Awesome edutainment of the day: http://nandgame.com — spend a few hours making a CPU out of NAND gates. It teaches you about three quarters of my semester-long Computer Architecture class in a few hours, better than I learned it from the professor I had a partial language barrier with...

(attn. to @cons@lgbt.io who I think would be specifically interested)

the universe is an incredibly complicated system of things that interact according to the laws of physics. we are not just in the universe; we are of the universe and we are part of the universe.

I CAN LICK THE UNIVERSE

note: if I say “take a chill pill”, which I never do, I am literally referring to acetaminophen, which dulls emotional pain as effectively as physical pain. Just watch the dosing and don’t use it too frequently so you don’t fuck up your liver, but it’s a good tool generally

It's amazing how much better I feel when I shave, even though there's no immediately cognitively-accessible reason for it. Subconscious dysphoria woo

I should rewatch MANOS The Hands Of Fate again. Or at least the puppet show remake, MANOS The Hands Of Felt.

No, I am not especially okay, but there is nothing to be done about it but to treat the symptoms and keep moving.

Welcome to everybody’s favorite game show, “Hairball Or Spider?”!

The USA needs a new 14th amendment that extends the Bill of Rights to adequately influential private corporations, and an amendment that explicitly recognizes privacy as a right and is considered part of the Bill of Rights for purposes of the 14th and the other proposed amendment.

Does anybody have recommendations for interactive college-level "learn stuff" sites that are _not_ video-centric?

It’s taken me all morning to get to the point where I can even name my emotions: “overwhelmed and asocial”. At least it’s an answer.

I love cargo pants! They’re comfy and easy to wear!

woo, already knocked one item off today’s to-do list at work!

☑️ argue on the intranet

ah, the modern gig economy, where I have to seriously contemplate the consequences on a rideshare driver’s life when deciding whether I should take a single star off for going 65 in a 30 and being in a cell phone conversation the entire way

I feel intensely stressed today, I don’t know why, and I’m not handling it well.

I am not a good relationship partner. I kind of look like I am because I am desperately co-dependent, but it turns out that “co-dependent control freak terrified that other people might experience unpleasant emotions” is not, in fact, anywhere near as good a relationship experience as it might look at first.

I am learning better patterns and working through this and it is a grinding uphill climb that has lasted years and will require decades more.

I think I found the awoo.space soundtrack

I miss Microsoft Encarta ‘98
