Here we go again!
Thinking about how I was born at just the right time to see the rise and fall of what could possibly be the only period in human history when just about anyone could create indisputable proof of things
By ~2015, nearly everyone had a device on them at all times that could record video
By ~2035 I think there's a real chance that AI will be both powerful and accessible enough such that people could deepfake convincing videos of others doing whatever
I feel kinda blessed, in a way. Life's weird
Wait! Don't leave \sout{Twitter} $\mathbb{X}$ before they validate my \LaTeX fetish!!!

​ Anyway this entire thread is inconclusive and kind of pointless, but unfortunately I promised myself that if I typed something I wouldn't just erase it like I always do, haha
Also, just in general, cons are very stimulating for me (at least, bigger ones with lots of activity in the common spaces), and I think I get bored too easily at home. It makes me feel kind of like a zombie, like my brain just kind of shuts off and it's hard to get myself to do anything. I always feel like that in my apartment (to an extent that's kind of embarrassing to explain) but going out helps. I'm not sure what it is! I've suspected for a while that I have ADHD but I don't know
Another difference is that, at cons, I'm actually socializing, and quite a lot! It always takes me a while to mentally adjust and get over my social anxiety, but talking to others and getting positive feedback makes me feel really good and boosts my confidence just a little. By contrast, at home, I can go several days at in row without seeing friends (or anyone at all for that matter), and it feels a bit isolating at times
One big difference about cons vs. the average day is that I'm burning WAY more calories. I have to eat ~600 extra calories per day to keep up. At bigger cons, I'm suiting for basically the entire day, and I'm pretty animated in suit, but even then, the difference is surprising. At home, I still exercise every day, but I wonder if it's overshadowed by sitting for 8-12 hours. By comparison, I basically don't sit down at cons, haha, at least not for very long. (I don't wanna mat my butt fur!)
This isn't specific to this recent Anthrocon, by the way; I sometimes get this from other cons too. I'll feel incredible after the con, and then the effect wears off after a few days. But I often wonder if I could modify my life in some way so I can feel like that more often
