Just be sensible and responsible with your credit usage and it just goes up naturally. Check it regularly and dispute every single negative claim, regardless if it’s true or not. I think there’s a hack around when you do your disputes. It’s a long game.
“Just because I harbor the joy of killing your family inside me, doesn’t mean we can’t be friends.” — Sid 6.7
Yeah, that’s the definition of mainstream. I remember that SXSW when everyone was trying to get their friends to try this indie social media app called Twitter. I wonder what happened to that little app?
The most disgusting thing in that situation is your belt buckle. It could be the fly on your pants, but I assume those get washed every once in awhile.
Blister packaging for fucking everything.
I am paying for Cursor, which can use various models to help with software development. I use the AI to help me create design documents for software ideas I have and use those design documents to guide it in the development of that code. I’ve tried free models on my own hardware and they don’t come close, mostly because I don’t have a spare $5k for the right GPUs.
The 4 most important things for stripping Google out of your life are:
- Your phone (Location and Internet usage)
- Your browser (Internet history)
- Gmail (intimate details of your life)
- Google Login (federates your identity across their Ad business and tracks your search history)
Everything else is nice to have, but not as “signal generating”.
Remove those and set your Google History to 30 days in your account settings and Google loses a lot of your identity really fast.
A long time ago I adopted the Jinx's Rating For All Things system and it's served me very well. It is very similar to OPs suggestion.
- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This thing is core to who I am. I don't want to live in a world without it. The experience was life changing.
- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I really like this thing! This will be in my rotation for along time. I had an amazing time!
- ⭐️⭐️⭐️: I like it. Perfect in the background. If it's on, I probably will watch/listen, but I probably won't seek it out. Inoffensive. This meets but doesn't exceed my expectations.
- ⭐️⭐️: Not my thing, but I see why people like it. It has value, just not to me. I was slightly annoyed.
- ⭐️: Why would anyone like this thing?!?!?!?
I personally think the 5-star rating system is perfect. Any more than that and a lot of the mid-tier ratings become arbitrary and everything is subject to immediacy bias. Tastes change over time and how much you like stuff changes, but I've found that they rarely change buckets in this system.
I don't understand why someone cares if they like one thing "just a little bit more" than another. It doesn't have to be a competition. Do you like it or do you love it? Is it core to understanding you as a person? Did you have an amazing time?
This article is giving me Pee Wee vibes.
That is a good looking model!
