There’s jokes in old movies about cops looking up license plates and looking through databases of people they shouldn’t be all the time. I’m sure it’s been going on the whole time they just have better toys now. unsettling.

I love making weird sounds, here’s some of my music: https://etherphon.bandcamp.com/
https://soundcloud.com/etherphon
The stuff up there right now is a tad old, but it is some music that deals with my struggles with my realizations about my sexuality and gender, thus some of it is a little difficult and discordant. I’m working on some more joyous music. It’s 100% hardware based (synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, effects), no computer, DAW or AI involved in recording.
I love synthesizers, all sorts of music (mostly electronic), b/cult movies, science fiction, DIY, graphics design, PC hardware, retro computing (Commodore <3), cooking, singing. I’m truly sorry to anyone I have unintentionally hurt in my confusion about my identity. Love and light. Sorry I can’t talk like a normal human being btw.

I have no idea how you gleaned that from what I said. I was talking about my personal experiences and not talking about anything else.


What do you know the American badass tough guy freedom tea party patriot is just a big old toddler who wants a daddy.


Sure, dismissal and outright denial can put you in dark places, alcoholism for a lot of years, other drugs, just doing nothing. In the dark metaphorically speaking.

I do remember hearing that as well actually, and at a point in the late 90s early 2k it might be true. It sure seemed that way anyways.


I remember when it was like 50%. /s kinda


Humm I’m not sure, I thought it was a bit about condoms or something, haha.


I swear there is a George Carlin bit about this but I can’t find it in my super quick search, I heard it on a record when I was like 11 or 12 so it’s possibly my memory is foggy lol.


I guess I would explain it as an agreed upon way of talking to each other, say you decide you want to text, or call, or send a card. A protocol is like that. It’s not the data just the transmission method. A protocol controls the data stream, the hand shaking (when it is OK to start sending data, which port, where to send it). A data packet sent using a protocol is like a letter, with a sender, intended receiver, stamp (signature, key, CRC, etc.).


Sorry, it was a bad day and it appears I took it the wrong way :( I thought you were talking about me personally and not the name as the name was for Don. I’m a bit sensitive atm, apologies too.


I have no idea why everyone takes me so dreadfully seriously but it’s god damn annoying. I guess I should address that I am not actually that much of a pervert unfortunately, years of Catholic guilt had me denying who I even was for decades.


I’m sorry, rabbit fire thoughts sound absolutely dreadful.


Lol, you know what I mean.


You’re a gem, Don, don’t change a thing.


Lots of hope honestly I suppose, still, somehow. Working on music, spacing out to music, reading, cycling, basking in the sun or staring at the clouds, watching what the animals are doing, a bit jealous of their simple life, cooking up a good meal, psychedelics (though not so much lately), weed, gratitude everyday.
Oh sorry, no, I don’t think it’s necessary to do anything in particular, just being a decent person is enough. I always felt like I needed to do something or something was undone when I was confused about my identity, so I thought maybe it could be the same for others.
