: More often than I get told that what I point out and worry about is not actually a thing that happens... I watch it happen in real-time. I think it's a frog-in-a-pot kind of thing for people, but egos gotta do a protecc, especially the weak ones.

: So far, the only podcasts I have found that I at all enjoy and want to listen to serially are ones about physics and physics/science history, cinema criticism and history, horror literature and history, and historicism... and comedy and comedy history.

: A few times since I was maybe thirty, people have asked if I could be like someone in particular, as in as smart or talented or whatever, be able to do something(s) like they could/can, and for a while that was impossible to answer. It was so because I had to actually think about it. It's a lot to sort through. I eventually got it down to three candidates:
Orson Welles, Freeman Dyson, or Sergey Rachmaninov.
That is as far down as I can winnow it, alas.
: True fact. I learned long ago that if I don't push through and get shit done, take care of things, then most of the time the shit won't get done... or worse, it will get done badly and require doing over... or worse, all of that will happen *and* people will still tell me I owe them or some crap and never STFU about it. It's a fait accompli, and I'm Absurddhist about it. One day at a time, yanno.

: When they show up I'll ask them why my ride was so damn late. Then I'll get my original body back once I get home.

2/2: ...said, I will see both eventually. Another reason I haven't seen them is in part that I am kinda allergic to movie and literary zeitgeist. Yes, I was long ago dx'ed wthat Oppositional Defiance thing. I don't doubt both movies are at least good and fairly entertaining, especially Barbie, given how many delta male dipshits are complaining about it.
I'm weird like this.

: I will try and ultimately fail not to cop an attitude if I am requested to do work, given a time and place to show up, and a window of time set aside to do it in and find upon arrival lollygagging, slowpokery, and unpreparedness. When I show up to work, I show up to work. I can cut up and chit-chat and do the job at the same time. Over and above that, I can even chew bubble gum as well. Triple-threat, me.

: I am a #residentalien, and I do quite like Earth. Next to #doggos, humans are quite my favorite species.
: my reaction when randos, family, or friends try to argue that they're correct and I am not about something in my field(s) of Special Interest
No rhetorical tricks are going to work out, and they will NOT like finding me at home.
Ask me how I know.

: This is what it feels like not infrequently to have usually involuntary data processor and extrapolator in your brain all the time, even if you can manage it. Gotta stay on top of it and keep it corralled, contained enough, and on all the tracks. Equilibrium in an open enough system, as any physicist and mathematician will tell you, is always a moving target. It keeps you on your toes, sho nuff.

: I've not gone to bed, of course. I woke up yesterday at just shy of 3 PM EST after going to be at just before 8 AM EST. I'm going to try to stay up until at least 10 or 11 AM EST today, just to make things interesting.
My relationship with circadian rhythm has been complicated all of my life. That said, the older I've gotten, the better I am at managing it... 7 times of 10, maybe 6 times but at least half the time.
