cheee

First week it made me feel like there was a very light electric current running through my body. Not unpleasant, just a bit odd. Tingly. And yawning uncontrollably for a few hours after taking them for a few weeks.

Again, not unpleasant. But I absolutely embraced them, I did not fight the effects. I was very, very glad to try medications.

Now, after like 4 or 5 years, I can clearly tell the difference between before and after - the difference is, instead of downward spiralling into a hideous pit that I couldn’t climb out of, that spiralling downwards still starts, but it stops.

Instead of falling into the pit, I can just choose not to keep going down.

Things are still upsetting and I still take things worse than other people but I dont become out-of-control spiralling downwards forever until I can’t function. I have gained the ability to shrug and go “that sucks but, whatever”.

The way I survive my shitty internal thought processes is essentially this, but I think of it more as fatalism.

Things be as they be and usually there ain’t shit fuck all I can do about it, so I accept that.

Yeah, I’d agree, and why I hope AGI is a thing soon, so the AI(s) can take over managing us.

A far better solution would be to get the sex workers to help with finding and stopping paedophiles & the pimps who support this horrific shit

Get the police to worth with, not against, sex workers.

I’d bet anything that sex workers would be able to help identify and track down under-age prostitution.

The problem I had with Vinge’s Sky series is that the first book is so, so amazing. Like wonderfully amazing concepts that I wanted to read all about, so I immediately went and read the other 2.

Book 2 is ok but crap compared to book 1.

And book 3 sucks.

Neither book 2 or 3 explore any of the interesting concepts from A Fire Upon The Deep, and I wanted so, so much more, and it just left me deeply disappointed.

Fucking dumb headline - what the the fuck do they mean “allow”?

I’m Australian. No cunt I know is picking up their phone after hours if it’s their boss, unless they’re working in some on call or executive job that explicitly requires - and PAYS - for that.

Just don’t answer your phone dickheads

I dont want current gen BS AI which appears to be being used for like 92.4% evil

I do want AGI tho pls. ASAP.

Humans have fucked it all up and we deserve to be replaced by our successor species.

I’d much rather have AGI in control than politicians and billionaires.

Why is your skin colour the same as mine?

Fucking poser

Yea but where are u from?

I like this turn of phrase

It is exactly like that. A little warm secret fire in your heart, something that’s yours and brings you comfort but slowly fucking burns everything else to ash.
