I know I’m fishing, but I need the answer. Am I a capable adult? Do my aspirations fit my abilities? Am I intelligent/clever enough to be worth talking to? My pride/ego has been shredded the past few months.

I worked until 9 last night and cried for like two hours after. I cried about two hours today. I feel like I’m too stupid to ever be anything more than my brain injury. That’s all I am — someone who wanted to do cool things, learn cool things, but I never will. I’m not smart.

If it ever comes up.. It’s not a lot but I have about 1.5 million gold in game. You can have it if you make sure my toons are logged out in Zangarmarsh and Tanaris, in order of which toon is “first” on screen. Preferably “old” Tanaris turned on so it has the old music.

Minty is a gem for this alone. Her and Amani know what's up
I will always defend my healers in world of Warcraft, that’s law

Help. I am collapsing emotionally. If you can spare the emotional energy, I need help navigating a psych clinic who went MAHA without titrating down correctly. I need help studying and burning new, complex info to my brain. I need to be reminded I am a capable person, LC or not.

Hey @Blizzard_Ent, you want a great writer who knows how to do team writing and editing, has degrees in it, can work with devs with said writing, and has read your entire backlog? You should hire me. I’m great. I’ll come to Cali even.

I have struggled with aphasia - and still do - and I will actually die before willingly losing my “voice” again. It was taken from me once, and I clawed it back. It was an ugly process of which I’m extremely proud. Willingly giving it away? Not a chance.
as soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so. I know what I want to say, and I could say so much more if I didn't need to manual labor the words out one by one

When did modern printers start telling me where in the device the paper jam was and how to access it? @Brother_Intl - aside from not telling me my drum was actually USED UP (it was) - you're the only printer that's not a hell pit of a UX. Thanks for that.

I'm a technical writer, and I'm told regularly that I'm easily replaced with AI. People even say my language rehab post-stroke - for which I did not have a doctor available - was not a big deal and "anyone could do that". I don't feel valued in our world at all. :(
Many founders wish they had true peers & thought partners in comms & people leadership roles. If you’re gifted with words & people, these roles are opportunities to have meaningful impact at top companies and they’re less competitive than being a top founder/investor/creator.

And it's just plain boring. I discovered things I loved and NOW prefer before knowing they existed. Things that still connected me to my pre-existing perspectives but ones in which I'd never spoken to anyone about. It gave me the bravery to seek out others.
I can’t stress enough that this would mean the complete extinction of human culture. You need art because it connects you to all who’ve gone before you; it challenges you to embrace perspectives not your own. Media generated to your exact preferences is the death of the soul.

What in the hell are these plants, and why do they make me SO SAD when I smell them anywhere?

I miss Classic y’all, but I’m not the teenager I was when I played it. I don’t have teenager responsibilities, teenager ability to run on caffeine alone, teenage hype. If I played true classic now - even without knowing retail or anything else - it would still not be the same.

I didn’t actually realize I was replying to Notch when I was complaining about JavaScript. I just hate JavaScript so much. I need to pay attention to the OOP and the reply accounts better than I do. My memory and fog have been much, much worse lately.
