I post and share photography. Some of my works that I think are mediocre get a lot of attention, and some of my most-loved works are nearly ignored.
But I post for me.
I enjoy seeing your photography and outfits in my feed. You’re a great contributor here :)
Thank you! I put my whole self out there.
Gorgeous shot. My favorite times of day are just before sunrise and sunset, sometimes you get the most spectacular light and color. Where did you take that from?
This came off the Tilikum Bridge over the Willamette River in Portland last night!
I am asking because I stream really boring streams all the time. People are welcome to tune in and check out, and there is no expectation of interaction at all. If someone gets some joy out of watching someone fly in a flight simulator listening to chill music for hours at a time, that’s great.
It reminds me of this youtuber, who has thousands of videos with almost no views.

Personally, I enjoy making neat, easy to follow step-by-step tutorials for my various interests and forwarding them to people who want to learn something I know about. Growing up, I didn’t have anyone to show me things and it was often overwhelming having to figure everything out on my own without a clear starting point, so I don’t want anyone else to feel the same way or to feel ashamed for not knowing something.
I love languages so I would also offer free translation for people’s projects upon request and would also translate song lyrics when translation software was much worse than it is now.
When I can, I donate anonymously to causes I support and donate blood too.
Donating blood has got to be one of the things one does that is just absolutely selfless.
If someone does it to brag or to rizz, they could just lie and say they do it. But actually doing it? 🤟
I tried out to become a donor but my iron levels were too low. 😭
I do it for the biscuits at the end
That being said I haven’t been able to for 6 years now, the organisation that handles it (EFS) does not let you give if you have spent some time in Mayotte (among other places), where I live. Concerns about malaria I think
Out of curiosity, what does EFS stand for?
Établissement Français du Sang
Society of French blood suckers. ;)
It’s two days off, paid, up to a maximum of 10 per year in Croatia. You give blood five times a year, aim for a holiday and can nicely round up a two week vacation.
Wow, that’s a luxury. We don’t get that here. Great incentive.
That’s pretty rad. We just possibly get a T-shirt (I never have lol), sometimes tickets to shows or something, and definitely added to a phone list of “WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR BLOOD” robo-calls from half a billion numbers.
…But I try to get over my needle-phobia long enough to do it occasionally.
I learned my blood type that way. That could save valuable time in a future emergency! Lol
Happy cake day!
Down voting positivity 😆🫰
I almost passed out just listening to someone talk about the benefits of donating blood, blood tests and vaccines result in temporarily losing colour from my vision and needing to lay down for a while to recover. Did register for organ donation back when it was opt in though.
Why did you pass out? Phobia of blood or similar?
I don’t seem to have any problem with blood in any other situation. Probably more from needles under the skin.
Yeah I’m not a fan of sharp things entering the body at all. I’m okay with vaccinations. I look away and let them do their thing. But like, people getting stabbed and stuff, that gives me chills. And stuff going into the skin close to where there are bones, like the hand and foot. Like an IV e.g. Yuck.
I’m the exact opposite. I’m okay with knife wounds, they get my adrenaline pumping but it’s a problem to be solved, so whatever stress it brings can only be focused into taking the steps to solve it. But needles are way more subtle, the concept of this thin little thing slipping between skin to sneak stuff into the body or pull blood out, leaving barely a trace that anything changed. Logically I know they’re great, and I’m very pro-vaccination (ironically part of my job is importing vaccination records for a school district for nurses to track) but the subconscious part of my brain cannot handle it. Needles just give me the heebie jeebies. I’ve been squirming nonstop the entire time writing this.
That’s so crazy how we can be so opposite 😄
The scary part about knives for me is how actually dangerous they are. Like people getting stabbed can die just as easily as from a gunshot wound. Knives wreck one’s insides. And when people stab people they usually don’t just do the one stab. It’s often really going all in. 😭 And like, the feeling of having been stabbed and losing your life semi-slowly. So scary to me.
An excellent human.
Picking up trash when i am walking.
I don’t do it everytime. But sometimes when i see trash on the ground and there is a trash can in the near I will pick it up.
Drink beer. To excess, at least once a week.
Holding the door.
It’s just the bare minimum we should be doing for each other.
I create open source apps (mainly for my own needs). All of them have zero forks and zero stars, but I don’t mind. I love architecting apps and who knows if someone might find any of them useful someday.
Well give us a link and let’s see if they are useful to any of us!
You’re awesome. <3
I have websites that provide technical information on several subjects.
I don’t have ads, I don’t SEO. I just enjoy sharing free knowledge on the internet.
Link? I have a similar thing at samartean-rares.com/. I post whatever info that felt relatively hard to get to me, practical work or whatever I think people may find useful. And yea I don’t think anyone found my website so far but it’s whatever.
I started playing bass guitar on Rocksmith about 5 years ago. I’m in the top ten on most songs on the medium difficulty, and have almost 1000 hours in the game.
I’ve never actually played bass in front of anyone other than my ex, and I’ve never really tried to play without the game.
At first I thought I wanted to get good enough to join a band, or at least play along with my family, all musicians, when they get together, but it turns out I just really enjoy spending a Friday night with a half pint of whiskey and jamming alone with headphones.
we need to jam though
that same feeling with some cool peeps is the fuckin bees knees man
watching where the music goes
hell yeah i need to get my drums back together!

Drawing, I did a drawing recently of my persona Mew. I saw a movie with a drawn character and I became inspired enough to sit and draw for once.
I do quite a bit of unauthorized trail maintenance. I guess helping other people is a big motivation for it but it’s not like I get any credit for it as nobody is there to see me do it. It’s just something I do because I then feel good about having done it.
jackin off
Donating to KDE and Signal. Though now that I’ve said it, it’ll sound like I do it for validation…!
I donate a small amount to Wikipedia every month
Alright here is your validation
Exercise. Partly because I’ve gotten into a sport, but I also just enjoy seeing myself get into better shape even though I’m getting older. Things that felt physically impossible to do 90 days ago feel like a breeze now. Being at my desk for 8 -12 hours out of the day is way more exhausting than spending 2 - 3 hours at the gym.
