sending me to prison wouldn't so much be a punishment as a reward
"hey, shit, i have mates now, that i see every day!"
in terms of what hardware i'm getting in return for the amount that i'll be paying for the next 3 years, this is a terrible deal. in terms of the software stack, ecosystem, and convenience, literally nothing else can compete. literally only one company in the world delivers exactly what i want. i wish they had some competition.
"Björk" sounds a lot weirder when English speakers say it...
i closed my YouTube account a few days ago and while i've felt some cravings to go there to kill time, they're not that strong. i just do something else to keep myself busy instead.
hardly anyone on here seems interested in psychology and psychiatry. most of the time when i get engagement on those posts, it's because they disagree with the science.

nostr:npub14eng8plhflea40cu3lafnw6nwkxsp5te2v7hzy74lz6a9mjhpaks0wm4rw you must understand that i'm in a situation where i'm not loved by anyone - including family (death and other things caused that to happen). i'm very much on my own. and i'm not good at operating independently.
nostr:npub14eng8plhflea40cu3lafnw6nwkxsp5te2v7hzy74lz6a9mjhpaks0wm4rw my current situation is that i'm kept alive by the welfare system here, but i have no opportunities appearing for me, and all i do on most days is wake up in my apartment and then i just sit there.
nostr:npub14eng8plhflea40cu3lafnw6nwkxsp5te2v7hzy74lz6a9mjhpaks0wm4rw well, it's not so much that i wish for more strife necessarily, but i'd trade away some comfort in return for more heart.

nostr:npub14eng8plhflea40cu3lafnw6nwkxsp5te2v7hzy74lz6a9mjhpaks0wm4rw i have no idea what you're replying to. your post just randomly appeared in my notifications without being attached to anything.
bit of a strange outlook but
when i encounter refugees who are facing family separation and are trying to save their children and spouses
i kind of consider them lucky in a weird way
oh, you have a wife
oh, you have children
oh, you have people in your life to care about who care about you
in a weird way, i'd rather have that than the meaningless safety and comfort i have been granted because i'm born in Norway.

you sometimes see pictures of cats who like to be walked on leashes.
let me assure you: this isn't how most cats react.

the traffic authorities here tell you wear them to be visible to drivers in the dark.
in Norwegian, we call these "refleks" but what is the English word?

nostr:npub12haaqfd9687znhvyjtlew7etg66csqss857em07rvsaw77ephgmqmggj5j yeah, but it can be hard to tell the two apart. a lot of people want to appear confident because it's attractive and projects power.
nostr:npub12haaqfd9687znhvyjtlew7etg66csqss857em07rvsaw77ephgmqmggj5j it's a very old one, then.
nostr:npub12haaqfd9687znhvyjtlew7etg66csqss857em07rvsaw77ephgmqmggj5j it's just the whole area around the eyes. you often see people who have a similar look when women post pictures of male models that they fantasise over.
nostr:npub1w4vftkur96x834ayj6v7lef5hq367pwju4rghkwgd2ujh2ut4x3q0wp4kn i'm not sure you're taking the right thing from it, because people who aren't expression emotions is a different topic than the one i'm addressing.
nostr:npub12haaqfd9687znhvyjtlew7etg66csqss857em07rvsaw77ephgmqmggj5j technically speaking, the "ego" is who you think you are, and everyone has one.
if the ego agrees with who you truthfully are, and you're a resourceful person, it's not too big. it's confidence.
fake confidence superficially looks the same as true confidence, but is vulnerable, which is what you call an "inflated ego". you see this more in men who feel inadequate and are trying to compensate.
but if you lack confidence yourself, both types can get on your nerves. perhaps especially real confidence, because they're annoyingly correct all the time.
tried to draw again tonight, with zero warm-up or preparation. it's about as far as i got in terms of developing my drawing skills before i lost patience.

trying out vegan substitutes for ground meat at the moment. not so much for ideological reasons, but because they sell a soy product at the local supermarket that costs about the same as the cheapest meat option, but they say you should eat less red meat. doesn't taste quite like meat, but it tastes all right, and has plenty of protein, so...
