Bidirectional channel. TCP. But with respect to the shared net. The experience that makes a dent in the fabric of reality as shared or known by all, personalizes the universe to a subdomain. Once I had the words. Now that’s gone too.

This works perfectly for my wife. I once believed in real relationships. They’re just ideas running through meat.

Yeah my boss just turned it around on me. And I guess he was right? I did have the power to change in that situation. But it made asking for help kind of pointless. I was already blaming myself. This is turning into a pity party. Eh.

Honestly, I'd ask them how they've handled things going wrong. If things have never gone wrong for them, then they're not that experienced. Find out if this is someone who takes responsibility for their actions.

Act in accordance with your organizational culture and values. If everyone's out for themselves and you act selflessly, you _will_ get hurt. Mental health issues are for life. It's not worth the risk.

Because his productivity, drive and ideas, are symptomatized manifestations of a disease instead of the dreams and character of a remarkable person.

“Something something quantum something, copying breaks the entanglement in the original processor” I.e. they went all in on c++ 11 and everything is an rvalue reference.

I did this for a friend once--housed a friend for 8 months during the pandemic--and it turned out they were just using me and deepening their addiction. I don't really believe in caring about people anymore. I argued against that concl

Let's play devil's advocate. This person was going to die soon anyway. They'd only live with the disappointment of their last ride to hospice for a few weeks/months anyway. What difference does it really make, to be lone

Jesus fucking christ and I thought I was a narcissist who was spoiled by my social class. Thank you kind stranger for showing me what real indifference and ignorance looks like.

Nobody needs to smoke. Everybody needs to eat. Abstinence is easier than moderation.

by mansoon 4y ago
Chatgpt would have been a better therapist for me than the online therapist I had a few years ago. I really felt like I was talking to a bot that didn’t parse the things I was saying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCgYMFtxUUw Sir, you are in violation of the ontology. Chicago pizza, while erroneously linguistically linked to the categorical foodstuff, is not, in fact, pizza.

Psychedelics are the best tool we have right now but they are fucking dangerous and do not let any "shaman" types tell you otherwise.

It's not about safe. It's about: utility_positive_outcome * probability_postitive_outcome + utility_negative_outcome * probability_negative_outcome You've made these two smaller in absolute magnitude, but also biased things t
