Some of All, All of None

This blog mostly consists of peotry and other things I write. The elemental musings were written mostly for fun but can be used as incantations for LARPing or otherwise.

You guys need to see this because my brain has decided "have you heard of seventy dollars??" is a widely known meme I can reference regularly (it is not)

Friend groups in the movies: Unshakably united by shared traumas, secret handshakes, and reminiscence of better days.

Friend groups in real life: Unshakably united by cryptic references to that one time one of you managed to mispronounce the word "shrimp".

i love that 17th century jewish poltergeist story where the family living in the haunted house calls a catholic priest for help before they contact a rabbi, because yeah, i think that would be my call too; id be like, oh? a demon in my house speaking latin and drawing inverted crosses on my wall in sulfuric bile? then without even questioning my faith i’d call up the catholic church and be like yo father, one of your boys loose come get him

Every time someone couches a reactionary argument in a line like "This is a truth that has been universally recognized throughout history; only modern society denies it", the response should be, "Yes, three cheers for modern science for freeing us all from naive superstitions! Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray!"

Just updating to say that I'm really glad anaesthetics exist and I don't need to go into surgery biting a bullet, or being hypnotized, or passed-out drunk on rum

Yeah, it's kind of funny that a lot of companies are now re-hiring junior programmers to save on LLM credits, but it's not surprising. From a pure line-goes-up perspective, working people to death is almost always better than automation. That isn't an indictment of LLMs in particular – it's just how this shit works.

[prokopetz]

Like, yeah, joke about the "self-driving car" service that turned out to be employing remote drivers in the Philippines if you want, but it's not only a tech grift; the fact of the matter is that even if the technology was there, making that guy in the Philippines pull sixteen-hour shifts with no bathroom breaks until he dies of a bladder infection is almost certainly cheaper than "real" AI would be, and that's the actual reason they do it. They wouldn't deliver on their promises even if they could.

Yeah well you go to church every Sunday and pretend to be a good person

Trying out cold brew coffee and filling my giant travel mug 3:2 coffee and ice & milk turns out to be a great way to be attentive and productive in the office for most of the morning and then jittery and high-strung until you've started metabolizing lunch.

[st-just]

Got ambitious and mixed in small dashes of cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla and cayenne with the grounds before pouring over the water this time and the result really is utterly delicious.

ponders jack slash

i think sometimes for a moment he feels the deep emptiness inside him, and thinks about how he's basically stuck being this parody of himself until he dies.

then he shrugs and goes back to stabbing someone to death because what else can you do? it's his nature, so he says. there was never any other way things were gonna go

Look, I see what you're saying, but I swear I was irresponsibly handing out magical artifacts of world-shaking power entirely at random. The fact that they all ended up going to photogenic orphans between the ages of twelve and seventeen was just a weird coincidence.

[al3xand3r245]

Fact: Slaughterhouse nine raided Brockton Bay sometime in the 90’s.

Another Fact: Jack was born in 1975, meaning he was 16 in 1991. A minor.

Another Fact: Jack attempted to ‘break’ Marquis by forcing him to break his code.

Another Fact: Marquis code included not killing children.

Another Fact: While i’m hesitant to armchair diagnose him, Jack would delight in claiming he has Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Therefore; It is perfectly reasonable to assume that one way Jack attempted to make Marquis break his code, is by taunting him into trying to kill him, only to the point out ‘i’m literally neurodivergent and a minor’. Since Marquis refused to break his code, this worked.

Look, I'm not gonna tell anybody else how to do their business, but I will observe that it's less than optimal how many folks in my extended circles I see excitedly announcing that their new indie tabletop RPG is out and completely failing to specify where to obtain it.

[prokopetz]

I fully recognise that this is your gig, not mine; however, supposing purely for the sake of argument that you are hoping this undertaking will provide a supplementary income stream, it's probably not optimal if I have to play Sherlock Fucking Holmes to figure out how to give you money for it.
