The Rise and Fall of Pronouns in Bio: He/Him

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

every ad in sf is like did you know about qooble.ai. get hip to the Smunk Agent. bleeple has it for you, and by "it" we mean LLMs. and half of them don't even elaborate on what qooble.ai Does. Buy Our Agentic Whatever. It Will Do Something. Maybe

there is so much on the screen that is not the document I’m editing and getting in the way of me doing that.

Hot take: You need all that.

Or maybe you don't! But then why are you in Word?

If you're just writing text, you've got a text editor. If you're in Word, you are editing a document and you have opinions on a bunch of stuff.

Boo. Boo that pdf viewer. I will sacrifice 1 cm of screen real estate to my current document viewer if that's what it takes to drive zathura adoption down

Real talk though, I did immediately open up the doc reader I normally use to take a look.

When I give the reader half a screen, it fits 1 A4 page + an outline bar pretty perfectly. If the program stopped offering a classic window with OS trimmings and allowed the document to stretch from top to bottom entirely, yea, I'd get 1 cm more space, or equivalent of about 3% more zoom - but then, it'd also get 7mm wider, making the outline even narrower.

If your typical use doesn't require you to have the outline open, I guess that might be a reasonable trade off. I'm just going to stick with the reader that comes with my distro though :D

Real Rorschach Test: Let's examine your responses as a jumping off point to help you understand your own mind better.

What people think the Rorschach Test is: The inkblots can read your thoughts. The inkblots know you better than you know yourself. The inner workings of your mind are naked before the omniscience of the inkblots.

I am always shocked that media can’t differentiate psychologists from psychics. The amount of undergrad Psychology graduates who are functionally omniscient is truly staggering.

It probably didn't help that at some point they tried to "standardise" the ink-blots of "The" Rorschach test. That led some people to believe that there were "correct" answers.

There's only one

Two bears high-fiving

this guy tried extremely hard in the 60s and 70s to turn the rorschach from a vibe check into an objective, scientific test, with *psychologist voice* statistically significant correlations between coded features of responses and psychiatric symptoms. he wrote huge thick manuals full of how to score and code rorschach tests, which you can download from libgen, and they're some of the best and least appreciated pseudoscience i have ever seen

It was more than 50 years ago that I first laid hands on a set of Rorschach blots. I remember it vividly because I was awestruck at the prospect of being permitted into the inner sanctum of clinical psychology. During the next two years, I became even more excited about the test as I served as a summer intern, first with Samuel Beck and then with Bruno Klopfer. There were no limits to my admiration for the seemingly magical ways that they culled information about people from no more than a handful of Rorschach answers. They became two of my professional models, not just because of the wonders they could perform with the Rorschach, but because they were also extraordinarily sensitive about people. At that time, 1 had no idea about my own future with the test, but I did sense that something was wrong in the world of the Rorschach. This was because of the considerable animosity that Beck and Klopfer conveyed toward each other and because of the markedly different approaches that they used when addressing the data and substance of the test. I was truly baffled when I learned that they had not communicated with each other after 1939.

This is what I would do if I was Count Binface and I actually won:

Resign from office on the grounds that I only ran for the bants, triggering a further by-election

Immediately announce my candidacy for the by-election.

got followed by a default pfp with no bio that does nothing but rt yuri and furry art. you know what you might be a bot but you're cool. I'll tolerate the robot lesbians

update: the robot lesbian is currently dozed off with it's arms around me. funny how that works out.
