Losing weight will only really help your self esteem (probably your health in general which can be appealing to others as well). You're putting yourself out there which is important, try not to make everything you do a search for a potential romance though lol.
25 is very young to think you'll never meet someone. Doctors and Lawyers can take a while to get to finish school so you're not exactly alone. If you're awkward at 25 it's not a big deal tbh, don't sweat being the only single guy in your friend group. I'm sure there's a few guys you know in committed relationships who may wish to trade places with you
I've done a couple NICU shifts, it's so hard to imagine those babies dying not cause someone made a mistake or they just couldn't make it, but cause we ran out of power... ugh it's a pit in my stomach
People do it now with stuff like Replika. Think of how they're treated. Perhaps in a society with lots of AI, embodied or not, people would care less. But it's definitely a little weird now especially with how limited AI is.
If some general human level is AI emerged like in Her, I'm sure people would fall in love with it. There's plenty of lonely people who are afraid or unable to meet people day to day. I think I'd see them with pity as they couldn't make do with human connection, at least until I understood how advanced and how much interiority this new AI had - then I'd probably be less judgemental.
My great grandfather died fighting the nazis in Normandy near Caen. If he had lived and captured some trophies like a nazi flag or whatever, I mean good for him I guess, he put his body on the line in the fight against the Nazis - but I don't think I'd accept them as inheritance and want them lol. I'd rather donate it to whatever museum or to a costume rental company so they have stuff to give out for productions of Sound of Music
If for some reason it was like Hitlers personal spork and I had to keep it, I definitely wouldn't display it or post it on reddit lmao
It's so funny that this generation of spooks just posts their shit online lol
Cold War Cia guys had some unhinged ideas like attempting to assassinate Castro with explosive cigars or whatever but they never just wrote up a bio in their local newspaper and posted bulletins about their job in the local coffee shop
They could no longer ship then to Russia so they just piled up in Paris. Don't worry, they're Parisienne bed bugs, they mostly smoke and drink coffee and take 2 hours to figure out where to bite you then give up and drink something depressing and go home
The stars actually aren't changing color (besides variables potentially but they don't change in seconds), they're changing cause the atmosphere is distorting as the light reaches your eye - one of the reasons we put observatories on like mountain tops and space is that there isn't as much atmosphere distorting the light (there's some newer observatories that can counter-distort their mirror to cancel out atmospheric scintillation).
You can see the milky way if you go somewhere with low light pollution! It's quite breathtaking. Also every star you see with your eyes is in the milky way. You can also see planets with your eyes, but I think that's just Venus (which is reflective enough to see) they look like stars but move day to day. You can see some supernovae when they happen, sometimes they're bright enough you can see then in daytime even. The movement of the stars over the year is highly predictable, even over centuries and milleniallia, some of the real old old structures like Stonehenge are aligned with the movement of the night sky. Because our planet rotates, the stars move, except (if you're in the northern hemisphere) for Polaris which only kinda wobbles over a year - it wasn't always Polaris, it had historically been other stars (were talking long long ago history not a lifetime lol), Polaris is in Ursa Minor in the night sky if you wanna find it 😀
If you keep a journal of the night sky you'll probably notice a lot of the same stuff our ancient ancestors did! We have the disadvantage of light pollution but the advantage of thousands of years of scientific advancement and written and oral knowledge.
I dunno how they're gonna go about that considering Russia could just veto that attempt to strip them lol and citing PRCs permanent security councils seat is just silly.
If it were up to me 17°C/63F, I can manage pretty good by blinds and windows open in the evening but I like to run the A/C an hour or two a day to help. In the winter, just leave the windows open to cool off its like -20°C out that's good enough to cool it to whatever feels good. I can't stand heat.
