Man I love GIMP, it holds such a special place in my heart since I discovered it as a kid in the late aughts. There was this podcast Meet the GIMP I loved and watched on my iPod. All these years and many seizures later and I still remember the host and his voice... Rolf Steinhort I think.

It would be neat if you could "subscribe" to a post to get notified of any activity.

I feel so lucky my parents went with Michigan instead of Tennessee (family in both)... It has been pretty much painless to get on HRT, change all my names, change my gender marker even on my birth certificate, etc. All as an adult though. So far I've never had issues in the bathrooms, though I'm almost never in rural areas, that could be a very different story.

It's just as silly as using darn or frick, except they have none of the punch which is the purpose of swear words, ya know?

What a time to be alive... just to be able to see views like this... Just sad I'll probably never get to go to space or another planet :(

I'm glad you called it Aotearoa because I had never heard it called that before. Happy to have learned that today.

The amount of work put into recreating these events in 3d as well, is just amazing. I didn't actually know what happened to the shooter so it "fun" to watch events unfold.

Hi there, I've been in that "wouldn't mind if something happened" phase for five years or so, with spurts of active ideation. I have chronic tonic clonic (lmfao) seizures (epilepsy), have chronic depression, I've developed agoraphobia and have been self-isolating similar to you. I've also lost 35lbs the past couple years from an already less-than-healthy weight. Every therapy session is about food and it's exhausting. Every week it's "what got in your way of eating?", "what am I missing?", "How can we make it easier to eat next week?"... (it's good therapy, just frustrating).

I'm a good friend but whenever my friends ask about me I feel like I never have anything but doom and gloom when they're off living l vibrant lives (not without their own struggles of course). So it's hard to feel like it's worth being my friend and like I'm doing them a favor pulling away.

Probably nothing helpful in there, just turned into my own venting... Lol. But if you don't currently see a psychologist or therapist please do look into it.

Aw fun! I watch the 25th anniversary concert with Alfie Boe (and yes Nick Jonas lol) regularly ☺️

Moved to Kalamazoo in 2015 for school and haven't left, really love it here and it sounds like a good fit for OP maybe. From my experience, pretty good remote/wfh options.

Actually, no. In this case, everyone is only loved by one person–whoever brought them in. All love the flows down from the top to the newest members.

The actually design flaw is that you aren't loved by the people you love, and you don't love the people who love you 💀

Then of course the person at the top (sorry OP) is loved by nobody, and then last members have nobody to love. But if the final members love OP, that would create a nice positive feedback loop, as it were.

Not sure what DT is but I hope he can get some help and you see him as many more times as you'd like.
