I just hope that the next new study doesn’t end up being “New Study: At Least 15% of All Lemmy Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion”, otherwise I would be wondering WTF is going on, is Lemmy on the way of being enshittified by Corporate Morons?

And then someone tries that again with “Just realized that “downside up” means “the down side is up”, making it downside up” to see if it makes anymore sense.

Even though I’m caring for and feeling very protective of them, and want to protect the woodlands they like to be in.

Hi, I just wanted to add here that I have gone ahead and took a picture of Kane and Lindsey since its a nice day today, and this is what they are look like if you are curious.

As you can see, Kane is the fox boy and Lindsey is the elf girl in that picture. These are just a couple of my spirit friends which I had custom plush made of them and I love them a lot. I’m also attached to them as well as the forest near here that I took the picture in, though Lindsey looks like she may need to have a surface cleaning soon.

This is so funny (and sad). I avoid discussing spirits with people who put a very strict framework (especially all taken from another culture) onto their inside world and try to convince others it’s the best or only way. There are millions of worlds of reference out there, and I couldn’t give a flying fuck whether the spirits take the forms of historical pantheons or TV series characters - because there is literally (sic) no difference. They are all stories, and whatever works for you works for you.

Well, I have not been responding anymore to that thread in the Pagan community. To me, fairies are real as I had seen them and that works for.

I have finally visited my favourite rock yesterday, to say thanks for all the good things it has brought to my life. I am due to walk a lot of kilometers between rocks and trees to keep the good spirits flowing. Things work for me, because I permitted myself to listen to the landscape around my house during a time in my life when I felt really weak and tired, without letting myself fall into the paranoia of ‘schizophrenia’ or ‘psychosis’. I got really good advice, where other people’s advice would have been too confusing.

That just has me thinking about talking a picture of the plush Kane and Lindsey and showing them to you here as I tell more about them, since they were made after spirits I have seen in a number of my dreams.

Posting here because of the privacy implications of all this, but I wonder if at some point there should be an “Enshittification” community :-)

There is, its called !enshittification@lemmy.world

Hi, I wasn’t exactly talking about developing and embracing AI as I feel that I’m against it for a number of concerns, when it comes to stealing everything that is public to train their models. I have that should be made illegal and its a reason why I’m reluctant with what I bring online. I have heard about ‘glazing’, but I’m not sure how effective that would be if I were to use it in protecting my stuff, which is why I’m still feeling rather uncomfortable bringing too much of my ideas and stuff online anywhere. And I also agree there really needs to be better protection here.

Oh, and I do like the observe nature at times, even if it means taking a walk out into the woods when the weather is nice enough to do so. And there were times I had the sensation that something is trying to speak to me from the forest as I had tried to describe in my post. For some reason, you got me thinking you were dreaming you were playing with your cat and he/she had led you onto a train (The Woodland Express?) that took you to a clearing in the forest. I got the feeling maybe you are going to meet people in dark green robs there and you were getting minor anxiety in not being sure if you want to follow them deep into the mysterious part of the forest.

Yeah, I felt that I could open up more and share more of my experiences here to see what people think since I’m not sure where would be a more welcoming place. I have tried talking about this in a Pagan community as they sometimes deal or work with fairies, but it led to getting a few confused responses and someone reporting me to Help Resources thinking I was going suicidal, and I wasn’t.

Anyway, the feeling I have with your comment is much, much better and more comforting to me. It could be that I’m also Animist as well as Autistic even though I also tend to look at things differently where I feel many people don’t seem to understand correctly. It’s like I may be looking for anything that may have been overlooked or something.

It’s good that a lot of people are coming to this knowledge again and developing a better relationship with the woods and landscape, as I feel more comfortable being in woodlands and overground abandoned places then in the middle of any every changing city.

And if should be noted there is nothing wrong with my mental health either even though someone had commented here saying I was describing something else other than Autism and that I should see a shrink saying it is something that often worsens over time. I didn’t like that as it made me uncomfortable with somewhat more anxiety and scared.

Right now, I’m trying to work on this story of mine that focuses on a small group of kids, some of them Animist in a way, who had a tree house and fort in the forest. There is a park nearby down the street and they are also having concerns with these strange large ear shaped metal dishes being installed on telephone poles. The boy who the story focuses on had a dream that morning about mysterious anthropomorphic bears and he and his sister head to the park to go into the forest there to see if there is anything odd and related there. Just as they are about to go in there, a siren sounds causing the ear dishes to turn red with an antenna sticking out of them. This leads to the boy passing out and having a vision of trees with all their branches cut off that makes him sad. He also encounters a group of anthropomorphic bears being threatened by something in it and then finding himself in a large park. At the same time, hearing a girl singing part of the opening song of the Tenth Kingdom. He then wakes up back in the actual park with his sister looking over him worried, and he tells her what happened. They soon leave the park and head to their friend’s tree house to meet with him there and tell him about what is going on as they also noticed a number of trees appearing to be withering and dying for some reason. They soon look into an old book that came from an antique bookstore that is about bears and begin working on figuring all of this out, even though they will likely soon find their way into a medieval fantasy world.

Anyway, if you are interested, I can take a picture of the plush Kane the Fox and the plush Lindsey the Elfin Girl within the wooded area here and upload it here as soon as the weather is better and dry again to do it. I also feel the destruction of the woodlands and watersheds is something we all should be deeply concerned about, and that is where my thoughts of the Last Mimzy and thinking of the Last Lindsey being about Lindsey teaching about how precious the woodlands are and saving them, In a way, its like getting support from our good spirits which is very much needed since it feels like the soul of our planet, Gaia, has become sick and people are becoming isolated and warlike. Our world is frightened and is dying.

This doesn’t feel right to me and made me feel uncomfortable and somewhat anxious and scared. Like I feel what I was talking about here may be getting misunderstood.

I think it is more like robotic overloads since tech can overload you will too much information at once, but what about new autistic overlords instead?

Yeah, I feel weirdly drawn to forests and I like being near one.

Alright, maybe I can write up everything I have on my mine and keep it related to autism as to not be in violation of rule #2.

I’m not worried about autism, I was referring to other things that may me feel worried, maybe even becoming overwhelmed, going on in the world.

Now let’s look at Office. Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel. Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort. No, I’m not setting up a DB in an open-source competitor to Access. That’s just too much effort for simple sorting and filtering tasks, and isn’t realistically shareable with other people.

Oh you can take a look at LibreOffice instead which is open source and open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in LibreOffice Calc and see how it is there.

There are a few alternatives to Windows out there at this time, if you were to look into React OS and Great Tea OS to see what those are about.

Well, AI is one thing I want to get rid of.

Actually, I just cut and pasted that kbin.run link into another browser on another computer on the same network and its working there, so that rules it down to a LibreWolf issue going on.

Well, one thing that has me kind of worried about my community here if lemmy.world were to switch from Lemmy to Sublinks and end up becoming sublinks.world instead.

Well, I’m not sure how to check and see about fixing that, if its on my end and not kbin.run’s end.

I just tried to follow that link and it appears someone needs to notify the website owners about this error message I’m getting from it and I’m using LibreWolf for my browser for privacy reasons.
