Using AI is like putting those little helper wheels back on your bike while you're perfectly able to use your bike without them, because you think you're faster with three wheels.

So i found these big googly eyes and knew exactly what to do

I just noticed that when I watch something while spinning with my e-spinner, and I want the video to start or stop, I tap the e-spinner pedal first because It Makes Things Go Or Stop..

It's funny how the brain abstracts theses kinda "function paths"..

A similar thing might be when I have a book or some text on actual, physical paper, and I peruse for something specific, my brain zaps me with imagery of pressing CTRL+F.

I did a very daring thing today and sat down at the open piano at the central station, and played a piece I've been practicing for months, The Wind Forest by Joe Hisaishi, from the "Ghibli Best Stories" sheetmusic book.

This here, just wayyy slower:

And like, my fingers were trembling, but they knew where to go, and gosh, I'm so proud for stepping over my shadow and doing it (with kid 1 cheering for me!).

And then some people even clapped!

And when I left the premise, i felt a little nauseous and like my knees were going to give up.

But i was so happy I did it, and still am 😁😁😁

I'm growing weary of my smartphone.

I hate my dependency on it.

I hate how it distracts me from reality.

I hate how reality is something i want to he distracted from.

I love my pocket friends though who live inside the device but also in their own reality that they also want to be distracted from sometimes.

I've grown weary of my smartphone.

[mapplestrudel]

Not in tune with myself because if i was i'd be crying all the time

Dear Ubisoft,

why, praytell, by the Seven Seas, does Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, want elevated admin rights upon starting it, and why, I prithee, do I have to do an extra step to log in to the game itself that I started from your suckass launcher where I am LOGGED IN ANYWAYS?

Why can I tell the launcher to remember the password, but can't tell the over TEN YEAR OLD GAME to remember the password that IT DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW IN THE FIRST PLACE TEN YEARS AGO?

With best regards, an Assassin's Creed player
