Can i ask where in the world you're from? I'm personally from Denmark where tattoos are pretty common -- i have some myself. But as i've come to learn, the perception of tattoos differ widely around the world.

Ah okay, thanks for the answer.

Yes -- you should definetely segment away politics from some parts of your life. You should not fully disengage with it, but take a breather every now and then. Go for a walk, talk with some people about a hobby you enjoy despite your differences or just take a prolonged toilet break.

I find it infinitely exhausting that it seems like everything online these days evolves into a political discussion. I recently saw someone asking about how they can make more time for reading in their day -- someone mentioned that they read in the morning when working from home while having their morning coffee. And someone barged in and were like "Oh MuSt Be NiCE to HAve ThE TiMe FOR ThaT! No, soMe of Us Have To CommUTE 2 HouRS each way DaiLY BeCAuSe Of LAte StAGe CaPItalisM". And then it evolved into some revolutionary eat the rich stuff from there -- which i for the most part can follow.

But it was a post about asking how to make more time for reading... How did it end up with revolution? I personally believe the main problem with injecting politics into everything is that it becomes predictable and bland. Just like my example above. It's an interesting discussion for sure! But perhaps don't force it down everyone's throat all the time. It's like that friend who has a hobby that they just wont stop talking about all. the. fucking. time. It dissolves the seriousness of the discussion and makes other people tired of it.

Again, i'm not saying abstain or fully disengage from politics. But for gods sake, let people take a break every now and then if they're able to do so, and for five minutes just focus on something joyful eventho everything is going to shit at the moment.

As a dane, it all looks relatively average to me. Perhaps slightly upper class~ish -- but definetely not yuppie or shaming. I think you might benefit from the tips in the article if that were your gut reaction :)

Crossing my fingers it's based on the iron oxide 🤞

I like to think of it as a labor of love 🥰

I don't mind a lot of the arguments against; but this might be enough to make me switch to something else: https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/matrix-vs-xmpp/#-matrix-is-linked-to-israeli-intelligence-

What's the reasons against Element :)? Currently testing it with some friends of mine, before trying to lure my family on it instead of iMessage. So would be interested in why you don't think it's feasible.
