Got free-running vision after enough Mirrors Edge. Not literally painted red, but might as well been.

Click on all the squares containing a human weak spot.

In a normal world, someone in power who immediately starts blaming without any proof or cause or connected reason, should have been marked as crazy and shamed out of any place of power. I don’t care if its left or right or between. They should be as relevant as those who blame aliens for building the pyramids. They have no place deciding the fate of others.

That a lot of US are so ready to fight immigrants that they dont mind their politicians jumping blindly to conclusions and seeing enemies everywhere… Its scary. Even on this side of the Atlantic.

Veidt asked the precognitive being if his plans for utopia would come to be, and if it was all worth it in the end. Osterman cryptically responded by saying “Nothing ever ends”, and teleported away leaving Veidt once again in doubt as to whether or not his plan was successful.

From what I understood, he spent the whole story acting super-sure about what would happen if he did nothing, and how he alone could fix it. But in the end of the comic, this showed he had doubts. Veidt didnt have precognition, just very good prediction. But also an over-inflated ego. He killed a lot of people for a “maybe”.

I cant see Ozymandias as a good guy. At all. None of the “heroes” are, but Oz was the worst of them.

My first dreams and memories is from around 3 year old too. And yes, I too can only guess if it was real or dreams from context. Maybe a mix?

One cool thing is that I recently got one memory confirmed from a photograph I’ve never seen until now. 34-ish years later. Damn impressive what brains choose to remember sometimes.

My usual dream location I’ve returned to so often that I know where places are in relation to each other. It is a patchwork of my home area but with nearby areas that I can’t remember ever having seen IRL. Almost all my dreams, since I was a kid, takes place in this personal dream realm.

It has expanded with new places as I’ve grown though. Latest addition is a cruise ship, with extremely many decks, and a single one-person elevator. I had a room at 58th floor of 85 floors(!) in my dream a few weeks ago. And I had some trouble getting the elevator to the right floor, of course. I always have trouble getting places in dreams.

Another strange quality is that sometimes events of a dream triggers my memory of an older and often forgotten dream. Not as old as OPs, but usually weeks or months back.

Having a job with the right level of challenges, and freedom to approach it how one want, is the best job to have. I’ve worked at a place like that for more than a decade now. I could probably move on to better paid jobs, but I’m hesitant to let go of my current workplace.

First winter in a long while that hasn’t been hell, the new anti-depressants stopped my winter depression. And even helped a bit against my year round depression.

I’ve started a weekly swimming session too. Haven’t been good at following it after the snow came, but its still progress.

Same. Haven’t found one I like the smell of yet. I’d rather shower more often than use them.

The guy from that Castaway movie.

Simple: For most people (not everyone) even the thought of it releases stupid happy drugs in brain. It suppresses the feeling of disgust very effectively. Free will my ass, we are chained to those brain chemicals.

Weirdly enough a lot of humans are very opinionated on who are allowed to think about who, even if the brain chemicals doesn’t give a shit. Its all a big mess really and earth would probably be better off if humans didn’t produce these chemicals.

I make lot of decisions on emotions too. The joy of helping people. The pain of seeing others suffer. Admiration of what people create. Fear for someones safety. Anger of hearing about unfairness.

What I don’t get is why so many of these “emotional” people dont seem to have any emotions like that. How is it to live like that? Only living with emotions like fear for oneself and oneself only? This isn’t a fight between logic on one side and emotion on the other. Not science versus beliefs either. It is empathy versus greed. The only emotion these assholes has is a fear of losing whats “theirs”, I’m pretty sure. And if scientific reasoning says its smart to share, of course they disregard it.

Like I seem to glance at the clock every day around the same time, wondering how long it is until my workday (or schoolday in my younger years) is over. Somehow its always exactly at 13:37.

When you have a place to live and can afford a bucket of candy, I think it is an obligation to everyone who wants this tradition to continue to stay at home (yours or someone else if youre having a halloween party) and give out candy to the kids and compliment their costumes.

But other than that, nah, no age limit as long as you can still say thanks and enjoy it.

I’ve always felt theres multiple sides to Microsoft. Theres devs making a damn good and simple product. Then comes the enterprise devs that over-engineer the product. Then theres the marketing coming in and try to buy up competition or bundle the product with other products to force it on people (MS way of advertising). And THEN the suits either ruin the product for money or shutting it down for not either making enough money or for not helping their enterprise products make money (like for example VSCode is a product that helps MS make money on Azure).

Browsers. Firefox hasnt given me reason to doubt. Yet. And I find that odd. Still uses it. Because every other big browser have given me reasons.

Generally “free” stuff from big companies is giving me more and more the heebie-jeebies. Even if they have good reputation. But there’s NO WAY I could ever pay for everything I use. Nor donate to every deserving person who has given their free time to create and publish FOSS.

Just within software development:

• JS (I’m using TS everywhere now).
• Php (old project I’m hoping we’re getting rid of).
• VB (old code was somewhy written in VB).
• MySQL (feels like Oracle doesnt really care about its C# connectors).
• SQL-queries directly in code (I’m pushing as hard as I can for any kind of ORM, but somehow my fellow devs doesnt find it as practical).

Demons and Wizards

Oh. Damn. I’ve been listening to those songs for a decade.
