Mind if I ask what your use case is for CLI MIDI? I’m curious.

Now THAT’s a Qud story. 😆

But he’s from Finland.

You are 100% right but as you outlined below the phrasing is a bit off. My personal anecdote is that all of the above helped and is still helping me keep my head on straight. I’m not on meds yet but was diagnosed last year and although the above absolutely does help, it can only help so much.

I’ve hit my personal limit and its time for pharmaceutical help.

I’m so burnt out and jaded on AI that I don’t think I’ll ever use it for any reason ever. I just wish we could put the cat back in the bag. I know that will never happen.

Committing war crimes in your off time?

Having been on the autobahn in a shitbox Renault econobox rental, 100mph is plenty fast. In North America (especially the rust belt) with how shitty the vehicle safety inspection standards are, I honestly don’t trust the people around me to have maintained their car to an adequate standard to be safe driving at 100mph. Don’t even get me started on how shitty people’s driving skills tend to be.

A car is already a lethal projectile at 60mph. I don’t like the idea of increasing the lethality potential for the average highway driving mistake.

Don’t take big steps. Take small ones.

In the running world, there’s this thing called “Couch-to-5k”. Its a progran that can literally take you from square one - the couch - to a non-stop 5k run. Its all about small gains and slow incremental progress.

A few small conscious efforts to disconnect from your phone every day, even for 15 mins at a time, will slowly add up to bigger and bigger gains over time. If you can break the impulse to check your phone by disrupting the immediate availability of your phone, you might be able to get the ball rolling pretty quickly.

Ditch Windows anyway.

Honorable mention for Nobara Linux. 👾🎮

Most? Only the biggest bands ever consider this. I’d wager 90%+ of bands are not incorporated.

I do the same but add a stainless steel litterbox in the bottom of the large bin so nothing sticks.

Just cut a hole in the side so your cats don’t have to jump high to get in.

The Stiltgrounds occupy one full parasang. If you didn’t know, a parasang is a 3x3 grid of zones. The stilt itself is at the center, and the merchant bazaar occupies the eight zones around it. You can follow the road to stay on track as well so you don’t get lost.

Have you been to the Stilt yet? Lots of merchants there including grenadiers.

Even if he wasn’t, a sense of humour goes a long way. A loooooong way.

Are those devices not doing the exact same thing though? Why wouldn’t they? Sure they probably don’t have cameras and microphones in them but they probably still do ACR

“GIVE ME SOMETHING TO BREAK! HOW ‘BOUT YOUR FUCKIN’ FACE!?”

The 90’s were awesome.

A TV just needs to be a dumb display and nothing more.

And you think posturing as a steamroller is going to be any better? People will hand wave you away if all you’ve got is aggression. You’re full of hot air and all that does is delegitimize you in a debate.

You’re not entirely wrong, you’re just an asshole about it. Even if I agreed with you fully I’d still want to avoid you.

Some real I am 12 and know everything vibes here.

Men whose entire identity is tied with what truck they drive. Its absolutely insane how pervasive this shit is.

A friend of mine is has super restricted finances because he has a kid and a truck. He wants a house but can’t afford it because his truck costs him almost $1k/month. I’ve hinted that he should ditch the truck but he just can’t bring himself to do it. Everyone at work drives big trucks so he feels like he has to as well to fit in.

It’s completely fucked.
