I hate feeling bitter, angry, and burnt out.

Ma'am, you are aware you're European, right?

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Monday, 01-Jul-2024 15:42:22 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener Slept over 12 hours. Crashed. Stumbled through the day. Slept another 9 hours. Rested. Slept another 9 hours. It's halfway through the day and I'm imploding. Lying down isn't enough. I can't pass out but it really feels like I need to. Watching cartoons is too mentally taxing. I'm short of breath. Can't think. Can't move. I'm just totally fucked.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Thursday, 16-May-2024 22:06:24 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener I finally did it. I used an LLM. A couple of months ago, MS added its Copilot to Windows. I turned it off. But the latest update shoved it back in my face and tried to get me to let it use my data. So I asked it a question: How do I get rid of Copilot? It suggested I uninstall it like any other program, but MS removed that option. But Copilot went on to tell me the exact registry key to change to block it from loading, and now it's gone.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Thursday, 25-Apr-2024 10:04:39 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener @JessTheUnstill In theory (if not in actual practice) if you are incarcerated for murder, you are entitled to food, clothing, shelter, exercise, education, and health care. Because those are human rights and while you're in the custody of the state, it's our responsibility to provide those for you. Anything less would be cruel and unusual, and therefore unconstitutional. And yet, if you're a law-abiding citizen on the outside, you're on your own. It pisses me off.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Monday, 22-Apr-2024 01:38:07 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener @futurebird Better yet... We weren't supposed to have a standing military in the first place. Washington warned us. It's hugely expensive and it's a constant temptation to use military force in unnecessary wars instead of soft power. For generations, we had the US militias (now known as the National Guard) as our sole military (and the sole purpose of the 2nd Amendment). Now we spend more on our military than the next 10 countries combined, and most of those are allies.

Not really up to company today. But thanks. If only someone could knock some sense through my sister's thick skull... *sigh* I'm just clocking out.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Sunday, 14-Apr-2024 13:52:08 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener If you're in the US and are disabled and care about COVID safety, the PBS Newshour would like to hear from you.
This is their survey: https://pbsnewshour.formstack.com/forms/covid_isolation
It doesn't look like much, and it's not linked on their website. I wish there was a better option to verify that it's not a scam, but here's the tweet from their official account: https://twitter.com/NewsHour/status/1778808320041550061

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Sunday, 31-Mar-2024 15:09:21 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener It occurs to me that the real way to celebrate Easter is you seal yourself up in a cave all weekend and no one tries to talk to you, but when they come to check on you three days later you're just gone with no forwarding address.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Sunday, 31-Mar-2024 15:09:20 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener This is the corollary to my theory that the real way to celebrate Passover is everyone gets up in the morning, you have 15 minutes to pack, you pile into the car, you go on a long road trip with no map, seeing where the road takes you, and you're only allowed to eat fast food.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Mar-2024 19:25:36 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener Let me see if I've got this right:
There were many names for the islands. But the Chinese called them Nippon/Nihon ("sun origin") because it's east of them.
Italian merchants wrote down the Indonesian pronunciation of the Chinese name as Gaipan, which became Japan in English.
When a 1943 Batman movie villain said "Actually, I prefer to be called Nipponese," there was a pause for the audience to boo. Because we'd been asked to correct it and didn't want to.
So we still call Nippon "Japan."

I don't think she got it.

Paul-Gabriel Wiener (wearshats@realsocial.life)'s status on Sunday, 14-Jan-2024 10:39:27 JST Paul-Gabriel Wiener "Who Can It Be Now" by Men At Work just came on, and I never listened to the lyrics before. Turns out the entire song is just someone is knocking on his door and he has too much social anxiety to answer it.
