I haven't seen the sun since November.

That's all I get for a few more days.

A lot of Europe is actually further north than Toronto. I don't think a lot of Americans realise that because they're used to looking at the traditional world map which is quite distorted.

Kristiansund? Det er bra farlig å kjøre her oppe for tiden. Turistene trenger ikke å ta mørkekjøring eller glattkjøring for å leie bil med piggfrie dekk.

Osv, osv.

For those who don't speak Norwegian: if you are planning to go to northern Norway and haven't driven on snow and ice before, please please please 🙏 don't rent a fucking car. It's making the roads (and apparently ski trails) really unsafe. Find somewhere in the centre to stay and pay for someone local to drive for you. Also, please don't shit in people's gardens, or hike without spikes and proper winter clothes. The rescue helicopter is not a taxi.

At least I have a rather nice monitor that can simulate the sky.

*also the sun is a giant laser

**also also the ozone layer is still sorta fucked

***also also also I have an air purifier in my room so the air inside is healthier than the air outside because of all the goddamn vehicles that fill the air with poison gas.

Just because prisoners suffer from certain punishments doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy a very roughly similar but still wildly different situation. I love spending my days inside cozy in my chair, but thats different than being locked up in a prison cell, I love sleeping naked, but underneath a big blanket in my own bed is different than a cell floor, I love eating two meals instead of three, but it’s my dietary choice and not malicious food withdrawal.

In short: Consent matters

I think you are completely right, but that doesn't invalidate the point behind the OP even if the specific comparison doesn't fit great.

Having a cozy dark indoor day won't kill you, but it does seem to be good for us to get ample exposure to the natural world.

What's with this sudden tendency to pad screenshots of tweets out for about 400 miles of unnecessary white space.

dejected_warp_core 5 points 7 months ago

I blame the poor UI design and attention-grabbing tendencies of phone-compatible social media. Namely: Facebook and Instagram. It all goes on one endless vertical ribbon to compete for user eyeballs, and the winner consumes the maximum amount of screen real-estate possible when their turn is up. The software could provide decent margins for text-only posts to compete with images and video, or even clickable links and/or attribution for source material, but doesn't. Because screw the open web, this is our walled garden. Anyway, that's probably the reason for the massive margins: because it works better in content-hostile enviroment.

I look at the sky every night. I think, "C'mon, UFOs! Do something!" And after a few seconds, my neck hurts, so I go back inside.

Maybe if theyre open?

I read you get Vitamin D from the sun light hitting your retinas and hair in addition to your skin.

But there is also benefits from look far away at the horizon youd need to find a way to replicate that from a window.

Give it is pitch black outside, extremely cold, and there nothing to do I think I'd prefer to stay inside where it's warm, and I have cats.

I also don't have to stay in a 6 ft square concrete room with the constantly humming fluorescent light. I think that's what makes the difference.

Well, I had been kind of a hoarder before that, admittedly, so I was less impacted at the beginning of the pandemic. But yes, everything fresh was delivered by my local grocery store, Walmart, or other services.

When I don't have to go outside to go to work, I'm perfectly happy just staying inside all the time. Although I do at least see light coming in from the window - I think being windowless the entire time would be too much even for me.
