  • Oh my gosh do you remember the name of a show they had in roughly 05-10i era that was just featuring prototypes for future technology?

    I remember it featuring robotic exoskeleton, something that I’m pretty sure was Kevlar or at least functions very similarly, a sidewalk that can generate power from people walking on it. I even think it featured an “invisibility cloak” so basically a mix of practicality and stages of development. It was fun. I feel like there were a lot of shows about futuristic stuff then on those channels (discovery package basically if u know u know) right before reality suffocated it. And I can’t find anything about them and they aren’t ever mentioned.








  • I’m the weirdo who always reads the privacy policy at the bare minimum. I’ve opted out of a lot of services/apps/games/sites because of their privacy policy over the years.

    Look it is bullshit they can get away with this crap but right now we only have the existing outdated legislation to work with. The absolute explosion of how technology and social media impacts the world has changed RAPIDLY in the last 15 years. It was once quaint that Obama did reddit AMA or posted a tweet.

    So my point is yes be mad but ultimately it is out responsibility to be proactive with the tools that we have, and that’s privacy policies and ToS. Like you’re skipping through the villain’s monologe laying out every step of their evil plan then shocked at the consequences.










  • I haven’t been fully tested but my doctor agrees it is likely I have ADHD and this is all new to me, grain of salt.

    I definitely do things without thinking. Drinking, snacking, vaping, reaching for phone just because my hands need to be busy. Mindless stuff.

    As for what I think most neurotypical people consider habits I have maybe one that is somewhat automatic for me and that is I ALWAYS do my skincare and teeth before bed. But part of that is because that routine is really good sleep hygiene. Like it is still a decision, still a bit of a chore, but it would feel VERY wrong and off if I didn’t do it.

    Then um let’s see I’ve been taking the same medication at the same time for over 15 years now and I still need an alarm on my phone and I have still forgotten to take it if I don’t take it that very second. At least most of the time later in the day I suddenly remember…



  • I never could get into it. I type like it’s a keyboard I actually don’t even look at the keyboard I am looking at the input field and glancing down if I have to. Swipe sucks for me and is way less accurate than my method and I actually have to focus on the keyboard just to have worse WPM. I also get pissed off cuz if my hands are at all wet the typing tries to swipe.

    P.s. it’s hilarious to me that this long existing android feature is treated like some unique cool thing when Apple finally adopts it 10 years later. Like wireless and fast charging. But yeah I’m lame cuz I have a green bubble and don’t use stupid personalized emoji thing
