  • That I’m a good person. Really didn’t believe that for a lot of my life but therapy helped - not just in how I see myself but in how I BE myself too. I’m still really a degenerate at heart but one with self control and the ability to communicate what I’m feeling. What I want, and to clarify how other people feel.

    I’m confident in my ability to communicate, to handle awkward social situations, in my hobbies.

    I am confident about my ability to get back into shape. I’ve let myself go over the part couple years. It happens. But I’m back on track.









  • Something you touched on here that I think is a HUGE issue that fucking no one is doing anything about:

    The internet is a necessity. Digital devices are necessities. People commit crimes on digital devices.

    There is no one available, even in first world countries with great internet speeds, that you can go to with a problem more sophisticated than “someone took money from my bank account”.

    There is no one you can talk to that understands the problem, let alone who can take action to remedy it.

    Critical infrastructure is seriously vulnerable and there are multiple layers of the dunning Kruger effect and straight up fucking stupidity you would need to somehow wade through if you were facing any kind of skilled attacker, and you’d need to first identify what the fucking problem is in the first place, at which point what the fuck will they even do?

    This isn’t 1996. The lackadaisical attitude towards cybersecurity held by virtually the entire world is a ticking fucking time bomb and it’s only a matter of time until it blows up and fucks over a lot of people in a big way.

    If we can’t even keep critical infrastructure safe then what hope does a single person ? It’s fucking insane. Grandma may notice her phone is acting weirdly while her old ass router are being used as a spearhead for a sophisticated attack on the power grid or some shit, and there is zero chance, ZERO, anything could ever be done about it from her end.

    She could take her phone to the cell carrier who would just sell her a new one. She could take it to the police who would say she’s probably senile. She could contact the manufacturer who wouldn’t do a fucking thing. She could know enough to know that something fucky was going on but there is NOTHING she could do to stop it.
