Using generative AI to replace toil and not the creative human process is fine imo. Even doing something like generating visual things, to me, is OK if it's driven by real creative intent and doesn't result in something that looks low quality. But it's not very simple to get output that you can tweak in fine ways to get predictable changes based on specific creative intent - human language is not descriptive enough to really capture that. "A picture is worth a thousand words" is accurate. You're also shooting yourself in the foot when you end up with a ton of assets or systems that you don't have fine control over because you can't do something simple like tweak a layer of an image because what you got at the end of the day was just a raster output from a black box.

My partner and I quit watching these after I pointed out that they usually cover small town murders, and almost every time the crime is eventually solved, it's because the local police suck it up and finally ask for help from the state or FBI who actually know what they're doing. Similarly, the videos of cold cases that aren't yet solved rarely mention any involvement of more competent higher levels of police in the investigation.

If you're not planning to volunteer to drive political change, and you're not going to seriously plan to expatriate, then I suggest blocking the news and the other anxiety-inducing content. I have keyword filters in Boost to exclude lots of political stuff. I also pick the "do not recommend this" for google news posts that are political. Has done wonders for me. All my digital content is fun, hobby related, or general interest news from my area.

He brought an antipasto salad and everything too 💔

I've run across at least three separate articles now of researchers from across the world discovering plastic eating bacteria in the wild. Short plastic. Its days are numbered.

Unless you're a sociopath, like many CEOs.

Yep I walked out of the theater about halfway in

You're magnitudes more likely to lose an arm operating a lathe or cutting wood professionally than pushing paper in a camo outfit, which is what over half of US military personnel actually do all day.

Neither of these topics should even be drawing media attention, considering how frequent and non-notable they are. They just report on this stuff every day because it's cheaper and easier than exclusively finding and reporting on real notable local news, and television news needs filler content for selling ad spots. Ever had a day where there was no news, and they ended early?

Idk if this anatomy is accurate for terrestrial snails too, but to be fair for aquatic snails the turds float away immediately.

In India, this kind of thing is common, especially when the beggars are children.

Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.

These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.

don't understand what they've written

Well first of all, they didn't write it.

It is not expensive, assuming you don't mind giving someone else your microplastics. In fact, you can get paid about $100 to do it in most places. How? Apharesis is exactly what is performed when donating plasma.

Someone wearing a mask tries to kidnap you, draw your handgun and put a hole in their face. I'm surprised this exact situation hasn't landed in the supreme court yet. Pretty sure it won't be favorable to the masked goons.

Kroger diet cola. It's better than diet coke. Always fucking out of stock though around me.

At least with social media, you can choose what content to engage with or scroll past. A lot of TV news is fear mongering non-news entertainment. I don't care that someone got arrested after a high speed chase. I don't care about someone's dog charity. What your local Sinclair is peddling, let alone Fox, is just about getting you to come back over and over for the ads, and it's a continuous feed of trash someone else is deciding to put in your face and dub important.

Feeds also often let you mark content as "not interested" to better personalize for what you consider relevant and newsworthy. So, it's not necessarily a one-way street there either.

Try looking for crops to grow that are nutritious but relatively low maintenance. Sweet potatoes, sunchokes, groundcover strawberries, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, etc. Bonus if you can grow excess to sell at local farmers markets for some extra income, though the easiest the grow ones probably won't fetch a great price and on one acre I doubt you'll have extra of anything. Also, look for native options. Less maintenance, and local pollinators are more likely to help out.

If you're not squeamish and can get enough extra space with an enclosure, rabbits breed very quickly and just eat grass. Chickens are good for eggs and meat.
