Cypressed

i kinda feel this. of course, there are levels of granularity to terminology that will unfortunately result in people using the same words to refer to different things. but whatever terms there are, i use linux mint and whatever kernel/os/shell/ui/etc that implies is fine by me.

oof im feelin this as well lately ._.

i honestly think it’s dietary.

my mood used to lapse into crashes like this when i used to eat stuff that’s bad for me.

every time i eat a lot of carbs and/or sugar, this is liable to happen, and this past week has been rather ‘excessive’ on the indulgences…

last weekend i visited my friends in another state and i let myself cut loose and eat whatever. and it was lovely while it was going on. but now that i have to readjust to get back on the nutrition plan that was having good results for me, i’m having a little bit of a hard time.

upshot is,

hormones do lots of stuff aside from just the most obvious things they do. and in my case, it alters my mood in ouchy ways. i get insecure like this and start to feel increasingly sensitive to detrimental ideations. kinda … lowkey baader-meinhof phenomenon / frequency illusion but for badfeels and badthoughts. just having them on my mind makes them louder.

…

anywho,

you are loved sis

i would totally hug you a lot

making a list of undesirables to disenfranchise is a rather alarmingly faschy thing to do >.>; just sayin’…

i’ve been mulling it over and it creeps me out more and more. all too easily, a misplaced sense of self-importance in a principal administrative figure can spoil like milk forgotten in a hot car. I’ve seen this sort of thing happen PERSONALLY.

Someone I had known became the big fish in their small pond. They began systematically ejecting and excommunicating anyone who didn’t agree with them. Eventually the only people left in their circle were exclusively yes-men who did not DARE to challenge or question anything–lest they were to dispose of said yes-men too. Yes-men incentivized to say ‘yes’ to, and thereby condone, and then encourage, increasingly outrageous and deranged impulses.

The first domino has fallen over and struck the second, which is now tilting past any point of equilibrium. For a while longer, everything will be fine; the people who ingratiate themselves will be selectively immune from the same criticisms that get others blanket-‘disappeared’… so hey, one might enjoy using that frontend for now…

…but I implore mindfulness and wariness. Very seldom do I see someone cross the first line without crossing the rest of them eventually. It’s not impossible, but it’s far from common. Anyone still using that frontend, if they start seeing “a certain kind of person” being bolstered exceptionally at the expense of everyone else, it’s time to bail.

While it’s not my place to dictate what the tesseract dev does, I do recall reading that they specifically were feeling dissatisfied with the work, and disappointed by the way their users were acting, and had been considering abandoning the project. While I can’t speak for this developer, obviously, I can’t help but imagine myself in their position… and on that basis I for one believe I would have sooner relinquished the project and walked away entirely rather than see myself turn it into a tool of targeted harassment and marginalization With A Cheerful Coat Of Paint.

…

it’s just setting off my alarm bells real bad. This looks too much like other abusive shit i’ve been through over the decades.

but eh. maybe i’m just paranoid… grain of salt, mileage may vary, et cetera.

Hmm. Yeah, I think you’re right. If I share this with friends online anywhere else I’ll leave it out.

The bed is too damn hot.

“Please select the toy whose attributes are more likely to statistically correlate with the reproductive caste demographic which has been labeled ‘male’ by the consensus of Homo Sapiens who speak English.”

“Ma’am do you think a college educated sociologist would work at a fast food drive-thru?”

“In this economy? Absolutely, yes.”

“…”

“…”

“…okay fair, I’ll put the toy car in the bag.”

“a god that loves you unconditionally, but only under certain conditions” type shit XD

i’m of the opinion that willfully choosing to break a rule after being told why it exists would belong in a different category than not understanding why the rule exists and thus not being able to justify its relevancy.

there are too many systems with conflicting contradictory rules where following all of them is literally impossible and even neurotypicals have to cull instructions on the basis of relevancy as a result, after all…

another absolute banger from TotallyNotJessica <3

if a sausage that claims to be ‘meat’ is, by majority volume and weight, non-meat filler, though… i daresay there are some people who would take issue with that, and i wouldn’t blame them. Meat can be sausage… but sausage CAN be made with no meat, or almost no meat.

i hope historians ten thousand years from now will find record of both the gene wilder version of wonka AND what’s left of homeric texts, and this post too, and realize the same conclusion.

i might have been convinced that chatbots could’ve had some utility as sort of advanced ‘rubber duck debugging’, but in my humble opinion talking to an actual rubber ducky is a superior process because literal rubber duckies are not known for telling us to kill ourselves unless we’ve taken a truly apocalyptic quantity of hallucinogens.

Hmm, you do make a fair point. Chatbots, indeed, are absolutely not velociraptors.

… So FAR.

There is at least one that i contempt even more:

Anything that starts with “well, Grok told me…”
