Doomed love between late Summer and Autumn (the rot must consume)

Boycotting as they dump your private info into the AI is exactly what they want, we need to boycott BEFORE the 13th in order to prevent the data breach, they want to look like they listened after it is too late to keep you safe

Just to clarify that the boycott is about not letting YT have your ID and photo scan. They already have all the information to feed to the AI, and I'm pretty sure even deleting my account and asking for my data to be deleted wouldn't do anything, because that takes like 30 days to take effect. The whole thing is a ploy to get users to fork over their personal identification and have that tied to their watch habits - INCREDIBLY VALUABLE INFO if you are, let's say, a company that can sell that information to whatever government wants to increase the control of their population. We've already seen the power of YouTube and TikTok to shape narratives and change people's opinions in social and political matters, enough to shift elections and organize protests. If the government knows you watch Breadtube on a weekly basis, they can use that to frame you when someone who maybe looks like you sets fire to a car during a protest. If they know you lile First-Person Shooter games, they can serve you only games where you play as the military, they can boost channels that are patriotic, they can even create channels with cute ladies talking about how they love military men, so you start associating military service with fun and love and profit and are more willing to sign up. It's information that allows for unprecedented levels of manipulation of the public.

That being said: FreeTube (https://freetubeapp.io/) and Invidious (https://invidious.io/) are both resources that let you watch YT videos without giving it views. They have been around for a while and are a measure for online privacy since way before all this crap went down. And YT-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) allows you to download audio and video, in case you want to create a backlog for the duration of the boycott.

“Do it scared” “do it badly” it’s time to drop the guide for do it alone

[dusty-boxington]

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.
