Real life friends

Funny how you have a real life scenario compared to a fake one.

Because the overlords want data. So data collection must be in everything because top dollar is being paid for it.

AI itself is not bad.

But the unregulated industry, breaking laws all the time, people in charge are literal super villains, mass surveillance, producing even more idiots that I have to depend and interact with, …

Take it away, it is not doing anything we want it to actually do. I only want robots/computers for one thing, and that is to do chores around the house. It doesn’t do that, so I am out.

It is impossible to gather food for yourself. We don’t live in pre-civilization or even the wild west. Everything is owned by someone, regulated, etc.

How do you expect to feed yourself? Not like you can just gather all day and get lucky hunting.

It is objectively harder to ‘live on the land’ then it was centuries ago. Borderline impossible, especially if you want to… you know live and interact with people.

I have a wife and cat to look out for, hard to do that when I can’t pay rent.

• 10-15 min walks. Great time to just get the body moving and get into deep thought or listen to an audiobook

• Having a regular water refill routine

• Weekly/monthly budget/finances review

• All the small annoying non “fun” stuff that every old persons unsolicited advice essentially.

How old are you and where are you from?

Because in the US it has been a ‘fashion statement’ for decades. Maybe even centuries to be honest.

It has gotten LESS popular compared to the 2000s. Haven’t seen one in a while tbh.

Social media was not a mistake, but unregulated social media was.

The whole incentive for businessman to ‘innovate’ in tech is to skirt around the law. We have had laws about theft for centuries, but now since its ‘digital’ theft we have to write new laws for some reason?

Just an example, but social media/tech unregulated is what got us here.

It begs the question, what is the ‘good’ solution.

Or is ‘good’ even possible?

Office worker in government. Everyone around me is either an idiot/incompetent or doing all the work. Will get ‘rewarded’ with more work if I start asking for more.

At least you get to go home early if you want. I guarantee that 80% of office workers pretend to work all day because if we don’t then we are given more work/responsibilities without a pay increase, job title, any reward.

A lot of office work is ‘be ready to answer a question at anytime when someone walks up to your cube’. And to be fair, you are probably the only person who can answer that question since most people’s role is niche/specialized.

But honestly, pretty sure office workers/management want people in the office all hours of the days because they hate their home life, and use work as their only socialization.

How can you tell that my account is new?

Also its a new account, I was here a few years ago.

Only had my heart broken once (twice if you count me taking her back after cheating).

Time was the only thing that helped me. And then after a year or two, trying to talk to other girls.

Either way, its rough man. Just know that you are not alone and everybody goes through it.

When I was a child, I would lay awake at night, in retrospect it was anxiety and depression due to loneliness (only child, sheltered, private school with less than 10 kids).

What I did, without the knowledge or concept of anxiety and depression, was that I would let me thoughts run and I would use logic and reasoning to get through them.

“What if a kid makes fun of me for this and that?” “I would then do this”, and then I would play out every single possible situation in my head on what the most common, worst, and best outcomes were.

A decade of doing that helped me.

Daily covers US politics with weekly recaps.

True, but it is hard to ignore that the a certain class seems to be centralized/condensed to one generation specifically. And that generation also consistently and energetically supports them to the day they die.

Does your wife take requests?

A loaf of sourdough with cheddar and jalapeno please.

I already have a bake at work, but I will gladly be fat for bread. If bread was good enough for our ancestors, its good enough for me damnt!

At least for us that are clever, can use tactics like this while we can.

So I am a linux user, but use Windows 11 for work. I am an accountant in the school system.

Windows works fine for my work purposes. Especially when a lot of applications are being removed for web clients. I still use quite a bit of desktop applications, but I see the writing on the wall; soon all my work can be done on any device.

When the desktop application in work spaces finally die, I am curious if industries will switch to linux since its free and can be run on any hardware essentially. That or maybe owners will force their workers to use their own devices (phones, like Samsung DeX) to do work.

Definitely.

Its ignoring that people’s use of their personal vehicle is actually for work purposes, commuting; and guess what? People don’t like to commute and try to get it down as quickly as possible.

His situation does work for people on road trips, but ignores the daily lives and routine of everybody that works for money.

Another instance of CEOs having immense privilege and literally cannot fathom or understand how normal people operate. I mean, just go stand outside a 7/11 for 30 minutes and start counting how many people go inside vs getting their gas and go.

Been using RecipeSage recently, highly recommend.
