I've also got a pattern of annoying the shit out of low-openness nurses. Conscientious and extroverted people, to be sure, but they're not used to dealing with a person like me who runs on high-octane speculative thinking.

I once happened to share a social circle with a stone-cold narcissist, and he seemed mildly annoyed whenever I existed in the same room as him. I try to be friends with literally every person I meet, but this narcissist dude acted genuinely disgusted by me.

An interesting thing about Cosmo is that my appeal fits tightly into certain demographics:
* people with cluster-B disorders treat me like half-chewed cat food. They have no interest in me at all.
* people who follow me on Mastodon tend to be intensely high-IQ, highly attractive, and extremely sexually gifted

It was under lost constellations when the thunder lizards tyrannized this planet, and under a breathless sky that this planet began to metabolize.

Shit is popping off at Cosmic Industries.

Dispatches on this: I didn't know how difficult Luhman is as a writer. He's got this common disease of German academics to assume that you're already clued into his conversation. But reader -- I am not clued into his conversation.

Upon reflection, the thing that's most disappointing about "Ant Man Quantumania" is that we got a fight between a time-traveller and a guy who can shrink ad infinitum and that it was so completely boring.

Filler post. This post contains no expression or information. Please move on.

Guy who begins all his sentences with "heck."

The cybersecurity nuts have another thing coming. I just had to do two-factor authentication to save a document in Word.

Good shitposts come out of provocation, and there's always a little bit of insight communicated in effective provocation. Unless you're dril, it's hard for a poster to access that insight without betraying some trace of sincerity. The normal failure-states for shitposters are an excess of sincerity (EG gimmick accounts dropping the bit to repeat a slogan) or self-betrayal, which amounts to a loss of insight.

Yesterday I was hanging out with some new friends and we briefly slipped into the sub-topic of how insane the 07-10 period was. There's a demographic band of people who had to search for employment during that period who have a bone-deep sense of how bad things can really get. I just cannot stress this enough. For years, everything I applied for had 300-to-1 odds. I am very happy that kids these days have no idea, but they very profoundly have no idea.

I have acquired a teenaged adult who has started emulating me.
What do.

I think for Halloween this year I'll make a bunch of those "I hate the antichrist" memes.

0th percentile: the truth wins out

50th percentile: nooo it's a heckin sociology of scientific knowledge

99th percentile: the sociology of scientific knowledge is articulated within the semiotic. The truth wins out.

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Info Hazard Real Hahahaha Neighbor Just Replace the Immediate Translatant with the Dynamic Translatant Like Neighbor Test a Hypothesis Haha

Miraculously alive.
Willing to beg for utopia.

Nightmare scenario for speculative fiction: the entire electrical grid goes down in the US for over a year due to an overlap between two mid-level climate catastrophes and political disaster. Inequalities drive a breakdown in the monopoly of violence. One organized faction of end-gamers starts a tactical nuclear exchange. This unlocks a new level of runaway climate processes, driving global conditions out of the zone for surface habitation.The light of consciousness goes out in the universe.
