Sometimes a snarky wit, sometimes political, sometimes treating this place like it's my college LiveJournal account. Supportive when I can be.

After 2 years and 57 days, this streak is about to come to an end. It might make it another day or two, but after that I will be off in the mountains and very much unable to continue satisfying the green owl's requirements.
If we share a friend streak on Duolingo, my apologies in advance.

In terms of ego, tech bros *hate* that there's other valid stuff in the world that other people could be better at than them.
In terms of money, how can you control the world if there's not One True Technology, but rather a diverse ecosystem of lots of little different types of technologies?

I can’t understand, after the last 30 years of it happening EVERY TIME, how people think AI is going to stay free
Once everyone’s reliant, it’ll cost a fortune we just “have” to pay
Its energy needs will cost us the only world we have
All so someone doesn’t have to write their own Reddit shitpost

It doesn't even work worth a damn. Its writing is inferior, and its Internet summaries wildly inaccurate. The only thing making it seem worthwhile is the Silicon Valley scamming to make it temporarily cheap -- when the costs catch up, any reliance built upon it will become a massive liability.

Am bisexual. Can confirm.
You can probably get a bisexual at a discounted rate tho
It’s June 1, so if you haven’t reserved your homosexual yet be advised that we’re into surge pricing now.

Here, have a beautiful and whimsical art thread as a palate cleanser.
THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens.
After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

So somehow I might've handled a relational blip... like an adult? Who is aware of being a flawed being and is able to see and accept "flaws" in another person?
How'd I finally learn to do that?

Gotta love having "Oh no, not again. This one was safe!" attachment trauma Stuff on the key weekend I need to be efficiently packing and moving.
Esp when doing a fast moveout is also a trauma trigger for me.

The processs sucks, so I only apply for ones it looks like I could actually tolerate for more than a month, and also only ones I feel pretty confident would accept me.
Also while I have one I'm unlikely to seek anything better even if it's not a great fit.
Am I talking about job hunting or dating?

I love° that I can know *why* a thing feels Extra Bad, know that the current situation is not the same as the one the set up the Extra Bad feel, and yet neither of those two recognitions do anything to stop the emotional flashback.

I'm not gonna do the full format here, but I will tell you that Kaylee was my closest match and Wash is in my top 5.
Which is funny, because I'm pretty sure my coworkers would put Zoe higher than Wash on my list. She didn't even crack my top 30.
The Genie from Aladdin comes in at 24, though 😁

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know:

I would say "#goals," but it turns out I actually like living in a walkable neighborhood and having many of my friends within a 30-min radius.
I'd probably be more the "two modest-nice houses close to my favorite people, and maybe a shared cabin somewhere" type, while also avoiding the public eye.

I love that this sounds profound when what really happened is that I thought my shadow on a blank white wall across the street was a familiar person and I almost waved to them 😂
Late-night walking around thought:
I am never alone so long as there is light to cast me a shadow.

Sorry folks, this TL is probably going to spend some time as a dumpster for deferred grief.
Why defer the grief?
Partly I wasn't ready for the loss. Partly, didn't want to feel angry.
Why be angry?
Because sometimes it's the only lifeline out from the pit of believing I'm fundamentally unwantable.
