Recently my stepsister replied to my half joking complaint about not getting within a second of the lap record at the kart track, that maybe this complaint explains some of the issues I’m having.
Upon rolling the thought around in my head a ton since then yeah that tracks, the question now becomes how to not aim high, and or not be disappointed by missing high aims. And why this is my Modus operandi to begin with, to aim high, not try all that hard and expect to succeed.
Yes I have never learned to type and left shift isn’t getting any use.
Subjectively should I learn how to type ? I do like 60 wpm currently without training and use probably 7/10 fingers.
KPMG, Deloitte and Mc Kinsey, for reasons that include at times being both financial auditor and bookkeeping at the same time, and consultancy meaning reducing headcount no matter the cost.
I don’t really know all that much about it honestly but all I’ve heard of them, is that they get the smartest people to do the worst thing that they can get away with.
The esoteric method of YouTube citations + RL recommendations + Google search “[topic I’m thinking about]+ Reddit”+ source of the anime I’ve watched. It’s fine so far but I’ve just gotten back into reading so I may still add yet more esoteric methods.
It does my brother in overkill at the time but somehow in retrospect completely worth it GPU.
Idk I’d guess for a lot of people it’s just pinning their dislike which might come from anywhere to a superficialy unfamiliar part of whatever media they are watching. The other reason is like, conservative patriarchal propaganda, trolling, bait whatever and just sorta falling into the crowd on any of these.
Also there is media written for women that likely doesn’t have this problem, or at least not as much. But then again the normative position to sell to is a male one.
Now being male I never really see an issue with my media representation(because there is none at least from numbers), but also I generally complain about media not for it’s cast of characters. If I complain it’s usually, either because I just feel uncomfortable/bored with it for whatever reason, or because it comes of as disingenuous or lazy, both of which will get me to drop it.
Art by committee/ marketing aim doesn’t feel right to me usually and casting female/progressive can sometimes happen for that reason. As in a part of the cast makeup is decided in order to bait a particular reaction to generate publicity, and conservatives being angry is still publicity.
In this case then the real issue of bad art is doubly masked by one one hand people complaining about woke cast, while on the other hand people consume slop they would’ve never known if not for baited conservatives complaining. While the production behind it laughs it’s way to the bank.
I’m just one guy tho who hasn’t really even seen all that much what do I know about art, content and the world.
It depends on the context in which the strawberry exists. Usually I won’t eat the crown but sometimes I do. Specifically if there is a knife handy I probably don’t eat it. If there is no knive it depends how hungry I am/ how much pressure there is to eat fast.
From Germany and know German and English. I can read Dutch and understand snippets but speaking it is beyond me.
Idk usually I just use either a scale or estimate. Cooking is pretty much all vibes based. The only thing I even measure is coffe in g and stuff for baking in 10s of g.
Weed Like 45 days ago, I still see myself going back to it but not for a while, and ideally not as a habit. Everything else sorta fades in and out pretty easily so far.
On android the trick is to do the same as you would on desktop. So Firefox + unlock origin.
Almost anything I claim to want to do.
Coffe is the only physical indulgence I can afford, because the other self indulgent behaviour is not to plan anything, to wake up and choose what I spend my time on.
The sad thing is that it is buyable but not in places below like 200k population. In Europe idk how far third wave type coffe got everywhere else but I’d imagine in international cities it’s largely available all over the world.
It’s frankly insane how different a specialty coffe place is from a Caffe. And how many specialty coffe places there are in big cities/ university towns.
The provinces seem to not be able to sustain good coffe unfortunately. Unless there is someone who doesn’t care about the balance sheet.
I have a 1 hour video from a digital artist/ programmer that will tell you essentially why it being lifeless matters.
Essentialy, everything before AI was either of mechanistic natural beauty, derived from biological chemical, physical processes, like the leaf of a plant the winding of rivers the shape of mountains etc. ,or it was made by human desicions, there was intentionality thought and perseverance behind every sentence you read, every object you held or owned, every depiction you would look at.
And this made the thing made by humanity inherently understandable as a result of human descion making, creativity, you might not agree with the causes and the outcomes of those decisions, but there was something there to retrace, and this retracing this understanding, made it beautifull, unique or interesting.
Same with the natural objects and phenomenon, you could retrace their existence to causes, causes that unfold a world in their own right, leading you to ask questions about their existence, their creation, their process.
In this retracing, these real links to people, to land and to nature lies the real beauty. The life so to say is them being part of this network for you to take a peek into, through their art, their creation, their mere existence.
Now we have a third category a thing or text or image that exists solely because an imitation machine, an AI is able to crate it, and it can fulfill some profit motive, there is no thought and no intentionality behind this writing this art and so on, it’s a result of statistical models which are built on what existed in the real world, and robs most if not all of these building blocks by just existing. It fills their place, it takes the energy they needed, the intelligence and decision-making they can create, and uses it to replace them, gradually over time.
And it doesn’t really give back, it doesn’t create value in the sense that we can retrace and understand what it makes, it’s a statistical result, there are no causes to peek into besides pretty boring math, and a collection of data it was trained on, a collection so big and varied that looking at it’s entirety might as well just be looking at everything, it tells us nothing, it doesn’t lead us to ask what there is behind it in the same way.
Both are primarily a means for profit, as most tasks accomplished with a car are more reasonably done a different way. The efficiency of road based motorised transport is so abysmal that it almost doesn’t make sense.
The only reason we rely on it currently to such an extend is because our entire economy is highly irrational, except if seen from a supremely privileged point of view.
Well there is humour in having a digital version of a thousand(s) year old (bar/drinking) game win most innovative gameplay at least.
Signal to noise is all edffd up
There are to many genres in gaming so if we reduce the scope to only card games (which is obviously the only relevant genre), It’s slay the spire obviously.
Depending on who you are an AI chat might just be a less tedious journal which can obviously be better than not journaling, I still find it sorta weird too but the ridicule is unfounded imo.
