The beauty of human connection stems from the things that have and haven't been communicated. From appreciation, anticipation and taking action. From understanding the meaning of words and actions beyond the superficial.

From love, compassion and genuine care.

Clicked nine different sorts of FlavDrops because they were ridiculously cheap during a clearance sale.

Should last a while. 😅

Aiden's hairstyle is "party in the front, party in the back, and unbridled chaos on the sides."
I think my therapist called me a brainiac today. 😅

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours.

- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours)
- more intuitive for people who use electricity
- never the confusion between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' (which is technically megacalories)
- you get to feel more like a robot with your 2.5kwh power consumption a day which may feel like validation to some creatures on this fediverse
- become powered by cake

So...Ghost (as in the [CMS](https://ghost.org/) and the great band).

Could do as a personal blog (self-hosted of course)?
And what about working as multiple blog tenant (as in different users having different blogs on the same platform)?

Self hosters, assemble!

Would love to paint something like this, but I'd need to find someone who'd hang it first because I have no space left. Unfortunately this applies to all larger paintings, and I have a lot of ideas. So if there is an empty wall in your house, maybe hit me up.

When I was sick recently, I noted down a question I wanted to research later and then realised that it might be an interesting test case for an LLM search.

And sure enough, the answer to the exact same question went from "drug might be harmful" to "drug might be helpful" with just a small addition.

I can easily think of other examples like "Is my country doing poorly?" vs. "Is my country doing poorly because of foreigners?" changing the whole trajectory of the response that is then presented as *the* answer.

Obviously, classic search is prone to confirmation bias as well, but it kinda seems supercharged this way.

Checking out people's profiles be like ...

Pinned introduction: "Heeeey, I'm a florist who loves ice cream, roller skating and photography. I joined to find new friends and to have conversations about cozy games. 🫶"

Their posts: "What a well-known bullshitter just said is complete and utter bullshit!"

Their boosts: "I just listened to a podcast hosted by people I don't like, talking about people I don't like and they said a lot things I don't like! 🤮 THEY SHALL BURN IN HELL!!1"

😅

Takes quite a while in my current state, but that one's finished now, too. ✅
