Uh, let's see; how to distill the idea of 'me' ... 'I'm an 80's kid that never grew up' sums it up. I like writing, gaming, science, maths, music electronics, art, anime, messing around with AI and sailing my decrepit sailboat like a dirty river pirate.

Really leaning toward them hot model trajectories at the moment.

That's adorable... But probably annoying sometimes.

The world is shuddering into a new age; one not of glory and progress, but of greed and decline. I take solace in the inevitable truth; the axiom that sows the seeds of hope, the harbinger of better times: evil's greatest flaw is that it always over reaches, it always eats its own tail.

It's your pleasure to have the conversation a about why there are no answers I guess. Perfect ice breaker.

Probably some stuff; but that's okay. I still get a pounding heart in my chest when I play competitive games, like first person shooters, or even chess. Also when public speaking, or when speaking to a foreigner and trying desperately not to mess up my hastily memorized sentence. How'd it go btw?

Good morning from Varadero. Probably my last chance to get a tropical vacation before the tinderbox of current global politics makes it completely impractical.

I totally agree. When I was younger I used to scoff at people who complained of PTSD who had spent zero time in combat. I realized that sympathetic nervous system reactions don't care what society thinks is worth freaking out about; it just does its job. Got bullied? Got Shot at? Same thing.

As an Afghan veteran I have legally and ethically ended the lives of people who did not want die. Legality and ethics are not identical. Killing in war is legal; by war principles, ethical. Ethics are shaped by societal consensus; what we collectively define as just.

Dear Science Writers/Communicators For the love of logic, stop saying "Time is an illusion." If time is an illusion, so is space, causality, and everything else. Time is measurable, affects reality(GPS, entropy) and follows consistent cause/effect. Calling it an illusion is a logical fallacy.

Well the universe seems poised to end my pitiful existence. I feel like death; but on the bright side, the fever dreams have inadvertently cured my writer's block!

I hate to be the *pushes glasses up the bridge of his nose* "Actually" guy here, but I'm rather confident this is not a real image. Seems to me it is a render of some kind. But I'm just a random internet person so ...

So you go to the laptop in your apartment and have tasks to complete, but can't allow other players to figure out who you are and where you live. If they find out, you'll get murdered. But they can't do it overtly, so there would be a lot of subterfuge, stealth and guile.

I have this MP game concept where you start in your household and you're an operative that has tasks given to you via email and they are rated by overtness required to complete them because all other players are trying to identify each other and assassinate each other.

I mean, affordable living if you had the skill and experience to work the land and construct a home from scratch. Pioneers and homesteaders that settled the west of North America were some of the hardest people I could imagine aside from the outliers like ... Albert Johnson, the mad trapper.

Yeah this whole situation is a sad proof that the majority of America is utterly disconnected from reality, ignorant and easily fooled. What a shame that the most powerful western nation has devolved to such a disgusting low. I truly feel for everyone caught in the collateral damage of Trump's BS.

This is the clearest photo ever taken of Venus. 🔭 🧪
This is a cropped, close-up image of the planet Venus, taken by the Parker Solar Probe’s WISPR instrument. The image shows a crescent Venus against the black backdrop of space, with the edge of the planetary limb clearly defined. The crescent is illuminated by sunlight, transitioning from a bright, almost white glow at the top right edge to a subtle, golden yellow that dominates the majority of the illuminated area, before fading into the darkness of the planet's night side at the bottom left. The distinct variations in brightness and texture across the crescent suggest cloud formations or atmospheric layers. A bright, flaring light source is visible at the top right corner, likely the Sun, which contributes to the illumination of the crescent. The overall composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the luminous crescent and the surrounding darkness, highlighting the curvature and celestial context of Venus.

Commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, parenthesis or other brackets and apostrophes are the nails and planks of the rickety ass bridge my train of thought begrudgingly crosses to reach the long-winded conclusion at the highly anticipated period.

I was always frustrated losing marks for run-on sentences, but I believe a sentence should run on if it serves the plot or a literary purpose—language isn’t just about rules; it’s about rhythm, flow, and meaning.

Pfft, chump numbers. My favorite number is |{ x ∈ ℝ ∣ 1 < x < 2 }| = 𝔠 Or the uncountable infinity between 1 and 2. It's a smaller infinity than the power set of real numbers, but I'm not THAT greedy.

You aren't lying. I carry my phone in my front left pocket at home, but my top left breast pocket at work. I get ghost vibrations in both locations when my phone isn't even on me.

It's okay. Lots of other people, including some who follow you no doubt, are always thinking the same thing. Doesn't work for everyone but I "Fake it till I make it." And just sort of try to ignore the second guessing internal dialogue.

It's okay. At least 500 people know now. What color were they?
