Ideally the list of behaviors which trigger suspicion would be expanded over time, yes? Low hanging for first, just because it's easy doesn't mean spammers will program around it unless we check for it.

People need to shift their perspective a bit to understand why conservatives keep fighting an obviously stupid war. It isn't about the specific group they're trying to demonize. It's about having something to fight, period. They lost on gay marriage - if they actually thought it was so terrible, they would still be fighting it. The same is true for Trans exclusionary laws. Anyone can do the math and realize that the societal harm caused if you assume even their wildest claims are true is dwarfed by the political money required to fight for and against these laws. And money, of course, is the root of the problem.

As long as they have an unlimited number of people to punch down at, they can keep riling up their bases. That means they have job security, and they can exploit these positions for "legal" bribes through cushy retirement jobs and conduct their real (economic) war on behalf of the rich.

Yea I'm currently exporting samsung notes as images and storing them in my obsidian vault instead of directly handwriting in obsidian... see my other comment to your comment's OP for the other issue I ran into.

You can export excalidraw files as images or svgs. My main issue has been subpar support for Samsung pens, which is in part due to Samsung requiring an SDK to detect button presses or gestures... which means hitting the toolbar button to erase stuff

It tends freeze and mess up your writing when it autosaves. Not much of an issue if you set it to every 5 minutes, but annoying at the 15 second default.

Lastly, large drawings have performance issues. A few "pages" of notes and you can start to see the renderer struggle to track your pen correctly.

Tbh I'm probably just going to use another app and export images into my obsidian repo.

Good God. On beehaw I had to block every furry community separately. Talk about annoying.

Looks a lot like their math is summing the total twice. If you add all the data points on the graph it's about 541k which is close to the number stated abovd, but that includes the already summed "total" dataset.

I find it helps to intentionally "break it in". Draw something silly, write a bad poem, write a journal entry upside down, freehand a chart/page layout with bad lines, etc. Do something to make it no longer "perfect" to get yourself out of the mindset that the paper pretty notebook deserves a level of care and attention you find exhausting and ultimately disappointing when you can't keep an insane standard of care.

What makes them nice is the experience of writing on them. Not that the writing in them is a certain quality. Do you go back to your spiral bound notebooks? What if that content were in nice notebooks, would that change your behavior? I'll bet it depends on the content, not the paper it's written on.

If you stop writing in them as soon as your writing devolves, let it do that immediately and keep writing. If you want a perfect notebook, the only way to do that is to exhaustively transcribe from another source, and who has the time to do that?

The point of a notebook is to write on it, fancy or plain. If you enjoy the experience of writing on fancy paper, treat that as the goal instead of creating something worthy of the paper. Paper, even expensive paper, is cheaper than the time you spend writing on it. Ergo, give your writing time the paper it deserves, rather than giving the paper the content it "deserves".

TLDR: Immediately "ruining" the paper can free up your mental block on wasting it. You bought nice paper to write on, but paper quality should not dictate the quality of what goes on it. Unused paper is more wasteful than messy writing.

Could you frame a conversation with them as seeking advice about someone other than yourself? "One of my classmates is coming out and I want to support them, what do you recommend?"

Their reaction and advice could paint a pretty good picture without putting yourself in their crosshairs. Worst case, you can refuse to name the person and maybe get grounded for protecting someone imaginary.

But yea, that won't give you a complete answer to how they would react if their own child came out.

You can pay for simpler sync, but I use obsidian with syncthing/git, no subscription required, works fine with the mobile app.

Tbh I think obsidian and notion fill different needs. Obsidian is text-first (markdown), doesn't have the same feature rich blocks that notion does. That's a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how reactive you want stuff to be. The equivalent to databases is junkies and through a plug in.

Relay until the blackout, browser only now since I've uninstalled everything reddit after.

Distributed spaghetti code.

This is why boycotts aren't a replacement for legislation. Blaming consumers for making the best of a shitty system is simply shifting blame onto the victims, when the bad systems which force it are what's to blame.

Labor didn't get rid of company scrip by boycotting the stores, they fought against unfair labor and compensation and got it outlawed.

The fact that our system is set up so that the only way people who work full-time can afford to live is spending their money at the same collection of exploitative companies which employ them is only one step removed from it - instead of trapping people physically, they've rigged the system to trap them economically.
