This blog is a very random collection of things that grab my interest with the occasional personal post.

Most of my fandom activity is over at my (remade) Star Trek sideblog @trillscienceofficer.

Hey guys you should totally get into this thing i like. Yeah it's mid at best. It also aged poorly. You'll get nothing out of it at all. You'll like the idea of it more than the actual thing. But at least only takes half your natural lifespan to finish it

"less is more" is a lie perpetuated by big small to sell more less

Is there a word for occupying the space where normies think you're a freak and freaks think you're a normie?

I tell a woman with a 9 to 5 office job about the slightly niche speculative fiction novel I just finished and she goes "Oh, that's...interesting. I hadn't heard of that."

I tell a grungy chick I met at a dive bar about the same book and she kinda scoffs and goes "Okay" like I said my favorite show is Sesame Street

“i love how we as a fandom have just agreed that–” don’t include me in this. do NOT lump me in with that.

sometimes you invent mind prisons for yourself for no good reason and youre like "i really like being in the mind prison" even though you dont actually like being in the mind prison

AITA for asking my husband to stop posting our interpersonal conflicts on Reddit?

My (29F) husband (36M) and I have been together for almost ten years now and like any couple we occasionally get into arguments. Over the years I've noticed a pattern where the day after an argument he'd either give me an eloquently-phrased apology or, more often, a perfectly logically sound counterargument that completely proves that I was in the wrong. My hubby is an intellectual hunk so I've never thought this was suspicious, but the other day he brought up a counterargument that was so logically airtight that my only response was to laugh and say "Did you get that from Reddit or something?", because even though I don't use Reddit I know the reputation it has for being a center for wit and intellectual debate.

Well, turns out I was right. Every time we've ever gotten into a fight, he's always posted about what happened on r/AmItheAsshole and used the comments he gets to decide what to say the following day. When he told me this, I demanded to see some of these posts and he obliged.

To my surprise, not only has he been posting our arguments on this subreddit, he's been posting them from my perspective, writing them as though I'm the one posting these stories on Reddit from over a hundred different throwaway accounts. He'd always "anonymize" the posts too, apparently changing our relationship, genders, and ages with a random number generator, which is honestly really clever because it preserves our privacy without changing any important details for the purpose of deciding who was right in the argument.

Anyway, I really didn't like that he was basically impersonating me on the internet, but of course I didn't want to admit this to him so I made something up about him "misrepresenting" my side of the argument, even though I know he's a perfectly rational man and that it's impossible for him to be biased when describing things from my perspective. So I told him that he needs to stop putting our interpersonal conflicts on Reddit and "think for himself" (and of course I know that he really is thinking for himself but sometimes my womanly emotions cause me to say things I don't really mean. Fortunately he's always able to see through that and understand exactly what I meant to say every time.) but he refused, saying he doesn't think he did anything wrong. And then like always he got really quiet for the rest of the night and we haven't really talked since.

So, Reddit, am I the asshole?

with the rise of LLM chatbots who maintain and solicit users by flattering them, there has never been a better time to be a stupid, intentional loser who becomes blisteringly skeptical of anything nice said about them

man you really can be a terror in someone's life and not even feel a single thing. my FIL couldn't remember when he showed up at our place we'd just moved in with zero warning because he panicked at the fact that we were about to get civil unioned, and then spent the next three days watching me like a hawk and not talking to me. i could never ever forget that (lausanne, september 2017) and he had completely forgotten!!! what the fuck!!!

luckily when you're moving out you encounter all the little problems that even an apartment you loved very much inevitably has, and all at once, so leaving stings somewhat less...
