really one of the things i hate most about the ai fuckening we're currently in is that it positions me as the person wearing a tinfoil hat when i try to suggest that maybe handing over biometric and personal data to tech companies is bad, actually.

like maybe perhaps perchance we don't want it scanning our children's faces to do age verification because we don't know what it's going to do with those scans down the line. maybe we shouldn't be using it like a therapy machine and telling it our deepest, most painful things. maybe we shouldn't be giving it a dossier of our detailed medical information, especially in a world (in the us) where things like not being able to hold pre-existing conditions against someone for insurance is increasingly threatened. perhaps we shouldn't be scanning our faces for funny little short videos into something that can also generate porn on demand with all of the data it's collected.

maybe, stay with me and please stop building the tinfoil hat i can see you putting on my head coworker/friend/casual acquaintance, ai ISN'T a miracle to solve humanity's problems and is instead just more tech churned out by tech bros who have not historically been super great when it comes to morals.

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

[junglejim4322]

Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you

Urban Harvest - global foraging maps

Food Not Bombs Global Chapter Locations (mostly vegan!)

USA - Find your local food bank

USA - Meals on Wheels free or reduced cost food delivery (age usually 60+, check your specific area's eligibility

When I was drunk one night and watching the Jellyfish livestream, I reached out to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with a dumb question about their jellyfish... And they actually emailed me back.

(yes, these are actually my own screenshots, I am in tears laughing)

DO YOUR ANIMAL EXPERTS HAVE TO UNTANGLE THE JELLYFISH

AND THE ANSWER IS FUCKING YES, THE JELLIES GET TANGLED SOMETIMES LMAO

going to the dispensary and asking for the weed that makes u feel good instead of bad and brave instead of scared and the budtender laughs and looks at the other guys who all laugh and they call u a pussy and say what u can't handle the normal stuff but u say yeah no im looking for weed that is pleasant to smoke on & the guy goes to the back and pulls out a small wooden box labeled "weed that makes you feel good and brave" and says congratulations....no one has ever asked for it before, u won. have it for free. so u go home and roll up a big smoke & smoke on it & suddenly the room starts spinning ur vision fades to black and ur head hits the ground. u open ur eyes and sit up, ur not on the couch anymore this isn't ur house. u realize u are on a big boat, a boat in the middle of a vast ocean, and u are completely alone. for the first time in ur life u are alone absolutely, absolutely alone, there is no land in sight and no birds in the sky. the endless black sky. but if it is night time why are there no stars?

Dealing with burnout is sooooooooooooooo easy all you need to do is operate at 40% indefinitely and be kind of mad at yourself the whole time.

I do love that you can see the influence of Tolkien meaning for Eowyn to die throughout her arc. That girl just screams "doomed by the narrative". She's set up for this grand yet tragic death, and wants for nothing else than a grand exit and a glorious end to all things.

But having her live is so much more interesting. And having her live to find happiness especially. She seems like a tragic character. She thinks herself a tragic character. She is overwhelmed by a sense of doom and helplessness. Her narrative is overwhelmed by a sense of doom and helplessness.

But she isn't doomed.

Turns out, decent healthcare, clued in and concerned family members, and a decent support base, go a long towards towards un-dooming her narrative.
