Be whomever you want to be

NPCs don't mind

Maybe now they can shift to more ethical business models?

You can't honestly expect that?

Take a 1000 marbles, different sizes. Colour them randomly, red or blue. Throw them in a bag.

Take 100 marbles. Colour the largest halve red, the other halve blue. Add them to the bag.

Statistically, with sufficient sampling, an outsider will be able to measure the difference in average size, red group of marbles vs blue group of marbles.

But if you're a marble meeting another marble, knowing their assigned colour gives you very little information on if they're bigger or smaller than you.

Put a ring on her cause she's loaded

Plot twist: it was a closet gay with self-hatred!

Most people don't realise, yet so obvious

I was playing with a magical lamp in the old volkswagen getting rusty in my grandma's yard. When, surprisingly, the whole car turned into sand and I drowned.

Had this dream when I was 6 or 7 years old. For some reason, I think about it every so often.

Oh the colors

I'll keep my eyes open for those next spring

People used to make all kinds of stuff from the bark, too

Love those too!

Bending in the wind like a ballerina

Scapegoat tree ftw

Delightful!

I'm self employed.

Found out I'm depressed, decided to reduce work to 3 days a week.

Raised prices to reduce clients. Turns out I now make more, doing less work. It is what it is.

I've made my own tv stand using these 3d printed corner pieces: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4877887/comments

Stochastic parrot is a term describing your experience with AI.

I've an aunt like that, ready to engage in every conversation despite not understanding the topic. Regugitating whatever she saw on her tv, in her own words.

So in a sense, the current large language models do mimic some human's behaviour.

For sending over small stuff, I usually generate a qr code and scan it with the other device.

Shrooms are definitely dangerous, especially for people who are prone to schizophrenia I've read.

Personally, they made me realize my mind is capable of being content. No longer full blast, spinning plates all of the time.

That experience made me realise change is possible, and I got professional help a year later. Turns out I've been living in C-PTSD since I was 5.

This might be a weird one, but it is helping me a lot.

My deepest spirals into depression and alcohol abuse happen in the evening and at night.

I switched to waking up early (5am), focused on experiencing and enjoying sunrise as a kind of meditation, then going about my day. I'm off to bed by 8pm.

There's still days where I can't catch sleep for hours, mind racing. But hours past 8pm is still only 2am.

Had the same issue with outlook last weeks. 60% CPU usage, doing nothing.

I've met people who don't know what a URL is.

The kind of people that google "facebook" when they want to visit facebook.

Completely flabbergasted that we run internal services not indexable by google.

Listening to music: And I mean REALLY listening to music

Amen. I've been listening to the same album since february. Trying to decypher every baseline, every cymbal.

Brings my mind to a happier place.

For self hosting?

I didn't do no nothing wrong now, didn't I?

Everything I’d been thinking about was our future together, now none of that means anything.

In the same boat 2 years in. It hurts. Hope it gets better some day.

I don't know what that is. Please, tell me all about it

I like Xubuntu. But I've no experience on how well it does with touch screens.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll look into that

Please share

You need to own stuff that others value

If you already have enough money to burn, you can put money into various high risk areas and win overall.

That's the angel investor strategy.

There's also lower risk index funds, that simply invest in the biggest N companies.

You're confusing cause and effect, I fear

GIMP is such a workhorse and a pleasure to work with.

?

Is that a problem?

It's not an elementary question.

Best I can guess is: plenty of people, plenty of reasons. Which is a stupid answer.

5-HTP serves me well. It's got a similar serotonin impact without the tripiness of shrooms.
