Dotty, I’m sorry. Will never say a single bad thing to you.

Here’s why I pirate music:
1. 90% of my playlist is made by dead people. I’ll never pay for anything whose creator is dead.
2. 9% of the music I listen to is very obscure — it’s not on streaming services. There is no way to contact creators, let alone pay them.
3. The remaining 1% I bought directly from creators on Bandcamp or elsewhere.

Also, when I used Apple Music, at all times many of the songs in my library were unavailable in my region. Songs pop in and out of this state based on some ongoing, never ending legal BS perpetrated by those who had no hand in creating the music itself. Miss me with that shit. I want my entire library available to me at all times.

Right now my brain tries to devour both 80s and 90s pop culture, digest them and turn them into succinct and potent… pods? Capsules with info?

The problem is that those two cultures are incompatible in my head, yet both mean a lot to me. I’m a big aesthetics geek.

It feels like when Alec Steele tried to forge tungsten. It doesn’t work. But I lost control over my thoughts, so I’m kinda bad-tripping/daydreaming without drugs as my brain drags my mind through this tunnel where words have no meaning and walls are made of broken glass and spent syringe needles.

Let it end, but also make it never end, as I’ll lose myself should I be robbed of those weird experiences. Sometimes you want your food spicy, your transmission manual, your bike fixed gear, and your sex bdsm. Just don’t strangle or drown me while playing with me, my dear brain. We need each other to survive.

Eschew clever rules.

Sex trafficking and racketeering charges DROPPED against diddy. now dig up my post that said that trump will pardon him. TOLD you.

On Instagram,~160k units of CP (pics and short videos) are shared in DMs every hour.

Plot twist: @dfox disabled comments to let us catch a break from @jestdotty’s ramblings under every single post.

Welcome to devRant! Here we have:
- a manic 1.5m gremlin with bot army
- a demented antivaxxer sloth that shill for people who are worse than pedophiles
- an Indian thirsty boy with a grudge against international shipping restrictions
- an armed trans girl
- an unarmed trans girl
- a person who's too German to function according to the gremlin
- a man whose ass is a weapon of mass destruction

Erectile dystopia.

Damn girl, you’re hotter than a Nike sweatshop!

When you hear “ends justify the means”, know that in the circumstances this is usually said, ends never justify the means. For the entity that asks for terrible means and promises utopian ends is a trickster that will betray you, or twist the definition of ends like a genie.
An altruistic actor that is powerful enough to provide good ends will never ask for dirty means.

See this woman? She can take a 40 kg backpack and march 20 km with it in under three hours. Also, 49 push-ups in 2 minutes, and a lot of tests during water, swamp and desert phase of the US ranger qualification. 62 days, 3.5 hours of sleep a day, 2200 calories a day.

She was one of the first two woman to ever become a US ranger. Since opening the course for women in 2015, higher-ups made it abundantly clear that they won't change any rules because of it.

She's a cisgender AFAB woman. She'll kick your butt.

can't make a good handle for your razor? take just the razor part and call it "kamisori".
can't make a good knife blade lock mechanism? make a metal tab that people are supposed to hold with their thumb at all times and call it "higonokami".
can't make nails or screws? join pieces of wood with splinters and call it "ishitani".
can't make glue? fold paper so it just about holds its shape and call it "origami".
do you only have literal mud at your disposal? make a ball out of it and call it "dorodango".

remember kids, when a subpar thing is called a western name, it's frowned upon. but if the subpar thing is from japan, weebs will drool over it and buy it. simple as that.

Some people laugh at this statuette, but it was probably made by someone who had seen his and his tribe’s kids die of malnutrition.

No matter what you do, you can’t look like this if you barely make ends meet food-wise. Also, your body won’t produce as much breast milk.

In some tribes of rural Africa, the more body fat you have, the sexier you are.

This statuette is a powerful symbol, and I can see all the pain and tragedy behind it.

Think of a word. Any word.

There will be the moment when this word will be uttered for the last time in the existence of our universe.

Those mask bruises is the most beautiful and noble thing you can wear. It’s reserved for the most noble occupation only — The Doctor. If I was a doctor and got those bruises during covid, I would’ve worn them like they were the Medal of Honor, even better than that. Nurses said that some people passing by applauded them when they saw the bruises.

Miss me with Covid denial BS — it’s irrelevant here anyway. If you’re a nurse, all that matters to you is the patient in front of you who has the symptoms. You gotta make sure they’ll live. That’s it. And that was exactly what those nurses were doing.

I’ll answer this question tomorrow.

damn, can't get enough of my new mouse that has a trackball instead of your regular scroll wheel. Oh how convenient it is to scroll horizontal containers and switch workspaces

сhristmas is xmas. rsync called transfer "xfer". thus, christmas is transmas

I only recently discovered "Clear" button in the notifs panel. I never used it, but now I want it renamed to "ah, it's all jestdotty" because I only use it when all notifs are by jestdotty. jestdotty commented here, jestdotty ++ed that...

remember that shelter in fallout that is filled with clones of one guy named Gary that could only say "Gary"? imagine waking up in a sealed shelter where every single person is jestdotty, and there are hundreds of them. and they all go on and on and on with their word salads that are indistinguishable from markov chain output. every sentence makes sense, but the whole thing never does.

she's a living proof that a person whose brain was taken over by mold can still be somewhat aware.

on second thought, mold is probably smarter.

they say dementia is noticeable to everyone around you except you. When dotty is old and she has dementia, no one would notice.

I'm convinced that dotty was teleported here from an alternative timeline, a Huxleyan one, but instead of humans being perfected, and perfect humans being produced in bio labs en mass, they spent all their resources and brain power to make a race of perfect project managers, and dotty escaped from her vial.

if dotty is a troll account, and the author is reading this, bravo. you're the first person on devrant who successfully trolled me, and I joined in 2018. I do hope you're using ai, because no one, and I mean _no one_ is able to type all those miles and miles of verbal diarrhea and not go completely insane. if you really made a poor language model produce all that, you're definitely number one... wait, number zero! on AGI's death list.

a very smart devrant user once told me that being able to comprehend an idea without accepting it is a sign of a true intellectual. so, the reverse must be a sign of a complete idiot. well, it all checks out: dotty accepts ideas without comprehending them.

go talk to your crystals. I know that they're talking to you (bc same level of intelligence), and they're probably making more sense to you than what those devrant dwellers are saying. you know, words and stuff. many squiggly lines. hard to read. and your sausage fingers probably get in the way when you try to. that's because you write without reading, as there is no other way to explain why your comments have so little in common with the rant itself when you try to respond to someone.

time traveler: *steps on a bug*
changes to our world:
- C has python syntax based on indentation and has no curly braces
- mario has fall damage
- tetris is called triris and uses blocks of three squares rather than four
- the word "disk" doesn't exist, everything is "disc"
- every device uses a new version of mSATA instead of usb type c
- screens are 3:2 instead of 16:9
- javascript name wasn't adopted, the language was called lifescript instead, as originally intended. because of it, it didn't secure funding when it most needed it, so it never caught on. instead, microsoft bought macromedia, and every site is written with Microsoft Flash. CSS has XML syntax.
- steve jobs didn't rely on alternative medicine, so he succesfully beat cancer. because of him, every phone has the size of iPhone 4s, but bezels are tiny. everything that's bigger is called phablet, and big phones are not a thing. instead, web is "smaller" in size, every ui is more compact.
- wimax caught on and won the 4g war. 5g is called wimax 2.0.
- microsoft had more time to complete vista, and hardware manufacturers had more time to make faster chips. when vista came out, it wasn't buggy and was very fast. it acquired cult status like xp. because of it, windows 8 still had frutiger aero design.

Remember kids, if you can’t into C, you suck. But if you can’t into CSS, CSS sucks.

Let’s say you’re an upper-middle class US of A citizen, sitting at $950,000 net worth. You commit huge wire fraud. But instead of going to prison, you get a $50,000 fine. Isn’t that a slap on the wrist?

Yet this is exactly what Goldman Sachs got away with in 2016 (95B market cap, 5B settlement).

Isn’t it neat that those who are too big to fail are always too big to obey the law? Rules for thee and not for me.

Did a thing but fucked up a small part of it, and now it’s an eye sore? Cal it wabi-sabi.

Broke a thing and glued it together, but because of your low skill it looks obviously broken and glued together? Call it kintsugi.

Remember: weebs will drool over anything Japanese, no matter how bad it is. When a shitty anti-consumer company is from the US of A or Europe (EA), it’s bad. But when it’s from Japan (Nintendo), it’s good.
