Windows - "How 'bout I do... Anyways?" *Installs Updates I Just Explicitly Said NOT TO*

Seems that AWS, CloudFlare, and Google Cloud are getting smacked with issues atm

Anyways time to go back to No Man's Sky

Bruh WTF is going on with Trump rn I just heard he might be dead? I was hyperfixated on No Man's Sky the past three days o.o

Like, AI specifically? Yeah. Train it and sic it on the stuff that humans are bad at or don't wanna do. That AI that was super good at spotting cancer was neat, for instance.

Technology is so cool... I wish it could like, you know, be cool without all the fascistic police state nonsense or capitalism data harvesting. Even AI has the potential to be cool if we use it on the right things (NOT ART) and find a way to use it without killing the planet's ability to host us.

Hyper-Specific Reason I Hate Capitalism
I can eat a New York Strip steak made with beef raised in Australia... But I can't go there to bite my girlfriend who lives there. PLUS Capitalism incentivizes them to not let me live there because me being autistic means I'm just a burden to their taxpayers.

Genuinely makes me less anxious about turning 30 in a year or so.

OMG, this Ser Aymeric cosplay is amazing! The accuracy is uncanny... #ffxiv

Something I think is important and wish we seen more:
Bouncy physics for everyone!

rarely has there been a purer example of human progress created by someone repeatedly pressing a button labeled “DO NOT TOUCH”

All that being said, sometimes I'd be willing to trade all that knowledge to be a blissfully unaware bimbo. I dunno. I just think it must be nice occasionally.

Whenever I'm getting imposter syndrome over how smart I am, I can always turn to the morbid fact that unintelligent people don't look at the world around them and get incredibly depressed at how the world is run, and how we are capable of so much MORE. So much suffering could be entirely avoided...

Got the wrong symbol on that elephant, friend. Should be swastikas. Whoever made it originally must believe in "Horseshoe Theory..." 🙄

One of my favorite things on social media is transfems posting the word "boymoding" with a selfie that's literally just a cute girl/woman in jeans and a t-shirt.

I report people on TikTok telling trans people to die and they get no violation... But if I tell a trump supporter they've got his dick so far down their throat they look stupid, I'M breaking the community guidelines.

In spite of everything, though, I still miss my family. It sucks not being able to have that presence. While having some good, close friends and being in basically about as stable a polycule as you can imagine helps it's kinda it's own different thing. But I make do. 'Cos that's life.

Which I won't really be doing at this time... But I will say it was very much on the emotional manipulation and neglect end of things. Very fortunate to have the partners and friends I have now because they've really helped me get to a point I feel like I matter again and deserve to be happy.

Half-Brother was stepdad's own mini-me and what he wanted would supersede anything else in the world. Did mom just say no? Well, daddy most certainly wouldn't. Even if they came around to "accepting" my trans-ness the disfunctionality was way too much for me... And that's before I touch the abuse.

For the record, I'm not no-contact because they weren't accepting of me being trans... Even if their support was very much a "Too Little, Too Late" thing. Mom has the BPD and is the "Narcissist Victim" kinda person due to her ex husband, my dad. Sister was her perfect mini-me. Stepdad was a doormat.

Random Rambling but it's a... Mixed bag being no-contact with basically all of your family. Like it's super neat not having to deal with the bullshit you KNOW they aren't gonna stop... But like, family's kinda a big deal. I miss it sometimes. Even if you hate the gatherings they're still important.

kill la kill is made for evil perverted lesbians. it is a show for women. if that's not self evident to you, i suggest estrogen

What wingnuts think DEI is:
Less-Qualified Member of Social/Ethnic Minority gets job over More-Qualified Non-Minority by merit of being such.

What DEI actually is:
Equally-Qualified Job Candidates are Evaluated by said Qualifications, and the CEO's white niece doesn't just get handed the job.

If the stock markets crash on Monday I'm in favor of calling it "MAGAgeddon." Gotta make sure blame is in the right place, yeah?

Comic, two panels Panel 1: Robin speaking on her phone, clearly distressed, tears in her eyes: "I'm telling you that I'm scared. These people-- the kind of people you vote for-- want to take my health care, my rights away from me. I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave my home." The voice from the phone answers: "Well," Large dialogue text in a large white space between panels: "I just don't think that's going to happen." Panel 2: Robin, wide eyes still tearing up, stares in disbelief at her phone.

Her gaze has shifted outside the window, her expression is now bitter, with tears gathering in her eyes.

"I just don't think that's going to happen."

Probably the biggest critique I have for Dawntrail isn't even for the MSQ or writing (and also doesn't even impact me since I engage in hardcore content): A content drought for anyone who ISN'T a hardcore player. Post-Release all we've gotten is Savage, Jeuno, and the Chaotic Alliance Raid.

Us taking a backseat to foster new heroes and new talent makes a lot of sense, to be honest. So this whole "Babysitter of Light" shtick? Miss me with it. Dawntrail had its issues but they were a lot smaller than everyone seems to make them out to be.
