You heard the cookie.

If I try to play bullet, I could probably find out for you.

It could be a bit of both, but in general I recognized after a certain point that the only one affected by my stress level is me, not the thing in the news. I’d also credit having a career where you have to get really good at controlling what you let affect you.

He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).

People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.

Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.

Yeah, I still think the criticisms of Bush were valid, but I’m so much more cool-headed as a person now that the difference in my response feels incongruent. Political news doesn’t take an emotional toll on me like it used to, even though I objectively disagree with modern politicians more.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

Or

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

Seriously. I was at the right age to be much more politically intense back then and absolutely despised Bush.

Now, I almost feel bad about it after witnessing the last 20 years of politics.

It was for brevity and clarity. People are very familiar with hearing “OCD” used casually, but “NPD” would have sounded too specific and clinical compared to “narcissistic” as a character trait.

The joke is leaning more on the OCD/narcissistic characteristics of Patrick Bateman than the murdery part. Like, having a ridiculously tedious self-care routine due to vanity (or self-consciousness, take your pick).

But oh boy! the day they appear!

I will have forgotten the move order.

Go for it! I stole this anyway.

Yellowstone National Park

It’s real, but it went viral and they got a ton of backlash online for it a few years ago.

I may have to one of these days.

I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.

I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.

It’s so sad. I feel like we need to be hoarding all sorts of random media that was put out pre-AI, because it’s flooding everything. Videos, music, gaming, historical photos/videos…

Random example: I have a folder of desktop wallpapers that I’ve been casually adding to for the last decade or so. Literally thousands of them by this point, but I haven’t added anything recently because every source is inundated with AI generations now.

Good question. I assume that all of current falls under historic, but that could not be the case.

I need you to do the subtitles when I watch British shows.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium otters are my favorite.

There are a lot of long nature videos on youtube meant for this purpose - some with relaxing music, some without. I’ll occasionally play one on a TV when I know I’m going to be bouncing around the house all day, and it’s nice.

I don’t know of any actual livestreams like that, but some zoos have livestreams of their aquariums or exhibits that are cool too.
