Lookin' good!

No joke though, I currently have my sewing machine sitting in front of the secondary PC in our family room. I have found sewing to be up there with other non-tech hobbies like building things with wood, digging in the dirt, and taking care if my animals as far as brain health and sensory satisfaction.

I'm a middle aged cishet dad of a boy, too. I just bought the thing last year for some fun crafty projects we had in mind.

legal, deliberately stressing you to get your attention shouldn't be.

I'm thinking of a couple of entire industries that could be banned or destroyed to help people's brains.

Ooh, did you know about this?

I haven't seen it yet but it's on my list.

I wonder if anybody has told Micron about what happens when customers sign a contract but then declare bankruptcy shortly after.

I can't help but wonder if that actually used to be true, but it was because of more accumulated lead exposure over time rather than aging over time.

I'm an old white guy born into conservative religious america, and my entire adult life has been spent sliding to the left as I observe the left being correct and giving a shit about people while the right continues to be disingenuous and destructive and greedy.

I dunno, that might be some immensely relieving news to hear, that all this is not true reality.

Ooh, I think I'll start using CoPilot to do basic math and unit conversions in addition to doing them the correct way. Then I can note in my goals & reviews how I have been utilizing the AI resource and keeping tabs on its advancement.

Seriously. A human workforce could never dream of being capable of the same insatiable greed as the gigacorps trying to sell AI.

I wonder what the deaths per pedestrian mile stat is for America vs the rest of the world. I would expect it it be even more terrifying. Ouside cities I am used to pedestrians being an extremely rare sight unless in a parking lot.

I'm of the opinion that a lot of people if not most arguably don't really make a choice about who they are. They don't live with intentionality, they don't consider their agency, they just run on autopilot with the baseline personhood they were built with.

I think you are spot-on with this, and that it very much includes many "successful" people who others automatically assume they should try to emulate. It's especially bad here in the US.

Sure it's bizarre to see somebody believe that, but it's because it is so easy to believe with all the shit going on, not because it's something difficult to believe.

In my mind it is not the age of the technology, but its owner or lack thereof.
