That would be the life

 

This one just shot out of me. Idk how it happened so fast. I've gotta slow down at some point. I was really excited to show y'all my first attempt at darkfield.

Here's some pics to show how I did it.

That's awesome. I have a lot of conservative family and none of them are hateful to people in front of them. They are generally very caring and kind.

From my perspective they are told to fear groups to the point of hating them. Its not rooted in any of their experiences, not originally. So, just like you, given concrete evidence they change.

I really like this. Humans are generally kind.

I'm a bit of an anarchist so I disagree on principal lol, but I do agree that that would help Linux usurp windows.

My fear is that it would just then become windows within a decade or less. Getting big and institutional may work out. I've just seen a lot of cases go sour.

To me the beauty of Linux is that it is less connected to large impersonal capitalistic structures. That's why it feels different from Windows.

I agree Ubuntu is the easy choice. You can totally find a desktop you don't have to baby sit, but Ubuntu has the marketing to help you find them and feel safe.

I've had no issues with fedora, I've been running it for about a year.

Disclaimer: people are complicated. I sorta have to project to answer and I dont know exactly what causes your jealousy.

I used to get a lot more jealous. I used to think that I was the right partner for someone and that they were making a mistake by being with someone else. I kinda justified it with this half baked empathy that wanted the girl to be happy, but didn't accept her as an intelligent person that can navigate and choose a partner for herself.

My jealousy was rooted in a bit of a superiority complex. I needed to accept that there are a lot of good people out there just trying to find a partner. That I'm not better than them.

I think it is fine to have feelings for a girl, its also fine to be disappointed when they don't reciprocate. No need to try and not feel those feelings. I think it is a big ask to try and control our romantic attraction, but we can manage how we respond to it.

Though again, what if I'm wrong and maybe this stems from an attachment issue yk? I'm over here projecting. Hope this helps anyways.

Thanks! If there's anything ya wanna hear I'm happy to try and make it. I'm wondering when I'll run out of music ideas lol.

Ah yes I am pretty sure they are a ciliate of some kind, but I may be wrong. Identifying is so hard but so fun because then you can read up of the fella. We'll sometimes, sometime there is no info. I follow one of those medium guys in this video while much more zoomed in: https://youtu.be/2z2_Qvzrc98

Also I write all the music. I've been pumping out music at an insane pace for these and its been a really fun project. I feel myself learning lol.

I set it all as creative commons so that anyone could use any of the videos or music if they'd like.

Also, yeah I can totally put my microscope specs in the description and maybe a zoom multiplier in the corner of the video.

Thanks!! That makes a lot of sense. I'll totally add a description of where the sample is from. One of the most fun parts for me has been seeing how the world around me just has a lot more going on and it's all been right here. Makes ya think... Algie floating on a reservoir can have a whole ecosystem steming from it, and then get hit by a jetski.

I see. Well I wish you luck. You working agaist some pretty large forces lol. It'd be dope to see some pieces that actually have something substantial to say.

I agree that the world is full of junk food knowledge. Me being left, these articles don't even look like knowledge cause they just say stuff I don't agree with and don't have any supporting arguments. The words just bounce off me.

I can understand an article making you happy, then feeling like you want to post it. No judgment on that, but why post such a right article in such a left space? Especially such a surface level one? I guess there is dopamine in arguing.

I can easily (but maybe inaccurately) see this as rage bait just to pass the time. That's based on the idea the the daily mail wouldn't convice a leftist on anything.

 

Thanks for the support last time. Idk how quick I'll make these, so if ya feel I'm clogging your feed tell me. I'll post less.

Edit: also does anyone know if the rotifer is pooping or laying an egg or what at 5:51 in the video?
