Aneristic Illusions / Happy Friends
Last post by ein Gefrorener Würfel - March 30, 2024, 08:59:35 PMI visited a friend today. Her passion is flying and when I saw her on the airfield walking to the plan she is about to fly into the sky I was happy because she was happy.
Here is some text that describes something similar to this:

Here is some text that describes something similar to this:
QuoteI find it immensely comforting seeing a person being happy.
Today I finally managed to visit a good friend while she was doing what she enjoys. I never saw her this happy for such a long time.
Sure, I experienced her happiness on many occasions, but not to this extend.
It makes me glad to see her in this state.
We should do this more often.
Follow our friends to their happy place.
Be happy because they are happy.

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Re: On This Day in History
Last post by Brother Mythos - March 30, 2024, 05:46:30 AMMarch 30, 2023 - TFG Was Indicted for the First Time
One year ago today, TFG became the first U.S. president to ever be indicted for criminal charges. The former POTUS was charged with thirty-four (34) felony counts in New York, New York. This first round of criminal charges involved hush money payments to both a porn star and a Playboy model, making false statements, falsification of business records, and, of course, tax fraud. In other words, all just SOPs for TFG.
And, once again, this person is the Republicult's™ best and current candidate for the next POTUS, and the Leader of the Free World (LFW). Because, 'Merica.

Literate Chaotic / Chop Suey
Last post by ein Gefrorener Würfel - March 28, 2024, 10:01:28 PMCN: It's about suicide
Thoughts from one of those who remain
Thoughts from one of those who remain
QuoteChop Suey
Suicide is a difficult topic. What is our issue with it? Are we afraid that we will die? Is it the lost time spent with the other person? The potential for good memories?
Eris attaches no sin to a self chosen death. So the act, in itself, shouldn't bring us sorrow.
Often, it's the circumstances that lead to this end. We hear or read the story and think of all the possible ways where the plot could have taken a different route. How we could have made a difference, if we had just known how the future would play out.
But we didn't.
We have to live on.
Suffering has been lessened. There might have been better outcomes, this might be the least bad one.
I don't know.

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Re: An Open Letter to TGRR
Last post by Pergamos - March 27, 2024, 06:30:34 PMI certainly enjoyed meeting Roger on the other side of the screen. Hearing the actual laugh added context, made the online absurdity that much deeper, richer. I haven't been very good at keeping up any sort of connection, but I've watched exciting adventures with companies that might end the world, or just make it considerably worse, and I definitely wish him the best.

Techmology and Scientism / Re: The Tech Forum
Last post by Brother Mythos - March 27, 2024, 06:30:21 PMWe have the techmology.
"Poopspotting: How AI and satellites can detect illegal manure spreading in Wisconsin"
As per this article:
"After a fresh February snow, a satellite about the size of a shoebox, busy snapping photographs as it circuited the planet at 17,000 miles per hour, captured something dark in Wisconsin.
About 56 tons of livestock bedding and manure had been spread atop Mark Zinke's frozen alfalfa field.
The image, beamed down to the surface, eventually appeared on the computers of Stanford University researchers, who relayed it to the offices of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
A staff member looked it over. He decided it was noteworthy and passed along the information to another employee in a nearby city.
Zinke, a Brownsville dairy farmer who cares for a herd of more than 1,300 cows, had forgotten about the whole thing until he later heard from the agency."
So, that's what all of those billions of dollars spent on the Space Race, and AI Development was all about! Now we have the techmology to see illegally dumped manure from outer space, clearly identify it, and report it to a meat-based intelligence unit (MBIU) who then reports it to the local authorized manure police department (MPD).
I wonder how long it will be before the MBIU, an obvious weak link, is replaced by AI.

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Re: Open Bar: Curbside Pickup ...
Last post by altered - March 26, 2024, 07:59:58 AMTime's basically up. I've been trying, but I hit a wall and tonight I realized I was woefully optimistic. Hilariously optimistic.
I have a week to go and nowhere to jump to next.
I'll just copy-paste my retrospective on the life I have lived from elsewhere. This world doesn't deserve more effort from me.
Copy-paste begins below.
It's done. I'd say it's been good, but this life has been miserable for me. Everything I ever interacted with went to shit before my very eyes. I was forced to struggle for barebones animal survival from adulthood to death. I will be dead at half the age someone like me should. I saw a lot of things, fell in love with ideas and people, and watched everyone i care about suffer and wither away. And now I get to watch the precious few I have left mourn me before I'm even gone. The world is in shambles and has been in freefall since as early as I remember. I had joy, only to have it repeatedly stolen from me. I got partners, and they all left or died or ended up being pieces of shit (not my most recent ex, but a much earlier one). I got HRT and then lost healthcare after just long enough to see the start of the changes. I went through police violence and sexual assault. I have experienced so much medical suffering. I had more smear campaigns launched against me than anyone with my kind of profile ever should.
People have asked me for years now why I'm so bitter, angry, why I lash out, why I hate so much of this world and why I can't just shut the fuck up.
Look at the legacy of my life: an endless parade of trauma, abandonment, disappointment and suffering, capped by one last hurrah for unrewarded sacrifice, ableism and The Free Fucking Market.
If you can say you wouldn't be mad, I wish you the worst.

Techmology and Scientism / Re: The Infinity Burial Suit T...
Last post by Brother Mythos - March 25, 2024, 08:16:25 AMI'm not enthusiastic about this "approved" alternative burial method.
"Human composting as alternative to burial and cremation gets final approval by Delaware lawmakers"
As per this article:
"Senate sponsor Laura Sturgeon said natural organic reduction is a "sophisticated process" that uses cutting-edge technology and engineering to accelerate the process of turning a human body into soil.
"This choice may not be for everyone, but we can respect those who wish to turn their bodies into soil by allowing this sustainable death care option to be available in Delaware," Sturgeon said.
If the bill is enacted into law, state officials would have up to a year to develop specific regulations.
The organic reduction process involves putting a body into a large tank that also holds straw, wood chips or other natural materials for about 30 days. The human remains and organic materials would mix with warm air and be periodically turned until the body is reduced to a soil-like material that can then be given to the dead person's family."
Actually, this "approved" burial method creeps me out. It strikes me as being way to close to what I'd expect to happen in a Soylent Green Processing Facility. But, that's just me.
