[he/him] just a guy trying to figure things out. i like video games, sports, and music, and occasionally like talking about things. isn't that exciting?
Ah, love when I watch sports on TV, and someone makes a mistake... then they cut to his Dad's reaction and the announcer says "I'm sure his Dad's disappointed."
Yeahhh...... about that.
Yeahhh...... about that.

Today is definitely one of those days where I'm happy I don't use AI as a therapist.
Has it been a shitty day? Yes.
Have I tried my best to use my REAL therapy to keep myself from getting too low? Also yes.
Things are rough, but I'll get through. Ending it all just makes it worse for everyone.

A lot of suicide attempts, especially among young people, are impulsive, which means that throwing up even temporary obstacles can save lives. It's not true that everyone who gets advice on how to kill themselves from an LLM would have figured it out anyway. These tools are causing avoidable deaths.
I am a suicide attempt survivor so I’m kind of selfishly interested in prevention and, again, while it may difficult to completely prevent IDEATION, what ChatGPT does (despite guardrails!) is *cheerlead and facilitate* completion. You can come back from ideation but not a chat-optimized completion.
This is not true. This is argument that pro-gun people use to discount red flag and waiting period laws. Ease of access and lethality (let alone cheerful instruction in the best method!) is the #1 predictor of attempts leading actual completion. The more barriers, the more people live.

So happy to see Ninja Gaiden II (and Battletoads!) on NES Online right now.
My NES-owning friend had this game and we would always take turns trying to get through.
That wind level is permanently etched in my memory.
This will be fun. The first cutscene was a WHOA moment of familiarity for me.

It's funny that I bought FF16 a few days back on discount, largely because I got frustrated with one particular battle in FF14 and wanted a change of pace.
Then I got over that hump in 14.
Now I'm out for dinner and planning what to do in FF14 once I get home.

Finally gave in and bought FF16 at half price. I played and loved the demo a year ago, and have been wanting to get into the full game for awhile. Always had too many other games on the go to play it.
Tonight, some frustration with battles in 14 got me saying "screw it, I want to play 16."

I'm making slow progress with some things the last little bit. Working a bit. Making a bit of progress through games that I've been putting off. Doing more of the things I should be doing and cutting back on a lot of the crap that was making things worse.
No end goal, just focusing on the process.

I don't have a list of fave reasons to watch a sporting event in which I have no rooting interest.
BUT if I DID, snowfall during a football game would be right near the top.
I've gone to a cold(ish) sporting event once, and it was a really fun experience.
(snow is fun. cold rain, not so much)

When my mental health was at its worst (in 2020), one of the many manic ideas I wrote down was "AI therapy".
This was before things like ChatGPT became mainstream, and without any awareness of the environmental and ethical concerns.
I am so thankful that it didn't exist in this fashion back then.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Had a good conversation with someone who offered some good perspective on things. She's 100% right in that it's so easy to get stuck in our heads and hold ourselves back out of fear of others judging us.
More often than not, when I take a chance and actually try a thing, it goes reasonably well...

One of the many fun things about having a cat is the fact they have a VERY keen sense of time, especially when it comes to food.
He does not subscribe to this whole "time change" business.

One of the crappiest things about AI-content taking over everyone is the fact that it's getting harder to tell the legit from the AI. This makes me less likely to trust anything as real, and less likely to look for new things.
Case in point: cover / remix music. Tons out there, but... What's real?

Just need to remind myself, that my inability to get a job, just like the fact I've driven away all of my friends, is not reason to end it all. But damn if it doesn't feel hopeless.
Good thing is that no one would give a fuck if I was gone. But there's still hope that maybe I can turn it around.

I'm stuck. Completely flamed out and got mentally destroyed by my old job positions, which were also a bit on the niche side (for this area).
Don't have the proper experience to take on something more general, so feel stuck in that niche that destroyed me.

Definitely a feeling of emptiness, and having chances to succeed but not working out.
Kind of fits the mood I've been in the last little bit. Making bits of progress but not able to put it all together to get a positive result.
I can't give up yet.

I was NOT expecting Animal Crossing news today. WOW.
I should honestly get back to this. It was a "rehab game" for me in 2020, and maybe will help me get back on the right train five years later.
I'll probably pick it up again soon to prepare for the January update!
