Was told over and over again that AI is so good at coding that it was replacing people already so when I tried to get it to write an algorithm for the most efficient way to smith in terrafirmacraft, it gave me this bullshit.

I never truly appreciated how close I got to killing my self horribly as a dumbass middle school kid. I saw so much media on people stealing drugs from the bathroom that I wanted to try it. We only really had Tylenol Extra Strength, and other simple OTC meds. Not deterred, I went and downed probably 8-10 of the 500mg pills and stopped because I couldn’t swallow any more. Got super tired and fell asleep on the couch for a few hours. Can’t imagine if I had something like this that also had alcohol in it that I wouldn’t have tried to chug it instead. Kids are dumb and they’ll do shit nobody expects and tell nobody about it for fear of consequence.

I’ve considered trying to leave the US and I’ve looked into the process, but the limiting factor for me is leaving behind family.

COVID is also doing some heavy lifting on that part

I remember being obsessed with the show when I was in my late teens. On one hand they convinced me in a single episode that pot should be legal and that lawns are a scourge on the world. The dolphin episode was an experience. But the anti environmental ones did put some brainworms in that took some work to get out. Doesn’t help that they were somewhat right in that recycling is sold as a cure when in reality a lot of recycling just doesn’t work as advertised.

I mean Optum is a pretty unsecret thing in nursing homes. I think we’ve been through like 12 nurse practitioners over the last year and a half I’ve been working at a nursing home. We’re told that if they’re an Optum patient they need to be managed by them, but a solid amount of the time we’re just going to the primary provider because they’re nowhere to be seen because their entire local network is a shitshow. I also know they seem really averse to starting hospice or even having that conversation. I know they’re super big about preventing hospitalization and treating in place, but I feel like if I just outright disagreed with a call made I could just speak to the primary provider or if I’m really concerned, override the NP, especially if they’re not present in the building.

The examples they give of stroke like symptoms, if I’m on the unit and they clearly are having a stroke, I’ve already called 911 before I’m calling the provider to ask for orders. Unless they have a history of TIA I’d assume stroke and deal with the back and forth.

In the end there is that little nag from Optum asking you to call before a hospitalization, but there’s also a level of nursing judgement that needs to exist with that thought towards patient health rather than an insurance company’s nagging.

I’ve fallen and I can’t get up

I always interpreted it as literally the exact same shit with a different coat of paint, the only differences between them literally are just the aesthetics.

I like Nimi Nightmare, she’s nice and chill, , and just some comfy vibes.

Nyanners - she’s a gremlin, not awful, just a cringe streamer.

Trey The Explainer - good quality highly informational videos about anthropology, archaeology, and paleontology.

How is it possible Marty ate more than Luis? Marty ate 800g of pizza out of 1200g, Luis ate 500g out of 600g. 800g > 500g thus Marty ate more pizza. Unless we’re working on Umineko rules where unless it’s purple it’s not an absolute statement, it’s coming off as if it’s a definitive statement and not part of the question. The question needs to be rewritten to state that the pizzas are the same size and to change “how is that possible?” to “Is that possible?”

They’re already queuing it up

I used Facebook back around 2009 when I felt obligated to do so to keep up with friends from school, and then I came out as trans and basically nuked my social circle. While I’m friendly with people at work and I’d call them work friends, every time I’ve really tried to bridge the gap from work to personal it’s fizzled out primarily because I don’t use social media and I’m fine with that. I like having a small handful of people I really like and trust. Some of my best friendships formed away from social media, on the remnants of internet 1.0. This guy’s idea of the future of friendship means just alienating you more from the people directly in your life and pushing you towards a walled garden of his creation where you only talk to “people” he wants you to who will make you just happy enough to stay hooked but not satisfied so you have to come back.

I was looking for a youtube thumbnail I saw a few weeks ago that was an AI remake of the overly attached girlfriend but it just super uncanny and I hated looking at it, but while I was looking youtube decided to send me in a different direction and honestly I’m still rather disturbed.

Had a coworker sorta go off today talking about he finally saw the light and renounced his false doctrine which is why he finally died in the light of god. Honestly don’t even want to approach those brain worms.

It’s an interesting read that gives me a bit more framework to describe stuff I’ve experienced since I was a child. Like I remember when I was a kid getting a thought of “what if I push my grandmother down the stairs” when we were standing on an elevated patio and I got so freaked out about it that it just still stands out to me over 2 decades later.

Saw this pop up at work today and thought it was a bit too on the nose for a parody
