I've been there, though not with the help of AI; just good old fashioned schizophrenia. But like, psychosis is a horrifying state to be in, and if these machines can actually trigger it in otherwise healthy people, yeah, maybe we should put a stop to it maybe? I already wasn't a fan of AI, but this may tip me over into the 'hates AI' club.

Oxygen Not Included has toilets and people shitting the floor if they can't get to one. Abiotic Factor has a pooping mini game you have to play when you use the toilet, which is not super often but more so than I'd like.
Fucking fuck fucking fucker fuck! What is this government's problem with allowing people to live? I guess we're only killing off the non-workers, so only the worthless people, right? Except, y'know, CEOs and landlords who don't work either, but they make plenty of money and don't have to worry about Medicaid. Burn this fucking thing to the ground!
US: constantly threatens to undermine and destroy China Also US: Why would China spy on us??
I think a lot of conservatives have this idea that the state, on average, is corrupt and wicked, and the force acting towards society's betterment is actually the corporations. When I was more in that world, they would talk about the government pushing 'political correctness' and some weak businesses were caving (like when Burger King did that rainbow burger special; that was a big deal to people around me) but brave business leaders who took a stand against this were the ones improving society. But they had a lot of other contradictory beliefs about the state. Like, the Patriot Act is an invasion of privacy, but it stops terrorists and if I have nothing to hide... Or the government is corrupt and evil, but if I vote hard enough maybe that'll fix it. I'm starting to realize the people around me have not incorrect politics, but completely incoherent ones.
Retvrn to packet radio. Please... it's so lonely being, like, the last gal doing it
Is that the shit where they thought they could spontaneously create life e.g. by putting straw in a cellar and miraculously rats will spring from nothing? Or was that the lumeniferous ether or something? My biology class talked about some weird shit in historical theories.
Feeling very isolated presently. My IRL friends are always on the other end of a phone; there's hardly any time to see them in-person. And sometimes we go a long time without texting. My brain is too much of a mess to go out and meet people. I'm almost always afraid if not straight up paranoid, so it's hard to establish connections with people. I got into ham radio, but it's hard to bring myself to talk over the radio, and the things that interest me more like packet radio and radio BBSes and such are dead as no one does that anymore. Try to go online to find people who do it, and I'm met with "just use the internet." I don't like online games usually because people can be super toxic, and I'm too soft to handle that usually. Even on here I get nervous and disappear for weeks or longer, and nobody's even been mean to me on here.
Got my antipsychotic injection today. Been a rough week, but now I can sleep and think again.
I tried nepotism and all I got was a once-a-week office-cleaning job where I get $400 that I split with my sibling because my body's too shitty to do the whole thing by myself.
Oof. Sorry, comrade. Must be tough coming from nominal allies.
I just went back to Crimew's post and started looking at some of those.
