No

Yes, some time on an ashram gave me some tools, and I have a degree of Christian faith that is hard to explain. And both are part of how I managed to stay out of jail this long

No one understand how I struggle hour by hour to not become violent. It’s medical and I have almost no control over when it will arise

I have done very well, only ever let myself go once in my life and have regretted it ever since.

Whenever I tell people they assume I’m trying to be an edgy badass when really I am so fucking tired of having to isolate myself for most of my life for other people’s safety and so fucking lonely because any IRL friend that hangs around me enough is going to see an episode and ghost me.

Add on top of that literally every social outlet I’ve had has been whittled away.

I don’t WANT to be an angry person. I like peace and cats and relaxing music. I’m a pacifist and would have been a conscientious objector had I been drafted. I have general goodwill towards most people unless they prove themselves unworthy. I give even proven liars the benefit of the doubt because I want to see the best in people but nearly every minute of my life a part of my fucking mind is on overdrive looking for a reason to break someone’s arm.

I have spent decades learning how to make myself look small and nonthreatening and I wear it like a mask all the time because when I walk the way my brain wants me to walk I get called into HR for no fucking reason

I have never threatened anyone, never even spoke loudly more than a handful of times but I have lost SEVEN FUCKING JOBS because HR tells me ‘You’re making people in the workplace uncomfortable’

you can create shortcuts of web addresses and it’ll open that address in your default browser

Grunt “Typical” and go about my life because the universe won’t allow anything good to happen to me

Just because I am in IT doesn’t mean I can hack your taxes away, and if I could, I wouldn’t because I like my freedom

You really don’t want to go down that line with a guy on the spectrum that has spent literally half a century thinking about space travel. You really don’t.

If my experience is common, the update ‘pre-loads’ some non-locked system files as time goes on while the update is downloaded but not technically applied by the tool. So these files get changed without a reboot, and while you may not be using them at the time of overwrite, when you next load them, there are subtle incompatibilities with the previous version and your active data.

Kind of like ‘The dll was replaced by the exe is still the old version’, and this causes a ton of small but annoying glitches, crashes, and odd audio behavior.

Untill reboot, which happens less and less often now that windows doesn’t bluescreen every few hours.

My conspiracy is that they are aware of it, and do not change it despite the risks it provides, to keep everyone in line with their update schedule, denying the user the rights to control their own hardware, again.

Most of that is because comfortable humans are inherently lazy.

This is classist propaganda and doesn’t belong in your message

It went bad in less than 20 so…

We can’t even keep the most prosperous nation on the planet from falling to fascism in 5 years how the FUCk do you think we’re gonna keep an isolated crew of highly intelligent people with access to the highest tech available?

I know enough about human nature that the only way this works is if it started as a die-hard authoritarian religious movement and even then I only give it 1 out of 4 chances of making it 100 years into the mission

To know the outcome of the 2024 election before reddit and Lemmy came into existence,

Ok so either you’re a noob at U.S. politics or a bot but you seem to be unaware of the U.S.'s historically terrible voter turnout that has been fluctuating between 40% to 60% since the 1950s at the VERY least

Considering that was an inference problem, and you completely miffed it based on misunderstandings of timeframes, I’m more than sure you’re a badly tuned LLM

naive bullshit thinking like this is how we got here in the first place…

You’re right to feel this way, our country is off the rails and it’s going to be bad for DECADES

No one is really interested in stopping it either. I mean we get a lot of dems wagging their fingers and saying ‘naughty naughty’ and sending out a donations request blast, but literally no-one is interested in stopping this decline

I suggest you do material things now to protect yourself. Make a plan for leaving the country because they are going to start disappearing people based on their social media posts before the end of the year

I hope you weren’t looking to get cheered up and most of the people in this thread are fucking clueless idiots that have never had to deal with mass social strife int heir lives and their armchair ‘Chin up, it’ll get better’ attitudes are exactly the fuck how we got here in the first place

… you didn’t ‘dip your brush’ into tooth powder, you dusted it onto the bristles…

what a fucking ridiculous amount of plastic waste for such a pitifully bad display

the 2000’s facebook chemtrail uptick was defs a 3 letter agency operation

Area 51 wasn’t where the really good stuff happened anyway, and none of it was aliens

This isn’t a conspiracy, it is a proven, multiply established fact

I’m pretty sure they actually did get a government subsidy which is unusual
