why must i allow myself to be so addicted to this place
its a social diet consisting of junk food time after time... with very little reward, and yet i act as though im captured here without an alternative
...i just dont know where that alternative would be
like a good meal from somewhere? interacting with friends i guess
"of course, but what friends" would probably be the natural response to that, for context i dont really socialize anywhere else and wouldnt know where to find a place i could trust for friendships with people i would trust
so, as a result of my comfort-seeking risk-averse personality, i stay where i am until those places are clear and accessible and perceived to be safe
...granted, im not sure what i was expecting by sharing this, it's only fair that trite complaints get very normal advice
coming back here has reminded me of how absurdly prone to mundane compulsiveness i am (especially when other things take more effort than i want to give in the moment). my brain gets wrecked for it too :7
at least being aware of it now lets me catch myself by the wrist when i start doing it again. i know the core of the issue (brain latches onto anything that gives quick and easy mental stimulation even if it sucks + some form of distraction) and need to find better alternatives

anyways... what i actually came here to post

(image opens link to post on bluesky)
https://temporary-file-garden.link/fixer.user.jsfile garden's domain for hosting files has temporarily been blocked, so for anyone who uses it/will inevitably see files hosted on there can use the above to view files from a temporary domain
granted, it may not work for images/stuff used on here but this is on the off-chance it's useful for anyone for elsewhere...
edit: if you have any filegarden links, for now you can replace the "file.garden" with "temporary-file-garden.link" (i.e. manually doing what the tampermonkey script does for your own stuff) (note the domain will expire a week after file.garden is back up but links otherwise shouldn't be affected)
if i feel like it i might post a thread in gd or smthng
