This blog is best viewed in 800x600 resolution. Völva. Alpha female. Unix creationist. I can't C#. Unsane. Medical ailments hipster. The malware community hates me. Sometimes I write computer related subjects for the absolute beginner, you can find those posts tagged with "datatag". Other than that it's mostly bits and pieces of my chaotic life, maybe some weird things, politics, memes and information.

it’s so funny to me that stoicism is largely seen as a very male and ‘macho’ virtue.  being stoic and tight-lipped regarding one’s own suffering is one of the most womanly qualities i could possibly think of, and by far one of the least male.

nobody is too good or too smart to become addicted to something btw and anyone acting like addiction is a moral failing/a sign of being unintelligent/etc has clearly never been in a situation like that. it isn't a coincidence that most addicts are otherwise disabled/chronically ill or mentally ill

Still can’t get over the fact that The Backrooms made liminal horror “mainstream” while also completely misrepresenting the genre, ditching the subtle, melancholic sense of unease for a bloated SCP clone with edgy shadow monsters.

I personally find this to be a much better take on a similar premise:

No jumpscares. No monsters.  Just an eerie, dreamlike sense of being lost in a completely desolate, sprawling brutalist hellscape.

There’s something so unnerving about architecture that has the aesthetic of being man-made, while also realizing that nothing about these buildings would be of any practical human use.

Can't recommend watching this doom mod enough, even if you don't like doom:

the really awesome thing about having an autoimmune disorder is that every new ailment just like "welp looks like we've found another symptom to give you"

I must say strokes really aren't that fun and I wouldn't recommend it to most people. All in all, 6/10 experience

just something terrible about the fact that there really aren’t kids websites anymore and now there aren’t adult websites either. kids don’t have neopets or club penguin or anything else like that to go on now where there could be appropriate moderation for their age, and so now you have 9 year olds on tik tok and instagram seeing content that’s not appropriate for them, and the adults on these platforms get censored to death because “think of the children” that shouldn’t even be there in the first place. kids would not give a shit about these things if they had their own spaces to go. but now everyone loses and you have an algorithm that shows pro-ED videos and thirst traps to preteen girls and bans adults for saying “my grandma died yesterday” instead of “my grandma un4l!v3d.” makes me freak out a little bit
