Dean Kamen is so cool to me, because he’s pretty unknown but has had such a positive impact on the world, especially with his STEM outreach to school kids. I got to meet him once briefly after the FRC national championship in 2014, he was going somewhere but still stopped to talk to us briefly and I thanked him and he signed my team hat.

Not what you’re asking for, but it’s the same core principle as irony poisoning, I think. And, I know that shit is real, because it’s happened to me. It was kind of a core life lesson to me to watch what I consume.

Isn’t what we call a marathon just the last short leg of his journey, and he ran like 100-150 miles?

Oh, you think you’re so tough, don’t you. Well, I cast PERMANENTLY ITCHY BUTTHOLE.

I mean, on the bright side, only two more years until I can kill myself!

I do appreciate the poetry posting

Cool! It shows as positive 3 to me. Interesting!

Ngl I can’t even think of anything that only costs a dollar nowadays

That was a crossover promotion with archer, a show about essentially a giant dickwad james bond, voiced by the same guy who voices bob

Ok…

I can’t deal with the guilt of burdening someone who cares about me with knowledge of how much I want to not exist. I know exactly how that burden of anxiety and worry feels and I can’t stand saddling someone I know and care about with it. It doesn’t matter whether they want me to or not, I just can’t deal with it. They’ll all want to help and they can’t and they’ll feel terrible they can’t help and I can’t put them in that place.

If I tell someone about suicidal ideation, confide in them, then if I ever do end up killikg myself it would wreck them that they couldn’t or didn’t do anything to help. Or at least, I would in their position. Fuck.

Yeah, I can still smell the lubricant we used in our high school machine shop. It was water based and we called it blue juice

If it’s something you have to be intimately close to smell it’s nice, if you sit down at the table next to me and I can smell it that’s rough

I mean, if I was getting fucked by someone and they were actively fantasizing about me being someone else, I would be upset, open relationship or no

Ok I like to take coconut oil, the kind that’s a solid at room temp, melt it, and let it solidify in ice cube trays at room temp. Then, when I go to put a plug in long term, I pop a lube cube in first. Easy long term lubing

Yeah, but the machine learning is the art, not what it produces. Don’t get me wrong, generative ai is super cool. However, justifiably or no, most people don’t see someone who just types prompts into generative ai as an artist.

It’s art without an artist. Or maybe rather more accurately it’s huge amounts of other peoples art put through a blender and reconstituted into a solid block of art product. Actually, yeah, it’s the equivalent of spam, the tinned meat product. It has its uses, but it doesn’t taste good to most people, and there are a few die hard fans.

Doing image editing/compositing/art yourself is just more genuine. It doesn’t have to be the adobe product, there’s tons of editors and art programs out there. Stumbling through gimp patching and editing a meme together gives the end result some charm imo. YMMV, but that’s how I see it and I think a lot of others do to. Where AI generated imagery shines is utilitarian areas. Generating tokens for npcs in ttrpgs, rapidly iterating through concepts for a design, that sort of thing.

Why can’t I have a partner who kills me in ritual sacrifice 😭

Ime, people who are curious about anal and want to try putting something up their butt aren’t big enough to take cucumbers (or at least they think so, you’re stretchier than you realize), and people who can take larger stuff have actual toys that are better in every way. Although, as improv dildos, they’re actually not bad imo. Better than most everything else I tried when I was a curious butt noob
