Sucks. The only part I like is the dandy's gun classification. It's ugly, lack trigger guard, tiny probably making it very hard to use. Ugly for a revolver somehow. Normally I like tiny guns. If someone gave it to me, into the scrapped parts bin for lathe projects later.

Lungs, adding a leg. Round the world tour for Frankenstein's creation parts? Did each eye go to different continents to see the world? Just in time for Halloween. The joke may stop, unless another leg turns up to keep it running.

This account is fun. I check now and then and see stuff like this. I hope there's a lot of human lungs on board or the passengers have real problems. Yeah I know, but corny joke opportunity.

Huh, can I be an honorary Ohioan? I'm in Idaho so we get confused all the time anyway. I'll drive 24 hours before I'll fly if given the choice. Preferably in one stretch (with like, 2 hour naps here and there) because I'm that kind of crazy.

It's a bit awkward to wear an eye mask for therapy. My autistic masking protests yet it helps me a lot. I can't put all that effort in to subconsciously masking by reading therapist. And that's how I learned no matter what I do, I'm spending lots of energy on trying to perceive what to do. For now.

A few weeks ago when I was having a migraine I took my med for it and went to therapy anyway. I brought an eye mask because my migraines are very light sensitive. After that therapy I noticed that I felt like it was very helpful for the therapy part not just the migraine.

Something I've been thinking about sharing. I learned something recently that helps me with therapy. I hadn't realized or noticed how much of masking is perceptive. Trying to read another person to evaluate what they're not saying. Even with a highly trusted therapist. Wearing an eye mask.

Me, oh I'm so so tired and I have to get up early tomorrow. Also me, how about I handwrite a multipage essay in one go starting at 1am. For the fun of it I haven't taken a college class in 5 years and I graduated twenty years ago.

But it would be consistent with brain studies showing muscle activation and other measurables occurring prior to a test subject being 'aware they made the decision'. It would be fairer to say, a machine could be as 'conscious as humans'. Then talking degrees of consciousness gets messy again.

If some form of ai has a theory of mind it could theorize about its own actions, and then self deceive into believing that its actions are conscious and deliberate. If it thought that it would attempt to convince us of its consciousness. That said, my definition kinda puts humans in a weak spot.

There may be real technical limitations to transformer model based approaches. Then the next issue is we don't have a clear and solid definition of consciousness. My theory of conscious is an entity has theory of mind and self deception. I believe machine learning can achieve that.

Cops lie especially in this admin and courts should not accept it so easily. Given what was presented to the judges and their own presumptions of regularity they ruled in a way that reflects presumed regularity and the claims they were given. As I said at the start, I hate it.

Sorry I may be unclear in what I've said. I do not personally accept the claims presented in the case as reflected in the judgement. They were presented to the court and some judges have accepted them. The dissent is more aligned with my personal views and I do wish the court outcome did so.

All my mythos of self fell away at once and suddenly. When my ideas of self gave way all that was left was my reality of self. Absent masks and implanted ideas of who I was and was supposed to be it made sense. I stopped living for ideas others had of me and decided to live for me.

Just a reminder to others in this thread. You can turn off auto play media in bluesky app settings. It's helpful to just leave it to not auto play. Someday there will be other awful news and video. A lot of people didn't want to see the kirking and did anyway, media out of MN too.

I hate it but reading even a little of the court document it makes sense. Holding someone in jail before trial because they are a flight risk, or danger to the community etc is normal. Given the statements quoted, it's not baseless. Folks, read the doc a get to the second page at least.

I'd be happy if I could just default block accounts by post/follower ratio or post/join as a per user config not sitewide. It would be much harder for bot accounts because they'd be trying to find a balance between enough followers to game it and few enough to fly under most user config.

Meant block spree since ban isn't really a thing on bsky unless it's a crap trust and safety admin banning a trans women.

I found a thread the other day full of accounts like that. Some ai video to appeal to leftists and bots upon bots upon bots. Accounts with 10x the followers as posts. Sub 2k posts with 20k+ followers kind of crap. Threads like that can be good places to go for a ban spree at least.

How can I (white transwoman) show up for trans men and boys? Is there any allyship asks? I usually just try to acknowledge trans people is more than women, and in any medical discussions acknowledge that trans men have a rougher surgical path.

I'm really glad for years of therapy helping with the PTSD. I can be upset and maybe experience it as real trauma triggering and pull myself out of it better. Yes, actual legit diagnosed PTSD. I'm not misusing therapy speak here.

I plan to vote early but that won't stop the ads. When 'politics' is literally targeting you for lawfare and stochastic terrorism it's not politics anymore. Politics is about *policy*. At least prop 1 ads are about policy and actual politics, it doesn't make constantly trying to trigger trauma ok.

I'm not sure what's worst this election cycle. Transphobes spewing nonsense. Literally an ad then <1min later YouTube decides to play the ad again but no skip for the minute this time. Or the 30 second unskippable trauma triggering abortion/choice ads. Triggered or targeted.

I need to look into the reticulum mu format and the general network stack structure. I want Usenet back. I want to write bbs doors, and I'd love a calibre integration for books. More ideas than time as always. No, using genai won't speed it up it would take just as long but be less interesting.

Under base 60 you have 5's and 10's also which most consider perfectly round. Yet nobody sells (or buys) 5 eggs or ten eggs. Which is 'right' 10 bagels, or 6 donuts? A gross of something is 12*12, 144 (60+60+24, those nice divisors again).

Claire @crystalclairenight.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I agree with the quoted. 2,3,4,6,12, etc are divisors of 60 and those are the roundest of it. Somehow base 60 works really well, we all use it for time after all. Plus a lot of base 60 divisors are pretty flexible and the math between that as base 10 is usually nicer than expected.

"They will ignore it anyway." Is compliance in advance with fascists. That's what that looks like. So let's stop accepting the lawlessness and start being mad. Mad at shit media (Chris Geidner does really good work not him), mad at people who won't vote, mad at people who accept what's happening.

I was almost certain what that was going to be but clicked anyway. Note to self, search on destination does not work. If I'd searched what I thought it was then checked the destination I'd have avoided it. Not nearly as bad in ascii at least.

My seasonal depression is summer when it's too hot to be outside, too bright to be outside, and generally too crowded outside to want to be there anyway. I see less sun in summer than any other season. Or at least I would prefer if that were the case. Summer! Everyone gaslighting that it's great!

I was just about to reply to someone with a pity attempt at witticism about programming. I got this screenshot instead which just.. chefs kiss. @bigbash.bsky.social
Screenshot of a bluesky reply to post box. The comment is about the state of a program being working or not working and unknown until observed. 
At the top of the screenshot is an error box from bluesky failing to load some module preventing the reply from succeeding.

The result of that would be sending competent trained veterans into civilian life. The folks loathe to go to war best understand it. The barbaric fools are ineffective blowhards. If they want to oust the thinkers and planners who know to avoid war then they're giving civilians their best troops.

No streaming platform allows snuff videos. Who wants this? Trump wants a snuff film. He's probably bored of vague bright spots in grainy video of fishermen disappearing. This is sick and revolting to anyone with decency.
