<.<

*motions you to follow her back into the alley*

No joke - that was me at 16 :) That's my first real identity, and 100% how I identified for like... many formative years ;)

I don't want my fangs too long 

the moon to the left of me is a part of my thoughts is a part of me is a part of me is me

whatever is the wind is a part of my thoughts is a part of me is me

A MILLION MENNONITES ARE GETTING ON THE TRAIN PLZ COME SIT WITH ME

@mawr I dont think I can easily disassemble this laptop either...

@mawr well I never care about speed on a laptop since its not chock full of xeons, and its a bit late for that option as I'm already on this train ;)

@eidolon they're just properly managing expectations.

can I manually lock my drive and roll from memory on linux these days? I'm worried about the train shaking on a moving drive...

magick / sentience / free will 

A thing I nudge my rationalizer in a lot is attention. Attention is perception. Just change what I focus on, change what I think is possible, change what I /expect/ to happen and see if it was always happening and I didnt notice because I was sure it was impossible.

sentience, free will, etc 

@literorrery @mawr yes yes yes yes. Push the probability of a given behavior, and then a set of given possible rationalizations. Change subtly the dopamine squirt from an ingrained reaction up or down.

sentience, free will, etc 

@mawr I think sentience is an illusion and "free will" is the qualia of running over a part of your brain grooves that isnt quite so deep as the ones you're used to.

@bea As a person who "yass"'d my feelings about consciousness, did you find the book depressing?
