  • We never pulled the “could’ve gone pro” stuff but we were in an athletic program that put way too much pressure on us. And we were also a “former gifted student” who was just unmedicated AuDHD with special interests that aligned well with certain school subjects. It’s really sad thinking about it, we used to love learning because we did it for fun. We used to love sport and being active for the same reason. We’re still trying to rediscover that joy to this day. We had nightmares about showing up to a fitness test “too fat” for the better part of a decade after we stopped competing. We are still averse to reading for or learning if there’s even the slightest bit of pressure attached to it. We want to go back and undo these things so badly aubrey-rage-cry








  • Airbus said a recent incident had revealed that solar flares may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.

    This is incredibly interesting, I hope the final report includes specific details of the data corruption and what they did to fix it. Actually it’s more interesting because the fix is reverting to a previous software version so they somehow introduced a vulnerability to single event upsets I’m guessing. I’d love to know how often these sort of events happen (not just when they cause issues but bit-flips in general). I know that flying high they are exposed to higher levels of radiation than on the ground.



  • It is much easier to agree to disagree when your uncle isn’t voting to strip you of your civil rights

    Sighs this apathy for other people’s suffering is so tiring. “It doesn’t affect me negatively so it’s not worth shunning the imperialism-enabler” is not the moral victory this person seems to imply.

    I’m so tired of this, how do we change it? Does anybody have advise that has worked on helping people find a sense of solidarity?
