the worst part about learning history is that I feel compelled to play video

stupid dopamine addiction. stupid capitalism, getting us hooked on mental

@user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

like a weird nerd who doesn't know what to do with their hands.
If I spend too much time with people, I get exhausted and I can't think
straight. I start using other people's mannerisms instead of my own.
I'm not an introvert, or an extrovert, I think the dichotomy is stupid and
people have completely separate needs that deplete and recharge at their own
rates.

could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an

the reason drug legalization works is because nobody wants to do fentanyl.
that shit sucks. it also kills you easier than sneezing.
why bother? legalize them all, or perhaps only the safest and most potent, so
nobody ever is driven to consume the cheap substitutes that kill!
unless of course they want you dead. sure makes sense to me why the dealers
who deal fentanyl-laced-whatever are the ones who don't get caught, while the
legit friendly and heartfelt ones are only allowed to operate in rich suburban

people who have learned less. Such is the duty of any teacher. Alas, every
drug you inhale pulls you closer to a world where other people do drugs. Every
feeling you have, you (collectively) find yourself pulled toward that feeling
by just that little bit - all things are gravitic, even the thoughts and

The design is simple: Have an array of function pointers that need to be
assigned to a thread. Then, have a manager thread read through that array, and
for every non-zero value put it into a thread-specific array. Those threads
will read through their personal array and execute whichever function is
pointed to by the function pointer placed in their todo-list by the manager
function.

fucking stupid wait shit content warning okay that's stupid because defining
your expression based on what gets you views is a flaw in the human condition.
It's a behavior encouraged by the operating outcomes of the method of

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

I'm too empathetic to watch them lose this badly. when I watch movies with
cringe humor I have to leave the room whenever something bad happens to the
characters. I get the same feeling when I read about politics these days.
side note, but has anyone else gotten emails about "hiring plain-clothes
police officers in Washington D.C, will offer relocation assistance and pay
minimum 72k per year"? can't help but wonder if they're afraid of a bunch of
sore losers storming the capital with guns.
it's not like there's a precedent for that or anything.

me when it's cold out: we should all bundle up and get through the winter,
every year that passes is more time to gather our strength
me when the temperature rises: okay so this is being handled by those guys,
we're moving this way to do this, and - when did you say the this-and-that was
happening? alright so when you do that-or-this, make sure that you pay
attention to the so-and-so and don't forget to eat real meals, candy or chips
don't count.
me when the eyes are on me: imma play video games and smoke weed and be a
useless little creature who does nothing but occasionally wanders around the
city doing nothing for nobody and dropping notes on post-its that don't mean
anything but are kinda cool to read

It's so sad how some of the best games ever made get glossed over because the
fun you remember is the friendship and fantasy you felt rather than the game
itself
time marches forward, and culture changes to no longer fit the old tools quite
right. Plus they look like PS1 graphics ewwwwww look at those muddy textures
and blocky bits arranged into triangles and meshes! how dorky, how retro

But the past is boring, it already happened after all! Clearly there's nothing
to be learned... Right? Seems like there's a big market out there for examining
what we as a species did right, even if we had to sacrifice ethics to get
there.
