I caught the trailer for Starfleet College and it's all dark with children screaming. It is wild that nowadays I go to grimdark 40k for my 'the situation is bad, but people are still generally good' fix.

With every new MS thing I think about installing Linux. But what's the point of an everyday OS if I need to swap back half the time when I want to play games? I would still have to deal w/ AI cruft but would have extra homework.

If you're seeing this, be vigilant. The Generational Clouding spell is weakening. There are fools amongst us that keep reminding others that Gen X exists whenever it's properly forgotten in lists. Work to silence them and let all others scrying pass over you. It will hold and we will be forgotten.

"I am glad you have accepted the truth of gods light into your heart" --> You chose the right brand of chips at the store. The fact that I think that way says a lot about me. But the fact that @shadowsinger.bsky.social understood says a lot about her. (Not really, but it's funny)

A spear of ember slammed into a station on the command deck. The ember shattered on impact and spread into other parts. I removed the spear and it broke into pieces on the floor. The pieces seem to still be causing issues and are hard to remove.

I fear that all biz owners will take from this is the same thing they've taken from all recent sales stats: Just do a Balatro. No one quite knows what this means exactly, as Balatro has already been made. But you know someone is slapping this into the slack channel and just berating their team.

The websites asking you to turn off your adblocker sound like forest spirits asking you to break the salt circle around your cabin. You can trust these spirits, they're not going to steal your body! Come on!

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

"I'm sure people will understand you[r writing]." This is one of those phrases that can be a compliment, insult, or pitying. Based on word emphasis or surrounding language this can be reassuring that your ideas are beneficial or reminding you that everyone else is flawed too.

Thousands of years later, the technoarcheologists would argue about the exact start and cause of The Great Change. But the general population would reference the following inscription when asked...

I've said it before, but I hate how good I feel when I'm alone in the darkness at night. I don't want to be some goth cliche and I don't want to fall into the stereotypes of schizo folks. But I feel free and alive and unburdened. Like a change of atmosphere to my body and crispness to my mind.

My mind is not doing well. Both in structural stability and in vibes. I have bubbles where I'm able to work, but its fleeting. I'm worried about how long it has taken and will take to return to functionality.

I had a minor break yesterday. I'm experiencing slowness of thought and movement. Not like full catatonia, but I don't know better terms. As of today I haven't recovered. I have small bubbles of lucidity. I'll probably recover, but it still worries me. It's not a good/fun/helpful experience.

I love the feeling when I create a metaphor and someone says it doesn't make sense, nor do they agree with or like it, but that it works/passes. It feels like I breached some wall between realities.

One of the highest compliments you can get as a schizotypal person is seeing the term lexical gap come up when you search for a word that fails spell check.

Thank you! There are so many people 'on my side' that love to attack their enemies by saying they're mentally ill like me. They see evil actions and say it's like those terrible people with personality disorders. They're really saying they hate me and this guy is bad by association.

*I gently nudge the Drukhari guiding my chaos warband through the Dark City* I sure hope there is a gift shop. I would love to pick up some Commoragh-tive plates! [I am slowly skinned alive over the next 700 years]

There was always 3 of my first name in all of my classes so most of us went by our last names to differentiate. But I nearly went by my middle name (like my father, who was the 3rd frank) instead. Folks, this was decades before the MCU blew up... and I dodged a bullet.

My brother reminded me just how odd our grandfathers name was. It sounds like someone a bad pulp writer would make up... ~"I went to the man I knew could give me the unfiltered word on the street. A man who really tells you like it is... Frank Stark."

I don't know why, but typing out 'Yer lads at ω' made my brain feel nice.

I always love when tags on steam aren't necessarily wrong but accidentally collect two very different games. Like MechWarrior and Need for Speed both involve vehicular combat, but the in-world experience is a bit different.

My team is losing so badly to this Wukong and Neeko team I'm seeing double! Eight Wukongs?!

I am also reminding everyone to please 'read a second book' in regards to autism vs [every other mental/neurological problem]. People who are not you may in fact face different issues than the ones you personally face.

I do not get the problem that people (often not diagnosed) have with the term personality disorder. I get that you see people are being attacked or marginalized. It's a imperfect but sufficient way of describing where a disorder is shown. The problem is with the hurtful people, not the term.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

] Looking up 'rubric' to see if I'm using it right in regards to mental health self-repairs •one rabbit hole later• "Mr. Plinkett was a wedding videographer‽"

"trad wife" is such a ridiculous concept. "wife" is not a tradition. "wife" was invented in 1991 to distract you from the gulf war

My brain is full of errors and dread.

One of the ways to block this is to protect those already diagnosed as mentally ill. I don't currently see a lot of outreach or support in that space, but I have hope. I come across plenty of people on 'my side' (usually centrists, not leftists) who promote removing rights from the mentally ill.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

I spent years researching and trying to explain the imperial boomerang to people and he just … tweeted this out

Everything feels about a foot further than it actually is. Reality hits my eye and then passes down a field before contacting some inner oculus. This visual disconnect is mirrored by my mind separating and drifting apart. I am more worried about what this presages. But it doesn't feel great.

All iPads share the same soul, stretched out among all of the clones. Each desktop is an individual, faults and all.

As the pistol is jammed against the back of my skull I finally realize just how dangerous starting this budget airline really was. "Nothing personal, but we really meant it when we said nothing beats a Jet2 holiday..."

happy labor day

"Only humans can be haters. I celebrate my humanity."

Come across a profound, sorrowful, and truthful statement about existence that was translated from a quote by H. Miyazaki, but you don't know which one? Was it how pain connects us all and mentions swamps? That's Hidetaka. Was it how pain connects us all and mentions color theory? That's Hayao.

One of the wildest things about running an anime con was the sudden change when my formal title of 'President and Chairman' was translated for the guests. I morphed from some odd dude to Kaicho and everyone reformalized/reintroduced and changed their language and stance.

There's a strange rule of thumb about mental disorders. Autism is >3% and Schizotypal is <1% chance. So both would be ~0.015% right? Except comorbidity throws a wrench in. It's more common to ~qualify for a second disorder on the comorbid list than the general population.

I love how some humans in 40k don't experience 'transhuman dread' and just treat space marines as any other person. It's like if a house cat somehow made friends with a mountain lion while exploring the woods behind your house. "Hullo! Can BiggestFriend also have treats?"

Lots of people are justifiably angry at late-stage capitalism and the entire idea of the free market. But these companies aren't 'subverting the system'. You're just mixing up clients with users. The shareholders/investors/VCs love this slop. They're the market, not you.

The difference is that lawn darts never told childhood me to throw the darts directly up in the air and that I should hide this behavior from adults in my life. They had instructions on what to and not to do and I could never circumvent them by saying I was writing a novel about skull injuries.

This was an odd time to be into games: "Motion controls are the future" "The US company has the JRPGs" "Nintendo is dark and gritty" The truth was also there: Console games focusing on online multiplayer, MS throwing good money after bad, and Nintendo is for everyone.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Ah yes, but "Those within the direct eyeline and then those who came across her throughout the night made notice of her" doesn't fit the rhyming scheme... So we needed to take some liberties. I'm well aware that club layouts usually have several subsections. We were trying to convey her uniqu...

Ever stumble across a name and find out that everything they made was your jam? I think I've liked everything Tomoya Asano has produced. Triangle Strategy, DQ and FF DS remakes, Bravely Default and Octopath? Then I come to see his first producer title was R.A.D. and that's awesome.

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.
