I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

THE ONLY SHIP THAT IS BAD IS CENSORSHIP

oh, i am finally old enough to know why my parents took so long to grab their coats. why they would ask us to get ready to go only to sit down for another round of coffee. what would i tell myself, at 10 years old? it’s okay. sit down with them too. take in the extra hour with your friend and her family. when you get home, write down every moment in your diary. one day you will be older and you will be waving goodbye to your best friend, and you will turn the key to start your beat up little car engine, and you will look back over your shoulder. her hair will be blowing in the wind and she will be beautiful and you will be, for a moment, struck by all of it. what you will feel is so wide and nameless that it will engulf you. and you will think of being 14 and kicking her under the table in math every time you wanted to whisper something behind the teacher’s back. you will think about how long the days felt, and how you could hold her hand whenever you wished, but you didn’t. and you will think about all of the people you could have lingered with. and you will wish, more than you have ever felt a wish, that the universe just gave you that - more time to linger. more time to say - i love you. i know i need to leave, but i don’t want to leave you. and when i go, i am leaving a piece of my heart that lingers too. 

one more round of coffee. the days are so short, and you are so lovely.

A few years ago while trying to find ways to commit suicide as painlessly as possible, I came across a PDF of Dr. Paul Quinnett's The Forever Decision. Thinking it might go into actual methods of suicide (I read an article once that actually did that and was trying to find it again) I started to read it, and I think I only got about two pages in before I was crying too much to actually see the words.

I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.

All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."

But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.

It's intentionally legal to copy and redistribute this book to keep it as accessible as possible, and it's very easy to find, but here's a link for it anyways.

THE MATRIX (1999)

I uad the biggest crush on Emma Thompson when I saw the film in 1993. I was 22 and OMG!

Also, I think she was dating or married to Kenneth Branagh at his time.

But then they weren’t together after the film.

[polarity-disturbed]

Ryland Grace and his popularity as a character feels like such an important step in repairing the cultural tsunami left by the long running trope of every genius character needing to be an insufferable asshole to everyone in a ten mile radios about it.

[polarity-disturbed]

Conversely, Eva Stratt is doing wonders for repairing and inspiring a appreciation for commanding women with dubious moral convictions who are fully willing to bend laws for the greater good without hesitation.

And together they are doing brilliant things by not kissing or hooking up even once.

i work in a tech adjacent role and AI has literally been forced down our throats for everything and i'm really kinda panicking at how my brain is potentially rotting. like literally getting my neurons paved over by AI

i've been making myself run through a mental thesaurus in the morning. is it enough???? hell if i know

what are other anti AI routines people are using? im crowdsourcing now, the old fashioned way

that sucks dude, i'm so sorry. i've found that just by pushing back and being conscious of cognitive offloading, i'm avoiding it more. i try to use google maps less, for example, or actually truly read an article when i want an answer. i think your awareness is doing you a lot of good. other stuff i'm doing is 1) trying to memorize things like instructions or directions or recipes 2) reading a lot more non fiction books, even if it's just one part of it for the thing i want to know 3) talking to people about AI and how much i fucking hate it just to really shame whenever i can.

anyone got go-to anti AI tips?

What a privilege it is to get old.

What a privilege it is to show signs of aging.

What a privilege it is to not have passed at a young age.

What a privilege it is to have smile lines, wrinkles, graying hair, healing scars, and other signs your body has lived for years.

What a privilege it is to get old.
