getting from my house to my office on my old road bike used to take 45 mins and I’d be sweaty when I got there, and the idea of 45 mins uphill after work used to make me wanna off myself. Since I got an e-assist its 25 mins and I’m like lah de dah meep meep

I’m not trying to be mean. I do have a very hard time understanding why anyone is working to make this happen. There are millions of truly great short stories and novels out there that communicate something imtimate and subtle about what it means to make a life worth living, or that might help us navigate tragedies in our lives, or what it means to establish a congruant narrative or even identity.

AI literature (and visual ‘art’), to me, seems like putting all of that good stuff into a blender and making a pulp out of all of it, then chaining seemingly related bits together and spitting it out, kind of like calling ground beef a cow, or at least calling ground beef a T-bone steak.

I hope AI can help work out better antibiotics, or how to detect diseases much earlier (recent report shows parkinson’s detection an average of 7 years earlier than otherwise using AI) and/or how the f to fix the climate crisis at a stretch. Using a ton of power derived from fossil fuels to shred a million books and stitch them back together into some analogue of an actual story … I just can’t understand why anyone would want that, and I’ve never heard anyone wish for it

who would take time to read something no one could be bothered to write

more oil and gas exploration, precicely what the world needs

yeah of course- I mean your experiences here are so different neurobiologically… acid makes regions of your brain that normally dont communicate start sending signals to each other, wheras a serious dose of a dissasociative is going to be seriously dissasocative … just radically differen’t experiences. they used to call acid “instant zen”

for what its worth I understand what you mean. I had a friend who used to say that acid was like becoming a child neurologically again, suddenly able to reassess everything you’ve seen a million times

what you dont know could fill a book I wouldnt put succession on the same tier as sopranos (very little comes close), all I was saying is its not about crazy plot twists, and more about the way the emotionally crippled kids of logan roy cosplay as human beings. I enjoyed it- jeremy strong and brian cox did a great job imo

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!! It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!!!

right? thats all this takes.

I never tire of this gag

you think they don’t covet their neighbors wives, take the lord’s name in vain, worship false idols/put other gods before “him” and don’t steal?

I guess… a lot of the time it was Landsman eating Arby’s at his desk

its a character study, not a bombastic thriller. Same as the shows most folks rave about: Sopranos, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Arrested Development… its fine to not like anything but I’m not sure why you’d take time to write about how you don’t like anything. Do you find posts about, say, an art heist and post about how you haven’t liked any paintings in a couple centuries

awww youve never bought street powders thats nice

thyroid medication

fair enough, and I’m sure you know what you’re doing. I’ve always felt that I’m in a much, much stronger position saying I’m employeed but I’d prefer to work for you rather than them suspecting that I just need some job, any job ya know

anyway, hope you work it out

duuuude get a new job before you quir the old one

what did the guy kill the kids with

how would you describe lemmy? an original work? get the fuck over it dude

the social psychology phenomenon is called “evaluation anticipation”.

you are more activated when you are anticipating observation and evaluation by the observers.

part of your brain is processing what you look like doing the task, and generally you do the task with more overall activation.

long story short, you get better at very simple tasks (ie tying your shoe) and worse at complex tasks (like playing a complex piano piece on stage).

because it is a symptom checklist out of the DSM.

this has absolutely no business posing as a pie chart.
