Comfortable, Decent Quality Bedding Will Change Your Life I'm So Serious

Further, farther, faster!

Hell, if the bots get better at handling it, you can just do it MORE! Layers of human-parsable obscurity that force bots to waste ever more time to do literally anything useful with this data! Use ã and é instead of a and e, use | instead of l or I, × instead of x...

Be ungovernable.

Ruin ai datasets.

Write yo shit.

You know how spammers use similar characters to replace actual letters to get by filters? Doing that to your writing would give a slightly bizarre visual and utterly annihilate any basic scraping tools, because visual interpretation of characters is wildly more time and resource intensive than plaintext ripping.

It might help or severely hinder dyslexic people, though.

Also some browsers/OS might have trouble loading them?

ɬɧıʂ ƙıŋɖą ɬɧıŋɠ. ɬơɬąƖƖყ ʄųƈƙ ῳıɬɧ ɬɧɛ ʂƈཞą℘ıŋɠ ɖɛ۷ıƈɛ.

None of that will at all register correctly to a scraper. It's in Unicode, so it'll work wherever.

Boldtext.io is the one I used, but there's plenty of ways to do it. You could even do multiple at once and make undoing it basically impossible, but still have it be readable to humans (auto readers or whatever for the visually impaired, not so much...)

Just gotta pick the style you like that's as clear as possible while also being literal gibberish to any quick digital scan method.

Or

ᑭᑌT TᕼIᔕ ᔕEᑎTEᑎᑕE IᑎTO GOOGᒪE ᗩᑎᗪ ᗩᔕK IT TO ᖇEᗩᗪ IT OᑌT ᒪOᑌᗪ.

That second one is almost plain, and none of those characters should be used that way. It just produces gibberish where it can figure out what a particular character is technically displaying.

Some ai might be able to handle this. It will still be an extra layer of defense.

I'll take reduced reading speed for total digital obscurity and I'll be happy.

I told a year seven friend I listen to Hatsume Miku and they asked why I would want to listen to an AI.

They aren't my friend anymore

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

How to Sharpen Executive Functions: Activities to Hone Brain Skills

Executive functioning skills range from working memory to cognitive flexibility to inhibitory control, and beyond. They power our daily func

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

i would like samus to look a bit monster-y in the metroid suit. fangs to match.

Every song in the Metroid Prime subseries is like. *auto parts factory soundscape* *geiger counter noise* *haunting MIDI choir sample* *fork scraping against a plate* and you listen to it for 7 hrs without getting bored

They say we have capitalism.

I'm not sure that's actually true anymore? Like sure it was crony capitalism for a long while, but I'm not sure our current status actually qualifies as capitalism. We technically have the ability to buy whatever, up to and and including laws, except only the uppermost possible bank accounts actually have all of that, everyone else just has "work forever to maybe get food regularly" and that just doesn't sound like capitalism, that sounds like "we own you, we just let you pretend otherwise" which has a name, and it's not capitalism.
