noticing a lot of tension in my neck+shoulders today

hmm

@amir these are actually the same thing: people expecting you to treat them at a certain level of importance

some people think that their position means you should treat them as more important than you, and get mad when you dont

mad as in, 'youre not acting like a civilised member of society so i wont treat you as one'

this is a fully general method for not feeling any emotion you dont like

alright guys ive figured out the method for not being stressed

its easy you just say 'im not stressed' whenever anyone, including you, asks if youre stressed

pondering my increasing extremism

ive always been partial to people with principled objections to the status quo, but im leaning more and more in the direction of bitfd

i dont think destroying the system will make things better, mind

@urusan cleverer arrangements are possible, usually also involving leaving some parts of the die round instead of being a side

practically speaking, the die will become more and more cylindrical/spherical as you add more sides, so i suspect the real answer is a surface area:sides ratio, beyond which it just rolls and/or you cant read the numbers

@urusan its going to be a prime number of sides, wince you can easily get an n-sided die given a- and b-sided dice where a*b=n

using standard dice of the sort you can get at a hobbyist store, you cant get a fair d7

however, d7 do exist: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dic

actually, scrolling through that, i begin to suspect that if you want a certain size die you can get it; itll just take something like pic related

@michael_nielsen When I move close to speaking things not just important to me, but essential, it as if something dead chokes my throat. The words that are easiest for me are those that I care about least - and this is something I see in the lives of my peers, too.
