I put together a website about BPD & how low-dose buprenorphine helped me become more stable. The endogenous opioid dysregulation theory suggests that people with BPD may have lower baseline endogenous opioids & end up trying to self-regulate through intense behaviors.

I was thinking about why it seems like I'm all of a sudden able to and have more desire to talk with people again.

I got back on some medicine on November 1st, after being off it for a year and a half.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I urge companies to take funding contributors seriously, in ways that aren’t tied to projects and goals. Being a generalist in the compiler meant that often I wasn’t working towards a roadmap, but my contributions *always* paid off in the long term extensibility of the language.

second: "HELLO! :)"

got our 3d printers set up today with the help of a friend & my first print just finished around 2:30am.

i do not understand why it’s socially unacceptable to offer potential medical explanations for someone’s symptoms. instead we’re all just quietly watching each other fall apart.

quick grocery run & then more interview prep?

whenever we got support tickets from users being extremely mean, i’d reply saying we are willing to help and it’s not okay to talk to agents like that - 99% of replies apologized and said they didn’t realize they were talking to a person instead of a bot
Yes! Yelling at the LLM is the gateway to yelling at customer service phone tree agents because you think they're LLMs running text to speech is the gateway to yelling at a cashier just because you had a bad day
even if one wants the ai to stop existing, one does not want the repeated neural loop of "yelling at an anthropomorphizable being who is only trying to help"

i remember from my last set of interviews a couple years ago that someone told me i needed to not take rejection so personally. i'm proud to say i'm finally able to do that.
