How not to live your life
Are you Mad?

Two queries for you, fedi friends :blobfoxconfused:

1) Do any of those "erase your data from the " tools the YouTube creators are always advertising actually help I feel like the spam texts are getting oddly specific, and also I have talked my fair share of shit about the Cheeto-in-Charge online which is seeming more dangerous by the day

2) Also, I unfortunately used my real last name when I jumped on Mastodon. Is there any way to change screen name I know I looked awhile back and the answer seemed to be no but thought I'd ask again

Thanks friends!

I've been trying to work on longer posts but I am at a bit of a loss as to start.

Discovered the when I got perma banned from Reddit.

I have but unsure of it.

Advice to my beloved and valued followers, and to those I follow:

Reading posts about politics and such isn't good for my health in any way.

If your thing is posting about politics, please content-warn with "uspol", and don't use "clever" synonyms for the perpetrators involved. Otherwise I might have to put you on my polytics list to keep it out of my timeline.

If all you post about is politics, that's why the Great Mastodon invented Mute and Unfollow buttons.

Peace out, children!

Joshua Kolb: "Some of the most impactful acts we take to strengthen democracy may appear modest showing up at civic events, getting engaged in local politics, representing the values you believe your community should stand for. These are some of the small, un-showy steps that can help restore trust in and buttress our institutions, in our ideals and ultimately, ourselves."

Does anyone have about cast iron they can share I've acquired these pans that have been in storage for a while. They have no branding on them. I've read there can be different quality of cast iron and the poorer quality ones can be a bother (flaking etc).

2. How should I clean them (remove rust)

"Warning to all young men out there: beware of the gaslighting masters!

You know, those people who'll make you question your own sanity, memory, and reality. It's like, "Dude, I'm pretty sure I didn't leave the stove on... or did I"

But seriously, gaslighting is a real issue that can have serious consequences. So, here's some advice:

Don't let anyone make you doubt your own perceptions or sanity. You know what's real, and you know what's not.

Don't engage with people who consistently make you feel bad about yourself or question your reality. They're probably just projecting their own issues onto you.

And most importantly, don't let anyone convince you that you're the problem. You're not the problem, unless you're actually leaving the stove on. Then, yeah, you're the problem.

So, young men, beware of the gaslighting masters, and remember: you're not crazy, you're just being manipulated. Keep your sanity intact, and don't let anyone make you doubt your own reality."
