It's sad to see artists willingly accept slop outside of their craft.

I've seen musicians defend their use of ai slop on the cover art because what matters is the music, I recall an interview of a book author defending the usage of ai slop on his book cover because, well, don't judge a book by it's cover.

I even attended a photography book launch where the author proudly announced that the foreword was written by a LLM.

got a match and first question was if I was an EU citizen, I am, but decided to reply "no" just for fun. Then she asked me if I was here legally and on the path of citizenship, I replied yes just to see where this was going.

"alright, contact me again when you're an EU citizen"

A friend set me up on a date with a coworker of him. then she spent about 20 minutes drawing my astral chart. She had notes, books and even an iPad app.

Eventually she concluded we were not compatible, while I concluded the same thing about 20 seconds in.

Last time I went to The Hague, I saw a dedicated rayban/meta store in the city centre

that wikipedia article is a work of art

I had the opposite happen to me once back in my early 20s

One time I was dead tired and could barely keep myself awake after working in an university assignment due the next day. I finished past midnight and went to bed at 1am, I recall watching the clock before going to sleep since I had to set up an alarm for 8am or something.

Thing is, I fell asleep immediately, then I woke up fully refreshed before my alarm went off, I woke up feeling amazing, fully awake and ready to go. Then I checked the time... 1:50am. Since I couldn't fall asleep again I watched some movies until my alarm went off and then went to class like nothing happened.

Yes, I was tired very early the next day, but I still think of that night from time to time

I had an acquittance who made a profile for her son while she was pregnant, profile picture was an ecography and she would sometimes post roleplaying as the baby. I'm glad we're not in touch anymore.

I swear Instagram started adding random accounts to my following list, from time to time I see posts from random meme accounts and I'm somehow following them, Even tho I only follow people I know IRL.

Similarly in Chile, some talk about the economic miracle under Pinochet. Yet it happened after he left power in 1990.

I did not know about this, thanks !

I started reading believing it would be a piece on how difficult it is to find men who are not misogynistic incel fans of andrew tate or joe rogan, but it's about how hard it is to find a man who has an 8 figure net worth

London recalls a woman she worked with who asked for a man who practiced a particular religion, had a minimum net worth of eight figures, flew private, and had some idiosyncratic lifestyle specifications. He needed to be okay with her having children and to want more children. Oh, and of course he had to be a certain height and live within a designated geographic radius

it did, but this interview was before the pandemic and the work market was a lot better, I was able to dismiss interviews just like that
