@Aella_Girl @RealDianeYap Having a child is difficult, but there’s a switch in your brain that flips that makes you literally not care at all. It’s very hard to explain to someone who hasn’t had kids. Yes it’s hard. It sounds awful. When you’re in it you don’t care and it’s great.

@RealDianeYap i mean often people accurately describe their babies and people accurately have a reaction of 'that seems very difficult and makes having kids less appealing'

I like Romy's content but I wonder if she realizes how potently anti-natalist most of her descriptions of son are. She has expressed concern about the birthrate, but I bet most people reading her posts conclude "That sounds awful, I definitely don't want that."

@shiraeis This is extremely cool.

< 24hrs from unboxing my devkit to a working mvp. today I built a smart baby monitor that: - clones the mother's voice from a 45 sec recording - detects crying in 20s rolling windows - classifies intensity and selects interventions autonomously - plays soothing speech in mom's voice through the speaker - escalates to alerting the parent via text message thru openclaw if soothing fails after 5 min - transcribes the entire night with speaker diarization - delivers a spoken morning summary augmented parenting, not automated parenting. demo has crying, be warned. thanks @JesseRank and @openhome for having me at the demo last night and for giving me a devkit while there!

@1bit2far I’ve never been so aggressively hit on as I have in the Bay Area. I think you’re likely correct.

@climatepaige @Aella_Girl Oh, that wasn’t a diss. You make a lot of good points.

I’m not anti-polyamory! I think if you are child-free and you want to do it, by all means, go ahead! All I’m doing is sharing my observations about people I’ve met who are polyamorous! Again, a lot of polyamorous guys are willing to lie about who they are to get monogamous women. You’ve got to ask yourself why! Plenty of women are ENM!

"man goes along with stuff he doesn't really want to cause he doesn't wanna lose his woman" is how we get a lot of men forcing themselves into monogamy that they are absolutely not suited for

@braelyn_ai Not for games I don’t think.. game devtools are quite bad tbh. Much smaller and more niche market though.

the devtools market may truly be fully saturated

@climatepaige @Aella_Girl The anti-polyamory spree you’re on is legendary

@Aella_Girl That’s not fair at all to her. He’s not a victim.

@samyam_youtube It’s very cute!

you can play it here! store.steampowered.com/app/3768810/Bu…

my latest indie game release completely flopped with less than 100 copies sold. we spent around 7 months working on it and while there was a lot of stuff i could have done better i learned a lot from my mistakes and will keep on improving!

@generic_void You should make it happen.

@rtroar you know, yes, I think that is based

I honestly just want to be a SAHM and work on my weird side projects while raising kids at this point. I never signed up for this feminism independence crap that was force fed down my throat all my life that taught me to hate men when I was young and traumatized. My mom tells me financial dependence is too dangerous. She has always told me that. I’d like to believe good traditional men still exist, but I do understand my rebellious nature brings out the controlling side in most of the men I date. I don’t know what to do. I want to live my own life, but I know the risks of financial dependence she warns about are real, I’ve lived them. I barely escaped with my life. So the controlling reaction to my rebelliousness makes me run, every time. I wish I could just find someone who would let me be free as a flower in the wind and accepted me that way, even better if they could love me that way. Feels impossible to find these days. Being a SAHM doesn’t have to be lame. I’ll never be a suburban housewife, but I can enjoy a life that feels free where my femininity, artsy, nurturing, curious, playfulness can shine instead of having to be suppressed to protect myself from men, can’t I?

@ariadotwav You are correct that college gpa doesn’t matter (we don’t look at it usually), but the effort you’re putting in will be rewarded come interview time. The people using ai for everything get absolutely cooked in interviews where we take it away.

I got a 93 in my data structures class by putting in actual effort and it literally meant nothing because the average at the end of the sem was quite literally 90. It's just really demotivating and I understand why people just choose to use AI at this point. My GPA means nothing

I cannot stress enough how absolutely cooked CS, Soft Eng, Comp Eng and basically any tech/IT major is. Literally no one in my cohort bothers to write their own code anymore. People just hand in labs that are fully vibecoded and pass with grades above 90% and the profs do NOTHING

@generic_void it is done

@rtroar consider them mogged

Pardon?

@ProfMcBurney @ptr_to_joel That makes so much sense

@rtroar @ptr_to_joel Like, I hold the line. But it doesn't do me any favors.

many believe they are more special than they are and think they deserve things they don't

@generic_void @DamascusBlade That’s awesome

@rtroar @DamascusBlade I studied economics and statistics

Great makeup haul and that mascara piqued my interest, but are some of you too shy to admit you are a sugar baby instead of a partner? I swear it's fine to be a sugar baby.

@generic_void @DamascusBlade People actually make money day trading? I totally thought it was a bro thing

@DamascusBlade I’m single. I day trade.

@a_musingcat I’m banking really hard on cleaning up the ai disaster paying a lot.. as companies realize the risks they’ve introduced

@benljbrooks @IndieLauraSDG Me

Who all's out there making games the old fashioned way--just slinging code without big box engines?

@emily_veno @bstract_thot That makes sense, it causes you to retain water. It’s pretty critical you’re exercising vigorously if you’re taking a bunch of creatinine.

@bstract_thot It makes me SO puffy and bloated

6 weeks on creatine, this is the biggest single improvement i've seen since i fixed my 7g/dl anemia
