“Up to the Twentieth Century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear. Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one-millionth of reality.” -Bucky Fuller
Gonna vent some. Long week, it’s not Friday yet, stupid coworkers, stupid customers, managers who don’t care about standard operating procedure, ahhh.
A man was not meant to sit in front of a computer monitor for nine hours a day.
Update: thank goodness I have the ability to take a bath. I was whining earlier, but I am very privileged. This is my affirmation.
I remember my mom always getting Sharks, but they seemed to always fail after a couple of years.
This breaks my fucking heart.
I was in and out of children’s hospitals from birth to legal adulthood. The fact that these children and their parents are being forced to feel fear, hopelessness, rage, on top of all the fear and stress they must feel, just fucking God dammit I don’t know how I’m supposed to stop drinking in 2024 man God Almighty

My wife and ai keep talking about this. We plan to flee our deep south red state, but it fills us with survivor’s guilt knowing we have the means to do so, and so so many just do not.
Will watch later, but can you briefly summarize so wife and I aren’t freaking out until then? :(
BRB, loading my shotgun with birdshot.
Hm I need a shotgun.
Thank you ❤ these comments are really helping me through a rough time, and I am so grateful.
I have no doubts about that either, myself. Though even if such an abomination of a doppelganger were to exist, and it seems that these companies are hellbent on making it so, it would be worse for the reasons you described previously: prolonging and molesting the grieving process that human beings have evolved to go through. All in the name of a dollar. I apologize for being so bitter about this (this bitterness is not directed at you, frog), but this entire "AI’ phenomenon fucking disgusts and repulses me so much I want to scream.
We have a box of old recipe cards from my grandmother that my wife cherishes. My parents gifted them to her because out of all their daughter-in-laws, she is the one that loves to cook and explore recipes the most. I just can’t imagine someone wanting something like that in a sterile technological aspect like an “AI-powered” app.
“But Trev, what if you used an LLM to generate summaries-” no, fuck off (he said to the hypothetical techbro in his ear).
Thanks coy, I really do appreciate you taking the time to send some kindness my way. And that’s true, it does get easier but it never really goes away, nor should it I guess. You’re good people <3
This really did help, thank you so much for your kindness. Your feelings are just as valid friend, and I hope you can take solace in hearing that from someone else, just as I did <3 We’re gonna make it.
It’s okay. Had another dream where my mom inexplicably comes back from the dead. She even joked about how we’d have to reevaluate how we think of the situation. It’s wild how going back to sleep before my alarm can just ruin the rest of my week. There’s a lump in my throat that just won’t go away. I feel guilty writing these thoughts out, hell I’m tearing up now because I know so many other people have real problems and there’s this fucking election, and my wife’s work is so much more difficult than mine and I haven’t a leg to complain upon.

I wish
to beat my fists against this desk
until they are bruised and bloody
for that is something
I may yet control
Thank you for allowing me to vent. Much love to you all.
<3 all the good vibes to you and sweet little Ziggy. You are not useless.
He was always Dr. Eggman in Japanese, they just localized it to Dr. Eggman because Murca.
Here you go, it’s part of an illustrated series based off a writing prompt :)
I voted for Bernie twice, in the 2016 primaries and again in the 2020 primaries. I donated a few hundred bucks as well. After he lost, I voted for the candidate he endorsed, because in my view, the candidate he endorsed would get us closer to the ideals he espoused, and certainly not the GOP. That is why it’s mind-boggling.
If he had to bite down on the rag
Sexist and uncalled for. Do better.
It’s mind-boggling to hear people cry foul about Bernie Sanders when the man himself has endorsed Biden and is actively helping him campaign.
That’s a Peanut! Thank you so much, the 50mm and auto focus did all the work. I just saw the yawn!
I’m so happy and so so proud for you RadioRat!!! I know how difficult it is to take that first step, and I am so happy to read that you’re feeling joy ❤️
