I've never tried mind altering stuff like lsd etc. I more often get anxiety dreams and nightmares. Can't remember the last pleasant dream I've had that wasn't just a plain black out. So yeah, I don't trust my brain would let me go on a happy trip lol

I feel this picture in my bones

I kinda sorta wish I could let all my worries go, fall asleep and never wake up again... Oh wait

dismantling our democracy in exchange for cheap egg but now there is no egg anywhere egg and democracy are both gone

I'm so old, I remember when Obama signing ONE executive order was tyranny

living nightmare

I read the manwha (years ago), got impatient and read the books, saw the anime up till most recent episode, got impatient and started back reading manwha last night

January has been a hell of a year

My depression and introversion is dialed all the fk way up this past week and it's not easing up. I would like to take a week off and leave my brain on ice in deep hibernation with the occasional pour of warm water to rinse it.

Sigh in hindsight I played a lot of great games growing up. PC: cod, battlefield, americas army, ballistics, need for speed, age of empires, dungeon siege, deus ex, fallout, bioshock. Heck maybe even Gaia online, maple story and runescape, Duke nukem and G-nome were more than decent for their time

I miss playing overwatch. I miss having the nights and energy Marvel rivals feels like I'm playing a colorful cartoon like teen titans go, and sometimes I just be dying out of the blue. Overwatch felt like teen titans or young justice in comparison. Somehow I was less prone to dying there too.

I'm prob like 3 bad steps away from resorting to squatting on govt land somewhere, setting up like a trailer home/Amazon prebuilt house and doing this

I'm looking for a moisturizer that hides the fact that I've been tired since 2016.

Gemini hit me with Chad nackers and deepseek gave me Ben Collins. Maybe I should be reconsidering that 20 bucks a month I'm spending on gemini 👀

The only celebrity drama I follow is Elmo's beef with that rock

Them: Wtf is wrong with you? Me: You mean like today or in general?

Finally watched Solo Leveling. It's everything I wanted SAO to be. Rad as hell.

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

I guess deepseek is decent when using the 671B param version esp with web search (chat.deepseek.com) I've been using the 32B qwen2 and 8B llama distill variants locally and it's been underwhelming. Tested locally with RAG via openweb-ui +deepseek, but I find notebooklm.google.com superior still.

I was so excited to try out the new deepseek R1 model (running it locally). I grabbed a 14B param version to start off with and ran the question that tends to break a bunch of LLMs: how many rs are in strawberry? Needless to say, despite all the hype and excitement around it, I remain hearbroken

Just watched The Grey with some friends and I genuinely feel bad that Liam Neeson had to take up that role. He did a decent job holding that movie together up until that cliff scene that broke physics

Ironic that we live in the information/technology age. I can't help but feel we're still knee deep in some vast levels of ignorance or a state of wanting to be misinformed =(

I blame the power electronics engineers who have yet to realize they could switch over to USB-c and supplying a generic USB-c block with enough wattage to support 15W

Can we go to one of the timelines where one of the female candidates won? I just want to see something.

I dunno, sometimes I feel like I’m never gonna become an oligarch 😔

Kicking it off with some ashwagandha to see if it'll help. I've never tried the stuff but am hoping for a miracle here, so I'm experimenting around with what I can add to my vitamin routine

Almost everyday I imagine if I was transplanted into some older millenia what would bring to the table, and despite the years of engineering, I realize, technologically, I dont think I'd be able to fabricate anything as intricate as this. Like I've yet to even figure out recognizing + mining silicon

I'd like God to give the demographics of how much of these users have souls (vs how much are bots). I've yet to be convinced I'm not in a dead internet

I have some cringe memories of me when I was like 12-14 doing weird body language like this and now I've to relive it through Mr boosted goofy over here

My most recent conspiracy theory is that a tiktok ban was orchestrated for Trump so that he would unban it and win a little appeal over the masses. Easy to trigger under the guise of Chinese app = bad, and what easier way to broaden the base by taking something away and swooping in to restore it

Day 1 didn't even hit and we got Trump coin. I was feeling nervous recently since I might be getting myself into a potential rug pull (stock related), But dam is America about to start off 2025 presidency with a rug pull 👀 I guess it's par for the course given a certain someone's character.. =(

i'm losing it

I was trying to explain and promise to my friends/neighbors that I'm not suicidal and I won't kms so dw and that I also don't require reassurance/validations But I'ma never buy a gun cause ima fosho shoot myself in the head cause since I was 7 I been critical of societies/nihilistic + antinatalist

I ended up setting up and replaying a bunch of old games I tried on the pc in the late 90s. G-nome, doom, Duke nukem, ballistics, kotor, deus ex. I wanna say while we came a long way and graphics can be a lot more elaborate now, at the same time we stagnated in some way I can't put my finger on.
