    I feel like these are grim times and naturally most of us are going to be affected. Probably reassessment of medication can help, but I would caution there’s a limit to what medication can actually do. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this, and tbh suspect this may have a lot to do with long stretches of a straight line on my mentioned x-y axes. And while stability is desirable, that doesn’t mean real events don’t affect where that line floats on the y axis.

    That’s how it is for me, and I was somehow able to do it without medication where medications would help for a little while, then didn’t. But I spent about three months largely to myself, stopping substances, and doing some really horrific shadow work, so there’s that. At first I was definitely on a high, now it’s just mostly level. I still have the highs and lows but graphing it on x-y axes would look like long stretches of straight line with a few small hills and dips spread out here and there.

    Nicotine withdrawal upcoming and oh boy …

    While Meta’s glasses have an indicator light when their cameras and microphones are watching and listening as a mechanism to warn others that they are being recorded, Ardayfio said that the Halo glasses, dubbed Halo X, do not have an external indicator to warn people of their customers’ recording. “For the hardware we’re making, we want it to be discreet, like normal glasses,” said Ardayfio, who added that the glasses record every word, transcribe it, and then delete the audio file. Privacy advocates are warning about the normalization of covert recording devices in public… Under the hood, the smart glasses use Google’s Gemini and Perplexity as its chatbot engine, according to the two co-founders. Gemini is better for math and reasoning, whereas they use Perplexity to scrape the internet, they said.

    These evil af people.
