Did she find Nemo, Ben?
Also, why didn't you give a shoutout to Linux?

@Guillotine_Jones Did you just call me Ben?

Which is somewhat ironic, if so, because I came *this* close to dedicating the above post to @TheBreadmonkey, but hesitated. I'm wasn't 100% sure Ben would want to be called the Disney princess of the Fediverse, and moreover I didn't want to be accused of misBendering someone.

This is no good for my competing neuroses that I am simultaneously not real that none of you are real that I am everyone and that I am trapped in a simulation just talking to myself. The edges are blurring. I knew it.

I hate to break it to you, my friend, but there is no self.

Still, it's no reason to go into either nihilism or... the other extreme, theism. (i'm kind of down with the existentialists, though.)

The Middle Way is a wide, weird path.

Also I am flattered. But as it's me doing the flattering, it's less meaningful. But I'll take it. Thanks, me. You're welcome, me.
