Another hot August week, another day my AC breaks down and I can't cool my apartment off I guess I'm at least fortunate this didn't happen in the winter But I'm also tired of it breaking down like this
now am i supposed to connect with matches on a humanistic level or attempt to own them with autistic irony
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>1058482 oof hope you got alternative ways to beat the heat
Anno
>>1058485 Yeah it's called "being inhumanely good at tolerating heat" I mean, I'm definitely not content here But as far as comfort goes, I'm not uncomfortable There just isn't really much I can do without some set-up, and I discovered the AC was broken pretty late on a Sunday afternoon So most places are closed or closing right about that time
Anno
The worst part is the sweat that gathers like at the back of my neck My hair is thick and long so there's not much to do about that

have you done all the requisite stuff like blocking off windows and filling your tub with cold water thats what my parents do at the ACless house
sounds about right longest I've done was 10 days makes you goofy

i mean as long as you're getting your glucose and some basic necessary stuff like thiamine 10 or 5 or 15 are all about the same it's just hard with iron whether you take it or you don't since it's hard on the system to metabolize
月
the GI stasis is unpleasant too so i dont personally see a point going any longer than 3 or 4 days for me im sure meth or something would cause someone's body to reject food and not want to eat but mine already does that anyway without any drugs so im good there
Anno
ah, true about the thiamine, theres that and some other stuff you're supposed to take if you go past 5 days which is important cause refeeding syndrome can mess you up p bad or be lethal in some cases 1st time I went that long I was just at home not doing anything 2nd time was when I working doing heavy equipment stuff and really long hours so was very different with the energy

That's how it is sometimes I guess I don't really have enough stuff going on in the first place for there to be much disparity between them, it mostly just comes down to how I feel at any given time more than anything And for a while now I've mostly felt good, even if I still stress out a bit about some stuff

that sounds good, not sure if it is but it sounds like it and im happy when that's the case with you
it just gets lonesome when there's nobody to hear you and those who try can only mishear you im tryin to get into making music to help facilitate that expression a little bit but we will see whether that actually happens or not i figure by telling people about it then im committing myself to it at least a little bit
yeah i had that problem of getting frustrated too quick before but now i did all the stuff besides actually making the music, like putting art and themes and album names/track titles together and everything that felt motivating to do besides actually making the music like filling the outer edge of a puzzle might work we'll see
S C
It's overall good yeah Oh, music creation always seemed fun to me, but I'm too dependent on quick results so I never fully got into it
I dunno about using it as expression though, my interest has always just been in purely instrumental stuff Well, as far as me making anything, anyway

this isn't it but it is on my channel and you can navigate to it from there if you want to get a look at the placeholders and stuff i put up it all looks cool and motivating but still actually having to do it is intimidating maybe i'll get lucky and die before i have to actually try

Even if my fief was to be taken from me, I've got a fat wallet at like 90K coins right now so I'm good as far as money goes Unfortunately human resources are still somewhat scarce though so it's always important to reduce losses No amount of gold can hire manpower that isn't there, after all

Anno
Yeah it's where isekai bullshit makes gender identity kind of weird Like if you're a male Japanese salaryman who getsgets reincarnated as a European girl and retain all your memories and personality of your former male life, and don't particularly try to come to terms with how you are now physically female, but also don't internally consider yourself not male Where really does your gender lay

Anno

S C
It really does make one wonder why she was even written to turn into a girl at all though I mean there is the in-lore reason Being X did that, but like, that was still a choice that could have not been made, and at least so far there seems to have been no real reason to do it at all

i mean it makes sense the male part of the soul had already been driven into the first body so the remainder is what's left the negative imprint of the bird on the glass who crashed into it and died years earlier and is altogether forgotten besides the mark on the window pane
Anno
The one that was a fun thought experiment for me was Slime Isekai with the MC being reincarnated into an RPG slime Which by nature of being slime is an asexual being and wouldn't have the biological components to produce chemicals like testosterone or estrogen, at least probably And what impact would that have on your neurobiology and your psyche In the end this is totally removed from the series and it's priorities that it would never got brought up But it was fun for me to think about
S C
Rimuru mentions exactly once that now, as a slime, he doesn't really have a gender (he guesses) But that's it
S C
well, I'm not even entirely sure what pronouns are used for Rimuru It's mostly first person after all but I think other characters use he
Anno
At least in English localization I don't think I recall much, if any moments in the series where someone explicitly uses a gendered term to refer to Rimuru Mostly because Japanese is a very easy language to remove external gender from And Rimuru uses "boku", which while a male pronoun, is a popular one for more tomboyish girls or people who enjoy gender abiguousness to use Ambiguousness even
S C
Besides he used to be a guy, so it's also easily seen as just how he used to talk anyway >>1058963 The novels explain it early on Basically every cell in a slime's body is a braincell It's all brain
Anno
Yeah but what snagged me is, a slime doesn't have a human brain Hell they don't even visibly seem to have a brain, period Which of course leads into the complex question of where are conscious thought being stored >>1058962 Fair, but a slime blob would still not be a human brain So it would likely evaluate thoughts about gender differently than a human brain Sure, by isekai magic you might still perfectly port a copy of a human's memories up until their death into a slime's body But after that point the memories and future observations are all through a lens of a being which is biologically a slime
S C
Well, at least in slime's world, slime are neither social nor reproductive species in the first place, so it's very doubtful they have anything even approaching a concept of gender They're all asexual and neither communicate nor interact socially with other slimes Rimuru's also got Great Sage which handles like 90% of the computing at any given time, which throws another loop into things
Anno
In the end these kinds of questions are obviously not in the interest of most isekai authors who transplant their MCs into new bodies which are different species, biological sex, or age than their original So I get that it doesn't really come up much But it's a fun thing for me to consider
S C
Even the fact he's become a slime stops mattering entirely within like, the second novel, and it's just another power fantasy (sim city edition)
Anno
It's one of the things I found fun in Mushoku Tensei where Rudy does occasionally come up against the limitations of being an adult consciousness in the physical brain and hormonal body of a little boy Again it doesn't really come up much, but if you think about it, de-aging yourself would also place yourself in a different brain and biochemistry than what you're familiar with And what effect would that have on someone? It's neat to think about
月
he's not an isekai author but there's a fella named roger penrose who had some neat ideas about the non-computability of consciousness and the role that microtubules (could) play in allowing consciousness to occupy the brain
and maybe assuming some mechanistics you could consider the brain itself not the holding container for the consciousness but more like an antenna that's generating the right electromagnetic frequencies through the neuron mechanisms to resonate at the right pace to receive conscious signals like a TV antenna so de-aging and stuff would possibly be more akin to just getting a clearer signal and not a different consciousness altogether
but that's certainly not canon
Anno
That's neat, this stuff obviously isn't solely the interest of isekai authors and as SC and I both got at, they don't really ever actually explore it and just use the idea to fulfill their wish to be the little girl or little boy or little monster I'm sure there's probably a few science fiction and adjacent authors who have explored this idea
The latter bit kinda reminds me of what Uchikoshi explores in the Zero Escape series with the pseudoscience theories of morphogenetic fields and if human consciousness actually resides outside the physical brain It's kind of neat stuff even if it all sounds like bunk
S C
Overlord is, interestingly enough, one of the few series where him now being a bone man actually matters throughout the series rather than merely as a jumping off point Even the spider isekai effectively drops that thread a while down the line But Ainz is forever plagued by his nature as a skellington

i dont think the brain is an antenna but my crackpot theory is that consciousness is what a bunch of electric fields interacting with each other feels like like in a very strange conductive environment such as the neuron potentials in the brain
S C
Consciousness is overall strange anyway Can't even tell if a computer is conscious

>>1058971 antenna is a loose analogy for the lay i don't think it's an antenna either
i do think roger penrose is onto something with the microtubules though it sounded pretty bunk to me when i heard the idea, but actually looking into the technicals made it more and more interesting the opposite of how it usually is with things

guess I'll have to finish honzuki tomorrow normally I'd just stay up until I was done with the book, regardless of how late it gets, but I need to catch a bus tomorrow, and also prepare in advance Not a lot of prepwork, but more than nothing So I can't afford to sleep too late
S C
That and I've gradually realized over an embarassingly long timespan that when I start feeling tired, I should go to bed I mean that seems obvious, but the problem for me is if I push it too long after I start feeling tired, my brain kinda flips a switch, and I stop being tired, and can't sleep
Anno
Yeah, learning to listen to your body is pretty useful Especially with basic needs
月
it's hard sometimes, especially with like eating and sleep but i agree i think our bodies are a lot smarter than we are and we should listen to them when they're telling you what they need at least smarter than us on that particular task set
man trad finance is so dumb its a bunch of people paid to sit in offices and pretend to be API endpoints oh you want to buy a property? we need to spin up a bespoke contract to interface with these other entities and rhen call each other on the phone sending instructions

music is hard i keep pushing the sound towards what i feel and i don't think anyone would know wtf it is just dogshit noise i dunno how real people have real feelings
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
pretty sure you're a real person

there was a real person here at one point but i have no idea what happened to them or where they went im just left here all alone now i dunno what they expect me to do
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
you might not recognize what person you are, i think that's the inevitable result of time
月
but yeah i got a look at some finance uhh finance engineers? i dunno at some hedge funds and i always thought it'd be really cool technically modelling all the stuff and even some functional programming to pull in market data and automate the calculated risks and process the other stuff like to me that would be a lot of fun but no they're doing like nothing at all it looked so boring and soulless
they don't really even do anything they just find what's already available and just plug it in and write up some fake-ass projections there's so much data and so little attention bandwidth nobody will notice or care anyway
月
by that i mean survey the landscape then try to mimic the landscape and homogenize everything regardless of whether it's appropriate or not someone else is doing it so it must be good
getting behind the scenes at some of these jobs im convinced most careers could be adequately done by any degenerate who's got the time to just sit and pay attention for a few days it was actually really disappointing i want to engage something yknow not that i can access any cool jobs anyway
月
stop talking just to say nothing you stupid fuck what's wrong with you
Anno
All the jobs that are cool to me I'm either highly unqualified to do or require extensive groundwork before they could be sustainable And sov everything feels out of reach to me and I just stagnate
Anno
So when I tell people I don't want to work that's just shorthand for how everything just feels like menial unrewarding labour which would barely allow me to stay afloat in this city in conventional circumstances and I'd much rather do things I derive satisfaction out of but that won't pay my rent But oh I should be grateful for having this unrewarding dead-end job with limited prospects of being able to move into something which would bring me satisfaction even before the economy began to crunch
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
>>1058990 it might look boring and soulless but you won't know until you try
月
>>1058995 yeah they tax the soul right out of you completely you can lead a horse to water and also make him buy the water from you with his one and only soul
what do they even do with all of them there must be a lot stored up do they keep them for themselves or use them or do they just want to make sure we don't have them
Anno
Well it's not like having a soul ever did me any good
月
how do you know did you get a do-over without one to compare it took me a long time to figure out how to use it and i'm still pretty bad at it
but i dunno all the things i do like about myself came about from persistent improvement from self-criticism and overpreparation i never wanna bring something into the world that isn't prepared to endure the worst things it can offer so i hold onto things and incubate them extra-long sure some stuff ends up never coming out like a few book ideas or business plans but that's just how it goes

I don't actually think there's laws on the books keeping you from driving without wipers in the rain It's just Don't be a dumb fuck Don't be the idiot who makes it a law

anyway i checked and yes you must use your wipers it's heavy machinery folks

At least here, it's not so much specifically "you gotta use your wipers", it's just a traffic violation to drive if you can't reasonably fucking see the road in front of you And your windshield utterly covered in water count s

please i just want to sleep for more than 3 minutes at a time i can't fuckin im gonna break make it stop
S C
think I might rewatch the honzuki anime on the train Or at least, like, part of it Just to have a fallback in case I get bored or don't feel like reading after all
it kinda sucks ass to watch anime on a tablet, but I can't possibly justify getting a laptop just for the occasional train ride I have no fucking use for one beyond that
It's not an arc, it's been my damn life since I was like 5

I should maybe get a new headset though This headset's good and all, but it's a bit cumbersome for trips, and also it kinda pushes on my glasses a bit too much

I didn't even notice it when I watched it the first time, but the buildings in Honzuki really do have the lower levels made out of stone They really did pay attention to details

A black and blue butterfly was in my garden two days ago, checking up on me. It's funny how I was just, commenting the day before, about how: when you set someone/something free out of love, and comes back to you, it's a grand indicator, it was mentioned to be!
True love, always finds a way. The butterfly also flew away and shocked me, as it came back to say, I senced w/ you said yesterday, and here's your reminder!!!

>>1059069 yea >Deeper analysis of the data showed older homes were much more likely to have high lead levels across soils, chickens and their eggs. This finding matches other studies that found older homes are most at risk of legacy contamination from the former use of lead-based paints, leaded petrol and lead pipes. this just seems like a proxy for how much lead paint was in old houses

Imagine insisting on a 'wet ink' signature in 2022
月
does that mean with a real pen instead of digitally signed i had a bunch of shit to sign that all instructed real pen signatures only and i still just digitally imitated my signature with a blue line anyway they needed it three times in blue ink and three times in black ink they got none in actual ink
i wonder if they'll actually do the forensics to find that out like they'd have to pay one of those people who does it to look at it and it'd be wasteful to do that on everybody submitting a siggy
