I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven’t fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC’s and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it’s better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.

I as a video game enthusiast do not want my character to experience romance. It doesn’t happen in real life the way it is portrayed in media, and it’s fucking boring seeing it over and fucking over again. Gimme tragedy, gimme a problem I can solve, a mystery, or a war to fight. But romance, and sex, have not a damn place in those things. Developers of apparently every damn media have gotten it drilled into their heads that we want to read, watch, play thru, and otherwise experience their mental masturbation. Well I for one, don’t fucking want to experience it at all. Gimme a story, and if you can’t do it without pointless sex scenes then you don’t have a fuckin story, you have a story about fuckin.

So long as there is people living in a place, having kids, and trying to improve their lives, the places will remain. The government may change, social structure’s get overhauled, but the same fact that people are having kids and building a life means those places are unlikely to go away. The old republic is dead. We have supreme court justices taking bribes then passing judgments saying they can. We have the position of President where anyone in it can legally say “I was doing it for my country the laws don’t apply.” And get away with it. The United States of America as a Democratic Republic, is over. But there still exists a United States of America that has transitioned to a Democratic Empire/kingdom. So to the question; “Is the USA screwed?” The simple answer is No. It will continue on so lobg as the population does. Is the Democratic Republic of the United States screwed? Bitch be dead, screw the corpse if you like.

Make yourself do one thing a day. Today you washed a sink of dishes, keep going until the dishes are done if you can, but at least force yourself to get one thing done, unless you are physically unwell as well. If you are physically unwell, always try to fix that first. Injury, illness, and other physical malady, usually causes depression so you slow down and have a chance to figure out what’s going wrong. If you aren’t sick and only depressed, you can look back on the 1 thing you got done and know you didn’t just waste your time so at least you have that and don’t have to feel bad about doing nothing. Instead you decided to fight back the entropy with 1 task. It ain’t gotta be much, but making yourself do something, is still doing SOMETHING.

Grabs calendar Well hey that’s when my life fell apart after they killed my puppy. -probably unrelated.

New tech is always more expensive. So this is a dumb headline. Keep advancing it, selling it, and using it, and it will get better and cheaper over time. Removing carbon and the slew of chemicals that are too heavy to float off the earth is a requirement because they don’t just go away…

Keep going and try to apply yourself to the ADHD projects as much as humanly possible, you will expand your attention on the things you get all attention deficity on, and can train to be absorb situations quickly and astutely, the more powerful your ADHD the stronger you can train yourself to absorb knowledge because your attention naturally grabs anything happening, also try not to get distracted by a TV every time one is on, so ignore the meaningless stuff, focus the ADHD on important things, and grow as a person using your “disability” as a tool for success. -you will be exhausted regularly if you are doing it right, that much processing has a cost-

Just try using AI for a complicated mechanical repair. For instance draining the radiator fluid in your specific model of car, chances are googles AI model will throw in steps that are either wrong, or unnecessary. If you turn off your brain while using AI, you’re likely to make mistakes that will go unnoticed until the thing you did is business necessary. AI should be a tool like a straight edge, it has it’s purpose and it’s up to you the operator to make sure you got the edges squared(so to speak).

Here’s where that gets dirty: Does JimBobby that can’t hold down a job because he is 1: lazy and 2: an alcoholic, deserve a job where he isn’t going to work when he does show up? If enough people do that the system collapses because we are required to work to keep the system going. NOW! Contrary to popular beliefs the entire class of poor people are not JimBobby’s, they are hard working, reliable, and will put in a good days work. So a system where the gains of our efforts, the fruits of our labors, the returns on the investments we create with our labor isn’t untenable. HOWEVER, the 1% are waiting in the shadows with legions of JimBobby’s to release onto every news channel talking “I ain’t never gonna put in a hard days work, society does it for me…” So a system that incorporates slackers as a known condition for a small portion of the population, just the same as gold hording dragons seems to be a stage of existence for a small portion of the population. Then we might be able to wrangle a new type of social system that incorporates fixes for the failures we will definitely encounter that leads back to this Oligarchy bullshit. On a side note: To be clear, when I say the 1%, I don’t mean in your neighborhood, we celebrate when our own does well. I don’t necessarily mean in your city, a rising tide floats all boats even in a big city. I mean the people that statistically are in the top 1% for the entire planet for assets, not just liquid cash. All assets. Your uncle that worked for a good union and retired with almost a million in their retirement fund, even tho oddly voting for Donald Trump despite a union providing his good pay, isn’t even close to being in the top 1%, globally speaking probably not even in the top 50% even with all that insane poverty out there. The 1% have more money than anyone anywhere, they are a problem that requires a fix, it will not fix itself.

Socially I quit Facebook back when it was Facebook, when I was just starting to have extreme anxiety attacks because of repressed memories from my childhood and the people I had considered friends started spreading libelous claims behind my back and the fallout was either being unfriended by people that had been relatively close friends, and posts that I commented on became barren dessert’s, it was obvious people were isolating me out, what I didn’t know until much later, was that people were telling them I was a danger to others in whatever specific way would freak them out to make them isolate me. For instance some women were told I would sexually assault them if we were ever alone if they were particularly afraid of that, or they would say I would rape their kid’s if I had alone time with them. The weirdest was that I like to rape old ladies because I like the texture of their paper thin skin. Weird fucking shit from very sick, demented minds. I was already having anxiety attacks because of having my face bashed in when I was 2yo by a cop, intentionally. So being further abused on Facebook was a no brainer on things I won’t partake in. The truth is I wasn’t a danger to anyone, but I know who it was saying those things about me, the police in my old town know who they are and they did nothing. I am definitely a danger to those people now. But I’m states away, so how much damage could Lil ol me really cause with a 3/4in thick, 6ft titanium rod…

1. I had absolutely no concept of an idea that was associated with ADHD.
2. If you are determined and stick to it, with a bit of understanding and luck you can likely figure out most situations if you have an experienced person training you, and you can become oddly good at a large number of absurd and unrelated fields.
3. ADHD might actually just be a super hero origin story for those that take it far enough.

His net worth is NOT how much money he is net positive. All his net worth means, is he has hundreds of billions of assets, it says nothing for the debt load he is holding onto, nor how much of his assets are already leveraged. With how throughly he has obliterated xitters ad income when it was being sold because investors were unhappy with ad income already being too low, it looks like ol Elon might have found a sure fire way to turn a billion into a million, and somehow people keep loaning him money… Have they checked who else has their financial interests vested in assets he “owns” or when you have that much stuff do they just assume no one else is using it for collateral… Just be interesting if suddenly his entire fortune went up with a puff of smoke because the debt load was too high and one of his investments went further sour causing a cascade similar to a short squeeze, just encapsulated entirely on elon musk and his assets being liquidated…

But for whom will the AI be turned against? Is this their solution to armed civilians taking back the country from both parties using gorilla warfare? By using AI do they hope to remove the advantage civilians would have in “hit and run” assaults on military targets? Why keep increasing the edge of military capabilities unless you are preparing for a really massive enemy?

Meanwhile: me sitting here frustrated to hell people actually still pick “the lesser evil” PROTEST THE LESSER EVIL TOO!!! ACCEPT NOTHING LESS THAN COMPETENCY!

Our true power comes from mitochondria which is the power house of the cell. In this house we respect biology.

If someone put journalists email in every single email distro, and it stayed there past an upgrade so no one knew who did it, and every single internal memo was simply sent to a news reporter… That would be so damn funny. You know they got email distro’s with thousands of emails… Wouldn’t have been hard todo 2-3 yrs ago…

If you aren’t independently wealthy, you’re being taken advantage of.

You get used to a specific tone, and if you hear that tone, based on previous experience, you recognize it is probably bullshit. Then you start to tune out the bullshit, sometimes you might still miss something important, but that happens anyways. Check out what people are saying, if it’s actually true, you can decide if it actually should be a concern to you as an individual. Don’t believe “immigrants are destroying the country” without working with some as equals at a job. Same with other rage bait.

Netflix.

I too hide in video games from what god created IRL.
