so that's something to being to my psychiatrist, but god i hope it stays intermittent, the treatment profile for long term catatonia is horrifying. it's basically "well if the daily 24mg lorazepam megadose isn't working, it's time to electrocute you into having some seizures"

the episode continued today and it was making me anxious about how long it would last so i took my anxiety attack rescue med and-

-it stopped. it was like my brain unfroze from a block of ice and i had energy again.

after taking a downer, lorazepam.

i accidentally passed the lorazepam challenge.

it's important to let your DMA controller off leash to go get some fresh air sometimes

i love to safely mem::forget a future that configured a DMA transaction and holds a drop guard to cancel

Transsexuals (those who transition / take HRT) are OUTNUMBERED by a majority of non-transitioners that constantly center their own perspectives and cissexual biases.

And we're tired of pretending that "uwu non-transitioners actually have it as hard as those who actually transition"

i was so mad when i read that "persistent fantasy of finally getting to actually have the nervous breakdown" is an actual documented common CPTSD symptom

If you're a cis woman and another cis person assumes you're trans they mean it negatively. If you're a cis woman and trans women assume you're trans it means you're the coolest bitch to ever live.

CATATONIA IS AN AUTISM SYMPTOM???

what do you fucking mean the thing where i'm doing mentally poorly and i start freezing in place randomly and flopping onto walls while walking around and speaking slowly and becoming irrationally angry is a recognized autism symptomology, i thought i was just feeling bad and being dramatic about it

just don't get a hand involved, or the whole polycule's gonna get roasted for having an outbreak of the plague reserved for toddlers and undergraduates

alright then you better learn to pull 18 hour days weaving because we're not automating textiles until we achieve full global communism. chop chop, this extended family unit isn't going to clothe itself.

yes, which is a point which you would see is already encoded in the post i wrote if you weren't a fucking 3-cue-reading moron.

it's neat when you see a post that you could show to the average person from literally every culture that has ever existed over the past tens of millenia, and they would all laugh at it. that's impressive unifying discourse right there.

management wants this so bad because they hate when developers grow backbones and manage to carve out a good review culture amidst the time crunch

another thing it would help to say out loud: a lot of us understandably have extreme fear about rape early in recovery, and yes it can do extreme damage.

but also, most surgeons have seen a handful of those cases.

god forbid it happens, you won't be the first and your surgeon won't be clueless.

had very similar thoughts before my surgery, that persisted through recovery.

for me, these thoughts started to subside when i was able to start being sexually active again - the process of reintegrating this new organ as a true part of my body dashed fears it was a "vulnerability." it's just Me.

immediate halving of the percentage of modern humans descended from genghis khan because half his busy schedule was spent on ancient tgirls with huge racks instead

there's no archeological evidence that anybody figured out the horse piss thing before modern chemistry, which means you could make an extremely funny edit to all of human history with one well-placed time machine trip

"woman who would be anprim if it wasn't for how much she loves drugs" is a fascinating new type of person to consider

oh no trans people are great in her world because we use drugs and her literal dissertation is on how using drugs is abolitionist

she may be disappointed to learn that HRT doesn't send us on psychedelic explorations of liberatory theory, it just makes our bodies work in the normal boring way

in that article she keeps reposting she claims "textiles were perfected 4000 years ago" which i guess means her idea of perfection is "women are enslaved to make their household's clothes because that's the only way anyone who isn't rich is getting clothed"

"well why are you using the dependency's dev branch" it's huge and gets multiple bugfixes per day, some of which i fucking wrote.

based on the quantity of such fixes, one might assume there are others in the same situation. nahhhh

switching to a fucking path dependency to get your dumb shit to work because you think unmerged PRs are where you store the changes you want in your next release πŸ™„

10.03.2026 17:30 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

if you have a library that needs to change one line of code to repair compatibility with a critical dependency that has a breaking API change on its dev branch, why would you not also. put that repair on your dev branch.

"we won't merge the PR until there's an upstream release" well fuck me i guess

do i look like an idiot who doesn't already know all of that? learn the difference between descriptive and prescriptive statements.

if we automate so much stuff that we run out of jobs that are necessary for society, that's fine. people can go be poets or whatever. or do nothing.

that is a success state, assuming we provide for everyone.

if anyone in this thread is a degrowth moron, it's doctor sustainability up there. you're projecting shit onto me.

producing food energy-efficiently means energy-efficiently feeding everyone.

they are also freed up for more useful labor, but that's secondary; first, everyone deserves to eat.

Regarding binary vs decimal prefixes, and the former's daft similar naming to the (already well established) latter.

Hey doctor sustainability, what's the environmental impact of doing the same agricultural work with a machine powered by renewable energy vs. hundreds of humans powered by yet more agriculture (who are also increasing demand on the energy/plastic intensive medical system b/c it destroys bodies)

out with mechatronics engineers who come from EE/MechE programs and learn the application field on the job, in with mechatronics engineers trained up from the application field
