Further context in original post

I understand it’s being misused by people who don’t need it, particularly in the entertainment industry. But I’m almost 400 lbs and my eating is worse than it’s ever been and I’m just in desperate need to rid myself of this obsession with always eating more no matter what. Does anyone here have any experience with it? I’ve heard it just works by making you nauseous but I’ve read elsewhere that that’s just a common side effect. At this point I’m nauseous most of the time anyway.

Like one time I was fighting with my partner and it felt like we were an entire football field away from each other even though we were just across the room. And every time they talked I physically felt like I was the size of a doll.

Or sometimes on bad dysphoria days I’ll watch myself type and my thumbs will look huge to me. Or sometimes they’ll feel really far away.

Is there a name for this? Is it indicative of anything?

If anyone has any music that’s similar to this, I’ll love you forever. It scratches such a specific itch. Makes me wish she was the full time vocalist for AAL

My ADHD yearns for the lists. My autism insists that I don’t feed neoliberal app standards to do so.

Twitter still exists, but mostly as Elon’s phylactery

Some Gen B account I follow just posted a meme

Deep fried memes are back, but now done with AI to distort the picture in unpredictable new forms of mockery

It’s a dog dressed as the US and a cat dressed as China. The cat is rolling its eyes at the dog. The dog speaks: “Iran had WMDs”

Our platform at work (hosted on GKE) is down and we have some execs looking to get “official” confirmation before we announce anything. Thankfully, Google’s status pages insist everything’s fine while all the GKE admin pages and command line tools are timing out.

Downdetector seems to suggest it’s an Internet wide widespread event but everything’s working fine for me. Anyone have any insight?

Also, Hexbear seems unaffected. Whoever does ops for the site, congrats on betting on the right horse, apparently.

Enough talk about watermarks and identifying which AI slop is real or fake. Regulate the power consumption, the water usage, the emissions, and/or the bandwidth. Either kill that shit in the cradle or let companies finally figure out how to proooooompt without killing our habitats even faster than we already were.

I feel like every week there’s a new trend or term that skinny people are using to shame each other and call each other fat. And the threshold for who is and isn’t fat just keeps moving down. Makes me wanna gatekeep fatness, body dysmorphia be damned.

I genuinely don’t think there’s been this much a cultural shift towards an obsession with thinness since Heroin Chic.

Edit: I hear y’all loud and clear. Time to reset my algo

Players walk in to prefilled character sheets. Their characters are all peons in a battle that’s about to commence. Every time they die, they raise in rank and in level. They retain the memories they’ve gained while being other people and can choose which army to side with when they enter their next body.

My work is requiring me to start using AI so I did an exploration this weekend.

I was blown away by how quickly I was able to get a working app. Full social media clone complete with persistence, video and audio playback, auth, realtime updates, and image uploads in about half an hour. I was then horrified by the quality of the code and how little I understood what the code was doing. I 10x’ed my speed, but in return debugging and editing was 100x harder and more time consuming.

I was also attempting to learn React Native and took note of how little debugging using the AI helped me actually learn the platform I was working with. I ended up abandoning the AI in favor of just learning directly.
