are you writing a story? journal for yourself?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
okay so you have like the macro idea for the story that's great to have
the coursing river, the spine of the story is good you can write that out even though it won't be in the actual prose the actual text of the story only hints at the truth
I've got most of the important bits, but I don't have the "why is the protagonist actually doing what they're doing" Most of the other stuff is pretty sown up, but there's a handful of stuff that has to happen, one way or the other, and I dunno how to make it happen
okay well the driver for a story is the protagonist's internal struggle
and you still don't write that out explicitly in the story either but the things you write come directly from that struggle how do they make sense of what's happening? how dio they evaluate the situation what decisions do they make

>duolicious had a data leak read: basic scraping of public-facing information an analysis document reveals it was basically a honeypot to harvest data, and set up by the EU read: an analysis document was made by way of the aforementioned scraping, the analysis in question was funded by the EU

categorizing this as a leak is very much the same as saying facebook user data leaked because someone made an account and, using a script, saved the source of a bunch of accounts they visited using that account Not like "similar", that IS what they did

also if it was a leak, then it wasn't a honeypot If it was a honeypot, it's not a leak

as is the case with this one, so is the case with most of them You can just open studies and stuff and read the abstract and 99% of the time, the people you got there from are contradicted there's no need to read the whole study, because the claim using it as a source can be disregarded entirely when the source contradicts it It means they're either just outright lying, or they didn't read the study, and as such shouldn't be using it as a source (Sargon in particular was great at this part for a while, mfer has an audiobook channel on youtube, but hasn't read ONE of the studies he uses as sources.

well here's an even simpler heuristic well yea SC already covered it but anyone who complains about the EU and implies conspiracies is probably one of those people anyway
I had a bit of a breakthrough on the whole writing thing throughout the day, actually If the issue is I don't know where to go from the starting point, why don't I just move the starting point further back since I actually kinda have a good idea of the stuff leading up to the original starting point And from there I can see where it takes me
I only have vague ideas so far, but I think they'll solidify once I actually start typing and have to flesh stuff out beyond the drafts in my head >>1120300 I dunno how to really word much of it, honestly I just know some details I'm kinda molding the whole thing around, like a theology and church that aren't just evil or good, but more what I think makes more sense in a world with a demonstrably real deity. Basically it's still The Church, but it's also somewhat scientific and not just a powerstructure or just a goodie goodie gang following the will of the divine If a god truly does exist, and you can prove it, you'd kinda naturally end up with a lot of resources spent investigating that god, I think The magic isn't something I'm entirely sure how works at the core yet though, but I do have some ideas for it
Anno
can you write here your vague ideas?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the church is the PR org for God god noo stop smiting the phonecians you're losing the popular vote
I really don't want to just make some powerfantasy though But that's easy enough to avoid, since I've already placed limiters on the protagonist that are important to the story anyway
Anno
Fun. I recently wrote similiar stuff myself, had same ideas.
Anno
what if head is just receiver of ideas from aether \ mass consciousness
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
does the protagonist have a power that's worse than everyone else's but that's ok because he succeeds through the sheer power of his grit and courage and the strength of his friendships
it's more a case of "in raw technical speccs, likely more powerful than anyone, but actually using that would very literally involve suicide" Not out of blowback or something that can be mitigated somehow, the triggering mechanism would be suicide itself
though, it's not a special power, it's just something nobody else does for Lore Reasons, which does admittedly include nobody else knows how to It's partially a result of me really enjoying the idea of a healing spell that hurts you in order to heal others It's just that, but extended to the whole magic system So anyone in the story could be doing that shit, but it's kinda lost knowledge, and for that matter very despised by everyone who isn't psychotic
well if I get my shit together and write the first bit of it, it's going up on medium, so I haven't really written a story before though, so it's gonna be stinky But I've wanted to write this for a long time and had it cooking, even if some elements are new ideas incorporated later and some stuff has been lost over time
at least I've got a decent grasp of how I wanna open and end the first little bit of it now I don't actually have time to start writing, and besides I'm watching NL, but tomorrow I should be able to get cracking on at least the first little bit, which'll be fun The middle will sort itself out Copium
I'm just against it on principle. Finish your game before you sell it.

early access started out as like "here's what we've got so far, it's not really finished so it's kinda like a demo" and quickly became "this is the release. we may or may not actually finish it"
I loved the first game though so maybe we'll even make an exception

well yeah, but there was an expectation initially that the game will actually be finished, some time that's not a thing anymore, there's a ton of games that just are early access games and will never get to 1.0

>>1120316 As someone who bought and played the first Hades in early access (and hasn't gotten around to playing it in the full release yet) the game was pretty feature complete even in early access All the weapons were available, you could battle your way up to and fight Daddy Death, the system for making runs more challenging was already present, and a lot of the side content was there even from the early early access builds The beta period it was in early access for was for balancing, adding in ornamental content like voice lines, and some small content features not present from the first public builds It was already a very satisfying game

Anno
problem of modern psychiatry - they think (and market for financial reasons) - there might be a silver bullet (a silver pill) that'll magically heal person over time. but answer isn't that simple. It's just a variable factor out of equation with multiple unknows >>1120361 it depends
>>1120366 if serotonin level is below baseline average, e.g. depressed, meds (antidepressants) suppose to recover levels to the baseline+. while on them. then one can gradually tap them of slowly during weeks. that's sorta protocol for 1 depressive episode, that is not permanent. it depends on a case, and diagnosis. some diseases require permanent treatments, so it depends on many factors.
another theory is to go cold turkey, to restore sensetivity to endorphins, dopamine fasting. (it works for some, and not for others)
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
serotonin has not been scientifically linked to depression
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the link between depression and serotonin was unironically manufactured by pharmaceutical companies to sell SSRIs
the largest meta analysis ever done on serotonin and depression with over 100k subjects found no link
Anno
Kirara. let me phrase it this way. some SSRI do help some people. It is a useful tool & option to have. Yes, it is not 100% panacea. It works some times for some individuals. However there is good scientific research backing, it works in more than 51%+ cases.
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you don't gotta explain it to me ive earned a doctorate and i can tell you that SSRIs are as effective as exercise in treating depression the scientific literature overwhelmingly finds this to be the case serotonin has not been scientifically linked to depression. to say otherwise is just pop psychology. it's not science.
I wasn't refering to anno serotonin seems to be a pleasure center catylist dopemine isn't linked to depresstion either it would seem depresion is a mind state imo. One can be depressed on either hightened amounts of either chemical, espesialy post.
Anno
your doctorate probably not MD in psychiatry or neuroscience. with all respect.
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
my doctorate is in psychology so i have extensively studied these things tyvm
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
and yes, i am knowledgeable in psychopharmacology and neuropsychology
Anno
>>1120375 it's about balance between different pathways.
Anno
ya a good balance of both most times feel right
Anno
for example. boost in serotonin can downregulate upregulated dopamin, decreasing anxiety & addiction, improving self control. if in correct pathway.
Anno
I say over doing anything can lead to damage it depends phams are like that
Anno
yes, too much meds, if above minimal effective theurapeutic dosage can desentilize
In experiance pharma meds are best used once then see the reaction and then apply if nessisary, to many times it's over done accept in sleep aids maybe med meds* have worked best for anno when you use it and see if the benifit last days rather then redosing but if your not the one working the treatment that goes out the window it's diffent imo from person to person everyones arangment may be different from one to the next.
>>1120310 >>1120307 That's motivated and helped me today, to rethink my behaviour. I have trouble executing unpleasant tasks & procrastinating. but the post S C explained, in my interpretation, the one may trade & sacrifice one's displeasure for benefit of others or future.

that's certainly one way to read it, though the intention overall is different It's a lot more literal than that in terms of its place in the story, anyway
naw, don't think that's what it is I mean for one, I'm awake I dunno if just not breathing while sleeping would generate localized pain in what feels like the digestive system it's not like it's a persistent, aching kinda thing either, it kinda washes in with a sharp pain, and then it subsides a little
I dunno what the fuck it is, but at least for once it seems to be going away on its own in a timely manner
Anno
try doing shankhaprakshalana
Anno
I learned a technique a long time ago this may sound weird but it works if you start doing it every day it starts working better (over time) but if you have probs witht the gut sit somewhere and take a hand and rub the abdomine in a spiral clockwise if looking down from center outwards and then back outwards inwards it channels meridians what I read was somehow it shifts light through the palm into the area and promotes healing and aids digestion
meditation overall is like one of those things I've kinda thought about maybe giving a try sometime, but I'm kinda like, I dunno, tense almost all the time sure the whole point is meditation is about actually getting into a state where you can relax and whatever, but I feel you gotta at least be in a minimum of calm to even do it at all and I just always feel like time itself is weighing me down
it's been a real long time since this happened last, but at least it's going away quickly this time one time it was just fucking hours before it gave out
well at least work is done for today Now I just gotta get my built up annoyance down to a manageable level Not a fucking square meter of the store is level, so stocking shelves really is just a battle against the ever increasing "FUCK THIS" in the mind My little cart keeps scooting off, and of course this is worse the heavier the stuff on it is, which is a double whammy because it's heavy AND that means it's more likely to take off the perforated parts of the packaging is often more structurally strong than the damn glue holding the cardboard together too, which I feel should be a crime

I did, and while I liked the movie I still actually don't get it >>1120473 well yeah sure, that much makes sense, but like why pretend you're dating a computer program maybe I just don't really get romance in the first place or something
An AI companion to just talk to about random junk and do stuff with makes sense, sure, but like, is that really it? That's just a buddy dutchfriend and I were like that since we were like 14 or something But if there was any sort of other implication to that, it sure missed me, and him too I'd imagine I mean he dated his scout partner while we were in a TF2 team and stuff, so I'd be surprised if he saw us as anything more than just good friends
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
its just nice to have someone to talk about your day with i guess
I'm not being stupid, right? It just doesn't make sense to "date" a computer That's not a person I guess it'd be something else if we achieved true AI sentience, but that has its own problems, one of the most important ones being we have absolutely no way to know if or when we ever do We can't even demonstrate sentience in each other, we just have to assume as much cause we ourselves are and other people are basically the same thing
Which sure, does kinda sound like the whole "well we can't know we're not a brain in a vat" thing, but I just mean "know" and "demonstrate" in the same sense we can demonstrate any other junk, like water being necessary to sustain human life or something basic like that We don't KNOW know that's the case, it could technically be a massive coincidence that people have so far always died when severely dehydrated, but we can reasonably assume it's not a coincidence But we don't even have any fucking idea what sentience actually looks like beyond pointing at a human being and going "kinda like that I guess"
And until we can do that and show the machine to be sentient in the same way we mean when talking about other people, I just can't understand what there's to gain, you know? I guess maybe I'm just the odd one out though, cause people have been doing this stuff forever, it's even somehow one of the big appeals of dating sims and stuff
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you cant logic this stuff its just social drive monkey brain stuff
Maybe I just lack that somehow, or it's not developed or something I mean it does kinda bother me to not even get it, but on the other hand maybe it's for the best cause I can't imagine my self-esteem surviving the hit of one day realizing I'm "dating a computer" I'm pretty sure that'd sink me for good, it's just too utterly pathetic

Oh that kinda reminds me of an audiobook I listened to while I still worked at that factory It was like, told from the perspective of some person visiting a sort of socialist-type utopia and being basically given a guided tour Can't remember the name of it though
anyway we know that individual cells need water as basic material requirements, we know that water tends to get expelled as urine or evaporated as sweat, so its not hard to come up with a convincing argument that a lifeform needs to be supplied with water
well yes, obviously I was just giving it an example of the whole, fundamentally we can't know anything with total certainty, is all Obviously cells do need water to function properly, we know that to the extent we can know anything, but a vanishingly tiny possibility exists that it's just an absurd coincidence That kinda thing

>Coppola devoted the beginning of 1983 to writing the screenplay, assembling four hundred pages of notes and script fragments in two months.[11]:333 Over the next four decades, he collected clippings and notes for a scrapbook detailing intriguing subjects he envisioned incorporating into a future screenplay, like political cartoons and different historical subjects before deciding to make a Roman epic film set in modern America. >>>/@jbromovies/1790244896093474856 and it has Shia LeBeouf
>Coppola was hesitant to decide how the film's world should look. One crew member recalled: "He would often show up in the mornings before these big sequences and because no plan had been put in place, and because he wouldn't allow his collaborators to put a plan in place, he would often just sit in his trailer for hours on end, wouldn't talk to anybody, was often smoking marijuana ... And hours and hours would go by without anything being filmed. And the crew and the cast would all stand around and wait. And then he'd come out and whip up something that didn't make sense, and that didn't follow anything anybody had spoken about or anything that was on the page, and we'd all just go along with it, trying to make the best out of it."

TRUE

actually both of those scenes from the r-rated movies are American Psycho so I will have to deduct marks for that one

thats right i only have the 3rd to the 7th there first day is little tokyo and my dharma uncle's place in santa monica and then the rest is anime expoooo
No, I only get PTO. I accumulate 6 hours of PTO every pay period so I get about 20 days of PTO every year. I used like 10 days being sick so I barely have anything saved up now. Right now after requesting two days off for AX, I have 4 hours of PTO. I'll manage to rebuild some by the end of the year, though, so as long as I avoid being ill, I'll have some next year.
So you don't get sick leave that's tracked separately from your holiday leave? Is that normal in America? What a fuckin scam bro. You're getting diddled. It's not like you choose to get sick.
Here it's like a separate few weeks that are tracked and accounted for completely differently from your annual leave entitlements. Of course, you need a doctor to sign off on taking it, but if you're legitimately sick that's no problem.
>>1120691 greatest country on earth, baby. This is why the rest of us are all jealous of your freedom. The freedom to waste all your PTO being sick.
Yeah, that's normal in the US. Actually, I have way more PTO than most people get. 20 days a year is considered very extravagant. In a year or two, my PTO accumulation will increase and I'll get 25 days a year. After I've been at the company for ten years, I'll be accumulating up to like 40 days of PTO every year.
I wish I had sick days. Technically I can take as many days as I need to if I'm sick and don't have PTO but I won't get paid for those days. They won't fire me because they can't run our local branch without me and have invested like 200k into training me. Morons.

Still watching professional League of Legends. Tonight it's EU's top team against Korea's second seed. People are pretty excited because Europe and NA aren't usually competitive against the east Asian teams.
