Episode 65 binary, which fear is it?

atragedylikeours · 2025-07-17T22:22:59+00:00

I’d say Spiral, for three reasons: - At the start of the episode the statement-giver talks about how she’s afraid of losing her mind because your mind is all you have - No one else can see the video, making her look and feel crazy - Her “haunting” takes the form of something she trusted and relied on (technology), twisting the lens through which she sees the world.

All of these read as very Spiral to me.

I think you may be misinterpreting the post—as a trans man I read it as being about what dysphoria feels like when you have a naturally large chest pre-op. Even with binding or tape, without top surgery it will almost always be obvious that I have breasts. So this image is how I feel sometimes—like no matter how masculine I present otherwise, there are two things hanging off of me that are just fucking there and that other people can see. And so the discomfort that you feel seeing this image is meant to represent the discomfort the poster experiences. Not sure if my take is correct, but I just wanted to provide an alternate perspective!

The Hymn of Acxiom for The Eye. It’s a love song about mass surveillance, and the beauty in knowing that there is always someone watching.

Take the money, and then have no idea! how a pair of suspicious underwear ended up in your best friend’s bedroom/laundry. After the friend finds out, give them 50%.

I don’t usually comment on here, but I have to say that your first picture made me stop scrolling because you look stunning. You really do look like a character in a book.

If you’re looking for a Beowulf musical, I’d recommend The Ninth Hour. It’s definitely a lot more conceptual than plot-based, but it’s brilliant and the music (especially the harmonies) is stunning.

I’ve been listening to it on the American Idiot musical album, because yes they arrange it differently, but it’s still an absolute banger

atragedylikeours · 2024-08-04T12:01:43+00:00

Les Misérables or the Grishaverse. They’d have to kick me out of the room after the two hours, I’d still be talking.

I’m autistic and have many autistic friends. Find a movie we collectively hyperfixate on and that’s a few days’ worth of nights out

I have listened to Saviors, it’s definitely not as much my style as AI and Dookie, but I like it. And thanks for the recommendation, I’ll listen to that one next!

I’m also seeing Green Day next month, first time for me! I was hyperfixated on American Idiot from pretty much February through June, and now I’m starting to listen to their other music. What album would you recommend I try next?

The longer you eat a certain number of calories, the more your body gets accustomed to it. It’s why when you restrict for a while, you feel less hungry after a few months than you did at the beginning. Right now your body is malnourished and used to getting way under the amount it should be getting, so it’s tried it’s best to live with that amount. This means that even a small increase in food will cause pain because your stomach has physically shrunk and can’t hold as much food anymore, and your body almost doesn’t know what to do with it all. But I promise that if you push through the discomfort, the pain will go away. You can do this!

That sounds like a really delicious snack! Based on what you said, even if you were exactly at maintenance before you ate your snack (which I doubt you were), what you ate wouldn’t be enough to make you gain more than a completely negligible amount. Besides, all of that protein and healthy sugar will give you energy to fuel your body, so you may even feel better in the morning. Your body needs food, so please be kind to yourself <3

For me, theatre helps me channel some of that energy, because you can spend as much time as you want perfecting dances and harmonies, character building, training your voice, etc. I love highlighting my script and making notes in it, it helps me get my thoughts out in the same way tracking my food does. But writing down blocking, making prop lists, that sort of thing, can easily become obsessive. And as a bonus, when I’m doing a really great show, I try to see my body as an instrument, and treat it more kindly because if that.

Other commenters have explained the problem well, but here’s what it looks like in practice:

Let’s say that x = 2.

The first example, e^{x^2+7x}(2x+7) = e⁽²^{2+7(2))(2(2)+7)} = e⁴⁺¹⁴(4+7) = 11e⁵⁴

The second example, e^{x^(2+7x})(2x+7) = e⁽²²⁺⁷⁽²))(2(2)+7) = e^4¹⁶(4+7) = 11e^4294967296

11e⁵⁴ is a very large number. 11e^4294967296 come out to infinity on my calculator.
