With dad: mundane stuff, like the whether and such.

With mom: geopolitical, philosophical and historic analysis about current events… And mundane stuff too.

The thing is, my mom is an Historian with a PhD, while my dad worked for an oil company. Also, I hanged out with my mom more while growing up cuz dad had to work in others states for weeks, so I couldn’t see him much.

Regardless, I enjoy talking with both of them. Mostly cuz I don’t make much of it, I don’t try to be smart, clever or anything. I just speak my mind out with naturality, depending on how my relationship with the person I’m talking to is.

I haven’t seen the show in years. The last thing I remember are those nostalgic berries or whatever.

I just think it’s wrong to place more emphasis on that potentially traumatic episode in that man’s life than on what he is doing. As if the most important thing were that he was the guy Miyazaki told to his face that his work was an insult to humanity itself.

I’m afraid that we are in a point where reality is much worse and bizarre than anything Parker and Stone could imagine.

This is the most click-thirsty headline I’ve read this year so far. It isn’t clickbait cuz is not false, but it feels… wrong.

Now, this is genius in a very wicked way.

As it should be.

Blame the Dunning-Kruger effect. The people I have seen most likely to acknowledge their lack of knowledge in a certain area have been those who are very wise and well-versed in at least one field, such as science, History (like my mom), art, etc.

Mediocre people are mostly convinced that they know everything.

Me too! Nothing helped me think for myself more than my mother yelling at me, “I don’t know! The encyclopedia is right there! Go read it and let me cook, for God’s sake!”

I tend to think that people use AI (and yeah, search engines too) the way children use their parents:

“Mom, why is the sky blue?” “Mom, where is China?” “Mom, can you help me with this school project?” (The mother ends up doing everything).

The thing is, unlike a parent, AI is unable to tell users that it doesn’t know everything and that users should do things on their own. Because that would reduce the number of users.

I am not USian. I live in one of the countries that the United States recently bombed (figure which). I sincerely ask USians: Is what is in those papers really much worse than everything the administration is already doing and is going to do to you and all the world?

The Discord notification sound

That’s why I try, as much as possible, to share only the things I like and am passionate about. There’s already enough negativity in the world without me adding more.

Just to piss me off…

Believe it or not, a “Power Rangers” Clip.

I understand perfectly. I can read it, I can hear it, I can write it. The only thing I can’t do, even if my life depended on it, is speak it. But that’s the fault of English and its non-existent pronunciation rules. That shit is based entirely on ✨vibes✨.

Now I get why spelling bee is such a big deal in the US, jeez…

we’re no better than them.

The slave doesn’t want to be better than the slaver, they want to be free.

Regarding collectables-based challenges, in my experience, all collectables that don’t unlock content or aren’t some kind of upgrade are a waste of time.

I remember collecting all the figments in Psychonauts 1, how frustrating and time consuming it was and how it was near useless to the regression of the game. I love Psychonauts and I would like to play it again over and over, but I would not collect those pesky figments ever again.

That’s just the Dark Forest Hypothesis
