software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman
I have strong opinions about #Lisp but love S-expressions. I also have strong opinions about video games, TTRPGs, software, and programming in general and I post about them a lot
I like to use curly braces to {group words together} to make my sentences easier to parse. for example, try reading the garden path sentence "the complex houses married and single soldiers and their families", and now try reading it with curly braces: "{the complex} houses {married and single soldiers and their families}"
I try to thoroughly CW anything that I post or boost which might be triggering, or just cause strong emotions like outrage or fear. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible. I even CW when I'm {complaining about} or {making fun of} something in case you don't want to hear a stranger criticize something you love
replying to messages is very energy-intensive for me, so I may not reply to certain messages at all, or it may take me a long time. DMs are especially hard

@lizzie there is a really good CGP Grey video about how anger makes folks dumber and can lead to spirals of outrage online. I’d definitely recommend giving it a watch if anyone is interested:
I think I’d enjoy survival games a lot more if:
- they didn’t have hunger/thirst mechanics
- or, hunger/thirst was only expended when doing actions so there wasn’t a constant time pressure
- or, hunger/thirst was paused while you were at your base so it was only a problem when you were searching outside of your base for more supplies
but omg having an omnipresent time limit that is refilled through constant tedium is so incredibly stressful and unfun to me
