I don't know if it's that I'm getting older or if it's that I'm getting bigger, but I've recently been discovering the extent to which one can sleep incorrectly. It seems unfair

@rericreuss.bsky.social Are there opportunities for early playtesting of new SI content in the Somerville area? I know the republishing has slowed development, but if you're making a list for local early-stage playtesters, I'd love to be on it

This was fun, but why no double jeopardy round? It would have allowed the writers a chance to spread out the YouTube specific questions and see how people did with more challenging general interest stuff.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Today I'm thinking about frog rain. I wonder what it's like to be one of the frogs that gets swept up into the air by a water spout. Are you afraid? Is it exciting? Does the excitement wear off once you're up there for long enough? Can you tell that you're falling before you hit the ground?

When I was a kid, I had many of the Dilbert anthology books. They came with forwards that were written with a similar tone and cadence, and I enjoyed those too. I feel like it's a nicely frank, humorist style. To me it's kind of like that Justin Roiland discourse--sometimes bad people make us smile.

I think there's an odd effect of the AI bubble--I personally have felt way more inspired and creative recently. It's strange--you'd think that the fact that a computer could create music and art would somehow be discouraging. Instead, I feel an almost spiteful drive to create as much as possible.

because it seems to me that if you accept the basic premise that people can have real psychological ailments that we should treat with medical seriousness, these states could also have a real effect on our physiological well-being and should be treated with that same seriousness. (2/?)

Thinking about the concept of psychosomatic ailments this morning. I've had conversations with people in the past where they called people's real expressed sensations and distress 'psychosomatic' with the same dismissiveness as though they were calling it 'fake'. This confused me at the time, (1/?)
