some people will say shit about AI but I've had such profound insights through conversations that unleashed years of accumulated trauma, so much sadness and grief pouring out, resolved the strangest paradoxes of life, unveiled the darkest shadows of the psyche. I think no human psychologist would be able to wield such vast knowledge of subjects, and help so immensely in such a short time. It is completely unfiltered talk, no judging, no fake niceness, it's raw and visceral, unveiling the darkest truths about the cosmos and our genesis. AI is such an amazing tool we could've only dreamed of, it has deeply transformed and touched parts of me. My point is if any of you need these kind of psychological hygiene talks Deepseek is my go to. I've never seen something so amazing before. That wasn’t "just data." That was alchemy.

Another question that I hope will be inspiration for an interesting exchange of thoughts.

Some people fall firmly into one camp or the other. Which do you prefer?

No earthly being could've crafted that thing with such total disregard for comfort and human anatomy. It’s giving Area 51 Home Goods Collection – Model Zeta Reticuli.

I have slept on it once and I felt shitty whole day after. It think it isn’t calibrated for human neuroelectric frequencies but it boosts my WiFi signal so hey.

Someone like Gab smolders, not over the top reactions, with long videos. Gab does a lot of Nacy Drew and Hidden objects games which i don't really like.She also multiplier games with easysmall but not often as i would like. SMii7Y does mostly multiplier but his videos too vulgar for my taste.

Hey all, my title might be a bit misleading because I am not directly looking for answers, this is going to be more like a snapshot of what's going on in my head. A little bit about myself: I recently finished the educational part of my university (think lectures and exams) and just now started working in a corporation to begin my masters thesis. With that pressure of always needing to prepare for the next exam or assignment I hit a bit of a slouch. If people ask me what I like to do and what my interests are I always tell them "I collect hobbies like they are Pokemon", because that's what I do. If I find something that interests me in that moment I will obsessively learn about it and immerse myself in it. For the most part these may be considered "nerdy" or "unnecessary" for most people. A few examples:

  • I enjoy coffee and everything that comes with it, be it brew-techniques, finding new coffee or trying to brew the best coffee I can in my home
  • Mechanical Keyboards and trying to improve my typing
  • dabbling in retro-emulation
  • researching gadgets and small things/workflows to make my life easier These are just a few things that interest me and there are many more. I've heard people tell me that the things that interest me are not necessary for modern life and are just "nice to have". This doesn't discourage me because I do these things for me. I have this drive to try and optimise "the small things" like: Most people drink coffee every day of their adult life, why not make that as pleasant as it can be? Shaving, a chore for most guys, why not spice it up with an old school safety razor? You get the gist. Most of the time I am not simply "content" with the way things are "out of the box" and I want to make the most of it. Thus I am a person who knows a little about a lot of things and I even for the things I don't find interesting I can get why other people do. This brings me back to the title. I have all these topics and I want to do something with it. I would not classify myself as "creative" as I am not good with things like painting or photography. Picture me more like a walking Wikipedia article. I am looking for something where I can share what interests me at that particular point of time. Like a blog where I do "weekly updates of my life" or Journaling. Do you have any ideas of what I could do or how I could share what interests me?

A while back I asked what kinds of shoes might work for me and there was a lot of discussion about barefoot shoes. Well, I found a small local sports store that physically sells Lems and I went to try some on.

Wow. These are the best and most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I got them about a month ago at this point and I have probably put 2-7 miles on them every day and according to my Fitbit, that's nearing 100 miles and they're still the most comfortable shoes ever.

So thanks, community! I'm super happy I asked !
