The Embodiment of RED @thraeryn@thraeryn.net

I ate some McDonald's about 4h15m ago.

I ate a fried half of a chicken breast about 1h15m ago.

I want to eat again.

The idea that people won't want what they want because you can reason them out of it seems great, and is frustratingly rare. It's less easy to "reason" someone into something else with their feelings, and still ain't perfect, and has a better success rate.

@maloki @Kittenfish871
Nah, especially not social ones, or sciences of the mind; it's tough to reproduce things that people are s'posed to naturally do. Lookin' for psychological profiles? That's practically cubes of confirmation bias bouillon.

@maloki @Kittenfish871
I think the things about astrology are:
✅ subject to confirmation bias–less on reading one's attributes, more on looking at one's actions after being "informed"
✅ attributes are so general they will apply to everyone at some points, further contributing to confirmation bias

It's akin to REALLY pre-scripted cold-reading in my mind.

@art
Oof. RIP your inner ear

@maloki
Such a weird set of ideas.
* symptoms are the body informing the mind
* mind tells the body it's doing something to fix it
* mind makes body perform rote, recognized actions
* body totally falls for it b/c mind is the MORE aware part

If we designed a system that worked that way, we'd un-design it and try again.

@karako
That's a mighty frustrating feeling! You'll have to learn another word you CAN say!

@karako
Oh? What word?

Where my Saturday night crew at? Now that I had some time to actually chill, I'm up for interaction. (Of course.)

@Torie
Life is generally a big ol' mess with (hopefully) enough cool stuff thrown in to make it worthwhile.

@lawremipsum
I could maybe get some of my fellow Tims from r/ChurchOfTim; they're cool Tims.

@lawremipsum
Can Tims be admins & mods? We could double, triple, maybe quadruple-Tim this thing!

@MmeLibertine
Thank you, sweetness.

Will miss:
✅ getting shitfaced & playing Rock Band

Won't miss:
✅ doin' some acid & E because they're offered & it's been a while
✅ ridiculous post-trip drive home tomorrow morning, sun in my eyes seemingly the whole way

I made it through about six hours of being out & about, two hours of that playing Santa and being in Performance Mode–then another hour and a half getting dinner, hitting a bank, and doin' a couple of stores with my kid. Big Box stores. At Christmastime. Accomplishment. ✅

I have two party invitations and a friend is performing at a small venue tonight. I–uh. 🔲

@MmeLibertine
My friends Becca & René really dressed a nice photo setting. I look forward to seeing more of the photos.

I took Santa pictures with maybe twenty dogs and two cats.

Pupperdog Santa, reporting for duty.

(Every year, #Houston has an all-Santa re-enactment of the Battle of Pearl Harbor. FYI.)

Dang. I had to do some serious spot cleaning on my suit.

As V pointed out, I battled the Japanese forces at Pearl Harbor at least once in the suit without washing it after.

Oh. Yeah. Oops.
