the nice thing about basing my creative practice on “write the fucked-up shit” is knowing I have solid #JobSecurity bc AI is unable to match the ingenuity of human depravity
where’s that old bash.org about an elaborate scheme that ends “and then my decapitated head lands on my hands that have superglue on them” and an interlocutor replies like “dude I don’t think I want to be friends with you anymore”
it’s embarrassing how deeply “I put on my robe and wizard hat” is embedded in my psyche. is there a backup of bash.org cuz I miss it
anyway if AI *can* match the ingenuity of human depravity then… ok, more data for *me* to train on and one-up. mutually reinforcing creative cycle

every time this discourse comes up I need to remind people that suppressing, censoring, and limiting art does far, far more harm than anything the art contains. you can destroy minds while leaving bodies intact by limiting the imagination. the whole point is there’s no right way
sometimes you don’t need a nuanced villain. sometimes you DO want to tell a black-and-white morality story. and sometimes you want to write a nuanced villain so fucked up that you scare yourself that you thought of it. and ALL of it is valid
the current rise in fascism isn’t from media, it’s from a complete ignorance and lack of education on how to critical think, and if you don’t have basic-ass critical thinking skills for literary analysis and social analysis, of course you fall sway to harmdoers. come on

every time I throw a pokéball in pokémon go I try to figure out the formula for how the parabola of pokéball trajectory is calculated
I think there’s a distance constant of how far the pokémon is and it interacts with a catch ratio that’s CP-dependent and likely species-dependent, and the difficulty multiplier of the shrinking target circle, and each pokémon must have a catch radius where a ball will activate
from there it’s a matter of capturing a few points on the touchscreen as the player throws and you can use a derivative to calculate a throw speed and combine that with throw path that gets interpolated on an imaginary z-axis to turn the 2D line into a 3D trajectory

having some feelings that amount to

chinese ppl jewish ppl
🤝
can only trust us to really give a shit about us
the radio is on at work and I’m like sure karen, your fear of a car driving slowly as you’re on a walk after events is totally equivalent to me not leaving my house yesterday out of concern my neighborhood will experience a repeat attack
is it possible for white goyim to express sympathy without needing to make it relatable and centered on their feelings with a totally unparallel example? it’s a mystery

me at 12 years old: *obsessed with feitan, resident torturer, and writes fanfic filling in all the gory details of how feitan tortured the owl*

me at 31 years old: hmm. could learn a thing from my past self and stop pulling my punches. togashi, king of “write the fucked-up shit”

note to self for hacker/machine D/s erotica: infinity as the machine’s experience of orgasm; getting machine to divide by zero as coming; asymptotes as edging; limits as constraint and bondage
what is the little death but dividing by zero and returning null
combine with splicing & rewiring and fucking with electrical current as the bloodplay & breathplay of inorganic machines

…mass shooting literally down the street from me
you basically do not come to this neighborhood unless you know it’s asian. I was wondering when this would happen
given the history of razing chinatowns in SoCal, I have known that existing here would expose me to violence at some point
