I paused, out of breath. The Void had taken all my frustrated screaming and absorbed it.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. "You must have heard all this before, countless times."

'only you,' said the Void, 'scream your frustration like you do'

I took a deep breath to resume, then smiled.

"Thanks."

My brain is doing that thing again (/still) where it is refusing to allow me to reach out to people because I would be "bothering them" or "intruding" or "unwelcome" or "not fitting in" or whatever.

I know it is lying to me and I hate that it does this. I wish it would stop.

The theory in the paper is that it's not the superhero per se, but that unexpected events in general increase mindfulness and thus pro-social behavior

So act weird and make people behave better.
Science will often take you to unexpected and delightful places. In this study, researchers hypothesized that riders in a crowded subway car would be more likely to offer their seat to a pregnant person if there were someone in the subway car dressed as Batman 🧪🦇

I think a disconnect between me and other subs is other subs enjoy being insulted, degraded, but when I get insulted I want it to be in like an affectionate/patronizing/loving way

Instead of "You're so fucking stupid" I want the hypnodom to go "Awww, you're so fucking stupid ❤️ *jerks you off* "

Tempted to start a payment processor for furries and any/all marginalized groups. Ideally with e2e encryption for the invoice and comment fields because it’s not anyone’s goddamn business what your money is for.

If Stripe, Visa, PayPal, etc. don’t want our money, then fuck ‘em, let’s build our own.

Sometimes being the happiest sad person, is better than being the saddest happy person.

Life will always be heavy, it'll always put this weight on you that you can never truly let go of...

But you get better at it all.

Handling it, carrying, and seeing those sparks of joy.

The witch made him hot chocolate.

"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."

He took a sip.

"They say I can overcome any hardship."

"Mm," said the witch.

"And I can. I do."

The witch said nothing.

"But I shouldn't have to!"

"No."

The witch held the hero as he wept.

"No, you shouldn't."

This is much better than the many other things they want to get us addicted to.

Just took a break and played Rimworld all day. idk. I needed to not think or interact or do anything. I needed something to look forward to slash enjoy in the moment for a change. It… was sorta that, I guess. It was nice. But it was only escapism.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words.

I cannot search three words in quotes.

Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.

And now we have this.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

I hate how deeply angry, bitter and jaded I've become. I hate that that is what I feel most of the time nowadays. And I especially hate that I have good reasons for feeling that way.

Find a creative spark within yourself and fan the shit out of it. Obsess over the act of making, even if it's in tiny ways. Especially if it's in tiny ways. Embrace this miraculous, wondrously human behavior. It is the legacy of your entire goddamn species. Don't let anything take that from you.
I'm really excited for generative AI to crash and burn, actually. I hope it does so spectacularly. I hope the people who pushed it on us suffer great losses from it. I hope those who sold the masses on it are punished. I hope companies that drive it wither away and fade from memory. It deserves it.
