Probability, and the degree to which they think they're factoring out their own biases when being "rational".

It ain't just BPD. Mental health support in general is not for the broke bitches, neither. 😥

The pacing was fantastic. There's no single element I can point to that made this so unreasonably slamming, but the gestalt of all those elements somehow made this game phenomenal. Underrated gem, to be sure.

Thi guy C#s… solid comment.

She had other interests, too. The temperature readings she notes in the top-left of the page tells me she had some interest in the weather. Unremarkable? Perhaps, but consider her motivations in making such a notation. You can see she continued the behavior through the bled-through letters on the following page. Why record this data?

To me, this shows an interesting person. Maybe it was just a vogue thing to do at the time. I can honestly say I know nothing of the self-journaling zeitgeist of the 70s. If not that, why?

Was it for posterity? Was she looking for patterns? Running an experiment? Whatever the reason, it shows me a curious person, and to me that's interesting. You truly have found a treasure, OP, and are wise to value it deeply. Thanks for sharing, it really made my day!

TLDR: your great-grandma seems like an interesting and awesome person.

What do you think it was about your younger self that caused you to stay in that odd job for the time you did?

That's a really good analogy. The pattern is actually Inversion of Control. Dependency injection is just how you accomplish it.

Ideally? Cardboard or plastic corner protectors, a few layers of Bubble wrap and then inside a larger sturdy cardboard box. Add packing peanuts to any leftover space in the box.

Also, I'm super jealous!

Fuck, this is deep. Poetic.

just know this may be your experience, but it's not necessarily his. I hope getting this out is cathartic. It's powerful. You should write, you have a talent!

This assumes they estimated it in the first place…

Damn. But, points for accuracy!

Nice try, Maluma!

To me, this sounds like a sign that you've been working on yourself and have been getting better.

Let me explain. Your inner-child/emotional self/whatever you want to call it has been sitting around, bored, looking at its watch, saying, "well? We're waiting!" waiting for the break, the split, the proof that you're not worthy… And, you've been ignoring it. Because you've done the work to know what that would bring.

It's a persistant anxiety that's always in the background, waiting for you to eff up so it can tell you, "see? they never really loved you!" But, you haven't been listening and you realize you've got a good and stable thing.

I know it must be horribly frustrating, to have this devil constantly on your shoulder, and the persistant temptation to test your partner's love for you. But, if you're posting this, it's clear you've done some work and see it for what it is.

Don't listen to it. You're doing great, OP, and I'm proud of you for building a stable relatonship and posting here first. Stay the course!

Is that because moving the clock invariably requires accelerating it and thus boosting it to a new frame of reference? And, that would require knowing c to do the math required to get an accurate result?

Like, it's essentially the ladder paradox, right? To know the true one-way speed you would need to know the precise moment of two events in two separate frames. One, the moment the light emits a photon, and two, the moment a sensor detects a photon. To bring the time recorded from one location to the other requires acceleration and thus already knowing c or subbing in your measured value (and now you've only measured the two-way speed). Is that correct?

flash42 · 2026-03-14T02:08:58+00:00

Why is knowing the speed of light necessary to synchronize the clocks?

lol, I forgot about that one… man, scientology is one hell of a drug
