I'm looking for the title of a movie. Any help is appreciated.

It wasn't in English (Spanish?) and was a vignette film with six(?) storytellers' takes on a machine that generates any possible image, such as the pages of an unwritten play by Shakespeare, and the resulting apocalypse.

I'm 99% sure I saw it on netflix about two years ago.

Does this resonate with anyone?

I'm distractable and indecisive and hardly ever get a damn thing done. However, if I decide something's important, I single focus on it and persevere far past the point a normal person would have given up.

Once I decide something's important, I'm infinitely brave. Even if my rational mind knows it's not worth dying over, I will risk my life over stupid shit simply because I never checked my head and changed course when it was appropriate.

#introduction

I'm a hyperlexical AuDHD with cPTSD and EDS. Whew! A generation ago I just would have been Asperger's.

I'm an autodidactic polymath.

I'm some kind of online oracle, but don't know how or why. I'm probably one of those fucked-up CIA experiments from the 70s. They make movies about me.

I was raised atheist. The Matrix is religious power, albeit run by secular agency, and I was born outside it. I'm stuck in the desert of the real.

I'll put out the call again. Maybe someday...

I need one person who isn't lying to me. I've never had that. Everyone I've been close to, all my family, were lying to me about who they were and who I was all my life. Now, my only source of information is the internet, and I don't trust it. I missed the memo where everyone on the internet became honest and honorable; I still see it as an unregulated wasteland of bullshit and scam artists.

Idea:

Bookstores should group fantasy with horror instead of scifi. Both fantasy and horror are purely creations of the author's mind; scifi is tethered to factual information.

If you need to group scifi, I'd put it with mysteries and thrillers.

I had another million dollar idea. Start manufacturing reusable substitutes for plastic junk. I cook, and try to reuse the packaging my foodstuffs come in, but why not glass/ wood/ metal/ silicon permanent solutions? Most people see a difference between an old pickle jar--trash--and a glass jar with steel lid they bought at Sharper Image, so make some money selling them one.

I need a place to store 20lbs of rice and 4lb bags of beans.

Which would you rather have, a truckload of nickles or half a truckload of dimes?

In a statistically significant pile of American pocket change, the coins are in a ratio of 1:2:3:4. Why?

I had another million dollar idea if anyone wants to run with it.

As a kid, mmy family used to take 95 down the East coast (USA) and I always was happy when we got to South of the Border, a sprawling truck stop that was the last place to purchase fireworks for a thousand miles.

We should make North of the Border, a for-profit healthcare complex. We can have the abortion wing, where abortionists hang out shingles advertizing their wares.

How are you with animals?

I tend to throw off the wrong vibe for people, but get along with even the iffy animals. Dogs that don't like most people warm to me.

Just wondering how much of that is autism and how much me. My dad hates animals.

Question, especially for the young'uns out there. Does anyone else see something wrong with this commercial? Would it fly if aired today?

@actuallyautistic

Well, today I'm not allowed to buy potatoes or lemon juice. I have no freaking idea why the state are such assholes to me. They trick me into thinking there is some kind of way to get along with them and it's always Charlie Brown placekicking. Today they had me convinced they wanted me sober, but that's not enough, apparently, to be allowed a side dish or flavoring in my water.

They make movies about me and I don't know why. They make movies about me and I don't know why.

I was just navelgazing while doing my dishes and a thought arrived. Schrodinger must've really hated cats.

Fuck Schrodinger. Leave the cat alone. Cats are good people. Put a republican in the box.

These links work! I just searched a practical question and goddamn but if every one of the first five results were relevant, and not spammy.

It's another piece of rebuilding the old internet. Thank you freeschool! The world needs you now.

Update on my life.

1/2

If you're not up to speed, they've let me know at least some of whatever fucked up 70s CIA experiment I am. They control my emotions, and mostly play with my adrenal glands. I've been stuck in a panic/rage for decades and I now know why nothing I ever did affected it.

So they let me know and actually had me convinced there was something I could do, some behavior they wanted, that would get them to lay off it.

Anyone ever seen Once upon a Time in America? The 5 hour runtime always scared me away.

#housing @actuallyautistic

Nothing makes sense any more. It is $1050/mo for a campsite with an electric hookup and $550/mo for non-subsidized government housing in a converted hotel room with kitchen, tub/shower, and queen bed.

My only guess is that they are earning over $500/mo datamining me through the "free" wifi.

I tried to call a suicide prevention hotline, but all they were interested in was gaslighting me. Damn. Oh well. I knew I was on my own here anyway.

Was worth a shot.

Makes me glad I didn't slit my wrists. That leaves too much time to save me and jam me into a looney bin.

@actuallyautistic

I need something to do.

For the absolute first time in my life I'm not filled with surging emotions. Today is like a tabula rasa for me, and I'm hoping to build on it.

I've been stuck in autistic burnout since I was 8yo. The only hobby I ever had was picking through rolls of pennies to pull out the wheatbacks, for one summer as a preteen.

I really could use something to do that isn't computer based. I have books, but want something more active.

Suggestions?

“[Ford said] ".. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"

Are normal people hungry all the time?

I sunk out of panic mode for a couple days and goddamn if my stomach isn't a lot more aggressive than usual. I hardly ever notice it, normally.

Is this a thing? Constant hunger when you finally calm down?

Does anyone else use Perplexity, the AI search engine? Mine died this week. I'm trying to figure out if the app is dead or i'm just not allowed to use it any more.

More adventures in homelessness.

Looks like i'm being driven out of this funhouse hotel roim. I mean, it'd be nice to trade up for a home that doesn't have cameras, and isn't rigged to prevent me sleeping.

Last friday i walked around the block and someone shouted, "call a lawyer", but i was on a drunk and waited to sober up. I even bought a phone.

Fun story:

When i was in DC trying to get some civil rights, they put some poor FBI guy in the park across from my hotel. He was posing as a homeless person and had to sleep on a bench. I used to sit at the next bench and talk to him out the side of my mouth like a 20s gangster while smoking a joint.

I offered to switch places with him. I've slept on benches--it's brutal for old fucks like me and he. I had a bed inside i only used half of the time.
