uh me

im autistic af lmao

is this what carnists meant when they said hurting plants is as unethical as eating meat

honestly, the criticism of AI i often see is wrong/exaggerated. i think there is a deep, existential horror to the usage of ai that people do not like, but have a hard time actually describing why it makes them so uncomfortable, so they go for talking points they see in the discourse. that's why a lot of ai bros dissuade all criticism with "they just think ai is evil lmao"

it isn't good for the environment, and regardless of how not good it is for the environment, it's being used to disadvantage the working class further for profit. that's bad! so i wish it was less "ai burns an entire forest with each use" and more "no amount of energy usage is an acceptable amount to generate dogshit"

or something idk i spent like all day reading ai discourse and i think my brain is fried rn

thank you

I think the robot can be used for validating feelings if you're in a panic spiral or something and need something to turn to instantly. Not much else. Using it with an actual therapist/psychologist seems fine to me. Using it without it would def validate maladaptive behaviours.

I can't really blame people for not turning to like, online support groups instead, since every online support group i've tried just ended up being uber gatekeep-y

it's a bit sad that china's gaming industry is now basically 100% gacha thanks to hoyoverse making a fuck ton of money. the government there has passed more laws relating to it than america/japan, but man, you hate to see it

liberal protests are very interesting. it was very effective to make them feel like they had some agency in life over the ruling class by doing gestures that don't actually affect change.

I've been following the Infinity Nikki drama, where players are mad at the game for introducing some anti-consumer practices. It's not a very shocking thing to happen, as it's 1. a gacha, 2. targetted at women. The company that makes it basically has a monopoly on gacha games targetted at women, so they can be as shitty to their playerbase as they want. Anyway, aside from bitching online, the players also are boycotting purchases in it (which, we all know how effective "voting with your wallet is). Obviously this did not get a good enough response from the company's PR. So the protestors have a new plan, which was not to play the game.

For a singular day.

Not a week, not a month, not until their demands are met. A single day.

usually when i say this kinda thing i leave it without the correction so they can respond to it and then go "ooh sorry, typo, i meant less". it's way funnier that way

sorry, i died from being unable to get a haircut so i can't communicate with you

super cute! i love mint + pink color schemes

putting a bunch of ideologies up on my wall then throwing darts at them to determine my political beliefs

ah yea that makes sense

especially since this argument is usually used for indie games that did quite well or had high budgets. i dont think the creator of stardew valley is gonna miss my $10 that much.

i don't really understand the moralizing about pirating indie games. like, piracy is not stealing. i was not going to buy it. i am more likely to buy a game after pirating it bc i realized i liked it.

Yea that feeling sounds more along the lines of understimulation to me. I feel more passive when i disassociate

first bit sounds like being understimulated, which'd probably be an ADHD thing

I have these rich fantasy worlds I'll daydream in. Like legit world building where I need things to make sense.

if you're daydreaming a lot and it gets in the way of functioning, it could be maladaptive daydreaming. if you just do it for fun and it doesn't, then that's just pretty normal

It feels like I'm distracting myself from my life sometimes. I'm not in a great place, and I know I'd start tasks when I'm stressed. Sometimes I'll drop make plans and then drop them immediately. Other times I'll freeze and stall before making a decision.

I do this too, for me it's that i get super anxious about low-productivity when im anxious, so i try to do something, but then physically cannot focus due to the anxiety

i have disassociative identity disorder, so i have a lot of experience with disassociation. personally none of this feels similar to me, aside from the daydreaming (but that's coupled with other symptoms). needing to do things in silence, for example, is the exact opposite for me. when im dissociating i prefer silence, and then i kinda blank on what im doing and then it's done. since i have pretty hardcore amnesia barriers that might just be me, though

literally me

i love people as a concept but i don't like talking to people

same, but i don't really see a difference in speculating straight vs bi. like if saying someone is bi is speculating but saying someone is straight isn't that seems heteronormative to me

im plural so close enough ig

i love how he bases his poses off modelling poses, seeing the art and the reference from vogue or whatever is so cool

also, he could be bi
