Ever since 2022 the jack-in-a-box music has been playing and Jack sure is taking his sweet fucking time.

Just turn right, it’ll go away.

Moved from Windows 10 to CachyOS, one of the first things I did was change the Fastfetch colors to the trans flag.

I know the opposite can be done because I did it just recently.

I have a nearing 10 year old set up from when it still made sense to have a 200gb SSD with a 2tb HDD for games. This hard drive is absolutely struggling with these massive games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk (and Baldur’s Gate 3 has the annoying habit of not waiting for assets to finish loading before playing a cutscene).

I used this thing called bcache to take a 100gb partition of my SSD to automatically cache the most frequented files from the HDD. Even though Baldur’s Gate 3 is 120gbs (which I don’t think it needs to be, I think it’s poorly optimized) it was still enough to mostly get rid of any loading issues.

To make this relevant to your question, you could get a massive cheap but slow hard drive or even an external drive and use something like bcache to get the performance of your internal SSD.

Well, I became obsessed with yuri fan art and felt sad I could never be in a sapphic relationship, which somehow wasn’t enough to realize.

Then I cried when watching a video of a male YouTuber coming out as gay and couldn’t figure out why.

Then PhilosophyTube (before they came out as trans) explained what being transgender was with clam chowder.

And finally that PhilosophyTube video led me to Contrapoints which was the final nail in the coffin.

It’s weird, it’s not like I never heard of the concept of trans people before, but it just felt like any attempt I made to explore those feelings were immediately suppressed by my brain until it was presented in video essay format.

Y’see the 3 sided zipper can only exist in cosmic levels of pressure and heat, being constrained by advanced AI controlled magnets to prevent the zipper from getting caught on something.

I know bigots will be bigots but it really annoys me that they blindly think being queer is political but need proof that war is political.

I already knew that Sabertooth Tigers were our only natural predator, but I didn’t think about the possibility that their teeth evolved specifically to gouge our eyes out. It makes sense too because the brain is our main advantage and it can’t do much after it’s skewered.

The ruler has nonsense AI hallucinated numbers.

I wish dumb excuses got punished more harshly, because it’s either trying to escape consequences or a genuine amount of stupidity that either way should have your degree and/or funding revoked.

It’s like a step above autopilot. It feels like the rational parts of your brain are locked off to you and the world is briefly as confusing to you as when you were a kid.

Obviously you can shake out of it and think harder about your scenario, but usually you just want the thing over and done with and that leaves you fumbling about long enough to make a bad decision.

When coming across an unfamiliar problem, does anyone else feel themselves be possessed by the “problem solver”? It’s like the rational part of your brain doesn’t think it needs to be there so it delegates to your lizard brain and your lizard brain decides to “solve” the problem itself.

It’s so jarring how much can “seem like a good idea at the time”.

I’m pretty sure there’s a good amount of biological chemistry that relies on Quantum Mechanics so it’s unlikely the human body doesn’t have any. But there’s nothing that would impact the brain and the way we think.

Fun fact neurons are surprisingly binary, they send signals through discrete pulses with different timings. This is ironic because computer neural networks operate more analog with continuous values than real neural networks do. Because of this (mostly)discrete on or off behavior it would actually make the signal of neurons more resistant to the random noise and tiny effects of quantum mechanics.

If QM wanted to affect how we think, it would need to be deliberately amplified in a way we don’t see anywhere.

Yes! Finally someone mentions this. No one ever seems to acknowledge that they assume some kind of omniscient perspective. Something can’t be determined if no one knows the answer.

I’ll also add two points:

Why do we assume determinism removes our free will? If I were a parent you could bet with almost certainty that I would take a bullet for my child, does that mean it’s not my choice because it’s predictable? And events in the past are almost always determined, but we don’t say our past actions are against our will because they’re known now.

Why do we assume randomness gives or allows for free will? If my muscle spasms randomly it’s not suddenly my choice because it’s unpredictable. And if I found out that a choice I had reasons for committing was actually just a random chance that would be more disheartening than liberating. We only think this gives free will because we assume the random chance and our consciousness are the same thing. But that’s just reinventing the immaterial soul with added psuedoscience.

I wonder how often photos of them get accused of being AI nowadays?

There’s a different story where a pair of twin women married a pair of twin guys, all four living together, and are all dedicated to basically living mirrored lives with each other.

Each couple had a child and while the children would be cousins they are genetically siblings. A fun fact amidst what is either mental illness, closeted polyamory, or both.

💔 This hurts to read

Actually Deepseek’s having a resurgence because of their Engram module which is truly novel.

It’s not so much that Deepseek is a flash in the pan but more like they do some cool new thing and everyone copies their work while they recede back into their research.

I prefer to use the lossless format of PNG, pronounced as Ping.
