I had a dream last night that my mother was still alive and my brother arranged a spiritual intervention to save her soul with Jesus and all of my aunts and uncles and cousins were involved. In the dream, I was kind of sad that I wasn’t involved or that anyone thought i needed saving even if I thought it was kind of nonsense.
Also in the same dream I got myself a baby panther and a baby leopard and was playing with them and even in the dream I was thinking, “this is probably a really bad idea, owning big cats.”
In summary, I’m back on the trolley for getting a dog.
I love Neco she is the most beautiful and best at everything
I was up all last night tossing and turning because of sudden muscle tension/pain in my arms and back. I don't know what it was about but it felt awful and made it really difficult to sleep.
Anyway, this morning I impulse bought one of those massage guns so let's see if that prevents it from happening again.

What will really do it for me VR-wise is when they can combine the tech in that $6k one with the form factor of the really slim light ones they're coming out with these days.

I took a nap last night and dreamed that I bumped into Dolly Parton on the street and for some reason we immediately began making out. But dream me broke it off after just a few moments, saying "hold on, wait here, I'll be right back" and ran across the street to a tattoo parlor, pointed to a Ken doll on the counter that had "DREAMS DO COME TRUE" tattooed on its face, and said "I want one like that!"
Then my alarm went off and I woke up, very confused at dream Jacob's judgment.
Because I'm 40 I now have friends who were adamant that the dog they got in their 20s was the same thing as a baby who now have actual kids.
Occasionally they'll vent about much work kids are/how much they worry about their kids/how expensive they are
And it takes everything I have not to remind them how shitty they got anytime someone pointed out that no, a dog is not a human child and that a human child is actually takes a shitload more, well, everything
Surely nobody ever does that seriously? It's always just a joke?

On the plus side human children actually begin to take care of themselves in many ways.
Meanwhile everyone I know with a dog has to get up first thing in the morning and take it to piss or something. Like it's a fucking perpetual toddler.
Pets and babies are similar in that they are both dependent living creatures but like
The differences are so stark, even early on
The almost immediate independence of animals, the massive cognitive leaps human children make, the fact that even a toddler can communicate verbally and understand basic negotiation, etc
The number one takeaway from having a needy cat is that my partner and I wouldn't be able to handle having a kid, or we would have to change our emotional makeup dramatically to gain the resilience necessary
Because a needy cat doesn't even come close and it's still A LOT
I don't understand why twitter is convinced that NFTs are super harmful and ruining the planet, when in reality they're mostly just extremely stupid.
Doesn't each one do like 100 pounds of carbon emissions for absolutely nothing?
I know it's not a lot but man, making things worse doesn't seem like a good idea
Yeah but there's thresholds right? There's a carbon footprint for everything and there are battles worth fighting. NFTs are dumb as fucking shit. They're valueless, pointless trash. Creating a unique token someone can hold to prove they """own""" a jpeg is utterly moronic. But regardless of my personal views, I think we can agree to file it away as a discretionary entertainment spend.
Every time you eat beef you produce, conservatively, 200x that weight in CO2 released into the atmosphere. Every time you buy a new TV or a new PC part for gaming, or order a toy online, or fly somewhere for a vacation, or activate climate control in your home, the carbon footprint stacks up and it stacks up pretty goddamned high!
So as completely stupid as NFTs are, and they are just about as dumb as anything can be, I don't feel they especially rate vs various things we do as a matter of course, living our lives in a developed country. Most people aren't buying thousands of NFTs. And the reaction to their environmental impact and the discourse around it, is imo way out of proportion.
Also mocking NFTs for being stupid is better because it can't be argued against.

NFT from a trusted issuer representing an actual physical asset, like a title or deed, or land rights, would be a neat use case for the tech IMO. Especially once proof of work gets mitigated.
What they are used for today is just fucking dumb, full stop.
edit: though, arguably, so are trading cards and rare comics.

I think it's obvious stupidity exacerbates how much of an environmental impact it makes. I get a PC part, I can do something of objective value. Having a JPEG worth money because of techbro-voodoo-blockchain-bullshit that also pollutes makes it's rather meager contribution to the global climate crisis even more offensive, imho.
It's like if Rush Limbaugh were also a shitty tipper.
The difference between pets and babies is, leaving a puppy locked in a kennel in the bathroom to cry all night is normal. Leaving a baby locked in a kennel in the bathroom to cry all night is a felony.

At least cards and comics you own the actual thing. NFTs are like buying a receipt not issued by the store saying you "own" a thing in the display case.

@amateurhour@VishNub New season of MeatEater is on Netflix and episode 3 had them doing whitetail deer in Texas and man the food looked good
the star was they fileted out this sheet of venison from like the ribs? Normally throwaway meat or just ground for sausage or whatever, and the had this wild game chef there who knew how to butcher out this cut, and they did a roulade with that, bacon, onion, cheese, and jalapeno and rolled it up and grilled it off then braised it for a day
Also the ranch is holyshit beautiful in like Texas December
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

It's been like 10 days and I haven't received a bill despite emailing twice to ask about it
that means it's free now right

Absolutely

but they're listening to every word I say
Unless you get one of those hairless cats but they are pretty gross-looking so better not
Maybe I'll add some curry powder. That could be fun.
but they're listening to every word I say
what about kids that are always in a fuzzy onesie?
Curry powder has cumin but also some others, might give it a bit of a different taste but still within the chili wheelhouse
but they're listening to every word I say
Do the other half cinnamon, throw some mace in it, get wild and throw some allspice in it
or just add a little more paprika and chili powder
10/10 children, my only criteria tbh
Skin kitten
