I posted a discussion thread in the wow forever reddit, and hoooooly shit the people coming out of the woodwork to tell me how soft and fragile I am is fuckin wild. Apparently I said something extremely controversial when I said "maybe Blizzard could moderate their game a little more like FFXIV" lol

A lot of people had some good shit to say too, and if the upvotes are to be believed, people are largely in agreement, but ever since I posted in the early afternoon my inbox has been filled with all sorts of slander. If I were as thin-skinned as they claim, I'd be having a bad time

You know, World of Warcraft could be a good game if Blizzard would just bother moderating their fucking game a bit more. FFXIV and Square can do it. Why can't you? These ghouls feel so entitled to their hatefulness that the entire crowd just feels so numb to it. "Oh just ignore the vile racists"

Internet things: A person on reddit today accused me of being pro rape because I dared to dispute that maybe they shouldn't be saying all truckers deserve what they're getting with high prices right now. I should know better than to engage sometimes, but goddamn people are ridiculous.

I'm so tired. It's 3 AM, and I can't fall asleep. The last several months have been excruciating. I have posted about this before, but I lost my job in April. I used to work at a pretty cool small tech company that put out an EHR software for the Mac. I liked it. Before the acquisition.

I just wish I felt the kinds of passion I see from other people. So many cool projects that deserve so much more, and all I want to do is *that*, but I can't seem to get my brain to do it. I can do it for a few weeks and then I just can't seem to anymore. And I don't know why.

I'm running to a hobby and going "how can I make money off of this", which is maybe why I can't seem to make any progress anymore. I'm so paralyzed by my own bullshit that I just can't break out anymore. I feel so fucking hopeless and I don't know what to do. At least my home life is mostly secure.

I'm afraid that this anger that I have, this deep seated anger, is going to come rumbling out, and I'm going to say all these things. About how fucking sick I am of it all. How sick I am of the corruption on even the most pointless shit. The evils that are being committed in our name. AI. All of it.

I can't tell my IRL friends about that problem, because some of them *are* the problem there. And I'm probably a coward for not addressing any of that. In fact, I basically spend all my time at home, alone, cringing at the thought of interacting with others, because the last 5 years have been remote

And the news....fuck, the news. There's not even a profit motive for half of the horrors we're committing, because it's not about money there, it's about power, the one thing more intoxicating. Another thing about me: I used to be involved in the fandom convention circuit. Even ran an event.

These motherfuckers have no respect for anything or anyone. There's no values beyond profit. If it doesn't make a profit, it's useless. And that's it, isn't it? That's the whole goddamn problem right there. We are so fucked in the head that money at all costs is the imperative.

And god, the number of people I knew, smart, good people, who suddenly couldn't do a single fucking thing without running it by ChatGPT was truly distressing. Every letter and response became AI-generated slop which I hated to read. I already hated corpo speak, and AI-written slop is worse.

I've lost count of how many job apps I've put in. I can count with one half-hand the number of interviews I scored. *Rejection letters*, which still sting, are now exciting because *I actually received a rejection instead of zero communication*. And then there's the AI angle.

Was I perfect at my job? Nah. In fact, the last few years I've been pretty checked out. This year I knew it was coming through several small little signs. Transitioned responsibilities. Multiple meetings of showing people the different systems "so they could back me up."
