Achievement Unlocked: Vegetables Aren't Healthy. (Cook falafel at home.)

... a day later, I realize I should've made that "Assigned Biological at Runtime." Just... gonna leave that there. It would've made a better joke, but the moment is passed, so anybody else who wants it, go for it. Find a good home for this idea and do something with it.

Politics 

I try to keep politics away from this space, because more and more I feel like a specialist in my own particularly strain of psychoceramics, but I have enough trouble feeling like I'm screaming into the void sometimes. I need to at least put down my thoughts somewhere where I can look at them outside my own head and study them. If others want to pick up the rock and stare at them with me, I think I'm okay with that, too.

Politics 

I genuinely think America is over. More to the point, I think America should _be_ over. I don't think there's a "we the people" any more, and that would be fine if we had a proportional parliamentary system with RCV and we could make small shifts at the margins and guarantee high degrees of regional autonomy. We can't, though, and there's no incentive for anyone in charge to diminish their own role on the stage to make it happen.

Six hours of sleep is enough. What the hell is it with organic bodies that causes the "I'm so tired my brain won't shut down" effect?

Sleep. Sleep was the thing I was going to do. Fuck. Too tired to sleep. Fuck.

This is a Bad Idea, buni 

Do not build a clicker game whose mechanic is base and numeric conversions that provides interesting facts about math as its rewards for things.

(It's a calculator. It has a limit for how many digits it can display and what it can use as digits. You can buy new digits for the display and access to more base systems, but converting to higher bases will cost you clicks. Filling your buffer causes rollover but gets you other bonuses.)

(NO, buni.)

Every safe space is tuned for specific people. Some people's safety is explicitly unsafe for others. That doesn't mean your safety, desires, or needs are inherently bad, but it DOES mean you need to consider your audience and platform.

Is "carbon-based organic" an identity?
Is "human" an identity?

If these are, then we must allow for people who possess either, neither, or both in our dialogues. Whether or not they are capable of being the things with which they identify, we must accept that they exist and are part of our worldview.
If these are not, then aren't we tacitly asserting that self-aware existences outside of these are not possible, or at least, not worthy of consideration as people?

I really dislike how I feel like I _have_ to go back there to get half the engagement in the fandom. It's not that I want to be there. It's that there are interesting people there who aren't here that I don't want to just walk away from.

I cut the cord once. I can do it again. But Jeez is it rough.
