This was utterly predictable if you've ever actually tried to engage with disabled people for their feedback before passing legislation.

imagine if we were stuck with the PS2 forever, like, there would be no more video game hardware ever, the pinnacle was the PS2, in hardware capability, fascinating to think how far we would have pushed the hardware and what direction video games would have went in...

Before I had my first bipolar type II episode I did have a head injury, which I thought was pretty minor, but maybe it was significant. The pharmacological explanation fits better however. The disease ultimately has driven by a genetic predisposition first.

I might still go into medicine one day if I can get my attention issues sorted, which I'm on the way to doing

The best feeling I ever felt in my life was drinking a white monster and doing research at the same time while listening to paramore

don’t talk to me or my son ever again

My definitive console/gaming hardware ranking, from best to worst GameCube Xbox 360 Original Xbox PSP PS3 DS PS4 PS1 PS2 Switch My reasoning behind my choices is very mixed but it's my holistic assessment of how *fun* each console was, including factors like hardware, aesthetics, vibe, games

When you think about it the whole concept of pharmacology is crazy, especially for drugs that affect cognition, like antidepressants. Something you can ingest orally and it changes the functioning of your brain in profound ways.

Things are going to be good. I feel my health issue is close to resolving itself. I can feel good again for the first time in years... I hope

Early Paramore is the best, captures a very specific vibe and Zeitgeist, much more meaningful than later work, which isn't bad.

I hate artificial sweetner so much aaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhh

now a coke cola, a red bull, an american cherry dr pepper, now we're talking

I actually hate drinking water, it's unpleasant, it feels gross

I simply don't feel thirst anymore, I don't know why. I used to always drink when I was thirsty but now I drink to make sure I'm hydrated and I have to get really dehydrated before I even want to touch water.

I really do feel low energy today, it's so unbelievably grey outside

Because I'm in physical pain almost all the time at the moment, it seems to be inhibiting depression, like I don't have the ability to be depressed because it's so distracting

I focus a lot on nostalgia these days because my life is very difficult - there's something especially comforting about the GameCube.

I'm finally ready to buy silver...

I just looked up ssd prices... wtf

The past 8 weeks feel longer than the past 4, maybe 5 years, I'm not joking. I used to go through months like they were nothing, one after the other, ultra rapid passing of time.

Suddenly reflecting on all these emotions.

Had my endoscopy today, despite 4mg of Midazolam it was still somewhat traumatic, I have a few clear memories, but I think 5 - 10 minutes felt like 35 seconds so it was over quickly.

There's nothing I love more than buying a product that solves a problem, and does it in an orderly and superior way

gave into peer pressure (i'm the peer)

Important to understand that the idea that autism varies along multiple dimensions - that the 'spectrum' is not simply a line - goes all the way back to Lorna Wing, who formulated the idea of the autism spectrum in the first place. She is known to have been frustrated by its misinterpretation.

It's the year of the dreamcast

can a guy just go on a date to mcdonalds for once

Stomach may finally be cured now... My hernia resolved... Symptomatically... Due to my crazy weight loss rate

Weight: lost Haircut: done Fantastic

My weight loss so far, 90kg -> 74kg Now going a bit too fast under traditional advice but I have a medical condition that demands it.

Rice crispy squares are a great snack when dieting because so much of the volume is air, it gives you the illusion of eating a large amount. I eat 4x chocolate ones a day and I still manage to lose 1kg a week.

I'm closing to resolving EVERY major health problem I've had in my 20s. These are things that basically made normal life impossible. And I'm rapidly solving all of them.

I keep crying, the NHS won't help me

Shocking interaction with the receptionist at the GP, almost laughing at me as I describe an emergency, seems to wonder why I'm calling, it's hard to believe - never had such a bad interaction before. The issue is these people triage what I say to the doctor but do a bad job of it.

This is the worst medical crisis of my life 😭 it might simply be too much for me to cope with... Like I can't deal with agonizing pain and growing injury... I could actually die... I don't think it's life threatening exactly.... It is injuring me.... But it's obliterating my quality of life

In a difficult health situation, I have to balance contradictory problems I need to make metabolic progress, weight loss, to fix my medical condition I can't consume too much fat because it exacerbates my medical condition I can't sit down because of my medical condition.

I'm going to buy the ayn thor, a slightly impulsive and reckless consumer purchases, but it's also going to make me feel GOOD

You notice as you get older that the idea of play - imaginative, non-productive forms of recreation that aren't tied to status, productivity, wealth - are increasingly frowned upon in Western cultures, certainly Anglo ones, and this is especially true for men.

As I've gotten older I've come to enjoy musicals a lot more, whether they're camp, or just earnest in a way that's not traditionally cool.

A conversation I'd love to have, would be to sit down with my biological mother, and then her parents, and then be able to discuss what went wrong and our experiences and so on. This is sadly impossible

I sincerely believe that I have the ability to learn to read french instantaneously... and by that i mean, I will study for many many months and my comprehension will go from 0% to 80% or higher just like that. This is exactly how I learnt English.

I have literally solved so many technical problems with AI, as well as complex, meaningful semantic ones, not with the AI doing it for me, but by engaging in a discourse. The progress of these models has been ferocious so if you haven't used them in a year you may not be aware of what you're missing

I try to post here actively, but posting about AI and related matters can be incredibly unpleasant. It's the one topic on which I'm guaranteed to have randoms attribute not just ulterior motives but a whole worldview to me on the basis of anything that reads less than totally negative.

feeling moderately happy, very relaxed (by my standards), a feeling of zen, that everything makes sense, a feeling of clarity

1/5 Monday The Wombats This week’s artist(s) inspired by @xtal.bsky.social The paint watches me as I dry here The pain watches me as I waltz through This black hole ••••• There's a cigarette in my mouth A nicotine patch is on the floor When did we get addicted to the cure?

inside my head I'm actually very whimsical FOR YOUR INFORMATION

I do also reason for myself it's not just the machines that do it

Been forced by my disability to dive super deep into nutrition and the pharmokinetic profile of my medication in interaction with various foods. Thinking about different kinds of starches, protein content, and so on.
