    It finally happened. I ran across an article that, according to the byline, I wrote. It's, uh, actually not too bad, if I do say so myself. It's about our epistemological crisis, using the Fukushima accident as the example. I don't remember writing it. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/03/if-we-built-a-safer-nuclear-reactor-how-would-we-know/72988/ …pic.twitter.com/RECbF9Pg8A

        I mean, totally normal, right? Right? (It is slowly coming back. It was about ten years ago!) Happens to all writers, I presume? Right? Right?

        Happens all the time. Just think of it as conserving onboard memory capacity. As long as you have a backup...

        I especially hate it when I realize that I've been scooped by another writer, and then realize that said writer was me from several years ago. Goddamn punk kid.

        I’m glad someone does! I was reading it and thinking hey that’s not bad. Hahhahaa *cries*. Also at the time I had a desperate need for more page-rank. It involved a belly dancer, not me. For real. It’s a story yet untold.

        This has been happening to me with increasing frequency. It's disconcerting, especially when it's something fairly involved.

        Was trying to hack something IT related, after being stuck for a week, went into into a deep dive, forums, subredits, stack overflow. Finally somebody answers my pleas for help in a forum, saying they had read an informative howto buried in a different forum. September 2014,mine

        Can confirm. Past Me is ridic useful to Present Me, after I get past the « goddamn you, memory » part.
