Unfortunately I have more belief in humans fucking shit up than I do in accidental weasel hadron colliding.
I mean... Yes, that is what deepfakes are. I am sorry it happened to poor old Amy, and I whish her vulgar, algorythmic doppelganger wouldn't have said awul things but... If this is news to you you might have not be paying attention for a while.
Precisely why I thought that quote validated highlighting. He's in the purgatory between following orders and thinking for himself.
The way he brings it does endear me.
This is exactly why I quoted that bit. Introspection is the natural enemy of fascism, and this employee isn't deferring to outside reasoning for his actions.
I mean outside of him feeling obliged to abide by his superiors, he's really thinking (starting at least) for himself.
That's a bit too practical for me, but if pushed I would agree...
I don't disagree
It's really not the 'where', it's the general thought ((less)(ness)) we should not be slightly relieve at other people doing stupid shit, we should -as people- make a stand against stupid shit.
I think we should unite against stupid shit being laid upon us by greedy people rather than laugh at each others' misery.
No the are not 'schaffing es'
If you include drilling platforms, Deepwater Horizon would have made the 2010 graph equal the 1979 one.
I have done extrensive theoretical testing and concluded -without a shadow of doubt- that delivering a candy bar is possible
I was quite excited as I've never owned a car with low enough kilometrage to have this happen before.
I needed to make the pun desprately
Last couple of days there's several issues with the UI. Thumbnails fail to load and symbols and letters are missing all over.
I have a thing with museum attendants chairs and photograph them.
Expression says it all
It's a very slow progress. Like you don't really notice your shoes wear in and then wear them down. It is weird enjoying things that you'd be too jaded to even consider enjoying before. But it takes time to register that you are actually enjoying something, I had not much context for that.
It's not instantaneous, like its often portrayed in film (Theoden de-aging in LOTR f.i.) You need to re-learn a lot of things, like someone in a severe accident learning to walk again. Only it's in your brain. First you need to realize you are not in constant stress anymore and threatened by everything in life all at once.
And then you need to slowly learn to relax all those mental muscles that were all balled up in paroxismic spasms for far too long.
And after a long time of trusting this new norm without getting betrayed by life or significant others you gain the mental state in which you discover that you are enyoing simple things. Those at first only slightly penetrate your walled garden as you are too careful to allow deep feelings to sway you (as deep feelings have betrayed you before). But step by step you are amazed by tiny, almost insighnificant things that bring joy to your soul.
Thats's where I am at. I am both overjoyed at feeling things and so sorry for my former self for being in that locked-in state. But I am grateful for the experience and proud of the fact I persevered and not given in to suicidal thoughts. I am really happy at my current state of being even though every once in a while, like a craving for cigarettes I gave up a couple of years ago, I am drawn into a short burst of 'appèl du vide (call of the void)' where I imagine things unraveling again.
It's not an easy road and I certainly needed the support of others. But the most important currency is trust. Trusting yourself, trusting your friends/significant others. And most likely you will never see as much support as someone in rehabilitation over drunkenly crashing their car into a tree, as the wounds are not visible. But it is worth it at some point you will realize how big of a handicap depression actually is and it's such a free feeling not to be tied down by it anymore.
