Migration PSA

Once Retrospring.net shuts down, I plan to migrate to Fragsturztaube.

If you're moving there too, feel free to follow me, but don't expect me to answer questions in a timely manner yet. I do not intend to be fully active on here until the OG Retrospring shuts down. My limit for how much social media I can handle is low so I don't intend to be on two instances at once!

I might put up a page somewhere on one of my websites to include some of the long answers I posted on Retrospring.net, so they don't disappear after it dies.

Quel est ton coin de nature favoris ?

Probablement la confluence du Drac et de l'Isère à Grenoble. Le trajet pour y aller est confortable, via une voie verte puis un chemin de terre, c'est pas loin de chez moi, et on peut s'asseoir tout au bout et être seul et entouré d'eau. J'y ai préparé et mangé des sandwichs raclette et bacon chauffés à la bougie une fois et c'était excellent.

Suppose you found an ancient, blessed artefact; what it is and what good fortune will it bring to you?

It is a sextant, painted blåhaj blue, with a few golden parts. It looks perfectly normal, except the markings on the arc will change to mess with my measurements. Anytime I try to use it for navigation, the wrong data will not lead me to my intended destination, but instead take me to some place that has something I need deeply. I might not even know I needed it until I get there.

What do you think about nudism?

Definitely not for me since I am uncomfortable about showing skin and even more uncomfortable around other people who show much skin. If some people are into it then I just let them do their thing, I don't care as long as I'm not forced into it.

Are you good at cooking?

I'm terrible at it. I don't know what I'm doing and don't understand most recipes or don't have the motivation to make them, or just to buy the necessary ingredients. I try to cook more, but I only cook basic things and it isn't always tasty or rewarding.

ok but which burner is your favorite?

Back right. My stove has 2 regular burners in the back, and front right is smol, front left is hueg. I used to use the smol one when doing grilled cheese because my pan was crap and that was my only chance of not burning them, but now a normal burner at low power works well with the new pan and chills the grease faster. I used to use back left and then switched for some reason. I guess I also prefer the back just because no matter what I do, the handles of the pans don't stick out, so I can't ram into them and make things fall off since I never pay attention to anything...

What emojis did you upload to Slack?

Does your job give you a sense of pride?

No, to me it's just work. I feel better about my life in general on days when I don't have to work.

Are there places that you go to so often you are recognized there as a regular?

Just the coworking space. They have a wall dedicated to putting the faces of the regulars with small introductory sheets that they make some of us do irregularly, and my face is on there. I am known for being a profeshunul Slack emoji uploader and for watching rocket launches live on the big TV in one of the meeting rooms.

Outside of work, no there are none.

Why did you write "10 miles", aren't the French using normal units of measurement? Are you a fake French?

I got used to using the cursed units when speaking English, and I know that 16km is approximately 10mi. I probably wouldn't have done this conversion if I didn't know it by heart.

Is riding a scooter fun? Does it count as exercise?

It can be if you can do it in good conditions. You need some good quality asphalt to ride on, and an environment that doesn't require so much concentration to safely ride through that you can't enjoy the ride. I'm quite lucky here with many kilometers of protected bicycle paths in the city and shared pedestrian/bicycle paths following the river and surrounded in greenery.

I think it counts as exercise, of course excluding electric scooters. I certainly do get tired after doing 10 miles in a single trip...

What about jousting with someone who claimed that your lady is not fair at all? Would you prove your truth with your hands upon their body?

If I win, my lady rewards me, if I lose, my lady comforts me, and if I don't joust she will think I do not defend her honor. So I will joust.

How was your week?

I'm on a staycarion, so I did dozens of kilometers by scooter, went to a coffee shop and to the library, read a lot, wrote a lot. A far more enjoyable time than having to squeeze my hobbies in between work days.

How to stop thinking about them?

Do something, anything. Start a new hobby, read books, learn something, volunteer, talk to new people, etc. Give your mind something more interesting to think on than those memories. And don't forget to be compassionate towards yourself, because if you don't, you won't heal and the memories will continue to be painful every time they come back.

Would you be willing to joust with someone who disagreed with you on who is the fairest lady and most of beauty in the world?

No, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so we can agree to disagree and go fight more important battles. I would just make sure that said lady knows what I think of her, because why would I miss an opportunity to compliment a cutie?

Is it really philosophy if it can be understood by a layperson?

I guess you have to start somewhere if you want to understand philosophy, so there has to be some kind of stepping stone. A philosopher's stone if you will.
