a chat.

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Corporate shitposting needed to be smothered in the crib, istg

I must've missed this back in March. I didn't know your books were pirated and then "fed" to Meta's LLM. I'd be f****ing pis**d off if that happened to me too. Sorry this is happening to you. You deserve better than this.

And I'm aware the brain lies to us, specifically the subconscious "wiring" of the brain which is responsible for fear. Nevertheless, I'm still trying. Maybe some day I'll find some good company. Oh and by the way, it's also been a joy to interact with you, my friend. 💚

MacMcPherson @macmcpherson.bsky.social · 7d

You touched some very important points there. I too suffer from bad self esteem and fear of getting hurt, and also have poor social skills. But I do want to find company. Good company. It's just that I don't know how to do that, likely because of the aforementioned poor social skills.

MacMcPherson @macmcpherson.bsky.social · 7d

I have come to terms with that, to a small degree. My dificulty is finding those who might enjoy my company. My shy and introvert nature makes it difficult to find someone to call a friend or even an acquittance. Both online and irl. But I'm trying.
