it's very cool how i can be blasé and even jovial now about something i was so ashamed of that i told literally no one for ~35 years. what a terrible psychic weight to carry

i would be morbidly curious to see what that looks like, though can hazard a guess. lots of people do this already with their own brains, after all

i'm almost afraid to put this idea out into the world (though surely multiple ppl have already had it and done it), but has anyone fine-tuned an LLM to maximise engagement on social media?

that whole "vote or die" thing that sean 'p. diddy' combs did really prefigured the american bluesky lib of 2024/25

old post of mine: "my contribution to crazy italian man discourse is a friend of a friend who immigrated to brazil to get out of paying for a 600€ euro refrigerator he bought on layaway but then decided he didn't want"

one of the many great things about transport in cities like Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen, etc etc etc is lack of these stupid gates, which cost a lot, break and create jams, but conservatives simply believe in destroying public transport as a matter of principle

would have normally done but we were packed like sardines and barely had space to move at all. i also felt vaguely guilty about it happening and did not want to call attention to it somehow?

5 year old boy on the subway is touching my legs through the holes on the knees in my jeans (think he's fascinated by the sheer, black tights i'm wearing underneath) and am genuinely unsure how to deal with the situation

isn't it true, when you really think about it, that there is a james bond inside all of us, against whom we must struggle every day?

they should keep making james bond films and still casting white men for the role, but they should flip it so that he's the recurring villain; a figure of dread who must be defeated again and again. maybe this time we'll kill him? didn't he die in the last film? so you thought!
