You feel like sharing a bit on the background story or are you just on the hunt for a bit of dopamine? Letting it out may help.

And is it not good that it does not? Serves to show that creativity is a unique process to each individual. If it works, that is what it matters.

No hate anywhere. Writing by hand is a commited effort. The moment the ink sets, it’s there. No back space to hit and erase whatever you wrote because it doesn’t sound good. You can cross it out but when you go back to read what may have survived you remember what you rejected in the moment and that may actually be useful if tweaked or reviewed.

And writing by hand is useful. It actuates the body. Works it. Develops fine motor skills. It can even let out cues to mental states in how the hand writing comes out. And it is physical. It exists. It is not an ethereal string of bits that may cease to exist if an electrically charged storage medium fails.

If you want to write, just write.

Get some paper, a pen, sit your butt down and write.

Don’t use a computer. Not yet. Commit to writing what comes out. Keep the mistakes, the bad spelling, the weird phrasing, everything.

Just let it out.

Then get away. And I do mean away.

Throw it in the corner, maybe behind the cat litter or the dog food or perhaps near the toilet or stand your bed lamp on it.

Let it get cold. Maybe a week.

Then go back, read it and, now, you can you the computer or the cellphone to start cleaning up the thing and improving it.

I used Aurora for a while and noticed several applications were unavailble, returned download error or if installed would invoke a google account login to run.

Age restriction still applies and NewPipe can no longer circumvent it. Restricted videos get flagged as such and will not play.

The system will collapse on itself.

Either the super concentration of wealth triggers governments to enact heavy taxation on fortunes or the system simply gets reset by the large majority that will simply ignore what is considered valuable today in detriment of something else.

Regardless, how things go today is not a sustainable route

That does not sound bad.

I really want to see if the requirements for new games will go down or continue rising.

The machines are better at repeating a task with no down time but even then quality will degrade. That is why quality verification exists.

Hand made cars - or anything, by extension - are so expensive because of the human attention going into it. A specialized worker, technician, engineer, etc, makes sure their job is the best because they are specialists at what they do.

You’ll get there. Takes time to perfect a skill. Eventually, you’ll make the videos just like you want it to be.

And you have a bit of an exhibitionist in you as well? As long as no one gets uncomfortable, that’s fine, I figure.

And now that I think about it: you can get two dudes to be with you. One stays at the door, peeping, while you enjoy the other. Then they either switch or make it a team effort to leave you sated and exhausted.

I find it really hard for the average dude to say no to that request.

“Let’s do it again but this time we record it.”

Did your partner refuse?

p.s

Did the door swing open with a draft or did someone walk in on a very bad timming?

Taxes are the price of civilization.

Being cynical, if you do not want to take part of a modern society, remove yourself from it and live completely on your own. You will achieve complete authonomy and have full power over your resources. But you, individually, will be fully responsible for yourself and your needs.

There was a couple of failed experiments of fully libertarian towns and all failed miserably. I’ll update this reply if I can find some articles on it.

Now, for your concern with the infamous ballroom: there should be a proper addressing of the situation, with publicly accessible and auditable proposals for the alteration, renewal or expansion of a public building and people should be able to voice their concerns about such matters. Which is not the case at hand.

The waste and innapropriate use of public funds emerges from a system - and it exists everywhere! - that allows polititians to act unconcerned of immediate consequences of their actions. If people in public offices had the threat of ousting for failling to comply with their functions, in a hasty fashion, little abuse would happen. Instead, we get “representative” democracy with its election cycles.

The system itself is wrong, not taxation. Taxation accrues funds to develop services that hold a civilization functional that otherwise would be completely off limits for an individual to access.

Did you enjoy yourself?

I dislike the of minorities being in any way segregated, even if for positive reasons. There should not be that need.

By default, people deserve and need to be respected and accepted as they are, regardless of skin tone, language, creed, nationality.

We are humans.

Our diversity was what made us strong and resilient enough to take the challenges nature put in our collective way as a species. We thrived in adversity because we are diverse and that diversity made us adaptable.

People are just that: people. Shoe horning a person into something just to look right and proper is idiotic. If someone has the talent, knowledge and know-how to fill a role, they should fill it.

It’s trying to force an outcome instead of addressing the underlying issues.

Reading that became depressing really fast. One is supposed to be recognized by their talent, not through force of law and regulation.
