KillingTimeItself

I don’t understand what’s wrong with our electorate.

brain damage im pretty sure.

I don’t know what his next move is, but I have to think he’s feeling a bit desperate.

his only move is cutting spending (actually) raising taxes, and running a surplus. That and maybe dont be such a fucking dumbass.

most of these people arent media personalities, they’ve never had to deal with this before.

putin is still in power, so…

revolutions only come from suffering.

People need to suffer to the point they are willing to potentially lose it all, people have families, they have friends, they have careers and jobs, people need to physically care first.

For some reason nobody understands this today.

that’s true, but i would prefer they be upfront about it. If you’re advertising something, and i’m not getting it, that’s not great advertising.

If you’re telling me i get unlimited bandwidth on a 1gb connection, and you don’t give me that exact thing in return, it’s false advertising. Soft limit it if you want, just be honest about it. The solution here is a bandwidth limited plan, and one that isn’t.

yeah, it’s literally just an abstraction of something that you understand enough to be able to cope with that adaptation.

the ability to visualize something is really useful when you don’t fully understand it, because it gives you more leverage.

that sounds wacky as fuck.

Guess i’ll have to do some looking to see about how we’re determining illiteracy these days.

Them calling it “unlimited” when there’s a limit is wrong, but so is using all of the available upload bandwidth 100% of the time on a cheap home VPN service when you consider the current market prices for data transfer. Mine’s limited to 2Mbps. Seems fair for $7/month or whatever it is.

they shouldn’t make it unlimited them, skill issue on their part.

If you’re selling me 1Gb networking speeds, with no bandwidth limit, it’s not my fault for using all of it lol. I’m just using what i pay for.

if somebody does a little torrenting you can just hand wave it, but if someone is doing all of the torrenting, you pretty clearly know about it.

sentences in foreign languages are complete gibberish to me, unless i partly know how the grammar structure and language works, but that’s also sort of automatic at that point, if i wanted to actually comprehend it, yeah i would have to put work into it, but that’s literally me translating the sentence at that point lol.

no, it’s just an example of something that would be considered both cruel, and unusual punishment, to provide a sufficient example.

You can’t just look at something like nitrogen gassing and go “its cruel because it’s killing someone, and also unusual because it isn’t utilized often” It has to be literally cruel, as in, you shouldn’t do it period (general US laws would forbid it kind of a thing) and unusual in the sense that you would literally never do it.

they just didn’t shoot him enough

dear big tech companies, please continue doing it, i want more people to use linux.

being aloof or absent minded isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s just a different type of engagement with the world, would it be nice if we didn’t forget shit the second object permanence stops applying? Yeah, can we work around it, also yeah.

it’s weird for me, i have ADHD traits, and also explicitly non ADHD traits, i think it’s probably comorbidity with something else rather than explicitly ADHD. But that’s neurology for you, sometimes it’s clear, sometimes it’s not, sometimes it makes no fucking sense.

I can stare at a wall just fine, but depending on what i’m doing, i need a certain minimum amount of stimulation, and just doing things feels so good.

oh its to do with dopamine, well that explains why i never got addicted to porn lmao…

For anybody wondering, my brain neurology is fucked inexplicably for some reason, i can’t process emotion correctly, and i generally don’t experience them either.

i can build concepts in my head, without words or images. And just put them down, ofc i fumble a bit, because i’m not perfect, but i intuitively and innately understand concepts. Just based on my experience with that particular thing, much like an LLM can spit out actual real grammar and words that make actual real sense when you ask it to.

(Subtitles in the same language as the audio are maddening, because I can’t not read them, and then have to wait so long for the speech to catch up.)

actually this, but it goes both ways, spoken voice and written text can go fuck itself, and subtitles on spoken words can go fuck itself. Actual comprehension hell.

reading you can sort of mentally supplant. It’s really weird, but i’m very immersed into reading, like i comprehend the world building, and the writing, and the characters, and all the interactions, i can feel the environment. I can’t see anything, or hear anything, but i know what it looks like (at least i think) and i know what it sounds like.

Think about it as if it’s a dream, and it starts to make more sense, it’s just like a conscious dream, spurred by really good story telling.
