About 20 and growing. I also do it for my mental health. Social media isn't a place I want to take too seriously so my blocks are about avoiding people who seem agitated or seeking to create or participate in conflict with other members.
I'm thinking about clearing out my blocks every year just to get a sense of the land again, maybe when I'm feeling better I'll do that.
140 in 2 months sounds like a lot to me. Are you not blocking communities? That might be more efficient?
I tried to watch part 1 again tonight and I'm putting it down with about an hour left. 4k on a theatre screen with headphones and popcorn and I laughed out loud when Jessica and Paul were whispering to each other 20' away in the mist, when the gang strode off the ship accompanied by bagpipes ("shields up!") and that one time the Sardukar shouted "Sardukar" during the invasion. I'm done trying to understand what some people see in these movies. Absolute garbage as far as I can tell.
Same here but I remind myself that multiple things can be true at once just like I can feel multiple conflicting emotions or hold conflicting thoughts or opinions.
Not really I'm more just presenting an alternate explanation. Don't mistake me for holding strongly to this opinion, but I do feel like calling OP out as a narcissist or whatever is an unfair snap judgment. People can be different and that doesn't make them bad most of the time.
Not true. If you go through life being expected to act a certain way all the time that eventually takes a toll. OP is doing right by himself the same way everyone else does when they share things expecting they'll get a narrow and specific reaction from people. If you want to throw around the n word that's as good a place as any.
I think I'm a bit like you since I do that too. Everyone (even at work) knows that I don't want to see baby pictures and I'm not excited about a baby. I don't think much about having kids but parents usually really really love their kids immediately, even before they are born, and if they are close friend or family then I am ok vibing with that for their sake.
The only time I've actually felt positively about it is when my best friend told me they were having a baby. It took me a moment but I thought then felt that I was able to be happy because he was happy and his partner (who I also like) is happy, and then it took me a few days of thinking about it that part of me was also picking up on this excitement because I wonder what my best friends kid will be like. And it's only because I care about him and his life a lot. I'm not close to my sister and have never felt those feelings before about babies/parents.
I was thinking that every app would have deeper settings embedded (which seems worse) but I guess the idea here is to bake settings into the OS so only AI can access them. Would this allow for a lot more settings or a lot more nuanced settings?
Gut reaction to AI in 2024 is very bad but I guess a part of me is still curious what they are thinking of doing here.
This is also interesting because like it or not these companies already have a ton of knowledge about you and how you use your device and this may be a way for that data to be served to us in a useful way. I'd prefer they didn't have the data in the first place.
Don't forget to try sorting by comments instead of posts! I often forgot that button exists.
