Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby is remembering to put the offseason into perspective.

Autism spectrum, feelings and (against all odds) a Witcher quote
"""
[…] Because you're a witcher and you can't feel any emotion. You don't want to fulfill my request, because you think that you care about her, you think that… Geralt, you are with her only because she wants that, and you'll be with her for as long as she wants to. What you're feeling is a projection of her emotion, her interest in you. To all demons of the Pit, Geralt, you're not a child, you know who you are. You're a mutant. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying this to offend or disdain you. I'm just stating a fact. You're a mutant, and one of the basic features of your mutation is your full immunity to emotion. You've been made like this so that you could do your job. Do you understand? You can't feel anything. What you're taking as emotion is actually cell memory, somatic memory, if you know what that means.
"""
(Andrzej Sapkowski, Miecz przeznaczenia, Okruch lodu, Istredd's words, my own translation)
However the context is different, it made me think of my own problems with emotions.
Am I capable of love? Or perhaps I can merely project somebody else's feelings, return them at the best. Or perhaps just intellectually be aware of what I am supposed to feel.
Was perhaps that, what I used to take for "love", actually gratitude that somebody was nice to me, or that she showed interest?
Or perhaps was it that she fitted into an unrealistic model that I've engraved into my personality as a child?
Or just an attachment, a feeling of safety, stemming from a large data set. A conviction that unpleasant surprise is no longer that likely.
Or just desperation, a need that's been forced into me since I was a child and that now I'm trying to attain based on what the media, books and personal stories tell me about it.
Or even something resembling a Stockholm syndrome. "At least she's paying attention to me. I know the worst she could do to me."

Some friend told me that learning to program was a waste of time since AI would write all perfect code for us and make most developers obsolete within 3 years...
It is now exactly 3 years ago, how are my developer homies holding up? Feeling obsolete yet? :yay:

This day six years ago was the last time I boarded an aircraft, on my way back home from Berlin Buzzwords. Today, I am instead flying through the German countryside on the night train to Stockholm.
Last year was the first time I had to sacrifice something to avoid air travel, when I couldn't make it to my friends 50th birthday party and also arrive in time for the conference. Other than that, I enjoy travel more than I did when I travelled by plane. I am looking forward to new carr…

Raiders players speak to media following minicamp practice
Several Raiders players, including Maxx Crosby, are expected to answer questions from the media after their morning practice on day one of minicamp on Tuesday.

Just a reminder that the extreme right is using toxic masculinity as a way to recruit young men.
While we can easily blame men for being toxic, I don't think it will fix much. We need to create a narrative that speaks to men that feel lost. One that's different than all the toxic shit that's so effective on these guys right now.
There's legions of young men feeling left behind by society, and we need to make sure they don't feel that way before things get ugl…

Old oil wells in Texas are destroying farmland.
Of course the owners of these wells are long gone, taking their profits with them. The mess they've left behind isn't their problem.

Macron, meilleur président de gauche ?
En un seul discours dimanche soir, il a :
- mis fin Š la réforme de l'assurance chômage
- flingué la fusion de l'audiovisuel public
- achevé la droite
