I'm sure that with any new technology AI isn't JUST bullshit to put living humans out of work, but has amazing potential for landlords to make money, and for police to deduce that they should hurt Black people and protesters more, because that's what technology exists to do in this society, right?

"how can AI and 3d printing address housing problems" oh yeah, just what would save humanity, using enough water for a year's crop of corn to plan then print several tiny houses which feature a toilet connected directly to the hot water heater in the middle of the living room, and which can then be part of a lottery for homeless people or rented out at exorbitant costs.

I WAS going to post Shonen Knife covers of different songs

but honestly I'm tired and the joke was going to be about Shonen Knife making every song about eating deserts

@frost I almost forgot how those things sounded.

#drawings today, working larger

okay so I did my political activity for today by calling all my congresspeople, big whoop

throw a tack on the road, stop the meatplow

@frost The subjectivity of all of this suggests I CAN’T tack my self worth to this cruel process, doing so is by definition a set up for feeling terrible.

@frost The big thing I’m thinking about here is how my perception is very contextualized. My friend is smarter and more successful, but she makes me feel valued, accepted as I am, and safe. But feeling unsafe, feeling evaluated (and judged not good enough) by total strangers who mean nothing to me beyond an authority to placate, makes me feel like a profoundly stupid failure.

@frost any job is going to be a mix of intelligence, experience and just random bullshit. I think tech sector jobs are (like say law, medicine or accounting) a place where you can actually make big bucks *related* to intelligence, which is part of why I internalized them as proof that I didn’t fit in, was a total moron, etc.

A bit over 12 hours ago, I was hanging out with a friend who makes me look as stupid as my Dad used to say I was, and who correspondingly had a lot of utterly brilliant tech sector employee money, and not once did I feel so completely inferior and worthless as I do today while applying for jobs.

hot take; truly sad that out of all the media "you like X established franchises therefore let's regurgitate a reboot/retelling/sequel" we will never get a good Judge Dredd vs. Predator movie, partly because neither Dredd movie really *got* the right level of goofy AF take on incredibly dark topics. (Eg, "Dredd vs. Predator" is about a good level of serious yet goofy AF.)

if we were very lucky, an artery would give out or something, and I wouldn't be here tomorrow. We are not that lucky, so I am doing the best I can.

"How do I know if I have [ethnic group] ancestry?" uh, frankly this is something I do NOT want someone having my DNA to test out. That's a little too close to figuring out what goes on the forearm tattoo, you know?

Also have you considered that “Big Charlie,” “Fat Charlie,” and even “Carloman” sound like perfectly reasonable sax or clarinet player names and therefore I have some theories about early French monarchs and their relationship to jazz?

based on Bilbo and Frodo, we can safely assume that -o suffix names characterize the Bagginses, and therefore “Sappho, Harpo and Pongo Baggins” are all appropriate names for self insert fan characters

I hate feeling like Queer nerdy leftist space is just another hegemony I'm required to conform to.

GMing is facilitating. I'm not telling my story, it's about a story in which other people get to be awesome. Since "my life is a story in which someone else is awesome" is a lot of my baggage, it definitely has to contribute to how quickly I burn out on running when I run, and definitely is part of burning out on games I've been in.
