0/🎹 music recommendation (i recommend, but do not require, that you send me one as well!) 1/📺 video recommendation (don't send me recommendations back, i won't have time to watch them) 2/💽 cool open-source software or services (you may specify a type of software/website you are looking for) 3/👽 Star Trek character (one I associate you with, or just random if I don't know you well enough) 4/🖖 Star Trek episode (you may specify a type of episode you are looking for, or ask for a way to get into the series) 5/🔣 Random fact (most likely about one of my interests)

If you involve yourself regularly with drama or queer community/fandom/social justice discourse, you may interact, but I will probably not follow back and may mute you if it is pervasive enough. You are encouraged to talk to me about controversial topics if and only if you are willing to accept that I may disagree with you, and hear me out. In return, I will keep an open mind to what you are saying. If you intend to cut me off, harass me, or go after my friends if I'm not convinced of your position, don't bother asking in the first place.

Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overtly sexual comments. Since I allow followers under 18, it may be best to move those conversations to another venue. Feel free to ask for my contact information on other platforms.

As long as I don't get too many asks about this to the point that it starts to feel like a job, I'll gladly answer any tech questions!

(If it starts to feel like a job, then I'll start demanding a living wage. But I enjoy helping folks.)

Many, many artists I've found by randomly browsing Bandcamp. One of them is Djrum/Struction! I like the controlled complexity and emotion he puts into techno music.

ooh! I have heard great things about the Jet Set Radio soundtrack and this did not disappoint. Excellent sampling and intensity, reminded me of Daft Punk.

I do struggle to understand or relate to other people's feelings, or read exactly how they're feeling. When I succeed at these things, I don't always recognize it as "empathy", and I don't always succeed in acting upon it. I definitely have empathy, it's just wonky.

But I don't need to have the exact same empathy as others to be a good person. For me, kindness is a philosophical commitment. It's the only way to act that makes sense.

I feel a bit weird interacting with people who have "proship dni", "endogenic system supporters dni", "bi lesbian supporters dni", or the opposites of any of those ("antis dni" or "sysmeds dni"), and especially weird interacting with "if you're neutral on [anything] dni"

Because while I have opinions, they tend to be nuanced and not encapsulated by binary labels like "pro" or "anti". I really hate how the Internet so often destroys all nuance in these usually rather complex topics. So especially considering that not everyone uses these terms the same way, I have no idea where I'd fall on some of these DNIs.

And I don't really want to state my opinions in detail just to see who's still willing to interact, because most of the time I don't care about the majority of these debates, and they are incredibly stressful and frustrating when they come up.

I wasn't able to find that album, though I could find albums with the same title by other artists. Could you link it?

Anyway, I'll just recommend the album I'm listening to right now: Black Noise by Pantha Du Prince

I also have a lot, but... somewhat less overlap than the average Neospring user. Since I rarely finish games, I basically consider any game I'm able to finish to be a favorite, with bonus points if I keep returning to it.

Doom (1993) + Doom II, Morrowind, WarioWare: Mega Microgame$, the first three Rhythm Heaven games, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, SuperTuxKart, the entire Ace Attorney series, Minecraft, and various arcade games such as Dig-Dug and Tetris.

Human nature is not fixed. We are capable of self-serving acts, selfless compassion, and uniformly harmful acts that neither help ourselves nor others. We evolved as social animals, but that can mean unconditional compassion toward all beings, or simply toward those within our "tribe". Besides, we also evolved to adapt to our surroundings, and because of that, civilization has been able to thoroughly reshape human nature, in both good and bad ways.

Instead of worrying about what human nature fundamentally is, think about what human nature should be, or what it is at its best, and try to embody that. That's not to say you should attempt physically impossible things, or ignore your needs and emotional realities, but you should use your ability to adapt and change to the benefit of yourself and the world. Be compassionate, and help build a society that will continue to produce compassionate humans.

Also, I had cereal.

What happens after death is fundamentally unknowable, because by definition, no one has come back from it. We can guess, but we won't know until it happens to us.

Plenty of people have come back from near death, and plenty of religious figures have claimed resurrection, but their reports are inconsistent. Though we do have some idea what causes near-death experiences.

I'm no synesthete, so I'll just say Autobahn is blue because of the album cover.

I legitimately cannot think of a clever comment for this. My two best ideas were trying to come up with a "Pastel's wager" (like Pascal's wager) and something to do with pasting Ls.

I've always wondered what the connection is between the paint and the plastic.

Do not jort them before their time.

uhhhhhh how about Captain Janeway

A library.

I've willingly written entire essays about lots of things, and I have a few more in me. The lore and politics of Star Trek, the aesthetic beauty of video game glitches, and the failures of online debate being among those essay topics.
