I was able to dodge crypto bullshit with the last tech hype train, but AI is so pervasive and the chance to make lots of money exploiting regular people is so high that its inescapable this time.

I used to think that if I ever got sick of writing code, I could go back to my previous job being a professional artist but... you know.

I guess now I am just doing my best to numb my soul and maybe keep an eye out for a recruiter email that doesn't have something to do with AI in it while waiting for the moment where my incandescent rage breaks past my crippling financial anxiety/generational trauma and I run away into the woods or join a non-profit or progressive political campaign.

Have been worried that I'd made a huge mistake with this career change; no way I have the experience needed to do this well. No way they actually hired someone whose never been a technician to run around the state helping technicians diagnose "difficult" cars. Riding along with another advisor last week, I felt like I was back in my first days at [College] when I knew absolutely nothing about cars, felt completely lost, and had gone into the major on nothing more than a vague hunch that it would be a good fit. Then again, I legit spent the last two hours voluntarily reading case studies on a forum recommended by a Diagnostic Shop's youtube channel that I've been subscribed to for years, and geeking out over it. Like, "almost sent one of my professors a screen grab of the data feeds in a thread cuz it made me think of his class and I was proud of myself for seeing what the OP saw before he revealed the issue" geeking out.

Maybe I just need to trust that I'll grow into the position just like I grew into the major.

Soap who hates his anger issues so he tries to tamp them down, but that just causes them to explode out at a later time. Which in turn makes him angrier because why can't he just be more docile. Why does he have to be so violent ALL THE DAMN TIME.

There's actually a really big discussion to be had in x men and comic fandom spaces in general about how often fans place their fictional marginalized characters above actual real life marginalized people but honestly some fans are very stupid and I don't like talking to them. Y'all should work that out tho, best of luck.

Thinky Life Series Thoughts: Martyn's Betrayal

I cannot stress enough how much this is about characters as parts of a narrative and not about the real life humans other than the initial meta setup.

So all the way back in Third Life, InTheLittleWood's plan was to ultimately betray Ren and Dogwarts, he just never got the chance, they died first. In Last Life he tried, by luring Ren into a trap in the final confrontation moments, but Scott killed him before he could do so effectively. Double Life Ren died early on to Grian's dripstone, long before the potential for a betryal even really existed, this is the series where they were least aligned with each other.

And Limited Life Ren was absent and Martyn finally got his betrayal.

And I am just really, really glad because, from a narrative perception, i think it is so much better that it was Scott he betrayed rather than Ren. Because Scott wouldn’t have it any other way and I really do think that kind of betrayal would break Ren's heart.
