Girls’ last tour

Azumanga Daioh

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun

Ouran high school host club

No particular order but the first two resonated with me albeit in different ways. The latter 3 just land really well in the humor department. There’s a heavy bit of nostalgia for Azumanga and Ouran specifically, and Ouran itself is definitely dated in a lot of ways. But a recent rewatching of Ouran cemented my enjoyment of it even today, along with making me realize that I just really like melodrama.

Hostile takeover is basically the only way I could see this country changing. And I don’t see that happening.

I inherently care more about someone I chose to make part of my family than I do either of my parents.

This country’s not getting better unless it’s completely rebuilt from the ground up.

Easier of a solution than I had found when I tried… I remember looking it up basically being told it wasn’t possible without a lot of fiddling. Strange. Good to know it’s actually simple!

As a heads up, Librewolf last I checked had issues with media involving DRM. Ergo, streaming services will throw a fit if you try using them on it. Not an issue if you don’t use any of course, and there may be ways around it, but worth knowing that it doesn’t work out of the box at least.

You’re not. You’re not doing that work. The LLM is.

Infinite scroll pages are inherently worse than a set number of pages you can jump between at will. The fact almost everything has swapped to that is a nightmare and makes looking for old things on a blog or hell even a YouTube Playlist a nightmare.

I was 17 I realized I was trans. A revelation that helped me better understand my sexuality as well. Turns out I’m bi/pan. I did spend several years just assuming I was ace because the idea of sex didn’t interest me until I realized I was a woman.

I’m going to be honest those do not sound like good uses. I want games to be designed with intent, not on the spot by an LLM.

I don’t even want that, I’d rather a game have its characters and writing created with intent by a person who cares.

My childhood bedroom basically.

It’s… Not really a scam so much as a thing for weird cranks who think the apocalypse is coming. If you have gold then you have gold. And gold will likely hold its value for a long time because it’s a rare resource. Unless we find some alchemy that turns common materials into it, it will likely stay that way. So if you buy gold at market value then you can always sell it later at market value, and that market value is almost guaranteed to be higher than when you bought it.

The people who are really into it though are the weird cranks. And I’d imagine certain stocks or even bonds are arguably better returns in the same time span.

My recommendation is to just stop using it and everyone else be damned.

You have 800 friends, do you actually talk to all 800 of them regularly? Are they actually friends or just people you kinda know who interact with you on Facebook?

I’d say text your actual friends or talk to them on whatever chat app you prefer, and ignore everyone else.

If a game isn’t easy to play with a controller then I’m probably just not going to play it with a controller to begin with honestly, track pads or no. If I have to mess with stuff in desktop mode on my steam deck then I use the pads but otherwise, I haven’t really found them useful.

Do what you find morally best in that situation. Loyalty to a nation is honestly stupid to begin with. Use your brain and think. And if that means staying out of it, then stay out of it.

Smart answer: put it all towards my student loans

Assuming I need to like, actually pay for a good or service… New computer, new computer chair, gifts for Christmas, fancy digital piano, a couple gift cards to a restaurant I like, a handful of games, some nice but kinda expensive clothes, some VSTs…

If I quickly math all this out with generous assumptions for the price… That still puts me well under 20k. I dunno, I’ll go eat at a favorite restaurant of mine and tip the waitstaff whatever is left.

Sadly I’ve got too many programs that don’t work on linux, or don’t work well. And an old synthesizer that I can’t imagine would work on linux unless I made a driver for it myself, and that’s a bit beyond me.

Sure. I have no attachment to my last name.

Environmental issues aside, it’s just kinda useless for anything I’d want to use it for. It’s unreliable for even basic research so I’d have to double check anything it’d spit out, so I might as well just skip it and do the research myself to begin with. I don’t care to chat with it or generate images/videos. As a new hobby programmer, I’ve been warned against using it for that from people I know who do it regularly. According to them, it’s not very good at debugging, and the code it writes tends to be bad even when it works.

So, it just seems like a waste of time.
