there was a mural of this nearby where i lived in austin, but i could never find out who did it because my google searches just showed seemingly random results when i searched for “hi, how are you”

adding in “daniel johnston” into the search terms has finally made me aware of it’s background and the wikipedia article about it is bizarre considering that i first became of aware of it when i witnessed the austin police beat up and harass homeless and clearly mentally unwell people nearby an advertisement version saying “thai how are you” and the wiki article says this:

In 2018, the Mayor of Austin, Texas, declared January 22 (Johnston’s birthday) to be “Hi, How Are You Day”, a day dedicated to mental health awareness funded by the non-profit organisation of the same name.

now knowing that it gained widespread popularity due to kurt cobain makes it feel like a formerly niche cultural reference has been co-opted by the mainstream and now its original intention is so far gone that it has become an advertisement vehicle where basic civil rights can be seen abused by an authority that pretended to embraced it less than a decade ago.

when i delete a post or comment, it’s usually because i realized that i responded to the wrong comment or that i posted in the wrong community; will it still show in such circumstances?

cockney; such wonderfully bizarre sounds.

same here and my doctor confirmed it not too long ago; it’s a little bit freeing knowing that i don’t have to put any effort into planning from my elderly years.

conservative german politicians in particular continue to pursue their shady dealings.

and will push their gov’ts back into the microsoft/google fold when they approve purchase of the next big system; and you can only hope that palantir isn’t it.

came here to say this and it irks me that doing nothing has the same effect as doing something exceptionally well.

and all of them are caused by capitalism

honestly it’s a smart move; you’ll be saving yourself the time since you can’t squeeze blood from this stone. lol

This list sucks. None of my scripts or little programs are listed!! /s

i sometimes wish github was a thing when i tried to share my project, but then again mine garnered single digit downloads so it probably wouldn’t be listed here either. lol

i sometimes worry when i’ll pass the threshold of cognitive decline such that these scammers will be able to get anything from me; but then i remember that i have no assets/savings for them to take from me and that i’ll very likely follow in my parent’s & grandparent’s foot steps and be dead before i reach 70 years old y se me pasa.

how do you modify a pdf using firefox?

i tried to get myself banned, but i suspect that i was on there for so long and it would take years for each subreddit to ban me.

also; this implies that the other sites your using are sharing your data with google; which reddit uses heavily.

i couldn’t for some reason.

these 2 are my list as well as “everything everywhere all at once”

i cry every time i see that movie because it hits so close to home for me.

it always felt like there was this anti-capitalist undertones with this show with Conglom-O Corporation and Heffer’s wolf family; i’m glad to know now that there was more to it.

i wash asking you. lol

i created a LCARS theme for enlightenment 16 circa 2004 and posted it online; it got 3 downloads. lol

i was going to get a fairphone, but i think i’m going to get a nothing/cmf phone and start here as well.

later, i’m going to put e/os on it since they have this really nice wiki on how to do so.

how would lineageos be better?

those are just tips of the iceberg; american indoctrination has a bigger impact.
