I’ve been boycotting Amazon since 2004. Waiting for everybody else to see it too. … See it yet??? Everybody???

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany moment now…

… it’s going to start to trickle down.

“Why was 6 scared of 7? Because 7 8 9.”

(that works better spoken, than in text. … 7 ate 9.)

Fuckit, lets all go install templeOS.

Alas, but, tragedy of commons and game theory [(and FOMO)] have us racing to the bottom (~ along with a dozen other things impeding an effective collective bargaining, or any of the other things that would otherwise allow us to have nice things).

Is there a queue?

Couldn’t we just have warning messages?

Thus preserving free speech and not setting a precedent that may [/ shall inevitably] come back to bite us.

Maybe even LLM could generate the warnings on the fly.

“Look out! Now he’s reading the plans off the teleprompter! … Look out! Now he’s spitballing freestyle! … Beware there are three fallacies per word uttered for this portion. … Beware of the fevered ego of a narcissist tactically noising up an evasive distraction, gaslighting, darvo, future faking. … Warning: This section contains fascist tactics of blaming the other, drumming up fear of losing an identity of a nostalgic past that never really existed, drumming up hate and racial groupthink to induce a divisive totalitarian mob eager to militarise under supremacist delusion of destiny to rule to be fulfilled by jingoist expansionism and total domination but wraps it in a euphemism of flowery language heavilly laden with superlatives. … Fact check: This portion makes false claims of having fulfilled promises. … Note: this is just empty tautological statements sandwiched between bragging and boasting and hard-sell. … Warning: This section contains a psyop to dupe you into thinking you should be blindly faithful to your leader, rather than your elected representative being faithful to the will of you the people.”

… Stuff like that. n_n

Or maybe simpler, just like on tobacco products. “Warning, listening to this may cause brain damage, emotional instability, cognitive dissonance, discombobulation, and totalitarianised fascistic supremacist persuasions of competing groupthinks, to divide and conquer your population with this, a weapon of mass distraction. Observe responsibly.”

Or maybe more compassionate, like a health warning… “this is what happens to you when you let yourself get played by blackmailers who want to wear your narcissistic ego like a puppet, and you stew your brain in excitotoxins for decades to induce a slow chemical lobotomy leaving you blissfully oblivious to how much you get played like a puppet.”

… Okay, I’ll stop. I realise I could probably do dozens of these, and they’re not really that funny or revealing or hot or useful to be worth it. n_n

So it’s a turkey!

And is that a meleagris or galus on the right?

first the prudish, then the hentai

Oh this must surely confound and anger at least a few anti-transgender trump supporters.

Quick side note regarding:

Now I know what to watch on my day off!

Don’t judge it by season 1, when it was still finding its feet. It’s worthy, past whatever scruffy shabbiness of early season 1.

… fairly obviously not. LOL. Key piece of evidence, I’m still alive.

Both accounts use long, structured, paragraphs with somewhat of a scholarly tone. Both often use unsolicited hyperlinks for definitions or references in their paragraphs. Both have an interest in Star Trek.

… Up to that point, I started freaking out, thinking I maybe look a bit like one of their alts. lol. yikes.

… Mushrooms and grass are free, growing all around… So… presumably you mean you have to pay to be touched?

Reminds of when I got dumped, and went out with an air rifle and shot a couple birds (would have been 3, but I missed with the last slug I found). Utterly out of character. I wonder (and doubt) if they (at least yet) likewise feel greatest remorse for their weakest moment [of “hurt people hurt people”].

… And reminds of [in Babylon5] when Lennier had a moment of fail, out of character, ran from saving Sheradin, … and How D’lenn handled it, sympathetic to how we are each susceptible to such moments of fail and we let our worst overtake our better.

Still… another’s capacity for such wise sympathy (or empathy), is no excuse for them.

[Edit: … After being reminded of the specific situation this time though… I strongly doubt that’s even their weakest moment of hurting people; strongly doubt that’s a mere case of a rare moment of letting their worst get the better of their better… given what was initially done (and in which direction!!!). Wardrobe not big enough for all those skeletons [that I imagine, I hope, merely metaphorically].]

Confluence of stress burnout, and character traits.

Is worthwhile to explore both the psychological and societal precursors to such.

… Probably worthwhile looking into narcissism too. Albeit many perspectives on the topic, there are common themes and distinct insights to catch, that are sometimes difficult to really have sink in, so distinct and alient an umwelt exists behind the contrastingly “normal” facade. Until blow-out.

… Probably worthwhile looking into autism too. Maybe AuDHD specifically (whom are the majority). The absence of the socially normativising stuff, from the different neurophysiology, almost like we’re having to do all the work of the cerebelum, the gpu, in the forebrain, the cpu, with the neuronal journeys having more finegrain, less pruning, and fewer main reinforced trunks, and so experience far more of the intricate detail all the way there, and all the way back… it’s not just exhausting in itself, the extra brain power required for all the meta-navigation, only having the intricacies of side roads of working-it-out-now, none of the popular motorways of presumption, but also exhausting from the resultant clashes, and the cassandra syndrome, putting up with a majority who dismiss what you see in preference for their shared reality, regardless of how well it can be seen otherwise… no judgement on who’s right or wrong there, only a consideration of what it’s like, having to live like that. … I can imagine that adds a whole other dimension of burnout to be experienced. And then when having found something that can accommodate you, avails a space where you’re finally allowed the control you need to soothe your fine-grain sensitivities from that different awareness frequency range, gives you that peace, and then that area expands back into the social space, where there’s still a different umwelt clash, each modality appearing stupid to the metrics of the other modality. And in the absence of support nor aptitude in that other’s stubborn paradigm, for your own stubborn paradigm, whether you try to brashly persist in your integrity, or you try to bend to fit, it exhausts, either way. And then melt-downs and rage-attacks and so on can happen. Especially when got so close to it, and identified with it, this new thing you made that availed you such grace, that could save the world, that’s part of you… and then these ungrateful swine come along and threaten it!? Yeah, I can see how such blow-outs could come about.

Especially bad if one has both autism and narcissism. The narcissism would preclude their any will whatsoever to self improvement. They’d have total aversion to accountability. No real introspection, and thus no real regret or apology is possible. Only pretence. If even that. Sometimes the grandiosity slips out of the mask of even the most covert narcissists (and community narcissists, martyr hero narcissists, vulnerable narcissists, etc). Narcissists, especially the true ones, where it has become their personality, and not just a rare incidental moment or rarer trait, in having itpped past the point of introspection, into delusional non-reality in fantasy love of their self image, no longer able to distinguish other people as other people, seeing them only as means to their own ends, and lingering in that, growing more machiavelian, psychopathic, even sadistic and demented. And in a way, a bit of a saving grace for us all, if the autism’s louder than the socially manipulative covert machiavellianisms. Better the devil we can see [because they lack the social aptitude to hide], than the devil we cannot see [because they hide among us, pretending to be the paragons of virtue].

As in not just honest ones for robustness against outages, but, sock puppets?

Oh! Is that maybe why my network choked to a mere double figure kb crawl after I posted about it [~ and pasting the diatribe for posterity, and so others wouldnt have needed visit that]?

I just presumed it was the dozen distro ISO I was downloading at the time too, in a distroholic relapse.

… I’m not really paying attention to all this drama.

I happen to be listening to autechre when I saw this.

Disappointed it’s a different æ.
