i have this sometimes, either the memories are vivid a bit too long (and vaguely plausible, like your parents dying) and i have to just sit there for a bit waiting for my brain to sort out if it’s real or a dream, or things don’t quite exit the dream state right and everything just feels wrong somehow, which is fucking miserable and means i have to just try to fall back asleep so the brain can reset things and wake up properly.

the brain is a hodgepodge of neurons evolved over a stupendous amount of time to deal with so many different things throughout the timeline of our ancestors, i think it’s perfectly reasonable to just assume memories of dreams are left around in some neurons and when the same processes start before falling asleep the remaining parts of the memories just happen to get accessed again.

isn’t the problem specifically that some people just can’t really do intuitive math for small numbers? like all through school everyone else just breezed through memorizing the multiplication tables and i just sat there manually adding numbers together and felt so fucking stupid and worthless in math class

funy pengin

even on a less well-maintained system it’s probably not going to be the kernel having a freakout, the kernel is going to be just fine while something else shits itself (probably graphics drivers on a desktop tbh, my vega 10 loves to vomit onto the screen and pass out)

and even then you can at least buy some tippex to censor things, and if you want to get advanced i’m sure there are products that straight up remove the ink from the paper.

I know there are specific extra hard erasers for removing pen ink

or, you know, just put a black bar over it so the information is just completely gone from the image?

scribbling over is never going to actually work, the information is still there for anyone who wants to extract it. It’s like shouting over someone instead of just getting them to shut up.

it astounds me that people don’t do this, really

like i tend to always pay attention to how nice a property looks when i’m travelling past it, and good god it looks so much more enjoyable when you have a bunch of shade and greenery around you!

Properties without some sort of tree/hedge wall surrounding it out in the open just look absolutely miserable and trigger a long dormant part of my brain that fears being picked off by a giant bird.

looks like hell, actually

utterly lonely and desolate, no one to help you if you get a health issue, no amenities anywhere nearby, nowhere to take a walk, etc etc etc

actually more accurately it looks like purgatory, where you await your eternal judgement.

man if your clothes look dragged through bushes i think you need to reconsider your washing and storage routine, my clothes just have minor creases and the fanciest part of my routine is rolling things up before stuffing them in a drawer.

why do wrinkly clothes matter in the least? who gives a flying fuck about it?

do you polish your shoes too? i personally don’t want to feel like a ken doll

you implying that’s bad?

as a swede i am legally obligated to vomit at the idea of school uniforms

perhaps one day humanity will finally learn that people are different, and forcing everyone to do exactly the same things will never work out well for either party.

and it’s not just that it makes people miserable and maybe even actually harms them, it’s also just an inefficient use of resources!

i mean psilocybin (administered by a professional and in a safe environment) is actually documented to work for some people, so maybe hold out for that instead of drugs that may well be 50% drain cleaner depending on where you get it?

i like the idea that high society women would make breakfast, maybe they’d play at it but the actual breakfast would be made by lower class servants.

i mean you can apply makeup that doesn’t look like a mask, it’s the old adage of “if you’re not aware of it, it’s done right”

people who seriously think stuff like that is real don’t subscribe to the same model of reality as we do, they just merrily invent models to describe things in whatever way enables their delusions.

they don’t think of radio as anything so fancy as waves or particles, it’s just a nebulous concept that works however they need it to for them to justify their insane beliefs.
