Last Notes npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I understand that not everyone has the opportunity or the resources to get the help they need, but if you *can* get help and you're making excuses not to that aren't related to your personal safety... you're literally just choosing to continue to suffer because it scares you less than the uncertainty of healing. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…d6ag Oh wow. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: The problem with the assumption that there would always be "adults in the room" to stop the fundies from pulling their horrifically stupid "immanentize the eschaton" bullshit is that the ACTUAL ADULTS... IN THE ROOM... when those assumptions were made... sat idly by while education standards were systematically dismantled over the subsequent decades... ensuring that in this moment, no, there are *not* any adults in the room, actually. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Making tech my career was a mistake. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Far too much of geopolitics boils down to "I started on an advantageous set of hexes, and I think that should give me an advantage *forever.*" npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…d0yj The fact that the system allows and then *encourages* folks to check out is the whole reason we're here. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I cast my first vote in 1998, and every vote since then seems to matter less and less to the overall outcome. I still scorn the folks who refuse to show up, but I can sure understand how they got that way. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: TMW you realize you're so anxious about social rejection that you're asking friends for reviews of your interactions so you can improve. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Something to consider: once you and your friends reach your 40s, the odds that those of us who steadfastly refuse to address our weaknesses are going to have an epiphany that will be *listened to* dwindles dramatically. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Hey journos: npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: The belated realization that my childhood fascination with mimicry and imitation was a survival tactic for living in a world that refused to provide rules that played the same as they were written. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: There is no tent big enough to provide cover for hatred. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Swooned over 23andme, ended up very grateful I never followed through on my interest with a purchase. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Welp. They just unilaterally nuked my spouse's WFH arrangements, effective next week. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…4vdp True facts. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: FF Tactics Remaster is 10.4 GB on PC. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: What I don't understand is how folks could continually vote *for* the very same caricatures they've seen as the villain in media for a century. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I have named a fictional nightclub "Allegory of the Rave," and I hope Plato's ghost trips the light fantastic there. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Sick of being sick. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: COVID is still out there. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Me, at 18, 28, and 38: "All the road networks in the cities I draw look artificial. Human cities don't look like this. What am I missing?" npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Long form video. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I don't want 10% of Intel. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: It occurs to me that the Bullshit Engine wouldn't be nearly as popular if our day to day lives didn't require so much bullshit just to get by. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Theo Huxtable was the first time I saw "my future self" on television as a kid, the first aspirational character that wasn't a superhero or an astronaut or something exclusive or rarified. Just a middle-class Black kid growing up like I was, trying to do his best. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Weird how the folks who are so preoccupied with whether we properly fear the chance of Hell after death are also committed to creating Hell on Earth. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…fle4 Does that counter ever hit double digits? npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Another war none of us wanted. Another morning where we wake up less safe. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: It disgusts me how every time there is a protest the media fixation is on damage to commercial property instead of, y'know, what the people are angry about. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…7vxc But floats are untrustworthy gremlins. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Happy Pride to everyone... npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Change your Steam password. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: You don't need a reason to help people. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…sa3n Getting tired of "winning," Doc. I'd really like them to stop dragging USian science into a dark age. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Like, what these buffoons don't seem to realize is that while they're pumping-and-dumping with their tariff grift, they're also showing every business that has the option to *not* do business in the US that they now have a good reason to stop doing so. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: That screeching you hear is every tech company of sufficient size slamming the brakes on any and all US based infrastructure plans. Datacenter leases, equipment purchasing, expansion planning… it's *all* on hold. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I find myself missing the Pinterest of antiquity, before the rampant enshittification took hold. Is there a self-hosted Pinterest-alike, or perhaps a Fediverse analogue? npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…d6h6 I have this same issue, where if I talk about what I'm working on then there's a high chance I will abandon it in favor of something else soon. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: The "freedom isn't free" people sure sold it off for nothing. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: Austerity's only purpose is to solidify the primacy of the rich at times when they feel most threatened. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: When AAA video games cost so much to make, it's mystifying how so many *bad* games get greenlit. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: It’s deeply, heartbreakingly ironic that after all the post 2001-09-11 rhetoric about “letting the terrorists win,” that’s exactly what the folks harping about it went and did. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: @nprofile…tw7d Oh, I will talk about it *while* doing it. At length. Enthusiastically. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I would like to find whichever simulation engineer decided that some of our brains will yield the same amount of chemical reward for *talking about* doing a thing as it does for actually doing it... and I would like to punch them in the face repeatedly for the rest of time. npub1xcztdpuvn7spxgk9q34742fp5vtug6dctmjulv2rrnuzd0ah4qmsxrld6d The Duke of Fall :d12: I did not call John Fetterman becoming the next Joe Lieberman, but I suppose there always needs to be a Lucy to yank the ball from in front the Dems' Charlie Brown.
