I think the Jungian concept of the Puer Aeternus describes this very well.

On the other side, I notice that when I'm meeting up with friends, we sometimes get focused so much on the game, that we don't really talk anymore about things going on in our lives. Sometimes that's good, but if you are a person that finds it difficult to talk and focus on a game at the same time, it can be kinda frustrating.

I think the best option I've found is just volunteering in your neighbourhood and asking the people there if they go to any groups or want to do something together

Meetup used to be great, but seems to be enshittifying more with every passing day.

Are there good alternatives or other ways to find groups to join?

How would you even do this? Hilarious though.

For those that don't know, this is from 'The Sad Bastard Cookbook'. It actually contains some good simple recipes when you are feeling too bad to cook.

I feel the same about multiplayer games without gated progression and LAN server hosting. (Or local/splitscreen)

These days I can't even play a multiplayer game with friends somewhere with shitty internet. And because of progression you have to force yourself to only play together, but never with different people or by yourself because then you will get ahead.

Spammers would love this feature. they'll even pay for a subscription that makes your phone automatically pick up.

In the future, actual hacking will just involve social engineering corporate ai systems ( aka prompt hijacking )

Looks a bit like mangosteen. But mangosteen is black with white fruit.

Something in the same family?

I think there should be another (perhaps hidden) panel where the guy on the left just chugs the entire cauldron in front of the witch, maintaining eye-contact.

450mb? Does it contain a lot of pictures/videos?

Thanks for sharing

 

I'm currently using an old charger like this:

It's great. Easy to carry with me, uses a two-pin cable so I can easily buy a cheap 2 dollar cable in the country I'm traveling. It's light, and I use a few short (30cm) cables to charge my laptop, phone and other stuff.

I would like to get another one, but it seems like they are no longer sold from the original manufacturer.

I'm searching around online, but the only alternatives I find seem to be very bulky and not easily carried with you. Or they are wall chargers, which is very inconvenient, needing 4 long cables to reach your devices, and often taking up multiple plugs because they are so bulky.

Anybody that knows if these are still sold anywhere? This one is 65W, but with GaN tech, I expected to see more of these compact chargers with the same weight and thickness outputting maybe 100W. But I can't find anything

 

I've been thinking about how LLMs like ChatGPT change the expectation that at any time, anywhere, you will have the information you need at your fingertips.

It seems useful to cope with some difficulties in life at the beginning. (Similarly to having a smartphone with you at all times)

But over time it seems to increase anxiety because you feel dependent on these tools to be able to handle certain situations.

Every time I avoid using these tools but instead try to use a simple notebook or just think things through in my mind (When possible of course, definitely not when overwhelmed) . I feel like my capacity to do so slightly increases in future situations.

But when using these tools, even though it's easier and requires less effort in that moment, I feel more anxious in the future. (Especially when I don't have internet connection or my battery is running low)

Does anyone else have similar experiences?
