I sort of am, because I’ve been kind of forced into the role, being the only person in my immediate family and one of relatively few in my extended family to have left the Catholic Church. I have a hard time really vocally trying to break patterns, since I’m the “outsider”. But I do what I can to make sure that I don’t replicate those negative patterns
Carmel through Broad Ripple is really nice and totally safe. It starts to get less nice around the fairgrounds and 38th, but at this time of the year, in daylight and in a group, I think it would be perfectly safe

I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.
Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.

Neat, thanks!
I didn’t either! ActivityPub came out in 2018, what was Fediverse before ActivityPub?
Oh, absolutely. As my instructor put it, if you cause an arc flash and are killed instantly, you got off lucky. Because if you survive, your body will be severely damaged for the rest of your life.
Those trainings put the fear into you for good reason. I don’t fuck with high voltage at all, shit is way too scary for me.
And that arc flash’s temperature is several times hotter than the surface of the sun. It’s hot enough to instantly vaporize any surrounding metal, meaning that if you manage to survive being near an arc flash, there’s a chance that you’ll end up with tiny metal shards in your lungs, when they cool down after you breathe them in. Arc flashes are scary stuff.
Very confused about how I went from being a cishet conservative Catholic guy to an atheist bisexual trans woman. So, probably not stoked about that.
Aside from that, probably pretty happy! I’ve got a good job and a kickass wife. I have a dog and friends and a little garden. Those were all things I wanted in my future even when I was 15, and here we are!
Hey, please don’t use ableist slurs. It’s easy to criticize conservatives without doing so.
They say they’re disbanding because they feel that the issue is now solvable via domestic politics. That seems like a good thing to me
Yeah, I didn’t particularly like that doctor. After I had a bad bout of depression, she started treating me like I was an addict drug-seeking, even though I used my meds at work and never used cannabis at work because, you know, rules and stuff.
I have a hard time believing that she was that critical of prescribing to people who use alcohol on a regular basis.
Having them was really nice. I had such an easier time staying on top of my health and fitness, the tidiness of my home, getting my work done, and working on hobbies. I didn’t love feeling drained at the end of the day when I crashed, but on balance, it was an improvement to my life.
Then there was a shortage, so I couldn’t get it, and my doctor said that she wouldn’t prescribe it for me any more anyway, until I stopped using cannabis (even though it’s legal here). And now my new doctor can’t get any of my diagnosis paperwork and doesn’t want to prescribe it until I get tested again.
It’s like the process for getting ADHD meds is uniquely designed to be difficult to navigate for people with ADHD.
Cool! Still not gonna put all my eggs in the fascist-sympathetic basket
I’ve had a few. I have one to sync with my Pocket notes that I give tags. I use one for my general notes. I’ve used one as a research space for a podcast, and I plan to start one soon to do world building for my TTRPG and fiction settings
Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from 2023, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.
