Very cool. My only source was Reds video (overly sarcastic productions) it stuck with me just how old that story is and how many times it’s been retold for differnt purposes.

Also makes you wonder what the myths of the distant future will be. Will these flood myths remain or will it be like the myths of Homer the Simpson.

Wasn’t the flood thing also mentioned in the epic of gilgamesh from some other older god?

How many times has this man retired now? I hope he takes good care of himself though. Man wrote the sound track to many of our lives.

Between this and Pokémon sleep I’m questioning why Nintendo needs to watch us sleep.

I like this one. It’s just a fun little game, nothing crazy, no hidden lore or hours of grinding. Just a little story telling for the season.

The methodology seems sketchy. If this ai is just scraping tweets for mentions it may not know the difference between Mario or East side Mario’s (Italian restaurant chain in Canada) I don’t know anyone up here who’d say Mario is their favorite character in video games. It’s could also baised if a game had recently come out featuring any if these characters around the time of polling.

Am I missing a joke or did they spell hear as here accidently?

Not sure if Boost is messing with me but there’s no you tube link here

It’s a game of monopoly and we’re all losing.

So you want to see the manager?

The Ezra street parties that cost the city thousands are totally fine. but they freak out over a few tents. The only reason this school is around is that it’s a feeder school to a lot of local tech companies that want fresh meat to grind.

So pretty much all of them. I’d assume most of those who are not landlords intend to become landlords and will vote pro landlord policies in anyway.

I’ve had these. Usually related to those I am close with. Dreams of bad things happening to them or dreams of intense jealousy. They make me wake up in a panic. I’m 37 now but only been getting help I the last year or so.

My therapist advised me that (at least in my case) these don’t nessary reflect who I am in waking world. the reasons these dreams disturb me is because they counter my views of myself.

It’s like if I dream of myself committing a grievously violent murder and I wake up disturbed. That doesn’t mean I have a desire to hurt people it means the opposite.

Your own case may be different but you can’t really stop bad dreams. Dreams are a symtomn of bad sleep so you can work on improving that. What you can do is learn how to process a dream and have it affect you less negatively.

Good luck.

Now you can relax with a delicious bowl of granny creams.

I’ve spent 2 months transcribing an entire poorly written text book into a Google doc. I’m now taking that transcription and having chat gpt rewrite it all for readability. All so I can maybe pass certification exam.

The problem is less with us and more with academia having developed an highly oppressive way of writing things. But from my perspective it’s just sloppy unreadable garbage.

AI has been great I can just give It the promt “make this concise and readable using only common language” and it will take entire chapters down to simple point form lists for me.

I also use goblin tools for writing.

What is this? did they bring back the Doozy Bots?

Comming from a simular situation. So the best I can give is my own story.

Nearing my 40s. More of a rimworld/minecrafter. Every day off work, every waking minute im in a game.

short version of a long story. I’m experiencing huge life changes. Therapy and friends convinced me to remove one of the major causes of my isolation. And with it going away I saw just how isolated I actually was all this time. I saw how badly it has affected me. The negativity is part of that. It’s like a symptom of isolation poisoning.

I feel for the first time that I’ve wasted so much time. I didn’t value making friends or seeking a life parter. Though having made a friend everything changed.

Honestly the desire to play games is fading and it now feels bad to play games all day. Making a real friend who is postive made me want to be more positive i leared that it’s a genuinely good feeling.

Isolation is comfortable but it comes at a cost you may not see. It’s good to go out and get some perspective occasionally.

It’s been recommended on here a few times but I’m finding that Goblin tools the judge tool is pretty good. If thats not cutting it I just have chat gpt do the whole letter. I’d generate one from scratch or have it make my existing letter “more readible” and ask it to be “less wordy”.

The frequent over apologizing was a thing I had issues with as well. I focused on stopping because I realized it can be negative for those you communicate with.

Apologies are hard to reply too. So if your apologizing all the time your are putting a burden on them to acknowledge it. This can strain communication over time.

Also, like other things, overuse of apologies weakens them. If your a little more picky about when to apologize it will make them more genuine. This is also why I avoid yelling and cursing. So when I do those things, the expression has some potency.

Lasty it’s unprofessional in written communications. This is probably a more controversial opinion. But for the reasons above and because it can make your communication less concise. In the professional environment being clear and concise is more important then being polite. (Though you still need to be polite).

The added bonus is that doing this will make you sound more confident.

I heard of this one. I can’t help but think that this guy was just killed because it will be cheaper in the long run to excute him rather then pay to keep him in prison. I dont think this was about mercy, rehabilitation or justice it was about profit and the value of human lives.
