Anxiety anecdote:
This one took about two months to make. Lots of that time was faffing around with a Word document, not even sure what the point of the script was, but anyhow – today, very excited to be finally uploading and rid of the thing, there I was doing a bit of last minute polishing in the video editor and suddenly I notice I’ve deleted half the video in the timeline. Just gone. I reload the old save file but it’s too late, I’ve written over it already. About a month of work gone in three seconds of mis-clicking. I’m not sure how far back in the day I made the mistake and did I mention that the file is so large now that the undo function locks the video editor up almost every time? There’s only one option left: tentatively keep hitting undo and just pray this doesn’t lock the editor up otherwise ALL GONE, and just pray the buffer remembers far back enough to restore the sequence I deleted otherwise ALL GONE. There I sat for thirty minutes hitting ctrl-z as gently as I could, sweat dripping from my furrowed brow, even the mice who live in the walls of my apartment coming out to watch and bite their fingernails or claws or whatever it is mice have, their cheese untouched, their traps empty…. Anyway everything was fine even if I almost soiled myself – the undo function worked and I briefly felt good about living again for the first time in ten years. I am an idiot. Please don’t be an idiot like me – back stuff up, I beg ye.

02/22/2025 - 10:12 AMIt’s all a fleeting what was, what will be and what is. There is only one thing that always will remain consistent. Never ever fire ever altering in pot what ever, when ever, how ever, where ever it deems to. The all is never less or more than the all. That all that is, that was, that always will be. The nothings, the everything all in between, and not no where and every where, the only thing that remains the same every tick death of time illusion is. Was and will be nothing more nothing less. Hail to almighty Change💥🐦🔥🤙🏽✨

02/22/2025 - 10:12 AMFunny enough, for some reason I actually find pumpkin potion cat snake to be just about the least memorable thing ever. I think that part's funny, so multiple times I've come back to the video to rewatch it, and yet even tho I'm thinking of the part and actually seeking it out, I can never remember "pumpkin potion cat snake" until I get there and see it again.
Mb writing this will finally make it stick…

@avedic
02/22/2025 - 10:12 AMIt's rather trippy to ponder that question actually….
Subjectively, for me, the present moment kinda sorta feels like it's about 1 to 2 seconds long….and sorta "smeared" a bit. It's both impossible to grab ahold of….to look directly at….and yet it's also the only thing that IS.
@iivin4233
02/22/2025 - 10:12 AMWell "now" moves at lightspeed, right? So a full experience input + reaction cycle for a human is X finite period of time. You could call that whole cycle now, or divide based on "photon-events".
Or, you could divide moments forever. There are an infinity of numbers, an infinity of divisions, but that isn't very useful.

02/22/2025 - 10:12 AMI feel like you should write for Doctor Who, i feel like you have a great knowledge of what the universe is and that is exemplitive of what the Doctor is supposed to be, a person who understands the rotation of the universe. I relate heavily to you and the fictional being that is the doctor but we are that type of mind that considers every step we take alters every aspect of the universe in the end

02/22/2025 - 10:12 AMI feel like the concept of now is like my mom telling me to come down stairs now and me taking more than a second and her calling again so basically anything over 1 second is the future
