So after being told I probably have Central Sensitization Syndrome I've been off and on diving into learning more...

Finally sat down and properly learned wtf "malaise" (in particular Post Exertional Malaise) is and now I'm sitting with the classic "Oh, that's a thing" feeling. Oh, and it can be triggered by just having too much feelings sometimes?!

Ugh... at least I've got something that fits going forward so I can start contextualizing this shit... but oof



God damn, the job scammers have gotten atrociously bad... I'm getting multiple a day.

Context: these are people who use fake job postings for identity theft and sometimes for laundering illegal purchases.

How to spot them:

  • No job should be contacting you from a free email address unless it's a very small and non-tech related business.
  • They apparently love to use Microsoft Teams currently
  • The email doesn't name a company
  • The email address doesn't match the company name in the signature
  • They try to push you to continue the conversation outside of email (they do this in cases where they're spoofing emails so can't receive replies)
  • The email address isn't actually to you, but instead to a free account (this is them taking advantage of people's tendency to use reply-all, so they can get a reply while making it look like the email is coming from someone else)
  • They're talking about multiple unrelated positions, often paying higher than the norm
  • They're holding interviews today and you need to respond immediately if you don't want to miss out!


Being suggested by Youtube a new SCP short released 6 days ago named "There is no antimemetics division" (things that make you forget) certain you watched a series by the same name a while back... finding the whole thing eerily familiar as you watch it.... it really gets you in the creepy mood of the content.

As far as why I got this experience. First I have time blindness (I can't remember very well how far back something happened) and memory issues (I can remember the plot and some key elements, but it's not very vivid).

Turns out both were doing the same scene from the same book, which is why it was so eerily familiar.

As far as the shorts themselves... the new one looks like it's got more of a budget and a more professional team... but the old one did so much better with the pacing imo and that makes a world of difference.

Old one from a year ago (there's 4 episodes, but the scene is literally half of episode one): youtu.be/w-IiVeGAydE?si=BFqD6u…

New one: youtu.be/3v8AsTHfAG0?si=ekOrir…

@raven667 Odd. Is it a promo for qntm's novel of the same title, or a third party attempt to cash in?

@Charlie Stross
Looking into it, the original form of the story was released creative commons share-alike, so these are fan adaptations under the same license. Side channel profits from advertising and donations.
