How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Anonitolia]

I'm somewhat on the edge after over a quarter-year of nothing but shit thrown my way and the next week is set up to be absolute hell

the following two after that will be very tiring as well

i've also read the entirety of the CUTE ANIMALS, ASSEMBLE! thread three times over this year, so you could argue that my sanity has actually been gone for a while already

all fucked up and i make it look good

Due to the wonders of health insurance Mom has been sent home from skilled nursing. If she had a couple weeks of intensive rehab it would likely be fine but she for a while will need more help at home. Luckily my idiot brother can handle that even if he can't clean his room and barely mows the grass.

So I got down here and get to do my job remotely and mow, and mow, and mow, and take a load of trash to the dump and mow some more, oh, and Easter, and some more mowing.

Here, have a picture of a little hill I passed on the way down.

Always fucking tired. I need to go sleep but can't because everything is shaping up to be in the way and it could go from bad to worse if I let myself. It's already bad but man...

I found out there is a coal burner down the road. It really ruins the neighborhood since she brought a typical black guy around to do typical black guys existing. I'm thinking of writing a complaint to the city. I guess a pro is that there is no synagogue around here (christ is king). I've also unfortunately seen a few hispanics. 1 asian, which i guess i can live with. But out of all minorities, i see black people the most which is really disheartening. I guess i should count my blessings though that i don't live with many. Every time that black guy walks down the street with what are probably knock off Nikes, I make sure to test if i locked my door. I also hit my SUVs keyfob to make sure i have my car locked. I've set up a few cameras, which is a must. But *sighs* i have a nice house and the place is overall very good.

Arrived back to where I grew up and decided to go on a walk. Feels so strange to be back. Really sad that some of the stores that I saw as a child have closed down since I left, the confectionery was a dreamy place as a child. Shocked how many people recognized me even when it has been so long. Even when I went to one of the stores I shopped at before I left.. Some places still look the same. Really excited and a bit nervous about seeing my friends tomorrow, going to mass (god knows how long it has been), and being with those who I love.

I really want to get back into air rifle shooting but don't have any place to do it. I don't own property, and don't want to get laughed off the line at a real range for real guns. I was pretty good, and while I don't think I could get olympic level or anything, I could hit it's fun and I like it.

 

[Core Theorist]

and don't want to get laughed off the line at a real range for real guns.

Fuck'm. Tell them they can shove the air rifle up their asses and pull the trigger if they really want a good laugh. You're a grown man, aren't you? If you want to shoot your own damn range toy at the range, anybody laughing at it can kiss your ass. Don't let smaller men take the things you enjoy from you.

EDIT: I'm itchy...!

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

It's Saturday morning, I'm still detached from people and I'm still unvital like a dull vegetable. I'm giving up on lifting weights and doing physical exercises.

Dude, don't give up on lifting. You are depressed so routine is killing you, I've been there too. Try another schedule/exercises. I wanted to give up lifting too, but then switched from push-pull-legs three times a week to full body two times a week and it did wonders to my motivation.

Limerence is debilitating. It made me understand how insignificant in people's lives, isolated, lonely and innormal I am. It's is an indignity to be like a malfunctioning part of society, disconnected and replaced with something more fitting.

That's not true. Have asked all those people if you matter to them? You are valuing yourself from the self-assumed value from other people, that doesn't make sense. Try to value yourself instead.

Yesterday my father lost his battle with a particularly aggressive form of cancer, just about 6 months after his diagnosis.
I guess losing a parent is never easy, especially when they go so early from something that nobody could control or prevent, but I’m still trying to be happy for the fact that he isn’t suffering anymore. It’s still the toughest thing I’ve ever experienced though.
2025 has been the worst year of my life so far. I just hope later on something will happen to redeem it in some way.

Doing pretty decent. Spent a fair amount of time following a guide yesterday to get a 2017 PC that still runs just fine to look like Windows XP; I mostly achieved that goal. There are a few things that can't be done (replacing all the gay Windows 11 menus with XP equivalents), but I can live without them. Having the ability to pin icons to the taskbar (crammed on the far left, leaving plenty of room for the traditional wide buttons of XP) makes it feel like I'm using a version of XP modified to have a few modern features here and there. Overall, I think I'm pretty satisfied with it.

I wonder, whether it's possible to do that on Linux

Twister UI, my friend (bottom of the page):

https://twisteros.com/downloads/

Seems to have a reasonably good reputation and supports making Linux look not only like Windows XP, but several other versions of Windows, as well as Mac OS. This was actually what I was going to do this weekend until I realized I need Windows on this machine for a few things. I do need to use Linux more often, so I will likely end up setting up Mint as a dual boot and then set up Twister UI, at least to try it out.

Why don't you use Wine or virtual machines then? Since Valve made it's feature console based on Linux, it also developed Proton, which works fine.

Had a very productive day. Did paperwork this morning and then in the afternoon I connected the backyard hose and power washed my patio. Next I planted two containers of red and white flowers (Dipladenias) and one shrub (Japanese Pieris) . Then I took this photo of a robin who built a nest in front of my home.

So now I learned, that a burger robin and euro robin are entirely different birds.

Came to terms with my father being sick and started to accept it. Really sad to see him this way on Easter. His lungs are very fucked

Pfizer or Moderna?

 

[Rekeita's Kidneys]

I just wish my mom would admit to me that she just fucking hates me. I wish she'd tell me why and just be honest.

It won't fix anything but I want some "closure" I guess.

I'm working towards acceptance, way I view it is I'm thinking of a lot of what I'm living/lived through as "grief".

I feel like if I'm able to accept these things it might make Hell burn a little cooler.

It hurts seeing all the families and couples out during the holidays. It hurts a lot. I am extremely lonely, I have been trying to meet people to no avail.

I need to get back to my squats.

wonderful just simply wonderful.
