Here's the thing - people can't get food deleivered because everything is booked solid. Doesn't even matter if you're riddled with medical condictions or elderly because there is no filter on any of them. (Heck, folks should be worried about their babies and little ones if they have them, too) but fools are still crying that they can't go to COMIC CON! and similiar to dress up in costumes and sell art.

In addtion, people have to make the agonising decision on whether to attend funerals or not because they have medical condictions that make them vulnerable, in Spain, a lot of elderly were left to die in care homes because the staff abandoned them, folks get robbed of their food purchases, etc, etc, etc...

Sometimes, I get frustrated at 'nerds' and 'geeks' because they are supposed to be intelligent but are acting like spoiled children because they can't go to cons.

You have to keep in mind a lot folks upset about that are going to be teenagers, immature folks, mostly! Or folks who don’t have much else to look forward to, so maybe this was their place of comfort? Also, nerds and geeks are different, nerds are more into sciences, geeks could generally just have an uncool/unpopular hobby, not necessarily clever, just offbeat.

birdsandstars 5 years ago

I haven’t encountered those, personally! I only saw some young people who want to die and don’t care about other people and some very old conservative types grumpy about all this over “just a flu”

Some people think the nerd/geek thing is interchangeable so I know the difference. When I was that age, being a nerd or geek meant that you had to hide what you liked because there were a lot of bullies around who would make fun of it. (Didn't matter if it was sci-fi/fantasy or science that you were interested in you had to hide it.)

When I was at uni, I discovered another type of nerd/geek and that was the ones who were into it because it suddenly became fashionable. (Cosplay, gaming consoles, munchkin, and anime, to some extent) and it is those who don't seem to be taking it very well. They need to realise that there are more important things and you come across it just because you have those interests.

Think I might end up just working on the crafting site for a while. Sewing, etc, seems to be the only thing I can concentrate on right now, other than playing lotro.

I was wanting to get the my dogs page done on Bright Eyes tonight, but as most of that would have been writing about dogs which are no longer with me I wasn't in the right mood for it, so I did something for the craft site instead.

It's the spring equinox, but it is really cold this evening. I just hate it when my hands are cold!

I usually post photos of my crafty stuff on my pinterest page. (It's easier than instgram) So here it is... https://www.pinterest.co.uk/deadwintersnight1/ I've not taken photos of my latest projects yet though and havn't had time to do anything on the craft site here yet.

Been getting some sewing done over the past few days because it's too windy to do anything. (Need to be able to put things outside to clean, otherwise things are just in the way.) It hasn't really 'cost' anything because it's mostly scraps and cut offs from other projects I had lying around. I don't think I'll be able to buy any new supplies for a while because of this virus.

The autumn decorating is going to be good this year.

So, the Spring Festival has started in LOTRO. I'm reminded of why I dislike festivals. (Mostly because of there being way too many players everywhere, 'horse' pants and people crowding around things.

birdsandstars 5 years ago

A festival in real life...? Won’t there be too much risk/crowding....

bright-eyes 5 years ago

No. It's a computer game. https://signup.lotro.com/lotro.php?ftui=LOTROWeathertopHCVideo&cl=75&hf=1&abrs=887_1584709980&interstitial=true

Spent the day sorting my books out and dusting ornaments. Quite exuasting, but I think my joints and muscles are loosening up now as they aren't as painful. I'm looking forward to sorting the flat out properly now that it's warming up.

Just logged into my old tumblr account and I'm reminded of why I stopped using the site. Slow as....

That site was so addicting and not not a good time for me. ^^;;; I loved the format, loved what I learned, made some friends, but oooof, it was so hivemind-y and toxic.

I never actually interacted with anyone on there that much, but I remembered submitting a profile or two to a site that was supposed to be an index for middle-earth rpers and never got a response from the admins. Most of the time I didn't get any followers either. It suited me in some ways because I like the flexibilty it has over facebook when it comes to layout design and such.

Also, it would have been better than twitter for rp because you could create multiple tumblrs for your characters, and I did use it as a placeholder for my characters on twitter because I could put more information on those pages. But I have heard bad stories about 'trendy lefties' (folks who pile on and bully people who oppose their stance on politics, etc, while they claim to be socialists or feminists.

But last night, I was mainly annoyed with it because I had trouble logging in and it was slow to load.

Aaaah, yeah, the weird soapboxing and call-outs and no room for mistakes or growth, you can make multiple twitters! But hard. gmail e-mails let you do yourname+whatever@gmail.com and it counts as different e-mails! But when they ask for phone numbers and you have to break up long replies

birdsandstars 5 years ago

it’s a bit of a pain! Plus, twitter is very, very, very... cracky, thirsty, bizarrely depraved (I kept getting explicit l*li and sh*ta and f*ta and oversexualized Pokemon creatures themselves even).

birdsandstars 5 years ago

I think rpers on twitter are more relaxed, usually, and not too big on writing, so you get a lot of folks who don’t put effort into writing or even characterization and just say crass stuff and tweet memes. Bizarre. livejournal/dreamwidth was best for overall quality and structure (and folks stick to canon, not straying as much as tumblr).

Almost finished Lyndheid's profile. Just got to do a little bit about how she comes to Erebor.
