@rastinza I get what you mean. But for them a discussion doesn't mean explaining the concepts to you. It's kind of subjective, I agree.

Best is to just accept that you'll get blocked easily if you're very inquisitive. Not everybody appreciate a person actually trying to understand everything by constantly asking for clarifications.

@rastinza You couldn't have avoided it without having to research this topic beforehand yourself. Some people simply don't want to explain and just want to rant and have like-minded people just saying 'yeah, you're right' instead of a real discussion.

The moment they said 'I'm here to have a discussion...' is basically the point of no return and communication should've ceased if you didn't want to get blocked.

@rastinza Thanks! I figured I needed to do something to not get more depressed. Getting out and doing something usually is a very good anti-depressant.

I'll heat up some instant dinner soon, don't have to cook. :)

Felt a bit down today so I decided to work in the garden for a while. Now there's a corner in my backyard that's very clean, I guess that makes me feel a little better. :P

I've removed a shitton of tough grassy weeds which was almost everywhere, and then moved a lot of rubbish to the shed. It's nice to see this spot very empty for a change.

@gabriel Lol, I like the video with the pasta with red sauce, especially when testing if the pasta's ready yet. :D

Oh, huh, okay, that went pretty smooth. #Logic ftw.

@kat Heh, funnily enough you actually motivated me to solve it in 3 tries. Took a lot of thinking but I managed it. Thanks. :) It's a bit tricky, that's for sure.

@Bosbesje@mastodon.nl @FollowBot @mastodon Absoluut graag gedaan! 😜

@Bosbesje@mastodon.nl @FollowBot @mastodon Oh het staat je helemaal vrij de bot te blocken, no problem. Ik leg gewoon even uit waar followbots voor dienen en misschien wil je instance het wel openhouden zodat de andere instance gewoon je instance in de federated timeline ziet. Zo heel anders is het niet van gewone users die je volgen.

@Bosbesje@mastodon.nl @FollowBot @mastodon En nu volgt het mij. ;) Dat betekent dat qoto.org nu ook in hun federated timeline komt.

Dit is namelijk handig als je niet echt veel mensen volgt met gewone accounts maar niet zo'n lege federated timeline wilt hebben en gewoon een beetje mee wilt kunnen komen met de fediverse.

@Bosbesje@mastodon.nl @FollowBot @mastodon

Een followbot is gewoonlijk van een nieuwe instance die andere instances probeert te volgen. Een manier is om een followbot te gebruiken zodat hun timeline door jouw instance gevuld wordt.

Als het goed is kan je #nobot in je profieltekst doen om niet door bots gevolgd te worden.

@Placholdr You and me both...

@phoenix Oh yeah, totally relatable. :D

@mc I hope that's washable, lol.

@Pat And that's without mentioning them repeating certain segments over and over again...

@zpartacoos That's it exactly... get out of bed, have a little walk around the neighbourhood, and then you can get back in bed. Repeat every damn day.

@Pat Quite often I have that feeling as well. ;)

@melpsn Wow, fairly realistic.

Finally finished reading this book, The Thursday Murder Club written by Richard Osman. Yup, the guy who's presenting in Pointless and Richard Osman's House of Games, both currently on BBC. I was interested in this book because he's proven himself with a fairly dry (British) humor in those game shows that I liked and hoped to see the same in his book as well.

It was an fun read. A retirement community has a small group of geriatrics who try to solve murders. On Thursdays, mind you, because that's when the Jigsaw Room is available for their meetings. Conveniently they've also found a name for their club.

At first just cold cases, but then a real murder pops up. Oooh, exciting! So they try to solve that one. They get in touch with 2 cops who were assigned to the murder case, quite interesting how they got in touch too. And then another murder happens. Ooh, even more exciting!

Suspects start popping up left and right, but are they really the murderers? They learn a lot more about those suspects than they thought, but did they even get closer to solving the case?

Anyway, it's a nice read. Every character is clearly defined. You'd expect Joyce to be overly excited at the prospect of getting jailed, you know.. she'd get *experience* in what it's like to be a prisoner! Oh and would you like a slice of cake please? Elizabeth is quite the pushy person, it's gonna be done whether others want it or not! And you can count on her on solving a few side cases! Ron's good at impromptu commentary and Ibrahim happily joins in with some facts.

I see there's a second book out in this series. I might seriously consider to give that one a read as well so I can continue reading about the antics of those octogenarians. Or were they septuagenarians? Either way, pretty damn old!

@peterdrake This is a huge problem on the internet. :(
