    So today I learned that in Korean Zen, they apparently elect their roshis and I think that's cool as fuck.

  • A ce point ci, je pense que l'idée de voter blanc parmi une partie de la gauche était une psyop. C'est comme ca que les gens non révolutionnaires puissent se sentir révolutionnaires pendant une seconde pendant qu'ils font rien pendant cinq ans et tout ça en entrant dans le jeu de ceux qui cherchent à éliminer le peu de pouvoir qu'on a.

  • donthatedontkill finished reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

    Just finished. This was my second read. And much more longer and drawn out then the first. And a different order. And as a different person even maybe. I did not detective work, understood much more, maybe also got infected by the house (please imagine that's in blue) madness.

    Anyway, I made it out the other side, but I still live at the end of a five and a half minute hallway.

    Listening to this playlist. Going from Reminiscence to In the Androgynous Dark during the climax of the book (End of chapter 20) was fucking amazing.

    Well got back home. Did the cry. Tried to make some almost homemade ginger beer. Forgot the carbonation. Second little cry. And now I think I'm going to lay in the couch and watch the ceiling. I don't feel like I'm doing amazing. I feel very useless.

    But I did make it out I guess, which is not nothing.

  • Well the bike ride started well but ended in defeat. I got lost and.... Even writing that is making me feel some kind of way. I ended up having a cussing fit and took a look at myself and said this is having the opposite effect that it was supposed to and realized there was a train station a five minutes ride away. In less than an hour I'll be back home where I can have a little cry and pick myself back up.
    Im not ready to go back to work Thursday.

  • donthatedontkill commented on Pythagore à la plage by Jean-Paul Delahaye

    I forgot how deceptively cultural math is. I'm not referring to the ancient Greeks here; I'm referring to modern French culture. The words used, the way of thinking about arithmetic... But it still comes down to the same conclusion.

    Maybe it's because I'm not French and there's certain references I should have understood but i was a bit hard to follow the story parts. But I did like seeing how Nantes was autrefois

  • Today I spent the day starting to set up basic things on my new CachyOS installation, and while this part is always a bit long, it's also a nice to take inventory of what I'm using, especially since some of those choices were made before I decided to go FLOSS as much as possible and think about information privacy. Just said good bye to a lot of browser extensions, changed out Thunderbird for Betterbird and we'll see what's next!

    So after more time than I care to say (😅) I got it working. I'm not sure what happened but my guess is two things at the same time. 1) X box controllers have two different pairing modes. Mine was probably in the wrong one. 2) Maybe i need to update my Bluetooth drivers? Secret #3) Updating my x box controllers firmware?

    Honestly, who knows. But like gift horse's mouth to the left and my eyes to the right is about where I am at.

  • Trying to get my xbox controller to connect on CachyOS (booting through the test usb, maybe part of the problem). Not discoverable, even after the firmwear update. (Actually one was discoverable before the update.)
    Reading forum posts and the number of people who have absolutely no shame in saying Grok/Copilot/ChatGPT told me to do this (and then sometimes copy wholesale the response) is staggering. Pena ajena. Anyway, if you're reading this and have any tips, I'm all ears.

  • Please understand that if you ask me to join you and a friend I don't know somewhere where we need to be social and I ask you if they are going to be weird and exoticize me, one of the few wrong answers you can give is to start lecturing me about how all French people are not the same. I will definitely not come then. (This goes for just about any time a friend is looking for reassurance from xenophobia, racism, homophobia, etc. in an unknown setting.)

  • Rough night. Couldn't get to sleep. Felt weird muscle tension and anxiety. Finally took half over an OTC sleeping pill at a little past midnight and now I'm waking up at noon. Ho ve. I thought the sleep was getting better. At least I was able to stay in bed until I feel like the pill had mostly worn off, but the next day is always a little.... wonky.

    @tiefling It could be worse. I've been doing well. I spent a lot of the day the library today. I'm getting some rest and away from the Bad Situation. But I just think I'm going to need more than a week to get right again. If I'm still dropping things and falling down (among other burnout symptoms), I'm not sure a week is going to be enough for that.
