And like magic, there was just an article that said margin debt at an all time high… either we’re going to have a whole new class of billionaires, or we’re about to see a bubble pop like no other.

I like asking which heaven or hell? Mormons have this thing called eternal darkness or some shit and you need to be really bad to go there. But they also have 3 heavens, with the bottom class heaven for heathens like me.

I kind of hope it’s like a resturant. Yes, i’ll have the Heaven of the day, hold the damniation. Yes, yes, i’ll take an order of angel wings and a harp. No, lets save and get just silver, no need to be flashy.

Or better yet, which heaven did the Christians go to? I’ll take the other heaven please.

I also add a walk into the mix. No phones, no TVs, no computers… nothing with a screen - I do this every day and it’s easy because I now live in Spain and that’s the life here after 7pm. But in the USA i was the weird one.

Speaking of, it’s 8am Saturday here. So I’m off to do nothing. See ya

I’ll start with a joke, “so this guy has been randomly teleported onto a TED talk stage in his underwear…” and then I’d probably talk about how the over prevalence of “easy” in our day to day life has allowed us to become complacent and encourages us to stop fighting the inevitable downfall of life as we see it. All so billionaires can keep existing and we can be doomscrolling without being worried about life outside around the world.

I’d fill the full 30 min.

Before the physical photos were digitized…

Not sure about you but in my house we had a photo wall where the best memories were and the books just held the “other photos” that also told the story. Most of my books from my parents were smaller and less memorable things like parties, fireworks, camping… but the shot of me scoring a goal, my sisters in a pyramid, that year we all dressed as scooby and gang…that was on the wall and now of course, on our digital frames we all own.

I’ll agree the value of a photo goes down when you can take 200 in a minute, but the memories we missed because we had to save the other 20 shots left… didn’t make those memories priceless.

Also people, back that shit up. When my kids turned 18 I shared a drive with them of all their younger years and have a digital executor for when I die who knows where the pics are (and what to delete 😏)

I have never felt more connected to a comic, ever.

I will repeat this over and over. AI is not for you or for me, we are users of the byproduct which is money exchange. Look at search engines, google is perfect example. AI just makes it so that we users can make simple queries and get answers, Google did that too and then became this monster which makes absolutely nothing, but searching the internet is easier and billions in ad revenue.

Some may argue there are some of us power users find beneficial use of AI, but we are small subset of users who in many cases were already smart enough to do the work. I love cowork for that reason, I share code I’ve written, projects with epics and work items and cowork makes the next project just like I did. What took a week, takes hours. Time which I now spend learning the next actual thing, quantum computing.

I miss my MJ, but it fucks with my heart so it’s a no go for me. It was critical to my recovery after a head on collision and the after effects. Doc was prescribing dilaudid, and that shit is something like sythentic heroin and his nurse i calling like every week to find out why i never filled the rx.

Nooo thanks. I hope this proves to be viable.

Mmmm, pine apple.

Nope. Just toss the salad

OH NO!

So anyway, where are the Epstine files?

Casual observer here but i noticed a significant drop in cars in europe. People walk or mass transit. I’m sure there are stats for it but in a city where walking is 1st, people just pay attention more. Americans… will drive 2 blocks to the store and need to text BFF Jane about the latest tictok

I just saw a post today on linkedin that shares how to use Claude in 7 days. I think it’s day 3-4 where you’ve been told to don’t think, let Claude do the thinking and I just gave up on the future of humanity.

Idiocracy is more like real Life tv now versus a movie.

80s kid here, we learned on typewriters and the shared apple ii in the library. I was good at it because I knew piano and it just settled easy in my mind.

I made it mandatory for my kids to learn because I just knew this shit would be needed. Also didn’t allow for short words like LOL until they could type it out. Daughter got to a point where her “laugh out loud” was amazingly fast and she begged me to let her “be normal” lmfao.

This is the way.

Anyone else remember when Google bragged about never being worried about storage as you watched your storage free count, grow and grow and grow.

Ahhh. Memories.

• Me at 11yr answering phone: “hello? I AM NOT <moms name>!!!
• Me at 16yr answering phone: “hello? I AM NOT <dad’s name>!!!

And:

• Also me: “MOM PHONE FOR YOOOOUUU!!”
• Mom: <normal tone cause she’s in the room near by> “did you ask who it was!?!”
• Me: <normal tone> “who’s calling please? <yelling>Mom, it’s Debbie!!!”

And lastly:

Kids will never get to experience the thrill of talking to your girlfriend about tonight while your little sister gets on the phone in the basement and makes “make out noises” loudly before giggling and hanging up.

Shhh, the smart people are talking. Listen and learn

This will be be one of those that they use to tag onto your allegedly illegal activities. Probably a larger penalty but a secondary infraction that can be painful. They just need reason.

I think you can equate it to if you were pulled over for speeding, and they noticed a busted taillight which makes the fine larger. They can’t pull you over for a busted taillight alone but they can add those fees on and wow do they add up.
