Needs toads!

HUG IT

Imagine if you showed someone your coin collection, and they asked, “Why’s that penny special?”

“…It was someone’s last paycheck.”

It was more the dicks showing up in class unprompted. Then, it was people sharing links to shock sites. Now we have to worry about people stealing information. That was always a thing, it’s just a lot more common now.

I said the opposite of what I meant, my bad. I didn’t want to doxx myself and I tripped up.

I meant to say late. Are you gen z and getting old aswell?

I’m the oldest of Gen z (early 1990s). I have two younger siblings who are also Gen Z. Typing was a skill we learned in middleschool/ elementary. When I was about 8, we learned how to use google because it was considered a great resource to find information. By the time my middle sibling was in similar classes, they moved away from Google due to NSFW search results. When my youngest sibling was in school, they worried about shock sites.

They’ve slowly been removing computers from the school curriculum because of fear of outside forces. That includes typing, sadly. This is all coming from someone who grew up in a Plato self self education plan. (Online, self studies)

Ai is a great tool for VFX and plenty of other things. It’s been the norm for decades. Fake techies turned it into a buzzterm. It’s a great way to enable up and comers without resources to grow. If you’re lazily replacing people in workflow, of course, that’s predatory. That’s what a lot of CEO’s *want, but they won’t achieve. In reality, these tools are being created by the people they’re supposed to “replace” to make their jobs easier. I have a passion for art, programming, and a lot of other things that are “effected” by ai. So far, it seems like fear mongering. Traditionalist always get fucked in the art world. You just kinda shoot for it. (I work in graphite and animation)

Clint’s Reptiles had a good video on this.

Right side of the picture.

I zoomed in on the photoshopped tattoo on the right arm. Not only is the image the first one that pops up on Google when you search, “tribal wolf tattoo,” but MULTIPLE people have it as a real tattoo.

(Sorry for using terrible mobile screenshots)

No, but my Dad’s an engineer, so we don’t really talk about anything, lol. We work on projects together for fun as a middle ground.

If you live near the beach, go to watch the sunset. They’ll have fun playing in the sand, tire themselves out, and then you can talk.

Personally, I don’t want to be remembered, except in the context of a few stories. I’m more worried about the ephemeral nature of information in general and the ability of people to manipulate our perception of the past. Imagine if you were well “remembered,” but someone just made everything up. That’s terrifying to me. It is better to be forgotten than misrepresented, IMO.

“I feeling stretched. Like chocolate pudding scraped across too much ham.”

I love nag champa! The og smells so sweet, and the ashes are pretty/ easy to clean. I always think of headshops, though lol. They taught me the bottle trick, though. I like to use a key ring to hold the insence upside down in a glass bottle. It’s super clean.

I had the same thing with video games. My dad got a free promotional copy of Morrowind from Fry’s. I didn’t have a computer/ laptop, but every summer, my dad would let me use his on our road trips. That game made me want to learn so much about anthropology, biology, history, mythology, etc… I played for hundreds of hours and never even came close to finishing.
