I dont' know... there's a weird vibe with that dude. I loved him when I first saw him in Think Tank 15 years ago, but he just seems to take himself so seriously now, like he's desperate to be thought of as a serious "Actor" or something.

I just bought a ReMarkable Paper Pure tablet for note taking, but have discovered that it's really nice as an e-reader too. I think I'm limited to free e-pub sites like Project Gutenberg, but it's just really easy on the eyes and the battery life is crazy long. Also, I can just set it down and don't have to switch it off. I just finished Agatha Christie's "And then there were none" on it last night and I'm not a huge reader either, but it was just so much nicer to use than my phone. One of the reasons too is that I don't get endless notifications and other distractions while I'm using it.

I knew this annoying dude who would always confidently declare that Pocketpair were doomed and that Nintendo was just waiting for the perfect time to completely destroy them. I don't know why, but he seemed to almost look forward to that, it was weird.

It can feel like you're slowly fading out of existence. Almost like you're gradually becoming a ghost. No one cares that much about anything you have to say or anything you do because you're old. I'm lucky because I have a home that's mine and I'm surrounded by family and friends, but I'm starting to realise how hard it must be if you get old without those things. Like becoming invisible alone. Also, it's pretty obvious now that the end is coming at some point. When it does I hope it's quick. I hope I don't see it coming and that I don't end up being a burden on my loved ones.

You forget a thousand things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of 'em.

"the bug does not cause any significant usability issues" ...obvious clickbait is obvious. For funsies try googling "Linux bugs this month" 🤣

So many missteps. So many bad decisions. It would take a miracle for Dr Who to get back to where it once was. In the meantime we'll always have Matt Smith 🙂

You're right. I should have said "because that's unknowable in a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, big universe" but I thought "infinite" wouldn't take up as much (drumroll) space! 🤭

That's such an interesting point. I believe that historically any intelligence that was much higher than the norm has tended to be perceived as "Godlike". That means this misconception potentially applies to us today as well (he walked on water therefore he is God etc.) or that the "God" that people believe in today is somehow above relativistic misconception. Personally I lean towards the former.

"I'm intellgent, and I'm high."

No disrespect, but the irony of misspelling that word is chef's kiss 🤣

When my religious friends get a little too intense I tell em to go visit a terminal children's hospital ward. Don't give me any of that "works in mysterious ways" rubbish either. I'm not saying there isn't a higher intelligence than us somewhere, because that's unknowable in an infinite universe, but to then somehow pivot to thinking that intelligence would care about every little thing we do is beyond insane.

Oh my goodness, THIS, a million percent!! Also, you have to be ok with the event you plan being the reward in itself for you, because if you expect people to thank you... you're going to have a bad time. On top of that, you have to be ok with people expecting you to do it forever from that moment on. Basically, you're going to have to be quite emotionally and mentally robust to enjoy the experience 🤣
