A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).

This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you.

RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

🚨 BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all NYC students to carry a 3DS.

I'm amused, but also not surprised that Trump ended up praising Mamdani. I am surprised that he basically made that 'do you think Trump is a fascist' question easier for Mamdani.

I think the Trump and Mamdani takeaway is just that Trump desperately wants to be considered charming and beloved.

He loves being near success of any kind, it makes him feel powerful and successful by proxy.

one of the big lessons re conservatives and especially conservative christians is that they are more satisfied by being comparatively better off than others rather than being better off in absolute terms.

they’re perfectly happy to lose if you lose more.
There are a lot of conservstives screaming "THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS" as their lives get measurably worse.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

If you believe that creating art is too hard to do with your own hands and mind, you do not deserve to create it. It is painful, arduous, and soul-sucking in every step from conception to release.

But it bears love, truth, and authenticity machine can't ever recreate in the end.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Destroying the New California Republic just so the TV show could have a world of shit to play in was an ass decision, especially when there were still other parts of America they could have used instead.

It wasn't a good story decision and was transparently just so the world could remain shit.

I really enjoyed my time with Digimon Time Stranger, but it still can't stop thinking about how Kosuke pretty much disapears from the plot, and how underused D-SAT was.

The D-SAT plotline gets to have only one dungeon dedicated to it.

in my head i call this the "hermione granger problem." like hermione, melinoe is a character that is defined primarily by her competence. she's always better, working harder, more determined that both her foes and her peers. as a result the character feels pretty flat!
if there's nothing Melinoë needs to learn, no way in which she must transform to accept a denied truth, then act 3 will always be disappointing.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
