for the longest time I've kind of hoarded the creators I follow for "inspiration", but more and more of that drive has shifted internally and I don't need it as much, it's really refreshing. I've been unfollowing non-moots little by little and keeping it more narrowly focused.

I've been taking a break from social media, I feel like my feed is just full of frustrated people, and content for frustrated people... I'm like yup time to read some books instead

why does her vape look like a flip phone from 2004? @chroma.rip

i find it very alarming that most people see AI as impartial, but in reality its so easy to make a biased model with some minor tweaks to the system prompt

In 2077, what makes someone a criminal?

sometimes I feel very "overlooked" when people who fit the mold end up falling into success without much effort... when you're "different", things like that can happen, but that's ok... carving your own path *is* much harder, but you're also not subservient to the social Ills of broader society...

I wanna get rid of "normies" from my vocabulary, it sounds like that's what everyone's supposed to be. I think they're actually mentally unwell. Instead we should call them one-dimensional people or something like that.

I wish someone would make an infographic of different patterns that can trigger photosensitive epilepsy... I want to make intense visuals that won't kill people but idk how...

yesterday on my way down to my hair appointment I saw a soju truck with a giant anime girl on the side and I think this encourages drunk driving

I think if you're an artist or a creator, it's really important to start putting some kind of "gate" behind your work if it's possible. If you're relying on platforms that use subscriptions or ads, it leaves you vulnerable to AI companies scraping your work in its entirety for very little effort...

every day this becomes more and more true

half of me is like "if this space doesn't allow people like me to thrive, I will simply abandon it and not support it" but the other half of me is like "well if people are making me upset, that's a vulnerability that I have to overcome" and idk which approach is "right" (it's probs a lil of both)

I feel like the tech industry is collectively experiencing (and celebrating) cyberpsychosis and I'm feeling extremely fatigued... this is the lamest cyberpunk dystopia ever ugh

i worked on my stream overlay for a lil bit and I wanna get back into it again biggest issue rn is my job has kept me super busy and my energy levels have been really inconsistent 💀 I miss doing creative stuff a lot tho, I want to make that a normal part of my weeks again

I don't know if this is confirmation bias or not, but all the code I've worked with that's been early on the LLM adoption hype train seems to be extremely buggy, poorly designed, and horribly organized. I really hate that people are like "yeah good enough" and publishing when it barely works...

the way you pronounce http is "halter top" sorry I don't make the rules

how do I help get femme lesbians out of the closet

I touched grass all day today and I'm realizing that all the normies have become homebodies... now the weirdos can roam free in public it's wild

In 2077, what makes someone a criminal?

When someone has strong negative feelings towards me, I usually assume it's my fault... I always felt like an outsider so I try to approach things with humility I think I figured it out tho... I naturally treat people as equals and am good at building rapport, so social climbers feel threatened 💀

is it foolish to want rizz that transcends comphet or is this a mistake

I feel like im going through sapphic hot girl burnout where I tried really hard to make friends with straight e-girls, only to feel completely alienated cause I didn't want to farm validation from male attention... I see other lesb/bi girls go through this and im like... how do we find each other 🥲

I very much dislike this whole concept of "self discipline", I've been disciplined enough as it is thank you very much, really don't need to do it to myself instead of punishing myself for having needs I'd much rather take the time to understand them and work with them lol

Everyone wants a mommy figure to make everything better, but ultimately you're the only one with that power over your own destiny. Yes, that's right, you *are* mommy.

I def have perfectionism tendencies and what fucks me up is that most of the advice around it focuses on fear-based perfectionism, mine is more based around aspiration. I want to make things that are timeless, perfect, up to my own standards. Totally separate problem that I'm still exploring rn.

in honor of bocchi s2 i'm reposting the most popular thing i've ever made

every day when I look at job boards I just get so demoralized... like can I please just decide for myself how I make something for once? I get that using standards is a part of collaborating w/ others but like... please don't send me to the javascript mines again im exhausted

1/ Dear @MarathonTheGame graphic design lovers. It is time for me to burn some bridges. Because thanks to @4nt1r34l daily posters stolen and put as textures in the game and many other assets utilized, you have created AntirealTheGame. @Bungie @josephacross

if the body is a temple then mine's an abandoned cultist temple, still pretty cool but needs some love

My very mentally healthy way of learning Japanese involved getting drunk with concafe girls and I cannot recommend it enough (open thread for more)

rust may be memory safe, but learning it is unsafe for my mental health

At work I was tasked with turning my dinky prototype into a proper rust framework and I think it's making me depressed Once I learn it, every other language will look comparatively easy, but as I try to follow tutorials I'm constantly pelted with new concepts (PhantomData, macros, HRTBs, 'static) 😵‍💫

japanese girl band template: - tomboy drummer - half-twintail bassist, potentially a chunibyou - the guitarist is, ironically, the most normal of the group - unhinged singer who physically cannot sit still (tag yourself im bassist)

I got asked out on a date by a cute girl and I had a fleeting thought that shes actually a fed cause this basically never happens

I've been unplugging from social media lately and it's been really refreshing. - I'm consuming more meaningful, enriching media - my social energy goes into DMing people, not scrolling/liking - "reach" isn't the only thing that matters anymore - I deal with discomfort instead of distracting from it

I love women who work in the beauty industry idk maybe I've just been lucky but I feel like you have to be a girls' girl to work as a hair stylist or a makeup artist... you'd have to be crazy to think "wow I hate women let's make them pretty"

the thing that scares me the most rn is how common it is for emotion to dictate people's internal narrative rather than seeking truth, we're now creating our own convenient truths in order to protect our psyche from change and pain it's always been an issue I guess, but now it's been weaponized 😢

Elon Musk streaming POE 2 on his private plane while listening to “The Final Countdown” and everyone in the in-game chat is whispering him to kill himself. Now that’s cool.

being a good writer makes me both happy and scared I love helping give clarity but im also afraid that I'm the poet lying to you that bjork tried to warn us about

if you told me 5 years ago that valve was gonna win the handheld console wars I would have called you a filthy liar and slapped you across the face

I want to make a psychological horror yuri visual novel about falling in love with a straight woman

finally a dedicated yuri button

It's poison. But I love it. It's poison. But I love it. It's poison. But I love it. It's poison. But I love it. It's poison. But I love it. It's poison. But I love it. It's poison. But I lov- I fell out of love. It's kind of unpleasant now. It's poison. But it's become routine.

it'd be so fun to put on a haunted house, except instead of spooky monsters it's just yandere girls

I love that in the epicenter of all the motorcycle shops in SF, theres a shop for bdsm leather goods they know their audience
