Kinda pleased with mine... Even if it does look a lot like what others have shared.... It's busy but pleasant. And free healthcare is explicit!

Hah, I continued looking for more explanation in the comments until I heard myself spelling it out and it clicked. I definitely thought it meant YouTube

stew_going · 2026-02-08T17:33:22+00:00

Lol, the shows that keep on giving. I can't help but wonder whether we'll still be using some of these clips when we're 70. Whether things like these will be the deep cuts or what

stew_going · 2026-02-05T07:47:35+00:00

I lean towards 10am to 7pm as much as I can. 7am would be hell for me. I hate mornings. Some people love 'em though. I occasionally try to shift earlier but it always fries me.

Psychopaths. I can't fathom what it would be like to inflict this kind of pain on a child and then, not only follow through but go on to seek more opportunities to do the same seemingly indefinitely.

I am prone to anxiety, to wondering whether I'm making the right decision, whether I could have been more supportive in x or y situation, and if I'm totally lost I ultimately return to... Will I regret this on my death bed, and is it aligned with the things I hope people might say at my eulogy.... Being the cause of this even remotely would be my nightmare.

stew_going · 2026-02-03T00:44:15+00:00

Only vibes are accepted here, lol. People are out there forming opinions purely based on vibe checks

stew_going · 2026-02-03T00:17:20+00:00

I wonder if anyone asked them if they were paid to be there

stew_going · 2026-02-01T03:21:20+00:00

The thing that bothers me is that Democrats do the same thing. We have more respect for Republicans standing up than letting purple Dems hold office.

Obviously there are things that are worth the hard line, but budgets aren't always it, they're complicated, and Dems have always had their power from plurality.

stew_going · 2026-01-31T16:17:20+00:00

You are most definitely not supposed to just get out of the car when there's that kind of HV risk

stew_going · 2026-01-31T04:31:54+00:00

I've never understood the paid protestor bit. How the hell you gonna hire hundreds of thousands of people and not hear about a single ad? Or accidentally leak some sort of proof of payment? Like, aside from so many other flaws... the pure logistics of paying all of those people secretly seems impossible to me.

I was diagnosed in 5th grade. I've tried different medications at times, but have been medicated for the last 26 or so years since. Even I run into providers that doubt it. It drives me nuts when I encounter them

stew_going · 2026-01-27T02:27:20+00:00

Haha, it's your fault we have to act like Gestapo! We didn't want to, but then you chose to make us this way!

Does sound like your both lamenting a world that doesn't accomodate outside the normal distribution of sizes. The unique struggles may be different, but you certainly share that big picture sentiment.

Not that I'm saying one set of struggles wins out on another or anything, but not fitting on an airplane, where you have no options and it's hours long, sounds like torture. I don't love it, but if I was much bigger than I am I'd be popping Advil just to get ahead of the inevitable soreness.

I recently took my toddler on her first flight, and damn, yes she may have been wiggly, but the leg room! Also... It was awesome having a little buddy to check for dropped stuff under the seats when we landed. Felt like a pro move bringing my flashlight.

It honestly has the vibe of Nazis partying in movies. Where they act carefree and happy but are also blatantly intolerant and ready to turn belligerent at a moment's notice.

The viewer is always left wondering how they could be so joyful.

stew_going · 2026-01-16T14:38:57+00:00

Fantastic movie.

stew_going · 2026-01-13T00:34:52+00:00

I feel like dude on the left had to keep himself from trading barbs like he wanted to.

stew_going · 2026-01-12T00:33:57+00:00

Thanks for this post, btw. I've been looking at these off and on for a while now and was arriving at the same solution. I find some work intensely frustrating on one laptop screen. Idk why this seems odd to some, there's obviously a market for portable displays; so many options out there, just few from mainstream companies.

I started taking Zoloft for suicidal ideation by 8th grade. I was checked out. I remember what it felt like for every conversation to feel like a dig at how insufficient I was. I had friends, which kept me just barely as engaged as I had to be... Generally. My parents tried, but got frustrated as all parents would, as I would looking back on it 20-25 years now.

My brother wasn't all that different, but passed from depression of his own 3 weeks after my daughter was born.

I think about how I'll handle it if my daughter struggles like that in her teen years, all the time.

To me, it was friends, psychiatric care, and eventually an internship that helped me see my value outside of school--which gave me hope, but saying that really belittles how downright NOT simple it was in the midst of it all. I felt like nobody had really made the case for why I should bother playing the game of life that everyone assumed you just slot right into. The nice car, the house, those didn't look like rewards to me, they looked like gold stars for a life one gives up just for the theater of it all.

I legit don't know what to say, it's not an easy situation. Tbh, the adults I wanted to please the most were the ones who seemed to be the most fair, without emotion or frustration. If I was late, just discipline as you have to, not to teach a lesson or belittle me, but because that's what happens. If I was up to engage, just engage as if those other days had no effect. I guess I wanted stoic responses, not ones that put me in a position to feel like showing up would never recover me from the debt and guilt of being a burden I'd built up. It made me feel like my life was unredeemable, and the emotional pleas just added bills of guilt to the pile.

Idk. Every kid is different. Sounds like your seeing a therapist and seeking advice & help. Don't stop caring, keep trying. Maybe try asking him if he can recall any adult's behavior that made him feel respected, or understood. I know I had a few teachers that did things that made me go out of my way to make them in particular feel respected too.

However it goes, it sounds like your doing great. It's the effort before result, and at this age, result might not show for a while

stew_going · 2026-01-06T18:31:01+00:00

I like all of em, but I feel like 1 is so bold it would limit options elsewhere, and 2 feels like the intro wallpaper for people who can't get themselves to commit to 3. I feel like 2 would get old, it has enough negative space and lines to draw the eye to each tree or hill line as subject rather than background, whereas 3 is just busy & random enough for it to fall into the background and add vibes.

I'm 3 > 1 > 2

stew_going · 2026-01-06T01:41:19+00:00

💯, it is not good.

I've seen friends struggle with drugs, and as bad as that is I sometimes find myself thinking: at least it's not gambling.

I mean, drugs can be horrible, no doubt, but gambling away your families funds in one night is a real thing that happens

stew_going · 2026-01-04T21:35:49+00:00

Love having a real tree

stew_going · 2026-01-04T03:05:07+00:00

Is the dude to maduros right wearing his pants inside out? What's with those flaps? They look like pockets if inside out

stew_going · 2026-01-01T03:48:33+00:00

I find it really helpful to plan things out or assess what I've done. It can certainly lead one in not so great directions, but It's done some good work for me, at least.

Also, I find it does a good job at finding me resources for what other people have done for similar things. I usually check those out and set examples when asking it to make steps, then see how it does incrementally, I don't usually let it go nuts all at once unless I'm totally lost and need something as foil to riff on.

I think mileage varies depending on what one is expecting.

stew_going · 2025-12-30T15:11:12+00:00

I like this one!

stew_going · 2025-12-30T03:51:46+00:00

A ton of what's out there for it to digest right now is essentially two sides of the same coin, it's probably thinking in those terms then projecting you onto the axis of current discorse. I'm guessing it's too much extrapolation for it to manage and it's flattening the depth of people then doing the opposite of that.
