@asparagi Book I mentioned earlier today (see synopsis)

opting for the cheap one made me flunk an interview :c

i'm in japan! it's exciting.

it's so thoughtful!!!!

there's this cool new game from zachtronics called Eliza. it's about a machine-learning-y approach to mental health. it's incredibly seattle-based. @asparagi i think you would like it a lot!!!! it's also a visual novel so it requires very little keyboard interaction (i think there's shortcuts for everything but i'm not sure).

i'm not done with it yet, but it's hitting pretty close to home a lot so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfrS8fbhHSw

i got my new laptop set up! a cheap x230. i'm 9/10 pleased with it (wifi is finicky tho, but that might be my local network?)

@ian5v the people to the left of me are speaking german. the people in front of and to my right are speaking spanish.

defcon is pleasantly international. i have used both my spanish and my japanese so far.

spilled water in my laptop! it’s dead.

i do good backups so i’m fine but ugh, i wanted to stretch this one another 2-4 years.

interesting similar plot device to snow crash — the drummers having sex is like the blood transmission.

@asparagi per our discussion earlier today, an except from "a young lady's illustrated primer"

there is a dude at black dog rn who i have definitely seen before, wearing a patch that said

“yes, i’ve had black dog. no, it’s not that good.” or something roughly to that effect

#wearenameless looks fun and i want to participate.
