And let's be honest, many of them don't even have full access consciousness.

Anyway, they're difficult to kill because they have no qualia in their heads.

Resident Evil 10 (ResiTEN Evil) covers the emergence of the P-Virus. It's spread via podcasts. Infected develop a rash world view, then mutate into obedient P-Zombies. P-Zombies are outwardly indistinguishable from everyday humans, and have full access consciousness but no phenomenal consciousness.

Presuming the US gets something resembling a real, human President at some future time, it's going to be shocking when they don't generate a daily stream of progressively worsening scandals. Imagine just being able to focus on eating your soup and tying your shoes and stuff.

He had $11.29 on a Starbucks gift card and a hot lady's phone number in there.

Sorry for the typos. At work.

While we're at it, let's set up stipends for the basic living expenses of people who want to run for office, so you don't have to be rich to run. There should be equal access to participation.

Let's making national voting a two-day holiday wherein everyone is legally guaranteed at least one of those two days off from work, and let's make campaigns 100% tax funded. That way, all the rich have to do to make big campaign contributions is pay their taxes.

Living in the United States feels like Final Fantasy VI with Trump as Emperor Gestahl, no General Leo, and several dozen Kefkas running around. Based on vibes alone, I'm saying Stephen Miller is Ultros.

Somehow, this made me think Imp Praxis would be a good name for a metal band.

I thought of Pete Hegseth's Nazi tattoos and frat boy attitude, and the phrase Hans Lamda came to mind. 😆

If by desert you mean Arizona, and by throne you mean toilet, that feels like something that already exists.

But you also can't ride a bike without joints. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

They can also deputize anyone to act as pit crew--a duty for which dereliction is punishable by summary execution. This is why all NASCAR drivers carry a pearl-handled, chrome-plated magnum revolver with a laser sight.

Human life is here and now. We must learn to feed, clothe, and house our neighbors. We must keep solemnly steward our wild places. War, greed, and overpopulation must not be allowed. There will be no second chances after we trigger catastrophic collapse.

And what mission would we undertake if we could survive the intense radiation and micrometeors encountered during a 70k to 250k-year journey? Set several dozen inbred people down on a lifeless, zero-infrastructure rock, so far away it takes multiple centuries to hear their broadcasts?

Crewed travel outside of our solar system is impossible/futile. It would probably take a space shuttle ten years or more just to travel the 1 AU to our own sun. It's 100k to 200k AU just to clear the Oort Cloud!

I suspect pentagon involvement.

A friend was walking outside while I slept.

I had a nightmare that I was alone with Gavin Newsom and he asked me if I liked Huey Lewis and the News. 😆

I want to see everyone in the current administration remembered as VIP, by which I mean Villains in Prison.

I played many hours of Slay the Spire 2 today. It's just as interesting as I was hoping for, but I don't enjoy the new playable characters very much. I'll have to experiment with their play styles more.

Napoleon said, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Chuck Schumer has taken that advice and really, reeeeally run with it.

You can de-rot it by dumping it in boiling water, tho.

I brought donuts to work today to celebrate the release of @megacrit.com's Slay the Spire 2. A guy has got to celebrate, sometimes.

There Will Be Blood is a fairly violined movie.

So THAT's what a sextant is for!

How novel would it be if there were no crises tomorrow?

From now on, I'll be doing Psyop Saturday on this account, wherein I never mention anything about Psyops on Saturdays, but I keep mentioning that Saturdays are going to be Psyop Saturdays.

To be fair, most of that energy is used by surveillance programs, so it's really more like 2 cents of electricity to send the text and $39.98 to read it.

My coping method includes giving myself time to feel my feelings, identifying the trigger, then taking steps to address it. Even a small action can grant relief. Having done so, I'm off to bed. I find therapy in my dreams.

Goodnight!
