Life Without a Computer

Your life without a computer: what does it look like? Walking around my hometown, floating in the New River that runs through my hometown, and reading novels. I haven’t had much use for a computer since smart phones became available but I have been using a Chromebook lately.  It takes getting used to but it does have benefits. Growing up in the 90’s, I had basic computer skills learned in high…

It's honestly kind of funny to me that catapulting into Kirk/Spock shipping has launched my usual "meh, not into jealousy as a metric of romantic love" shipping tendency out the window and instead I'm genuinely charmed by the extent to which they reflect the same unhealthy seething jealousy.

This is most obvious with Spock, but you'll get McCoy joking about Spock falling in love with a computer (not an android, a stationary computer) and McCoy being A Normal Guy Joking About His Friend Having a Hobby is immediately contrasted with Kirk's barely repressed jealousy (you can all but see him thinking "time to talk another computer to death" while McCoy just laughs at his own joke about it). Kirk gets more and more generally insecure until Spock publicly declares that, while he does like an efficient computer, Kirk is irreplaceable and he doesn't want to serve anyone or anything else, and Kirk looks like he's about to kiss him on the bridge.

(Kirk still talks the computer to death, btw, for plot reasons. But big "Edith Keeler must die" energy.)

I also enjoy Kirk's horror/outrage at Leila Kalomi and her obvious gloating over "taking" Spock from him in the docility sex pollen episode and Kirk's willingness to do or say anything to get Spock back vs Spock bleeding intensity throughout "Requiem for Methuselah" as Kirk falls in love with Rayna, then Spock numbly listening to McCoy's speech about how he can never understand the glories or agonies of romantic love triangles or passionate love before waiting for him to leave and then wiping Rayna from Kirk's mind. Just two bros who are totally normal about each other!

post-s11 Tami definitely gets tired of Lip and leaves him.

yes, I do like them as a couple, I think it is an interesting dynamic and that Tami is good for him honestly, even though they lived completely different lives and crash so many times because of it throughout the last seasons.

fact is Lip won't ever change and will keep making the same kind of mistakes and she will get fed up with it eventually. they'll go different ways, maybe keep a somewhat friendly relationship, and she will get a new partner and Lip will have a Sean kind of relationship with Fred: that kid is the most important thing in his whole life and he's constantly hunted by the fear of drinking again and hurting Fred.

probably i SHOULDN'T migrate elsewhere if tumblr goes belly-up. i just scrolled thru my dash for 20 minutes and in that short span i could feel myself transform from a mildly tired 27-year-old butch into an active serial killer.

Happy day 10 of this migraine. Should I throw a party when it inevitably gets to 14 days?

everyone “the ai is going to take over the world!”

Me an intellectual “brain organoid computation is a man made horror”

ANYWAY HOW’S IT GOING GUYS!!!

I for one accept the LITERAL newborn babies-

(this isn’t even a joke they are literally the equivalent of newborns or pre-term babies with the ability to interact and move in digital or real worlds… which we can grow and develop… bro why did we do this to children)

-who are being used for computer computation, I am so fucking sorry for them holy shit.

As soon as they figure out how to make a circulatory system it is OVER, these poor babies LITERAL BABIES will be basically tortured in a torture nexus being used a biological CPU’s for their entire lives..

they have sentience they are LITERALLY BABIES holy shit.

so uh, yeah artificial intelligence being the hype????

(I knew it was never gonna happen lol, it's a bit too hard and annoying)

FUCK NO BRAIN ORGANOIDS!

anyway nothing particularly fancy I’ve literally expected this to happen my entire life now, and it’s here.

like.. clones, genetics, bioengineering, all this cool stuff it's happening!!!

and uh kinda horrifying I do hope they are treating the organoids okay. the military, and other cool governmental orgs are totally using these.

and that is HORRIFYING, but you know we persist!

anyway cyberpunk is here, be nice to the children (brain organoids) and uh go about your day's guys!

getting super sick of the random ads that pop up on the side of whatever youtube video I’m watching as if I don’t already get multiple ad breaks that I’m forced to sit through throughout the video <3

everybody's moral panicking about what The Apps are doing to The Children but nobody warned me what The Apps will do to the brains of kittens
