since my wife sat on your copy of hungry hungry hippos i have an idea for a game you can play instead: hungry hungry girls. how you play is four girls eat a big pile of toys and then they win.

that's true

The thing about litfic evangelists saying "yes, you have to get the same thing out of this art as me to be fully human; no, I will not give you a procedure to get the same thing out of this art as me" is that it's much, much worse than religious mindless obedience because there is nothing to obey; it ultimately reduces to "i get to attack you at random times in perpetuity for reasons you cannot predict, mitigate or complain about"

This post is stupid. The reason this is rude is you ought to prioritize friends currently undergoing difficulties, not because "divorce beats magic." If someone walked up to you giving you all the lurid details of some third party's divorce, someone you had never met or even heard of, or worse, their theory of What Divorce Says About Society, this would be considerably more rude than going up to strangers and cold opening with your magic system.

Your friend tries to tell you about her divorce but you're like "umm that sounds kind of boring can we talk about my hard magic system instead?"

"women hold up half the sky" factoid actualy just statistical error. average woman holds up none of the sky. Genderfluid Atlas, who holds up the entire sky & is a woman half of the time, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

For a long time, I assumed that a "linked list" referred to a pair of lists where you find the index where some desired value is stored in list A and then look up that same index in list B, to approximate the functionality of hash maps in languages without them. I am not sure why I assumed this.

I wouldn't though. I would find a way to fail. It's my only skill.

lowkey some of you guys would thrive in a world that was better and kinder.

I keep going back to Inform as a possible mode of project to create. Unfortunately, the I7 IDE on linux has some problems: it cannot render the index, compilation errors, or any documentation, and while the docs are available online they are not searchable there. Based on some testing I did a while back it seems to be a graphics driver problem and for so I am at the mercy of when/if those update and there is no point bothering the I7 maintainers.

I can boot into windows and use the windows version, of course, but this makes it no longer a Dabbling Thing that can be switched to as the mood strikes me, which is sort of what it needs to be.

Something seems to have cracked and I can now sleep 7+ hours per night without excessive difficulty; I have maintained this for a week after months and months of 6 hours being exceptionally good. I feel like Something is recovering while this is happening; however mostly I am stuck with restlessness of greater energy being insufficiently served by low-sleep habits. I really need some kind of big creative project, unrelated to factorio modding because I'm sick of it, which I can plug away at. I feel like the time I was doing the best, emotionally speaking, was some time in 2020 when I was working on my stupid fork of cdda. I find that by the end of the day I am tired enough to sleep, and it is not as difficult as it once was to make the decision to go to sleep, but I am uneasy about the prospect of wasted days. I need some kind of project that people can be interested in, so that I can have some excuse to talk to them, because I am always the one who needs to prove my topic and people do not bring their topics to me.

Unfortunately the entire world seems to consist of nothing but dead ends that have long been mapped out, and there is nothing to learn about except hundreds of different flavors of exalted suffering. I need new categories of thing. I need new categories of knowledge.

I’ve said something similar before but within the next 20 years there’s going to be a crisis in the Middle East/Southern Asia which will be directly traceable back to the Trump Administration’s decision to deliberately ruin the Obama Administration’s attempts at thawing relations with Iran

Periodically I randomly remember the one classmate in a high school creative writing class who, for a disposable warmup assignment to describe your utopia, said "there wouldn't be any rich or poor people, only middle class and upper middle class." Intrinsically hilarious sequence of words
