@Inginsub @RustyCrab Yeah I get weird visual effects like that all the time. This doesn't sound like exactly the same thing, like it's happening in a higher level system than that, but if I spend a lot of time pulling a specific kind of weed from my yard, I'll see its leaves whenever I close my eyes, like my brain is an AI model that just got trained on images of poison ivy or wisteria etc. Also when I used to play sprite video games as a kid, I'd close my eyes and see just random new characters with characteristics of what I was looking at. Only happened with sprite-based, pixel type graphics not like pre-rendered stuff for some reason. Also if I've been looking at curved stuff a lot, lines I know for a fact are straight start to look bent.

@Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab I can explain why this is happening but I don't think you actually want to know

@Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab Basically your eye is ALWAYS dancing back and forth when you look at stuff. It has to do that because if you didn't, your cone cells would acclimate to the level of light and stop sending an image-- they detect CHANGES in brightness, not the absolute light level. What this means is that in order to keep your cells from going blank (called fatigue) it has to sweep back and forth in tiny jerky movements. Your brain compensates for this by shifting the image exactly the right amount so you don't notice it jerking back and forth.
The thing is, that spot is created by this fatigue. It's not attached to the real world, it's attached to a particular patch of cells-- but your brain doesn't know that. It thinks of it as just another part of the image, so it compensates and shifts it as well, even though it shouldn't. The result is it appears to bounce back and forth in space.
I'm back down to normal levels of manic lol.

I think wise people should stop giving "protips" and start giving "crowtips"

I'm using "degenerate" here in only the most affectionate terms, don't misunderstand me lol

it's kinda funny how these degenerates often manage to "clock" me (not like I'm trying to hide my intentions seriously beyond just a short term dumb joke or anything). Johnny calling me a "warner" for example. I have to admit he's kind of right.

@bot @RustyCrab You can't. But your body CAN discharge the excess carbs you eat in a day as energy sources instead of converting them to fat. The current american diet has a bunch of chemical tricks that encourage your body to store them.

@bot @J @binkle Oh, he doesn't go into any symbolic stuff, he just discusses what he thinks their big 5 traits are, how he has ascertained that, and what it means about how they're going to act in office.
He thinks that Trump isn't the uncompassionate person the media and everyone else makes him out to be and he hypothesizes, based on his behavior in private with people he knows well, that trump actually has a hidden compassionate side (he says it as "high aggreeableness"). That he thinks that Trump's concern for average people might be sincere. He also says he doesn't think Trump is a narcissist, because narcissists wouldn't be comfortable allying themselves with people like elon musk, who seemingly outshines him in every way related to business. He also talks about how his kids are mostly well-adjusted and scandal free and actually seem to like him, unlike Biden's. So, like, really interesting stuff.

@RustyCrab Are you following the CICO philosophy? There's a lot of new research making me doubt the idea.

@RustyCrab I've been having good luck just cutting out the carbs. Once I stopped craving them, I started just eating what I do crave. Lost 20lbs or so in 3 months. I don't think it's quite keto because I still drink sugary soda (which I mix myself from european syrup, I will NEVER trust american soda that shit is definitely poison), I think it works just because meat and vegetables (and I don't bother to skimp on the oil or fat) are more filling longer than stuff like wheat and rice.
The point wasn't to lose weight, it was because all this talk from people like RFK spooked me out of eating processed foods and american-grown cereals.

@bot @J @binkle It's not just about talking about specific other people though, it's about how people in general think and how it compares to how you yourself think. (I mean "you" the listener, not necessarily you bot)

@bot @J @binkle Trump's got good people around him, discusses their temperaments (which was interesting) and then tries to metaphorically tie them to one superhero or another but I just fastforwarded through those segments.

@binkle @J Oh god that. I watched it. It was really cringe. JBP is an ok guy and I like some of his stuff but he's just not very cool.
