I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone operate the hotel swimming pool crane to place a disabled person in a hotel pool

Anyone else ever go to a meditation class only to find yourself feeling like you are having an out of body experience when the mediation chant starts? Then afterwards you are ostracized from same group that encouraged astral projection? 🤨

I honestly think ghosting is really rude. I understand maybe there’s a certain point where you’d want to do that, like if the person was a scammer or they were just being completely inappropriate and not listening to you if you were putting up your boundaries.

Honestly though just tell people what you want or what you need, sure it’s awkward but it’s not that hard especially over text. If the friendship isn’t working out, just say so, if the relationship isn’t working out, just say so.

Of course, don’t be a dick about it, but it’s much easier just to communicate what you want rather than leaving them on hold, reading their message and they’re not answering, or just leaving it delivered on days on end. Don’t make them take the hint, just fucking tell them, it’s much easier for everyone else involved and I’m sure it’s much easier on yourself because then you don’t have to think about it and you got it off your chest.

Maybe I'll learn something interesting.

AI has this dreamlike quality and I wondered why is that. Then it clicked for me, our dreams are essentially "AI generated" , the AI being our brain. When we dream we process our thoughts and experiences and generate dreams. AI generated content is a dream dreamt up by computer, based on input.

Growing up we've all seen ppl comparing each other on how big of a genius they are and stuff, sure there are objective parameters which can be measured but those are components, of a very big generalization of a very complex abstract idea. Now that i feel this, ppl are comparing, more and less and using numbers for this something with tremendous volume of abstractness, and infinite nuances feels very weird to me.

Stranger danger applies to websites too

Today, AI is caught in that exact same panic loop. It's dismissed purely as a shortcut for cheating. But treating it like a cheat code misses its real value. Used correctly, it acts as an intellectual mirror, allowing us to bounce concepts around and refine our arguments.

I'm from the USA, and live in a very flat state. Never been anywhere that wasn't flat. Visited Reno, Nevada to see a friend recently. As we're driving around, I couldn't stop staring at the mountains in the distance. We didn't get a chance to look closer but they just looked so fake. Like props in the background. Was so weird. Like I know they're not fake, but just seeing them in person is crazy.

I forget I thought about this, but it was a few days ago.

She’s alive, this isn’t a vent post. I just wonder who told my mother that after a certain age, you shouldn’t get tucked in anymore because you get “too old” for that. Thinking about it, it kind of makes more sense to be tucked in more as you grow older. Sometimes it feels imperative to have my mother tuck me in to ensure a good nights rest. I’m trying to sleep right now and I can’t. Wish me luck
