Unless the other guy is Hilary

Came here to say this. Pretty rich headline coming from the bootlickers at NYT.

[Feb 2024]

it’s like having a personal (and ethical) AI singer that sings whatever they want

God damn do I hate that we live in a time where a professional musician playing a gig is self described as ‘like AI but human’

I was skeptical that the missing stars and reversed eagle really meant anything.

Then I looked at the seal. The scroll in the eagle’s beak has the US’ Latin motto. E Pluribus Unum.

Huh.

That’s what I get for not reading my own link

‘banana for scale’ is 12 years old now

It does sound like you’re feeling overwhelmed. I’m glad you escaped from the religious community that felt so stifling.

Esoteric special interests are not an easy burden to bear. Keep looking and posting and I’m sure you’ll find like-minded folk who resonate on your wavelength.

From the title I thought this was going to have some kind of reference to Pluribus :) it’s a fun show even if it turned out unrelated to your biblical/numerological special interests. I hope you find the place and people you need to live your self-actualized life according to your beliefs.

During the night shift he could just lock out the turbolifts, flood the life support system with neurazine gas, and beam the crew into space for good measure. Five, ten minutes tops.

Grown ass men, fathers, husbands, captains of industry: these are (apparently!!!) just boys being boys who cannot be held accountable for their actions.

Teenage girls from poor homes? Minors, groomed and manipulated by the powerful with false promises and the complicity of trusted adults and authority figures? Those underage girls (APPARENTLY!!!) are the “adults” who are responsible for all the consequences of the actions those grown men take. They’re the only ones who can or should ever be held to account.

Make it make any goddamn motherfucking sense. Christ.

As a spiritual successor I greatly enjoyed the I Love Bees ARG. Its audio files effectively comprise a radio drama set in the Halo universe

What a dogshit take

Man I would love to read about a bunch of luigis mansion romhacking drama

Hey, please don’t hurt yourself. I know I’m a random stranger but whatever you’re going through I’m sorry it put you in this headspace

One of Goofy’s catchphrases is “Gawrsh!!” (‘Gosh’ with an accent)

No your meme makes no fucking sense. You are an idiot and I am blocking you, have a shitty day

I don’t think you’ve seen The Matrix

Setting boundaries is hard. Good job drawing the line. You’ll have days you don’t think about this or him at all. In the meantime I’m sorry this is happening, hang in there

This situation sucks. I’m sorry this is happening to you, nobody should have to deal with this.

I want to visit him badly. But I am panicking already just thinking about what to say or what to do.

If you want to visit, you should. You don’t need to say or do anything particular, just being there will mean so much to both of you. If you need something to say, I encourage you to 1. just tell him you love him, cry as much as you need to, and 2. listen to anything he wants to say to you now or anything he wants to ask you for. It’s not easy now but you will find peace and comfort later in knowing you visited him while you could.

being in a situation where I can get the call every day, every minute …

It definitely hits extra hard for neurodivergent folk to have a Big Shitty Uncertainty like that. It impedes… everything.

A small bit of good news is that it sucks for everyone when this happens-- losing family hurts-- so people at work, school, etc. should be understanding and give you some extra space/grace in this time. If you have anyone you’re comfortable reaching out to for help, or to ask for some wiggle room while you’re dealing with family health issues, reach out when you feel centered enough to. People will usually help and rally around you when you’re going through something like this.

I’m again so sorry you’re going through this. Remember to take care of yourself and if you can, keep some folks nearby who can send some care your way.
