Things you can say to immediately mobilize large sections of the Fedi:
• “I think I might be a girl.”
• “I can’t make sound work on Linux.”
• “What kind of bug is this?”
• “I want to learn how to play the bass guitar.”
Who needs Ghidra when you have autism and a box of markers?

@simon_brooke ooh - thank you! this sounds interesting tbh. I kinda like the idea of using a really simple, minimal Lisp like this. I might play with this a bit
@kasdeya yeah like what about the roleplayers who will take your numbers-go-up rpg/mmo and turn it into a tapestry for nuanced human expression and storytelling. They've "optimised" to be more fun almost despite the systems and mechanics of the game.
I hate the feeling of emptiness when I’m between hyperfixations
I want to forget that I exist for a few hours while I write code in a new language or play a new game or something

It doesn't have to be "good"
It just has to be

"The moment someone believes their mission exempts them from reflection, they stop being a force for good." ~Loose Threads (Luke) youtube video link
This line was uttered in the context of analysing Ghibli villains that, in other contexts, might have been the hero, but it seems to explain my experience of seeing people purportedly fighting for social justice commit lateral violence
Often, they will have some sort of actual track record, but have teetered off the path, or be dismissive of others, or have a world view that, because they are marginalised, they are incapable of being the one doing the marginalisation.
We all grow up in societies that marinate us in their bigotries, and unless it's concerning a bigotry you're directly targetted by, it takes conscious, often life-long effort to undo those effects and be a force for positive change.
In that pursuit, self-examination and reflection are a key ingredient that drives everything else. Without it, knowledge is difficult to find and even more difficult to absorb. Empathy will lack the knowledge to drive it to positive action. Even empathy may become worn down by the cruelties of the world.
I know "check yourself becore you wreck yourself" is beyond meme status at this point, but it points yo this same truth: continued self-reflection with unclouded eyes is paramount to continue to change the world for the better 
It is kind of funny how this extremely 90s bro move of "ha, you thought you where playing a badass bounty hunter, but you where playing as a babe the entire time!" accidentally created an extremely transfem character.
Wine ages in the bottle because it isn't distilled. It is more than just alcohol. It has sugars, tannins, & other stuff that continue to react chemically to change the flavor profile. This change isn't always for the better. Depending on a huge variety of factors (temperature, light, type of grapes, etc.) wine quality generally follows a bell curve: it improves, peaks, then degrades. Most wine peaks between 6 months & 5 years old. Very old wine is bad but costly because people think it's linear.
If you buy a bottle of 3 year old Scotch and put it in your cupboard for twenty years until you bring it out for a special occasion, you don't have a bottle of 23 year old Scotch. You have a twenty year old bottle of 3 year old Scotch. Liquor ages in the barrel and picks up flavor from the wood. It doesn't pick up anything from the inert and nonporous glass bottle.
so that leaves me without any tech thing to hyperfixate on. if I go too long like this I might start to feel aimless lol. some ideas for what I could work on next:
