I don’t think we should mess around with space. We don’t need to be going out there looking at Martians and lasers n shit. We could just hang out here instead.

here's what I mean by 'unreality'

I posted Brian David Gilbert's short horror film "Earn 20K EVERY MONTH by being your own boss" with an in-text-body content warning:

"EXTREME unreality cues/derealization triggers including digital media degradation artifacts and unsettling shifts in narration"

You can watch it here for a sense of what I mean: https://youtu.be/wbfu39l0kxg

What the editing, which is very good, does for this video is give a sense of rupture: the video-itself, as a digital medium, breaks up and corrupts. the medium-disruption is structurally akin to the onset of a psychotic episode, which in my experience can manifest as a heightening of already-existing visual artifacts (like the 'color noise' one sometimes sees in the dark) or the sense that things are 'out of sequence' — déjà vu, for instance — or that one's environment is 'out of order' in a way that causes one to subconsciously seek out 'clues,' discordant pieces of information, that can escalate into a delusion.

the existence of "wrestlemania" also implies the existence of "wrestledepression"

wish i knew more about computer so i could use it for pick up lines

like "hey baby, i wouldn't mind pulling your requests, if you know what i mean 😉"

I feel like I might deserve some spanking

the way people *talk about* their refusal to CW psychosis triggers (I'm thinking in particular about 'unreality') bothers me much more than the refusal itself. because I do think people have the right and the agency to say "no, I can't CW for that."

I've seen people react to the concept of content warning for 'unreality' by

1) refusing to think even a little bit about what specifically is being asked for ('I can't CW for every time I say something that isn't true for a joke!' — that's not what an unreality trigger is, some people do have trouble interpreting untrue statements for jokes and they do sometimes ask for accessibility accommodations, which may *also be something you can't accommodate* but is a completely separate thing)

2) mocking or disputing the idea that someone might be on the Internet whose sense of reality is fragile and easily-derailed.

Number 1 could genuinely be a misunderstanding; 'unreality' is an unfamiliar concept. Number 2 is straight-up saneism.

decided what to save up my bitcoin for: a jetpack! might take a while.
