I remember saying years ago that I hated gender roles. What an ignoramus I was.

Gender roles are truly necessary in some parts of life.

Broke: Gender roles are good.

Woke: Gender roles are bad.

Bespoke: Gender roles are.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

Well said indeed.

Finally have a nice entourage in my class…teacher skips the fifteen minute break. No chit chat for me. 😑

What the hell YouTube movies? I’ve seen some of the movies hosted there have the wrong ratings. I’ve seen family friendly musicals have 18+ ratings for no apparent reason. And it sure was hell doesn’t match the ratings given to the movies (at least in my country).

Just a reminder that The Force Awakens is rated PG-13. Because that film’s so traumatic for children.

Anyway, hours later now, I go to the library specifically in the quiet section to get work done, and two people beside me are whispering a conversation.

Through my own personal fumbling, I unwittingly skipped breakfast. Hopefully I can last until my break at noon.

UPDATE: I got a crummy burrito between classes so I was fine.

I began dabbling in AI art this past September. It was a fun toy to play with those first few weeks, but it quickly lost its lustre. From the creative standpoint, I found it an incredibly low-effort, unchallenging, soulless exercise. Since then, I’ve only used AI-generated images as components in digital collages, as “pure” AI art does nothing for me as a creator.

I hope that’s how everyone else will feel, too. AI used to seem like the coolest thing ever to me, but as the luster of “cool new technology” faded away, it was replaced by pure existential dread. Already, the “human element” of art feels like it’s being replaced by soulless robotic perfection. We’re at an inflection point here, and we can either choose to preserve our humanity or sit back as AI lifts the burden of creativity off our shoulders. I sincerely hope we choose the former.

You know we won’t.

“FOMO” sounds stupid (the sound, not the meaning). It also sounds like a certain offensive word.

I don’t have FOMO. More like I’m so fucking tired of always missing out.

I feel you, man. More and more, I get the feeling I’ve been wasting my life. Almost every time I have an opportunity to do something fun with other people, I pass it up for some dumb reason and just stare at my phone while everyone else has fun without me.

Fortunately, I have been attempting to change that recently. A couple nights ago, I attended a party I wasn’t planning to go to, and it was the most fun experience I’ve had in a long time. If I can just remove the mental blocks that discourage me from going outside my comfort zone, I think my life will become way more satisfying.

Jesus, dude. That reminds me of how my mom talked whenever she had a seizure. You don’t just need a break, you need therapy. Maybe even medication.

Yeah, you seem to have some serious issues you need to address. Like, we just come here to let off steam but you’re really in a bad place and have been for a long time and need serious psychological treatment of some sort. Help won’t come on its own; you have to seek it out.

And I do share that dread in the face of AI. What is my art worth if a computer can pump it out instantly? I disagree about there being an impasse though. We can’t just choose to pretend the technology doesn’t exist. It’s there and always will be, and it’s only gonna get better. There’s no point being a Luddite.

Anyway, I’m here cuz my linguistics class I’m in bores me to tears. It’s strange cuz once I’m actually doing work for it I have no problem but I just can’t pay attention to these lectures.

Really though, the thing on my mind right now is frustration at just how little control I feel I have in the game of love. Just recently I’ve become great friends with this girl but she has a boyfriend so it’s never gonna be anything more. I’ve come to realize finding love dependent on the convergence of four different factors:

  • Do I like this girl?
  • Does she like me?
  • Can we spend time together?
  • Is she single.

Of those, only the third one do you ever have any semblance of control over, and even then it’s only partial. It’s just soulcrushing when you feel you’re doing everything correctly and still failing. I guess there’s always room for optimization, but still. What’s worse is I don’t feel like I’m getting any better at it. I’m still hitting the same roadblocks as I did years ago. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Take for example this girl in my class right now. I think she’s cute but she shows up right before the lecture with headphones on and leaves immediately after the same way. How do you even break through at that point?

So there was this test I had missed, but the teacher said I could take it later. She said several students had missed it so she’d give a retake for all of them. She said she’d get back to me on when it would be. Unfortunately she sent the update to me by email. I don’t check my email. Thus, I missed the retake. I’ve now missed a 15% test. Luckily, she’s a very nice teacher so she said she’ll try to work something out, but it’s looking bleak, and is quite frustrating.

And for those of you wondering why I don’t check my email it’s because afaict its primary purpose is spam. Seriously, no matter what I do, my inbox is always at least 80% spam. Why is Garage sending me emails? I’ve never shopped there in my life! This stuff should be illegal, or at least provide a return address so I can send them back with bombs attached.

I know I haven’t watched any and only similar stuff, but the point still stands.

Fuck. Porn. (No jokes please)

I’m a bit successful in staying off the internet, but those horrible memories still persist.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could delete bad memories at will?

Bad memories are some of the worst things ever.

My advice: Make enough good memories that most of the bad ones will just be forgotten about. Your brain doesn’t have unlimited storage space, it mainly remembers more recent stuff. It’s difficult to deliberately seek out positive experiences, but enough fun memories can improve your mood drastically.

A part of me agrees. A big part. On the other hand, we wouldn’t learn nothin’ if all our memories were positive and affirming.

I feel so paranoid, I always feel like I am in danger. I’m actually crying as I write this because I’m so paranoid. That’s why I started ranting. Because I wanted to pin my paranoia on something. I feel like society and “the establishment” is out to get me.

I stand by my initial assessment, Spuff: you need either therapy or medication. Possibly both. You clearly have issues on a psychological level, and no amount of ranting on forums is going to fix that.

Indeed. Thank you. I need to do both what you said and maybe include some meditation as well.

I also want to clear something up on my very first big rant.

In my first big rant I complained about sexualization of women in the media.

Nowadays I don’t mind some sexualization as long as it’s not Frank Miller levels of it. Sexualization is a spectrum and it’s all really about intent.

Yes, thank you. As a sex-positive feminist, I get pretty fucking sick to death of sex-negativity from “the left”.

Yes, thank you Superweapon VII for agreeing with me. The sad thing is, I was pressured by a religious group’s books to stop masturbation. Yet…I felt so happy abstaining…

Looking for electives in university registration be like
“Pick a class, any class.”
Pick a class
“No, not that one!”
No to mention advisors seem to actively do everything in their power to hide from you. Apparently History of China doesn’t count towards my History of Asia requirement and is counted as an elective and I can’t reach anyone to clarify. Fuck the university bureaucracy.

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.
