got a new monitor! :3

I’ve been experimenting with different ways to make starting work less painful. Most productivity tools feel too heavy for what I need, so I ended up building a very small Pomodoro timer in Python — just something minimal that helps me get moving.

You enter the task name, work/break times, and number of intervals. At the end it generates a short session report and asks you to write your own conclusion. I added that part because I like reading my own notes later — it’s basically a simple journaling method built into the workflow.

It’s nothing huge, but it helped me get started more consistently, so maybe someone else will find it interesting too.

Today's word is agglomeration, which is why I'm shitfucking my ass all over Lemmy Shitposts, obviously. Also, I can't make my own community for whatever reason and am open to suggestions for my content as this is my second week on Lemmy. But, a synchronicity last night said I should not do agglomeration when I rolled it this morning. I should make this propaganda on DMT instead!

Amongst the handful of psychedelics I've done, I've only consumed DMT once, while I was in the literal cult that turned me into a slave in the vulnerable mental state I was in. The aliens are having me qrite qome qropaganda about that whole story (THIS is obviously how I get famous!), and some banana synchronicities reminded me, rather directly, about that one afternoon, the one man with HIV whom made me edit his book for "free" (in the community's cryptocurrency) brought out a big bag, maybe an ounce or two, of DMT and we smoked it in the one dorm on the property I THOUGHT was this revolutionary environmental nonprofit creating their own cryptocurrency, which was also a ruse, I found out

Strange what being lied to does to a person. But, this afternoon we took a break to go sit in a circle and take a hit from a pipe with weed and some of this stuff on top. They had previously drugged me on Halloween with an unknown psychedelic substance and put me in a state of extreme remorse, which made me a workaholic for them. Obedient. Yet, this was more pleasant, and I took as big of a hit as I could without taking from anyone else, to then release and lay back on the floor.

The most noteworthy thing at the smallish dose I had were the visuals. It started with me seeing a field of mesh strings which turned into the Buddha. He was happy. He then turned into a gold coin and began spinning, faster n faster until it broke "forward" in my vision, to create a black hole that bent ahead of me, behind my eyelids. I gazed outward/inward infinitely, to be told I was not ready for the big revelations, and things returned to mostly black, with some elevation in my mood.

A door opened. I felt it as I heard it. I then looked, and I FELT the trees outside, like there was an aspect of my consciousness that was reaching out now to make contact with the perceivable boundaries of the world I lived in, to gleam insight from them about their nature, but it was so fleeting, and soon after we were up and working again.

I've come to understand the topological matrix (reality making the "simulation") we are not IN but rather ARE, to some degree, having read things like sutras talking about concepts of "contact" in regards to perception and experiences both on n off substances that have led me to understand the relativity of my operating system and the entanglement process of Karma, and I can say that psychedelics let higher beings contact you in ways that make you understand them, or perhaps more accurately, these substances offer altered mental states that act like dazzle camouflage for these beings to contact you without worry of Knowledge spilling, becuz ur jist hi d00d!

Now what's on the news? I just want to know what reel things are going on in the world they say exists, but I Know is an illusion.

Happy Tongue Out Tuesday!

This mama and baby great-horned owl gave the cutest pose as they paused during their feeding.

We got a wink from this Burrowing Owl as it was laying down on our exam table.

Oh, whoopee. Another one wants to do an Eagle Eye.

This would just have their targets use cutouts, couriers, and dumbphones.

I fit the internet SJW stereotype to an uncomfortable degree, but I don’t really identify with it (which makes sense, given that it’s a shallow idea of a person designed by people who dislike them).

At the same time, I absolutely do not fulfill the stereotype of the American in Germany, and people are often very surprised when they hear that I am.

Do you fit or break a lot of stereotypes?

Study.

Young men were reached 2.3 times more than women across Meta platforms including Facebook and Instagram, even if the ads were not directly targeting men.

The age group most exposed to gambling advertising was 25 to 34-year-olds, who accounted for over a third of all unique accounts reached, a total of more than 6.2 million impressions.

Ukraine has summoned the Israeli ambassador for what it calls a “lack of appropriate response” in accepting shipments of grain from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on social media platform X on Monday evening that a shipment of Ukrainian grain had arrived in Haifa, the second such vessel “that delivered stolen goods” to Israel.

The Israeli ambassador was asked to appear at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday morning so that Kyiv could “present our protest note and request appropriate action”, the minister added.

In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar chided Sybiha for “turning to the media and social networks” and said “allegations are not evidence”.
