iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Welcome to getting old. My knee's been problematic for the last week and I'm... worried that I might have to actually see a doctor. And the doctor will send me to a specialist. And then the specialist will tell me that it's not going to get fixed with some stretching and careful exercise.

*re-reads the post* To be clear, this isn't on them. They shipped to the address I'd provided so many eons ago. It's my fault, I wasn't paying attention. Yes, I've now updated the address. I placed another order, after all.

It's one of the reasons I have trouble watching a lot of hentai and some anime. I mean, physics violations happen in visual storytelling all the time, but this is EGREGIOUS. To me, the sexiness is negative. I find it repelling. YMMV.

*sigh* You'd think I'd know to check that, but it's not like it comes up a lot. It's literally been, what, a decade since we moved? And, obviously, I'm not in the habit of ordering stuff from AliExpress. It was under $20 so I just re-ordered.

Me: *buys something from AliExpress for the first time in god-knows-how-long* AE shipper: *delivered at front door* Me: There's nothing here Me: *checks order address* Oh shit. It went to my old address. Again.

I wasn't even trying to guess your age, 40 was arbitrary. But OK, it's the Internet. You could be ANY age. You could be 40 years older. I apologize for any insult.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

a) I'm sure you're not the only person for whom I've ever passed on casually encountered information. Some of them were probably younger. b) That wasn't supposed to be taken as literal and accurate. My first impulse was to say "50" but I thought that might be too much.

I don't know what this idiot is on about. It's MUCH more important for cops to use ALPRs to stalk exes and intended paramours than for highway safety systems to work properly. I don't know about you, but _I_ feel safer.

Ah, there we go. Why didn't I see your replies before? Don't answer that, probably just didn't notice. Thanks!

Not really complaining, I'll wait... just Jonesing. If I were smart I'd move the link and get on with my life, but it's more fun this way. 😁 Also figure every mention might get another subscriber. You never know. 😉

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

What's amazing is that I know it. I hardly even watch anime. Burned out on it when I was much younger. But, eh, you get old, you learn stuff in spite of yourself. Chance encounter a term, look it up out of curiosity, and next thing you know you're lecturing people 40 years younger on it. 🤷‍♀️

Hah hah, that's great. Yeah, I've never seen boobs do that. Of course, I've never pinned a woman to the ground and shot zombies over her with a high-powered rifle, either. I thought Gainaxing was just when they move out of sync, but apparently it's any ridiculous movement.

The fun part is when I return to a project that was on hold for a while and I'm all like "*sigh* I need to write the firmware now" and I get into the directory and there's already firmware there.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

My mind is going... I can feel it... Turns out we got 3 of those parts in April and I completely forgot and had poor Kao fighting the manufacturer over backorders and... ... I love it when I realize I've already done something that needs doing, but sometimes I need realize it sooner.

Morals do not apply. Ethics do not apply. Claude is not a person, it's a computer program you've anthropomorphized. It's not alive. Your dog needs more consideration. The cockroaches in your garage deserve more consideration. Get your fucking head out of your fucking ass.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Just to be clear: If there ever is an actual sentient, self-aware artificial intelligence, I agree that we should at least CONSIDER the morals of abusing or killing them. What we have right now is a series of scripts backed by tons of data. It's Eliza with a hard-on.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Are you talking about Gainaxing? Because I consider that an affront to reality even worse than every woman in anime having breasts larger than medicine balls. Haven't seen High School of the Dead so I'm just guessing here.

One of the side effects (there are many) of one of the drugs I take (there are few so far) is vivid dreams. One of the side effects of melatonin is vivid dreams. If I pop a melatonin to help me sleep... ...sometimes I wake up, take stock for a second, and then yell WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

Mink's still my favorite, but Lenore is pretty hot, not gonna lie. I'm with Casper on this one. Kate, I have a piece of commissioned art of Mink. I don't remember the usage terms. Is it OK if I post it here?

Every Wednesday I reflexively click on my link to Widdershins and it's finished... ...and I've just finished re-reading Darken. I need my weekly hit of @katedrawscomics.bsky.social!

I was not aware that large language models had egos to flatter. My mistake.

Could you come to my house? I'm missing two tablet styluses.

I should know better, the grammar correction in Microsoft stuff keeps telling me to use simpler phrasing..."I did that on purpose for emphasis, you stupid piece of crap" or "That's stupid, it COMPLETELY changes the meaning of the sentence". Or "That's just how I talk." FOAD Microsoft.

I reflexively type "any more" myself, and I'm a Murrican. And I don't think Pete is smart enough to know the difference. If it's not about... OK, sorry, rant aborted. I am not his biggest fan. I wasn't aware that "anymore" was an American construct, I just thought I was illiterate.

Jeffrey Nonken @jnork.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Nope. I don't really do art per se, I have zero talent and less skill. I use GIMP for raster editing and Inkscape for vector editing. Just making self-deprecating dad jokes. But I am aware of how expensive Photoshop is and appreciate that there are alternatives.

I'm old and sedentary so I have neither muscle nor memory.

I have been waiting SO LONG to use this meme.

I'm amazed by people who lose weight w exercise. When I exercise nothing happens bc my DNA still thinks I'm a European peasant. So it's like "Oh! Are we running from the English again, lass? Dinnae ye worry: we'll keep ye plump as a partridge to outlast the murderous bastards!

Reminds me of a George Carlin skit where he talks about a man, stopped at a traffic light, saving people's lives by deciding not to run over them in the crosswalk. "Two People Saved; Man Changes Mind"

Frank Gorshin was the best ever Riddler and Eartha Kitt was the best ever Catwoman and I will die on that hill.
