@nostalgebraist This has been the most impressive part of fable for me hands down and it has surprised me not to see anyone else say it. No recent model has been this at ease. 3.5 had it maybe?
(after three beers) Do you guys ever feel sorta.. empty? Like you're housing a malevolent entity as a passenger in your body but have no identity or will of your own
Friend 1: you're probably just a husk man
Friend 2: vessel alert
People need to STOP with the travel obsession. The founding myth of millennials especially. That the peak of life is traveling. Like the whole point of life is going to Europe or Japan for 2 weeks. Then they go into debt to hit the most astroturfed tourist traps imaginable.
Traveling will not fix you. Herding your way through 8 different tourist zones, and eating at the same tourist restaurants is not that great. And I know you think that google and ChatGPT told you about secret places that are where the locals go, but they did not. They scraped that off a travel blog, and you are just going to another flavor of tourist trap.
I am not saying you shouldn't go to Rome, Athens, Paris, London, Tokyo, Sydney, or wherever. I am saying that you don't need to do it right this minute, before you have kids or whatever. You should do that stuff when you can easily afford it, and with your family.
I can guarantee you will have a lot more fun at a drivable lake resort for a week with a bunch of people you love, eating hamburgers doing hokey resort stuff, than you will traipsing through Paris, getting ripped off to look at the Eiffel Tower.
so my best friend sent me this song that Tyra Banks made herself for a dystopian young adult book she wrote over a decade ago and i'm being so serious i think she officially made the worst song of all time
@TheStalwart People wanted to drink the iBeer app instead of dating… the links people are drawing aren’t representative of how phones were at the time, because they’re describing their current relationship to phone
@TheStalwart The harnesses and connectors have been super essential for knowledge work especially. But adoption has been driven by way better grounding and trustworthiness of the raw outputs
