Or as someone else put it, it's effectively a very lossy compression method like an mp3. It compiles all that data in a pile and then searches its contents as needed to produce plausible output.

Most people don't actually grow up to become adults except physically. They're just teenagers with jobs, relationships, and responsibilities they're still emotionally immature and unprepared for. And that's the best case scenario. A lot of them are emotionally toddlers.

I'm not saying I'm mature either. It's taken me decades to reach the level of a moderately competent high schooler or twenty-year-old. But I didn't have a childhood or adolescence or a loving family or anyone to teach me things. I had to reboot and start over with nothing.

All I've got is a certain amount of "emotional intelligence" and enough book learning to know when other people are bullshitting or have trapped themselves in unhealthy relationships.

I've also realized I'll never have the social experience or the kinds of friendships or mentoring that would actually prepare me for bigger and better things. In fact, I won't ever have access to the standard class markers of maturity like a house and family. So there's nothing per se to work towards in the first place.I'm just here to write stories and pay the bills and snuggle with my boyfriend and our cat until I die.

There's a short story in the current book I'm working on about running into someone from your past and realizing they've completely left you behind, but at the same time, they've left behind everything that made them interesting and worth knowing in the first place. So maybe there's a place for being defiantly mediocre when that's all you've got.

I was on Dropbox looking up something from an old plot idea and it was like, "This file has not been modified in 22 years."And then I kinda sat back and stared at it.

Also, 26 year old me kept really good notes. Possibly not useful. But still.

I'm skeptical of "social media algorithms are designed to be addictive to minors" because clearly these people have never seen, e.g., the way old white people are hooked on Fox News and shit. Never mind that these adults have made sure there's nowhere else for young people to socialize, especially in groups. Lately it's started edging toward "MAHA" wellness bullshit and Democrats' queerphobic and puritanical obsession with censoring and destroying the Internet "for the kids."

Stop letting pedophile billionaires own social media and everything else, tax them out of existence, and give us proper privacy protections.

It's just really rich coming from people who sat in front of the TV all day deep frying their brains in that bullshit instead.

Over the past 10 years, I've seen so many former Democratic stalwarts turn against the party. "Stop asking me for money if you aren't going to do anything." It makes me wonder about the people who are still ride or die for them. (As opposed to the people who are understandably just desperate.)

I would caution against ascribing any coherent political philosophy to American non-voters.But it's objectively true from years of polling that neither major party cares what Americans want. They don't see themselves as public servants but as courtiers to the Epstein class looking to cash in on their positions and assorted theocrats, ideologues, and fringe weirdos.Both parties prefer declining voter turnout and eligibility because it makes it easier to do what they want.

The thing is -- most Americans already know this. That's why voter turnout is so low in this country and why so many people have tuned out politics. They already know it mostly doesn't matter what they want or who they vote for because the people in power are going to do what makes rich people happy anyway.

But because no amount of money or power or impunity is enough for the Epstein class, they're determined to rape whoever they want and suck out every last drop of our blood and leave the world a burned out, ruined shell.But as wealth is siphoned to the top, the number of people who stand to benefit is steadily shrinking.And I think they're playing with fire.
