Something I heard from a wildlife photographer recently: you would be shocked by how much animals rest. Like, any time they can they just lay around. Barring certain seasonal events (like raising young or taking advantage of food), resting is almost all they do. You’re an animal too, and you shouldn’t feel bad if you need to spend hours or days resting.
The obsession with constantly working and being productive is a Protestant brain worm, not a natural state of humans. Take care of yourself and rest when you can if your body or mind is telling you that you need it.
Very glad that my dumb ass probably has like 10% less plastic in my brain than most people my age because I never smoked out of cans. Thanks, paranoid teen me!
Yes, how you socialize and how much it drains you are affected by whether or not you’re autistic and/or ADHD.
People who are naturally outgoing but also autistic/ADHD have the same drive to go out and interact with people, but due to differences in how they act/perceive the world wind up much more drained from the experience (either from sensory overstimulation or anxiety from people being unpredictable). This often leads to seeking out socialization less, even though they are just as desperate for it as anyone else who is naturally more extroverted.
And instead of typing up a paragraph every time they want to talk about it, they say introverted extrovert.
You guys have been getting podcast ads about it? That’s wild, I haven’t got any at all. But I’m in California, maybe they’re only being played closer to NYC?
I wasn’t debating anything? I was agreeing with the comment I replied to. I even specified that I don’t blame people who don’t realize they’re reposting AI content.
I’m autistic and burnt out as shit right now, so sorry if I’m missing something that seems obvious to you.
Oops, I guess I was a little too spicy. I agree, we don’t need AI, and using the tools of billionaires instead of real art by human artists is at best misguided and at worst actively harming the people you purportedly want to help.
I don’t blame people for reposting it when they don’t realize it’s AI, it can be hard to tell.
Mindlessly shoving a paywall on every page on the site is both lazy and indicative of their priorities. Nobody has to do it purposefully for it to still be shitty and revealing.
Apparently some celebrities (real or internet) have said they had blue checks applied to them unwillingly. I remember some shitposter (maybe dril or Internet Hippo?) was intentionally trying to lose their blue check for a while by violating whatever blue check TOS related to usernames.
I’m so glad I left completely (minus the random search result with no other leads, but no browsing) when the API fuckery started, corporate social media sounds like an absolute hellscape now.
