I appreciate you asking.

I’m working on a sequel, but I’ve been sidetracked recently. Happy to talk about whatever, but I’m not terribly consistent.

e: if you do read it, I’d love a review. It would really help with my sequel development. Thanks!

Dm me. I’d love to talk about it. 😊

In my state, there’s no assumption of marital property, so each party has no claim unless they can show the divorce will create a hardship, which my lawyer wouldn’t do.

Yes, him not showing up for court wasn’t legal, but that’s on me to bring a claim, and I can’t afford to do that.

No apology needed. I really do appreciate your advice, and I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. There’s a point where there’s no real solution, but that’s really hard to accept, even vicariously.

I’m always open to a hail mary (in the football sense, not the catholic sense).

It’s making me nostalgic for Chuck E Cheese.

Thank you for the kind words, and I do appreciate your comment.

I’ve sought local groups in the past – unfortunately now I am 100% homebound and there’s no ‘dragging’ myself to meetings. It’s not because it’s ‘unpleasant’. I cannot even leave the house for doctor appointments. It’s not a matter of will – it’s a physical impossibility now.

I get that it’s hard to understand, but some conditions are literal physical barriers, not mental ones. And it’s also hard to understand, but no amount of philosophical ‘engaging with the universe’ can overcome the physical torment of a degenerative disease. That’s very hard to understand if you’ve always been healthy, because it’s too far outside your paradigm.

I honestly appreciate your advice, and I really wish what you’re saying could help, but I didn’t just slide into this mentality because I hadn’t already tried all that. (eta: I tried everything I could to not give up my career – it was my calling and what gave me purpose; everything from counselling to support groups to alternative medicine to weird diets, to therapies and even psychedelic drugs to reset my nervous system.) I’ve always been a fighter, I meditate a lot, and I’ve tried all the things. I’ve actively looked for solutions this whole time. Some problems are bigger than that, and our society is currently actively against people in my situation.

Thank you, but the fact that I’m still here is my biggest problem right now, and I’m not yet willing to fix that part.

I’m sorry you feel that way. The fact that society is completely geared for abled, conforming people leaves people like us with no support whatsoever and that’s not fair.

I’d love to talk with you about your ideas. Feel free to PM me. I’m happy to help.

They literally named it ‘Deus in Machina’.

This feels very dystopian and, honestly, hella blasphemous.

"So we can say they had a religiously positive moment with this AI Jesus," he told the Guardian. "For me, that was surprising."

Whether that's an endorsement of the tech or a sign that visitors to the church are particularly gullible remains unclear.

Well, I have a guess.

A quicker way to eliminate a variable would be to pour a glass of each to the same level and leave them both out for a day or two. If the levels remain consistent, it’s definitely something about the decanter.
