all right, I am serious about this happiness thing so I am going to go on the record and commit. scope of my account will henceforth be:
mostly: >90%
friendships
supporting others
marveling at the natural world
creativity
gratitude
learning
exercise
shitposts
wordplay
ideas
art
sometimes: <10%
suggesting society improvements
criticising
politics
blocks
never: 0%
abuse
poison
misinformation
ok that's enough negativity for one lifetime, time for the happy half of my life
bank website like "passcode incorrect, note your third incorrect attempt will lock your account, unsealing the Crest of the Turbulent One and condemning you to a pilgrimage to the Altar of Balthazaar where you must sacrifice a non-firstborn child in His Name upon that ancient slab, lest your soul be forsaken to an eternal and futile wait upon our helpline to speak to a customer service agent. All hail Balthazaar! All hail the Turbulent One! two attempts remain, repent to the Twisted Lord."

it is not my ideology.
but I absolutely love a perfect weapon.
coasters are a scam like what's the matter, your table not table enough for my drink?
