Trying to find my way.

Hey, I'm back in Oklahoma now and I’m married! I like sic-fi and fantasy and books and TV shows and anime and all kinds of things.

[copperbadge]

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:

Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

[quantum-jump]

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?

[paramourblessings]

Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?

[autisticcaleb]

Posts like this make me feel so much better. It always seems like society treat responses to others pain as though empathy is the most important kind. I am around 85% compassionate and this post helped me not feel like I am a monster because of that for once.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.

Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.

Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.

Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event

Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.

Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

this is so fucking funny

[kremlin]

i can't stop thinking about this. this kind of shit is not like milsim plane nerds with their own super-expensive desktop cockpit recreations. that kind of hardware makes sense to exist.

this does not. they're playing world of tanks which is like the "call of duty" of tank games (casual, players only slightly bad-smelling). it also doesn't have support for tank peripherals. no game does. no trainers do afaik. which means that (assuming this isn't just a video editing) all of that shit they are fucking with translates into mouse/keyboard inputs that the game understands. that's weird/hard and perplexing, uh, and considering that "tank peripherals" aren't a thing that exist i can only guess they built them theirselves

which is fucking hilarious because why are they so good. why does the fucking cannon breech have a little dry ice smoke effect when the breech opens like they just shot a shell. what. manual turret traverse crank?? did they build a fucking ready rack!! they're even using the correct phraseology which means one of these mofos read a PDF file

Okay so everyone pushes Realism

What they really mean is believablilty

They complain about how women having rights isn’t realistic but dragons are fine. Because by medieval fantasy rules dragons are believable but women having rights is not. Yeah dark example I know but anyway

When you write a story you need to have internal logic and fucking commit to it

I call this the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure principle.

Kingdom Hearts works because while the logic is wonky and batshit, it commits to both its characters and the emotion. It is an emotion driven plot and it is not ashamed of it.

Fuck your western, patriarchal ideas about what makes writing good. Give me my earnest dumpster fires.

I Spy spooky night part 2, and I’ll say that this last picture changed my life. Like every chilly early morning of my life since seeing that image has been referred back to the I spy spooky night window picture because it captured the sleepy nostalgia of a cold early morning better than anything else I’ve ever seen

The bullshit keeps hitting so here is the update. Seller will seller-finance the home to me under a lease-to-purchase agreement if I can do a ten thousand dollar down deposit. I have 6.5k of it right now. I need 3.5k. I am supposed to be out by the 9th. We would be in SAFE housing then. That I own. This bullshit would never happen again. It would open so many doors for me: access to better food, to parks, to better healthcare, community. There are so many advantages to this home outside of housing security. The dogs could get easier access to going out places because everywhere wouldn't be such a drive. There are lovely walking trails, parks, etc. all under 30 minutes (and the huge walking trail? Like 5 mins!). I would have community: there's a local queer book club that does walks at a park; the naturalist group meets four minutes from the home; there's an art club. I would have access to Appalachian grants. Work would be under ten minutes away. I have a work from home opportunity waiting if I just had better internet, which this place has fiber. Mostly, I would have my own damn house, that I can put my stuff in as I wish, decorate as I wish, etc. I would have a working kitchen. I would have a living room I could actually use to, you know, live outside of a damn bedroom. It would be MINE. I can afford it once we get it. I've crunched the numbers multiple ways. It's just getting it. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-graces-journey-to-a-stable-home
