What a fantastic video, thanks for sharing <3

Just a real slice if life.

Just a slow hug (or whatever equivalent you prefer)

Yes!

But also, now that I think about it a little more I think that it is also a problem with the interface:

having the button to the inventory in that menu, and not even as the first item, is kind of strange. Of the options in that menu I would guesstimate that I would use it to open the inventory 99,5% percent of the times I entered the menu.

Imho the inventory should be opened by a button in the HUD, probably by an additional square with an icon in the bottom inventory row.

Not sure… It seems that the correct¹ word is used, but I don’t think I have ever played a game with an inventory in my native language (which luanti picked up from the system default language) so I just didn’t think of clicking that button.

1: correct, as in used in other games for the translation of “inventory”

Thank you!

Was going crazy…

For some reason the word used by my languages translation just didn’t make me think of in-game inventory but rather of app+mods-storage on my device.

Should probably think about that for a bit!

Hello, what a fun initiative!

Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work on mobile (android) because I couldn’t figure out how to open my inventory (= no crafting, etc)…

I’ll keep looking and if I find a solution I’ll post it here.

Well, I’m sure these grey haired people would be more than happy to hike with you and introduce you (more or less subtly) to the people they have in their life of your approximate age and gender-preference.

As they are older (and not just more stressed) they are still used to help people meet “organically”.

Nvm, this was the actual definition, my bad. Stimming at wikipedia

I guess I had read it, but didn’t remember it, so it felt like an original thought.

Leaving this here, but might as well delete if that is preferred.

What 10 executive orders did he withdraw after issuing this one?

I admit, my reply does not truly fit here but I think this is the best place (in the current state of this topic) to make a point I think is important and difficult to navigate

I do think individuals state of mind, intentions and actions are the way to bring about change but I also think it’s important to not fall into consumerism-patterns.

Like how recycling or buying an electric car is pushed as a solution for climate change when what’s needed is global cooperation and policy change wrt resource management.

The positive individual actions we can take do make our own lives and the lives of the people around us better and we get a stronger, more resilient local community.

By building that strong community we do get a platform to launch ourselves towards the greater society we live in to demand change either by reform or revolution (depending in what’s possible and/or most adequate).

See for example this Community building post in the Betterment and praxis community.

I’ve been thinking a lot about dignity lately. I don’t think I can define dignity well at all but I’m still pretty sure it has something to do with world peace[1] and a bright future for humankind.

As for how to do it, I don’t know, sry.

[1] where peace is not the same as the absence of military conflict but more like peaceful coexistence and cooperation.

I’m in favour of https://freesewing.org/ as part of a future rabbit hole for sewing clothes as the whole process to take all the measures and reading the rest of the material is really good info and provided me with an understanding I didn’t have before.

Also the license!

Thanks, this looks promising, I’ll investigate.

But also thanks for giving me the word “delayed” to use in my searches. Sometimes it’s hard to remember good synonyms.

Thanks, but not really as the “time capsule” feature would be lost since the email would be sitting in my future-/scheduled-folder.

But in the end that might be what I end up doing if I can’t find a suitable service.

I’m still quite bad at saying no and exiting situations, but I have become much better than before.

Some things I have done and try to remember to do:

• I practiced saying “no” to everything for a while. That was really uncomfortable!
• Declaring that I need time to think about something (as others have said here) can be effective. Like with scams/clickbait/up-selling/etc: if the other is trying to induce urgency they most likely don’t want you to think about it rationally.
• Segway:ing into outs with the standard phrase (and a slightly rises voice): “Oh, that reminds of…” and either change the subject completely or lying about needing to go and do something else.
• Calling people out on their bullshit but without showing any interest in talking further about it: “That is just not true”, “This isn’t something I want to talk about”, “If you keep talking about this I will leave” and then obviously leave if necessary.

I’m really not qualified in any way to state the below, just trying to draw from my personal experience and express what I think is useful and relevant in this situation.

English is not my first language

Honestly I think it is more useful and helpful to focus on the second part of the equation: exiting the situation.

Exiting situations is a tremendously useful life skill regardless of the other person(s) intentions while spotting people with bad intentions could become a burden as it might lead you down a path of mistrusting many more persons than you “need” to mistrust.

Learning to say “no” in different and effective ways is also a way to learn to say yes and will, in my experience, let you live a life closer to what you want.

I suspect that I’m still early on my path to communicate this effectively because I was not really listened to as a child, so my feelings and wishes where not seen as relevant to a situation.

As for how to do it: I don’t really have anything groundbreaking to give you. But as with most things I suspect it’s just practice: start saying no! And start acknowledging how you feel or felt even if it’s too late to do anything about it as that can teach yourself to look for clues (inside yourself) in the future (maybe).

I think there are a few of those, but as with everything targeted to scared relatives/caretakers it is quite expensive and hard to tell how it will age.

Nope, that is a good point.

I think I wrote my original message in a slightly distressed state after a quite bad event where she needed to get in contact with anybody and couldn’t.

After some thinking and time away from that scary incident it is quite clear that this mostly is a XY situation (as someone thought) and just getting her a bracelet for her alarm is probably as big a technological fix there can be.
