Last Notes npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol I seem to be really really good at misunderstanding people. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Oh, hey, Hakeem Jefferies can be contacted directly. https://jeffries.house.gov/contact/ It may be a good time to reach out to him directly to inform him that NOT pursuing justice is an abdication of their responsibilities and a violation of their respective oaths of office. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Just got an email from a "virtual assistant" informing me that the resume I sent them 15 years ago is a match. The offered pay is only about 2/3 what the job should pay. And because it's from 15 years ago, it's the wrong country. On the one hand, I'd like to connect just to fuck with it and burn as many tokens as I can. On the other I don't want to engage with it at all because it's destroying the environment. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol "Google just admitted that they're spying on your emails" ... Does it really matter if someone admits to something that you already knew to be true? npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol If you sift through all of the whiny bullshit you'll find that sometimes I post gold. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Some of you will feel these. And explains Soooo much for me. #ActuallyAutistic 7 Signs an Autistic Person Really Loves You https://youtu.be/du_InR31V1A npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol This is old, I'm sure a lot of you have seen it before, but I absolutely adore it. It's only about a minute long. https://youtu.be/9Xd8xq06FCw @nprofile…lxja I have to remind myself that there are good things. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol I think the only reason that my feed is full of PHP stuff is because all of the other "news" isn't really new. "Putin is working with Trump" "Trump is working for Putin" "Elon Musk is a fascist" "Gaming company that bet everything on AI is collapsing" which is all shit that everyone already knows. PHP flaw? Well that's "new"...ish...I guess. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol #ActuallyAutistic #Autism I'm not sure if this guy is problematic or not, but I've watched a couple of videos and they seemed pretty spot on. And funny. And entertaining. You know. All of the things that you would want when someone is telling you things that you already know. https://www.youtube.com/@Auticate/videos npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol I really enjoyed the movie "Big Trouble in Little China" as a kid, and I generally watch it every couple of years or so. I have not watched it yet this year, but I'm getting the itch, so probably at some point before Christmas. And I'm looking forward to it because there was something that "clicked" for me the last time that I watched it, and I want to make sure that it bears out. Also, and I can't stress this enough, I'm not a "movie guy". I'm not the guy that can tell you which directors did what movies and how they developed their skills and honed their abilities to tie shit together and all of that stuff. I'm just a guy. That means that my theory or whatever, *might* actually be considered "common knowledge", so like, there's no need to run me through the wringer for it. If you know and you can confirm or dispute, just be nice about it, please. --- Anyway, the last time I watched it I mentioned that I had watched it to a friend who said something like, "I hate that movie. It's so uneven. There are funny parts, and serious parts, and sometimes Jack is a hero and sometimes he's a buffoon." And I thought about it a bit and I had what, to me, was a revelation of sorts. The movie starts with Egg Shen, talking to the cops, following events. The entire movie is Egg Shen's retelling. Which means that the parts of the movie that don't have Egg Shen in them, he had to have heard that part of the story from somebody else. And he holds differing levels of trust with each person. So, for scenes that ONLY contain Jack, Jack had to have filled in Egg Shen on the details, and of course Jack is going to make himself out to be a hero. The coolest guy in the room. Then there's Jack's friend Wang. Egg Shen trusts Wang because they're part of the same community. They know each other well enough. But Wang is really good friends with Jack. He will *also* make jack out to be somewhat of a hero, when he's not making himself the hero. Any scenes in the movie that have Wang in them are trusted over pretty much everything else. But sometimes, Wang wasn't there to witness events either. Eddie, another family friend, has a couple of scenes where *his* take is going to be trusted more than anyone else's, but he's not in a whole lot of scenes (IIRC). These parts of the story are told with a lot of exposition, but not a lot of judgement. Everyone else in the scene is "normal"...just people talking about shit without a lot of "spin". Gracie Law is smart, but she's a reporter. She isn't going to be super well trusted (this is suggested when they all get back to Wang's place and are arguing over who kidnapped his girlfriend). Nobody really likes her, but they aren't outright hostile. They don't seem to have many trust issues with her...so in the scenes where it's basically just her and Jack (who she thinks is rather ridiculous), he's a buffoon. NOT because he's actually a buffoon, mind you (though he might be), but because SHE thinks that he's a buffoon and she's filling in those gaps for Egg Shen. Margo doesn't have "reporter" baggage and seems to actually be friends with the family. Like Eddie, scenes that have her as the primary witness are just...exposition. Everyone's just a normal person. --- So that's pretty much it, without watching it again I won't know how well it holds up (though I am eager, I want to do it at a time when I can focus on the movie and not be distracted by a bunch of other shit). Like I said, this may not be "new" to anyone. For all I know this is what was intended and talked about and people smarter than me probably spotted it straightaway. But I'm still curious. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Huh. That might be a record. 14 notifications because one person edited a post one time. Possible that it was edited twice back to back, because that's what I'm inclined to do as well. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol #RokMusic Steve Miller Band - Take the Money and Run https://youtu.be/wIE5wwvicew npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol The car is cursed. I have no better explanation. New starter did not work...my mechanic is gonna think about and see if he comes up with a better explanation. Starting over is always hard. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol i really need to start carving out time for playing music again. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol It occurs to me that my dad's mean voice in my head has been replaced by my ex's. This is not an improvement. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Funny. Change AI to SI and all you've done is change the part that wasn't an actual lie. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Ok, two questions. What sort of fucked up cooking gyrations must a person go through where three bowls of porridge will exist at the same time and place with wildly varying temperatures? Also: Goldilocks *HAD* to have just been waiting outside for whatever emergency caused the bears to leave their house in a hurry, for her to even find one bowl that was still "too hot". The whole thing sounds suspicious, like maybe Goldilocks orchestrated their absence specifically to steal their food. #ImportantQuestions npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Ah. You're sympathetic to AI in code *and* you have a post about defending meta's glasses? Easy. Fucking. Block. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol The goose has broken containment and is no longer valued. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…q3ux can be blamed for this (in a good way, it's something I probably need to talk about) Anyone that watched the Mad Max movies as many times as I did growing up will recognize this scene: https://youtu.be/2ySfNcF03mw "So what's the plan?" "Plan? Ain't no plan!" I used to have a plan. Hell, I used to have a LOT of plans. Planned to work. Planned to improve. Planned to learn. Planned to have fun. Planned to live a long happy life and die late, hopefully with few regrets. A bit more than ten years ago my health started failing. I didn't know why. All I knew is that my capacity was suffering a LOT. My doctors kept telling me it was just "getting older", but my peers - people that had similar habits and of a similar age - did not seem to have similar experiences. By 2017 it was becoming pretty clear to me that working at 120% for the next 30 years wasn't in the cards. I could barely make it through my 9 hour workday, and by the end of it I had literally nothing left in the tank for "fun" stuff like doing chores or making improvements. My body was failing. My brain was a lot fuzzier. I was getting more frustrated and more angry at little things. It was not going well. So, my ex (at the time my wife) and I started...well...planning. I *say* my ex, but most of the planning was mine. I "solved" for everything that I was able to. Her son didn't want me planning for him, so I didn't, but my plans included him should he change his mind. WE had planned to move to Europe, where we could afford to live. Where we could afford a home that we owned. Where we could afford to not retire, because it wasn't looking like retirement was ever going to be an option for me. By 2021 we had settled on France. We had a plan to move to Europe and keep working. I had a plan to go back to University to get some sort of a music degree - something that I would *enjoy*. By 2022 we had bought our house. By 2023 we had agreed to divorce (so much for the plan). By 2024 I'd had my heart attack. (I may be confusing some of the events/years here...I can't be arsed to look it all up right now). Anyway, the short version (too late) is that every plan went out of the window. I now have a chronic health condition and since my ex isn't moving to France, I have to find a path forward that doesn't rely on her experience and employment. That means coming up with my own plan. So my "plan", for what it is, is instead of doing something fulfilling in music, I'm trying to do something practical in engineering. That should be useful in my real life as well as to find a job, and more importantly, it will allow me to stay in France long enough to (maybe) get Residency status. For at least the last five years, there ain't been no plan other than taking care of the "next step". MOST of those plans haven't gone as quickly as I would have liked, nor as smoothly. And because of that, I literally *can't* plan more than one step ahead. If I tried, for example, to start setting up schooling before I have a car...well then what? I'm enrolled but have no way to get to class? And, of course, I'm doing it alone. My ex isn't here to help. Her son isn't here to help. SHE treats it like I'm on a vacation, but I'm literally scratching as much cash as I can (under the table, because it's not legal for me to work here) to make ends meet so that I don't have to dip into savings too much. I have a bit of money to live on. That is paying my real bills (insurance, electric, phone, etc) and car repairs, and will be used for my education (which is thankfully affordable here. I shouldn't need to get loans). I have a small number of Amazon stocks left over from when I worked there, which I will be drawing out this December/January *just* to try to make things last a little bit longer. If I'm not able to secure a Student Visa, I'm pretty well fucked. All of my stuff is in my house in France, and I'll need to leave France for at least 90 days before I can come back again. That means the US, because I literally have nobody else that I can stay with outside of Europe. I can't afford an apartment or temporary housing for 90 days anywhere else. There are "some" options. I can get a caravan and tool around like...Romania or somewhere. But these are not optimal options. So...ain't no plan. Ain't no plan at all. If anyone is wondering why I'm always so depressed, or stressed, or anxious, it's because I am burning every little bit of privilege that I have (which isn't a whole lot) to try to get to a "life" space that's stable. Maybe I'll get there. Maybe I won't. But it's entirely likely that I will end up dying trying to do it. Retirement? That's for other people. Chronic health issues notwithstanding, I simply haven't got any other options right now. And it doesn't help that I don't have a lot to look forward to. Like, literally if I wasn't putting one foot in front of the other I would absolutely have no reason to keep trying. As stupid of a reason as "left foot, right foot" is, it's a fucking reason, and I have to cling to it. I wish I could plan. I wish I had the capacity and the option of planning. But right now? It's just the "next step". Sure...I can *dream* about a different life. And there could be opportunities right around the corner, and I'm keeping my eyes open for them. But still: Ain't no fucking plan. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Ten Years After - I'd Like to Change the World https://youtu.be/qUGE8Y07-2k #RokMusic npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…pfuj Creatures of habit maybe?

He wanted a social media spot where he could control the narrative...I don't think he understood much beyond that. Liberals seem to think that actual truth will carry the day.

The problem is anhedonia. I do not enjoy things. Even "fun" things. Even things that might make me smile, it is brief and passes all too quickly. It has been this way for quite some time.

Two years ago 30+% of the American public actively voted for the worst kind of bigot. And for at least a different 30+%, the bigotry wasn't any sort of a motivational factor in voting against it. So seeing all of these polls and interviews about "trumpists are full of regret" sounds like a whole bunch of hogwash to me. MOST of the public is awful, either because they choose to be or at least because they don't choose *not* to be. Democrats have an uphill battle and it seems like they're not taking it the slightest bit seriously. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Everyone's showing so much excitement for the future, but Platner is evidence that there are young nazis to replace the ones that die of old age. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…lxja Sounds like she's on the prowl lol npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…0zw6 I have a theory, but it's not founded on anything more than observations of history.

If you are a member of a privileged class, and someone is complaining about that class, just...you know...shut the fuck up. If you disagree or want to defend yourself because it doesn't apply to you, shut the fuck up more. And faster. If you must say anything, it should be full throated agreement, but maybe just shut the fuck up. It isn't about you until you make it about you. So...shut. the. fuck. up.

Off to bed. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/847/364/142/033/569/original/02f2d1fe1821a2a5.webp npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Sorry, Canadians, but "poutine" sounds dirty. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol I wonder how fascisty things will get before the general public starts noticing how fascisty it is? npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…l7em Is there a donation link handy? @nprofile…czrc @nprofile…50rf @nprofile…0cqh @nprofile…nkk5 @nprofile…mglt @nprofile…ch3z @nprofile…30yh @nprofile…rh5d @nprofile…rtua @nprofile…g77y @nprofile…8yut @nprofile…0mhv @nprofile…jdq3 @nprofile…f95k @nprofile…28zq @nprofile…vdqp @nprofile…tgvl @nprofile…8yex @nprofile…8vfh npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol I know the point is to exhaust us until we'll put up with anything and suffer any injustice. And knowing that...I'm fucking exhausted. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol Real talk for my European friends: Learn about places that are hotter (and colder) than what you're used to. Climate change is going to make every summer and every winter significantly worse, and learning about how people in areas that are hotter/colder cope with the weather is going to become even more important as time goes on. It is "too late" to FIX what is happening. It will take decades to recover from industrialization, and as our ancestors 20000 years ago had to learn: Adapt, or die. ------ I was fortunate in my life to have lived with very cold and very hot temperatures. As much as the heat from the last week sucked, I, personally, was never in any real danger because of my history. I expect I will manage mostly ok, but I worry about people that just don't realize how bad things will get. This is not the hottest summer that you will see (unless you fail to adapt), and this winter will probably be as cold as this summer will be hot. Please take care of yourselves. Teach your children how to recognize things like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The racists will complain about the loss of their culture as they are forced to choose between what they're used to and what works with the new climate. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol "Gorsh, the nazi bar won't let me talk about anti-nazi stuff. I'm so sad. Please be sad for me." What the fuck do you expect from a nazi bar? I swear to Christ people need to start learning from motherfucking history. Immediately. The road only goes in one direction and history tells us where it leads. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…tly8 Yeah, but KITT was actually smart and actually autonomous.

I can watch a movie or see someone in real life overcome adversity, and I can feel happy for them. I can feel thrilled that they ovecame a difficult problem or situation. But why am I unable to show myself the same courtesy? Sure, I have a lot of privilege...far more than I should feel entitled to, really, but that doesn't mean I haven't struggled. That doesn't mean I haven't persevered. And I am capable of objectively observing it. But it is internally meaningless. And I do not understand why. I expect others to accept the praise. I expect others to take the external observations as fact. But myself? No. For me it's mostly just luck how things turned out or thanking my stars that my problems didn't get worse. I'm never able to accept any amount of credit for my own good fortune. I don't get it. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…d0yj Gonna make us ask? npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…pfuj He's testing limits, and the name coming down offered a nice distraction from his other bullshit?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the numbers from *this* end up being higher than, say, the UFC fight or his fucking birthday monologue? npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…w9rm Being a better person.

The notion that corporations are hiding a cure so they can make more money is ludicrous when so many of the scientists involved in curing it have lost someone close to them to cancer.

I have a plan to resolve some of these conflicts that I'm struggling with. Implementing it may bruise some feelings, but I don't really care hurting the feelings of bigots. That said, I spent a fair portion of the night trying to find a suicide chat line that wasn't completely useless. While clicking on chat after chat and finding nobody on the other end, or their chat function broken, or demands for my personal information (for my safety, you see), I made an observation. Every single resource - each one - had somewhere prominently displayed that screamed, "YOU ARE NOT ALONE", which I found hilarious while not being acknowledged by a single person. Eventually I contacted the VA Help line...I'm not sure if their budget has been cut or if I was with a trainee, or if they've just moved to chat bots (I asked, but machines can lie), but the "help" was absolutely useless. I was very specific in what I wanted: Someone to vent to so that I could sleep, so that I didn't sink deeper into depression and have a new host of other problems. What I needed was sleep, BEFORE the depression hit and I became actually suicidal. Dude was completely hung up on "making sure my environment was safe"...kept me on the line for well over an hour with ONLY that. I eventually just closed the window. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol The Venn diagram of "People that enjoy working with computers" and "people that enjoy managing other humans" is two separate circles, probably on two completely different pieces of paper. npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…d0yj Beige has the largest limit, I think: 11,001 npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol @nprofile…dyyh OMG, they make WiFi out of babies?!?!? npub128xxflk0g35n2ydr35ryprrhq9767mmevkvecs5q0zc8trultwss85mcnv Roknrol I'm not going to be good company today.
