Sure.... but I'd like for them to make some sort of amends for stealing all the content on the internet to make it?

And I'd like content made by AI to have that declared so consumers can support human artists and avoid grifters.

Australian here. Financially things are okay for me and most the people I know, but the general stress is getting to us all. I always feel so worn down. A weekend is enough time to not want to die but not enough time to get actually rested.

I had to get a mouthguard because I'm grinding my teeth at night and the dentist said they've seen a spike in the number of people with the same problem. The stress is real and measurable.

Do they not know the joke is that you will definitely regret it?

God I hate corporations.

Haha, absolutely! That is why I said "sparked". The Reformatory forces had been brewing for ages! It's a super interesting period of history!!!

You have encountered Gnostic thought (and related heresies!) The Gnostics believed that the God of the Christian Old Testament was actually Satan all along. It is an interesting rabbit hole to fall down into.

The 95 Thesen by Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation. That's an impact that cannot be understated.

They... are?

Well, I once had chemical induced insomnia from a Pepsi I drank too late and even God himself couldn't have fixed that one, it was annoying as heck. But what I did is I lay in bed and I thought about stuff all night. Currently I'm worldbuilding a space fic so it was mostly about space. And I started imagining what the scenes would look like, what dialogue I would write. I usually do that anyway to fall asleep but the damn chemicals did keep me up. I do not recommend the chemicals.

So I guess, for real you actually do have to quit caffeine and alcohol. Also don't give up and look at the internet. That shit is wakeful asf. I actually use it to banish grogginess in the morning, it is better than coffee. Also! Don't ever look at the time. If you perceive the time going by it just stresses you out which slows down sleep. Time is an illusion. Even 1 hour of sleep will improve on how you currently feel.

I guess you can try breathing and counting and stuff, I always find that I get bored doing that. That's why I like to imagine things. But it has to specifically be unrelated to anything stressful. Godspeed my brothers.

I believe humans were opportunist hunters who used a variety of strategies. With brains as clever as ours why stop at one method? Isn't farming just an advanced hunting method, if you think about it? You have to apply the technique that works the best to each hunt.

Dogs are cool but people are the best people because they can talk and invent jokes.

Hate to break it to ya bruv, but if that was the reaction, maybe the difference was in the comparative quality of the output ;)
