cannabis finally helped me grok the Kline bottle, took a lot of visualizing and mental exploration but I got there

edit: I wanted to pass along the insight I had that helped me, basically to not hold the whole Kline bottle in your mind at once, but to instead look at it from a subjective and temporalized perspective, for example imagine being an ant walking along the surface of the Kline bottle (or if you are an American, driving along the surface). Parsing individual moments on the surface is what helped me inch along and traverse the whole thing, and that spatial intuition helped me finally understand the whole much better ... 4-dimensional objects can be really hard to reason about.

they are affiliated with the far right, and the qualities in their propaganda match literl neo-Nazi propaganda videos I have seen: men working in plains-clothes doing manual labor, in this case glorifying the Christian West, expressing a kind of cultural / identitarian supremacy that is common with Islamophobes and racists.

the main benefits from prosthetics are usually due to properties that the prosthetic have that a normal limb wouldn't have (or vice versa) - like specialized prosthetic limbs for rock climbing

still, I would expect most people would be able to use a tool in lieu of a prosthetic ... still, the absence of a limb might be advantageous in some situations (even if obviously a downside in others).

he has been accidentally sending me fascist propaganda without realizing it's fascist, like that Italian sculptor's video that was making the rounds, the guys who made that controversial Joan d'Arc statue with government funds?

what I find shocking is that the website still exists and has so many users; I even know a user IRL who hasn't noticed it has gotten any worse since Elon took over ...

this is brilliant, thank you!

do you know if there is an android client that works with Sharkey, or is it web UI only?

EDIT: I see Sharkey implements the Mastodon API, so does that mean you can use Mastodon android apps with it? 🤔

the fee you pay is different than the total costs, I paid $1,000 for my PIV, but the total costs were still over $100,000. That's not including the thousands I spent on a hotel room for the week after I was discharged but not permitted to go home yet.

Edit: I should say I'm in the US, there are cheaper options elsewhere like Thailand. There is even a very cheap option in Thailand where they don't put you under general anaesthesia to keep costs low.
