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.

What do you think of boymoders?

Trans people are so poorly treated that I absolutely understand it. It will make me mad that they have to do that, but not mad at them.

Would you be interested to fund my startup ? It’s about microwavable toilet paper as a service, using a crypto-federated platform. We expect Meta or Apple to buy it for $100m in tree years.

Mixing crypto and toilet paper makes sense considering the amount of shit involved in crypto, making it as-a-service makes sense if you install this, and federating it makes sense too considering all the shitposting. But why the microwavability?

What to do when really sleepy but have to work?

Drink some coffee but don't go over your caffeine tolerance since it will just make you feel worse. Drink water because being dehydrated sure won't help. Work while standing up, or take quick breaks where you stand up and walk around just to be active and stay awake. Get some fresh air if you can, maybe after lunch right as you might get sleepy due to digestion.

Have you ever insulted someone but in such a funny way that they couldn't be angry at you?

Probably yeah, but I don't remember it either because I try really hard not to (I would feel shame for insulting someone even if it's funny) or because it didn't sound insulting to me at all and the other person laughed without giving any hint of it.

How do you handle spicy food?

I use the smol packets of hot sauce I get from pizza places on my pizza, and that's probably the strongest I can handle. I don't usually need all the chili powder in an instant noodles pack and won't ever try those that dub themselves actually spicy lol

Is yearnposting for aces like masking for autists?

Nice, I laughed out loud when reading that question.

I guess it depends on where they are exactly on the asexual spectrum, or even on the aromantic or aplatonic spectrums, because there are many ways to experience sexuality differently than allosexuals.

For example, some autistic people may be masking solely to try to fit in with neurotypicals, while others are trying to fight themselves, to force themselves to become neurotypical, so yearnposting could either be to force yourself to be sexually active or just to appear more normal. I have heard of both of those situations with aces.

Or it could be a manifestation of sexual desire, as in being horny, even though someone is not feeling sexual attraction, as in wanting to do something sexual with someone in particular. And you can replace "sexual" with "romantic", "sensual" or "platonic", because you could either have or pretend to have romantic, sensual or platonic desire. And there are many other variants and microlabels, so there are many other possibilities.

I myself just yearn for girls on fedi because I am starved for affection and because fedi tends to appreciate those posts lol

What hair colour is best?

There is no one size fits all, the best hair color depends on the person.

How do I know myself?

I struggle to do so myself so I don't know if that really helps, but maybe meditate, journal, go to therapy, expand your vocabulary on feelings, sensations, emotions. Recognize that the Western civilization is built around making everything sound rational then nothing in our lives actually is. Give yourself the tools to do more introspection so you can recognize your feelings, your needs, your dreams, your fears, your troubles. Don't forget to learn your body, because the mind and the body are not separate at all.

What do you think about brutalism?

Understandably underrated. There are some good examples of brutalism out there, some beautiful, attractive buildings, but most people associate brutalism with the worse examples, when this style was stripped of its ideas just to become a convenient way to save money on construction. You mean we can call the building brutalist and get away with not painting it or decorating it? Let's go!

Unfortunately, this poor view of brutalism means we encourage demolishing every brutalist building, including the ones that are actually good. The history of brutalism, its context, its leaders and critics is quite important to understand the origins of today's social issues, and to learn what to do and what not to do in urbanism and architecture. Demolishing the actual buildings will make this history less accessible.

If you could work in any sector which would you choose?

Probably trains. I have looked into internship or job offers for web devs related to public transit, but those don't really exist here as the French public sector doesn't hire many devs and instead relies mostly on large IT service providers, through some contracts that allow those companies to keep their monopoly and charge extreme prices while treating their employees like crap.
