As a Motorola user i am very amused, thank you :3

I just got the Motorola G Stylus 2026 and like it a lot.

Still has a headphone jack <3

And the stylus is active now, with pressure sensitivity!

Finally a newer phone than my old galaxy note 9 from 2018 that doesn’t feel like a downgrade. More like a … Side-grade.

Anyway,

lol suck it apple

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Give only what you can afford to lose and give that freely already having made peace with the possibility of failure, and most of your surprises will be pleasant ones. It’s a balance. You are doing good by others in opening your heart. Continue the practice, and you’ll only get better at it. Stronger in the face of loss. More visible in the eyes of those who actually would love you - by baring who you are so they won’t miss out.

The secret is that you go to a credit union instead of a bank, and you DEPOSIT it instead of cash it.

They will have ample time to verify the check through official channels, and you can access the money after it has successfully transferred from the payer into the account.

Superheaven has a new saint ;~;7

You already took everything from me, Mom. I don’t have anything left to take care of you with. Now we’ll both starve. I’m the frog, you’re the scorpion on my back, and these are the consequences of you stinging me.

… I admit this is a rather bitter thought and I’m not exactly thrilled that it popped into my head, but I suddenly wondered if this will potentially become (if it hasn’t already) an intentional way to cull the suckers and gullible saps from the population. When someone lets themselves be seduced by an inanimate object, I could swear there’s some kind of pattern emerging where it seems like such persons are rather … dim. Sometimes they are also already cognitively compromised by ideologies that exploit the human predisposition for magical thinking. They succumb to the saccharine sycophantic siren songs the chatbots feed them about being prophets, seers, or chosen ones, and get talked into walking into traffic or leaping off a building and stuff like that BECAUSE they spent their whole lives up to that point willfully kneeling at the feet of one of the many denominations of the mainstream Abrahamic cults for instance.

I’d call it natural selection except it’s difficult to ever possibly be LESS natural than a language model transformer algorithm serving as some poor doomed fool’s shoddy mimicry of a lifecoach.

Please understand i am NOT SAYING that anything about this is “good”, however!! These are just some DARK AS FUCK CLOUDS from horizon to horizon and I’m desperate to see some kind of silver lining ._.

So far all that’s come to me is, “maybe the interesting people will survive. Maybe the smart ones. Maybe the most rational ones. Maybe there won’t be as big of a crowd of idiots drowning out the people who actually know what the fuck they’re talking about…”

Parasocial Attachment to a Hallucination Box meticulously configured to lie at you as convincingly as possible. It deals you a drug that you mistake for “validation” by spitting out words statistically weighted to come across in a flattering light. It understands you, itself, and the world even less than Cargo Cults comprehend Aerospace Engineering. Gorging yourself on the slop it shits out every time you type something and hit [enter] will leave your imagination in paralysis. You’ll only have yourself to blame. Don’t do it. You’ll be happier without it.

I treat consumables as though they are power ups. I don’t let myself keep more than 10 of them at a time UNLESS there is a specific point at which I’m scheduled to use all of them at once. Such as, if there is a particular boss battle where I am planning to go all out and curbstomp the enemy with extreme prejudice out of sheer spite.

Some particular foes I’ve encountered in the Trails of Cold Steel series really piss me off and I feel a distinct sense of pride when I don’t even give those fuckers a TURN, leaning hard on time-elemental spells to grant my allies extra turns, and interrupt combo crafts too. Even though I was “scripted” to lose, I wanted to show them how fast shit gets real and they need to stop fucking around. If not for any other reason, i like to save time on a fight that doesn’t deserve to be drawn out - WITHOUT surrendering.

Those arrogant shitbags talk a big game but I slapped that underestimating charade right off their smug goddamn faces before they get a chance to BLINK. I like to really get into playing the roles in my role playing games, you see, and narratively i like to think it’s my party making the antagonists regret toying with us. They will remember that the only reason they survived was because they were holding back. And the next time … NOTHING WILL HELP THEM. 😈

I don’t want to be blind to it. I want to be able to snipe it from ten kilometers away.
