I think I need to make sure I also stress

quantity as well as quality- if I don't post every day, I'm gonna forget about this entirely- and THAT would suck!

They want you to die for them.

To be honest, it’s what you’ve trained to do. It’s not like they kidnapped you and are holding a gun to your temple and asking, “May we please pull the trigger?” No, you actually volunteered and were chosen from a vast pool of many volunteers.

And now today is the day. The day you will die. You don't have to, of course. No one will threaten you if you change your mind; there will be a vast disappointment of course, and the negative peer pressure would be diamond hard and applied with the force of much megatonnage... but there is no thought of escape in your mind. Oh no.

No, the interface will open and then, inside a field a thousand times thinner than a human hair, the magic. Instantaneous, one-way teleportation to the surface of Mars. It’s hideously expensive; every second open uses more energy than most European countries burn through in a year. All you have to do is walk through the interface, smile for the equipment present, and die.

The surface of Mars is terribly unfit for any kind of life; a naked human being- YOU- with no survival equipment, not even a thin paper gown to cover yourself with, won’t last long at all.

Computer simulations can only tell you so much, after all. Sometimes the best experiments are the most basic. Your corpse will provide data for decades, if not centuries.

All you have to do is walk forward, through the interface, when the time comes. It will hurt, death; no one would be officially disappointed if you didn’t walk through the interface when it opened.

They want you to die for them.

For the first time in several days

I finally have nearly enough :) THC within me. I feel a LOT better, physically and mentally. It's a good thing, pain control. I really enjoy not hurting.

I hate that in our greed, we refuse to do anything about global climate change.

It used to snow, deep snow, every winter in Washington State. Now, IF we get snow, it ain't much. The summers used to be nice- warm, not too hot. Now we break a NEW record EVERY YEAR for NEW hottest year EVER...  I don't do heat well, and already, just in the beginning of July, I am having heat problems.

Sigh :(

National 'Murican 'Blow Your Fingers Off' Day!

Yay! So let's hope not TOO many people blow their fingers off- it really is sad when that happens. Be safe, be good, and if you can't be good- be careful :)

Take care!

I actually find my subscriber count kind of SCARY :)

I went into my channel with only the thought of staying busy- keeping alive, getting out of my head and involved with the world again. I figured I'd get maybe 5, 10 subscribers and I was cool with it.

And my channel actually grew! I kept adding subs until I crossed a thousand subscribers! It was amazing- and still is!

And NOW I'm getting close to ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND subscribers! Hokey Smokes! That is a SCARY number for someone with moderate social anxieties :)  I am INTENSELY grateful to each and every person that has subscribed to my channel and I always will be... but Hokey smokes, that's a BIG number... :)

I don't know if anyone does it any more,

or if it is still called datamoshing, but my GOSH this is absolutely amazing stuff! Taking advantage of our technology, it's limitations and so how we have 'cheats'; taking advantage of those cheats to create an art form that would be literally impossible to even CONCEIVE without the use of computers and other tech.

It's absolutely boggling! I've been googling and watching LOTS of these and they are BIZARRE, NEW, and absolutely EXCITING!
