A very happy one :3

Eaaasy, buddy. No matter what did you do, next to normal consequences your driving license goes buh-buy for a year. Hit someone's car? Fine + License buhbye for a year. Hit a lamp post? Same. Hit a kid? Jail for manslaughter or whatever it's called...plus licence buhbuye for a year. If they also take your license, then that also qualifies.

Speeding ticket? Guess what. Fine plus license buhbye.

No buy backs, no slippin, fuck your status. Can't drive? Ride public. Can't afford to be so poor? Pay someone to drive you. If they hit something tho, you better start walkin'. xD

App I use can actually alternate tasks. Up to forcing you to move your ass and use camera to scan barcode on something xD "I can't wake up", aptly named...

Move to the topic. Don't waste time on fake pleasantries. Shit's fake as shit, to the point there is standarised response.

If I know you, don't hit me with it. If I don't know you, I don't want to answer..

1. if image is generated, it ain't a photo
2. People abuse AI. Fakeness was a problem already before, now it becomes norm.
3. Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, I get someone trying to deepthroat me with LLM. I have quite honestly enough and I am opposing it both out of pettines and to - together with other folk - force it to calm down.
4. ...and lastly, what do I care about someones inane ramblings towards pixel generator? There's nothing original in it, there's no soul, there's no feelings and no personal touches. Fuck that.

Overall tho, I am not even that much against AI as it is now. What pisses me off is overeliance on it coupled with it worsening already shitty dead internet. People are growing dumber, authenticity dies in some forgotten corner of the net, real life relations that bunch of years ago sprouted over the internet today would have no chance. And all that for glorified, glazing statistics machine.

Eeeh, first one may not be that removed from actual risk. If we assume 1/10 of population is perverted, then cutting out hetero folks from perving on opposite sex is cutting that 1/10 to 1/100. So the chance some perv will actually go for it is lower. And this is a bigger issue for women than men, so makes sense to be watching out for that.

In USA that is, in EU we have full size stall doors and walls :|

Unattentive Cocoa?

Funnily enough McD of all places tries to go quality route, at least where I live. Upped standards, renovated places, improved services and it...works. Their places are occupied. Like it's still fast, quality wise it's okay, price wise it's okay. So they survived xD

But my world will. I am the lynchpin, the stable backbone, that holds it together and makes it function, I’m not good at it, i suck at it, but that’s the best i can do.

Though don’t get me wrong, it’s not that grim.

It does sound like it. You ok, friend?

But we do owe shit to someone, to the people we live with or even if just for our future selves.

Break the self imposed chains, mate. Kids an partner do limit it, but you absolutely can take a day of - just keep in mind to keep it consensual with your partner and be ready to return the favor in the future. Hell, I see in most advice given by parents to other parents to do exactly that to avoid going crazy.

But all in all, I am going to be blunt. You sound like someone who is constantly on the lookout for reasons not to live your life. You are not a cog in the machine, you are not essential to the world turning, one day off won't make the whole fall apart. Live your life. Be human.

There is no such concept in today's society as a truly free time.

You can absolutely have free time. You don't owe shit to anyone 24/7. Taking a break - and that counts hygiene, cleaning etc. too - for one day is absolutely alright. Drop the phone, do whatever you want, be it watching YT for 16 hours straight, goin the fuck out to hit the pubs or frolicking in the grass.

We, sadly, are not able to live like that day to day. But we absolutely can eke out such time for ourselves. If that's what we want to do.

Small note - "sadly not able to live like that day to day" does not include dropping hygiene fully. You owe it to yourself if not anyone else. :|

I'm using Boost too and just toggled higher resolution on comic. :| Worked well.
