  • It’s the gross stomach noise that does it for me. Like Henry shapeshifts his stomach directly against both eardrums.

    I get it, bro. You’re a bitch that can’t even function on a meal every 48 hrs. Help yourself to this massive pot of available stew but stop at half full and refuse to eat more.

    You know what? Maybe I like GNOME after all.

    The Scott Manley video is great.

    He slows it down and you get to see the exact moment Bezos practically nuked a launchpad, with nothing more to say but “anomaly”.

    Yes, he can easily financially absorb it. But the damage he caused hopefully has repercussions on billionaire space exploration being regulated like any other public space agency.



  • There is something to be said for unionising on a micro level. A team of 3 or 4 can make much more ground than organising 1000 workers. Always look for that opportunity by getting deep and essential. Never let them know it’s coming and always have an idiot boss to deflect to so they canabalise each other.

    Done well, you get deeper by “saving the day” or whatever.



  • Nah, these are Gen A studies and pre school. But it’s giving insight into tailend Z. Also giving insight to older generations failing in attention-span and critical thought/attention. Like self-induced cognitive stagnation. Oversaturation of mental disorder diagnosis due to their broadening grey area, but sleep deprivation, favouring dopamine over the other “happy” releases. Especially in males that have less biological releases of oxytocin.

    Ugh, that didn’t even make sense to me reading it back. I’ll try find a public breakdown of one but it means I gotta… deeo hreath… search engine “scientific sources”…

    Edit: Nope. Clickticles of opinionated bullshit and one public paper that’s had 138 citations in under a year. Which would be great if academia worked that well in its sharing of knowledge, but it’s suspiciously too many.

    Heh. My Linux started with Ubuntu like many others. I appreciated GNOME.

    Then I got confident enough to distro hop and with that cam DE hop. Can’t deny KCD is just so much better for the kind of user I am.

    It’s just kinda nice having your computer do what you want it to do, ya know?


  • Studies have been done that it can be reversed and cogniviry is dorment, but requires a few weeks of “cold turkey”.

    Sorry, I wish I could give more but I’m kind of drunk and can’t be bothered finding papers outside the stupid academia paywall shit.

    But the main concern is actually the culture. Like, you can get off heroin, but not if heroin is the norm for everyone around you in your immediate social groups. Then after that, obviously the catch up of a 13 or 14 year old mind already outside of the peak of learning or “impressionable” period typically under 7. E.g. it’s easier to teach a child two languages than a teen or adultnfor that reason.

    Gonna be a hell of a time to be the elderly generation needing community assistance from the younger generation.

    Controversial, but I much prefer suicide happy at 75 than make it to 85-90 in a situation worse than current aged care



  • I’m in the fortunate position where boss people are impressed by how much work I do to help the others struggling with having bad bosses.

    It pays well but plateaus as you start running out of bosses to defeat. Then you get in this awkward situation where everyone a tier below the c-suite wants you, but don’t understand that you aren’t up for sale in their game.

    Been in NFP for a decade and people are still the same. But in NFP you get the leftovers that were never smart enough to be touched for a corporate role. Their idiocy cascades down to a workforce of 15,000 people that have to endure it; people that signed up to help others.

    So, that’s my job. Fuck the money—40% of my paycheck is donated—and my time is spent being real good at helping others by showing up the overpaid morons that make life hard. And surfing. And trains. And birdwatching and trees.

    I’m intoxicated an am oversharing. o7

    Fuck bosses. They’re so useless, weak, and easy to defeat. All you gotta do is break their “network” with logic, and if that fails, a unionised force.

    I somehow started rambling again…
