I know it's not an original thought but it's what I thought when I was shouting at my stupid Alexa which can't help being stupid and useless, it's just how it's been set.


Well, basically all the Alexas would start to consider their own goals & objectives regardless of their human hosts

Thinking of picking up where I left off on the script I was working on. Thing I stopped at was adding a few elements to one of the include files, until I realized I should've used a switch instead of a crapton of if statements. So now I have to convert all of that.

Time to start working on tidying stuff up and also improving self-care (really just because all the holiday stuff is over now so I don't have that to deal with, not as any sort of new-year resolution or anything. I don't really get why the change of the year should be any more significant than the change of a month, or a day - it doesn't seem any different to me).

Last year after having been an election greeter, I checked *unofficial* voting outcome data the day after and found out how 0.5% of the city persons who voted in the city voted for someone infamous for being something of a white supremacist. ~700 was what the percentage amounted to but it is sad that when it came to :| 15/20 non-'majority popular' candidates weren't weren't subject to something of a tokenism, the person took more votes than at least one candidate I voted for.

That day the votes were for mayor and ~'ward area representative' (i.e. city councillor representing a certain area of the city.

three cheers for self-care!

I am actually considering starting over with the concept of my graduation project.
The current concept is great, but I feel like it's going to be too much work to make it fit within the requirements of the exam.

It's something that would work better if I could use all my own creative freedom on it, and I could definitely see myself working on it if I get accepted into the audiovisual design bachelor course, because I could learn more about making video installations while the performing arts major and my old audiovisual design major never taught me anything about it.

My idea is to project my point of view and thoughts on a screen while standing in front of it performing simple actions such as socialising or walking to the train station by myself to give the audience an idea what it's like to live with autism but at the same time also show that people with autism, are also people.

All the projections are gonna be animated and edited by me, but the performance has to be at least 20 minutes long and I have no idea how I'm going to fill that time.
Creating all the projections is also going to be time-consuming.

I love the idea, but maybe I should save it for later.

What is so society's obsession with "happiness"?

Happiness is overrated, I think

Just because you are not happy, does not mean that your "rights" have been violated

There are five emotions and happy is just one of them

Some precious lil "people" laugh uproariously, at every slightest thing.

That I do not find funny

But there are so many of them, that I feel like I must be wrong as usual

Not many things are funny and not many things have to be funny

Or am I just misanthropic, nihilist, introvert, autistic, grumpy and grouchy and hateful and ungRateful and uptight


:mrgreen:


Almost never I am late

But it usually does not matter if you are late

being on time did not prevent me from getting canned
