@ODEONCinemas I have waited over a month for a response to my request to cancel my membership. Since then you cave taken money from my account twice. Please resolve this asap.

@vinted am constantly getting my support chat in app closed by what I can only assume is AI and not a person. Either that or your support staff refuse to actually read the messages I am sending and look at the screenshots, instead of sending my the same canned response repeatedly

I just watched a great compilation of various people's views about what is coming:

If AI solves all problems, what will give us meaning?

[Violet Ray @violet___ray]

@bryan_johnson And it can also be alcohol/drug/junk food free.

@Grimezsz Me, too. I’ve found it fun thinking about different stats, and how I can improve them to increase my HP. His videos have been more motivating than me downloading a health tracking app. I’d only use something like that if it was less effort, like a health tracking implant etc

[Aryan Trivedi @AryanTrivedi_7]

LMAO

[Violet Ray @violet___ray]

I feel these sentiments are why #DavidLynch’s work always resonated w/ me:

1. There is no such thing as innate meaning
2. Existence is inherently strange - never lose sight of the absurdity of life
3. Beauty can be found in the darkest of places - seek to reconcile dark & light

“Don’t fight the darkness. Don’t even worry about the darkness. Turn on the light and the darkness goes. Turn up that light of pure consciousness: Negativity goes.” #DavidLynch

The most important muscle to exercise daily: do what you don’t feel like doing.

[Defender @DefenderOfBasic]

has anyone written about the phenomenon where autists go from really bad socializing to being way better than the average normie once they realize the game has rules that you can debug & create new rules?

[Violet Ray @violet___ray]

I miss the old days of the web, however I’m kinda excited to know what comes next — whether the escape continues to be entirely analogue, or we move towards a different sort of network/technology.

We need to live longer in order to tackle humanity’s/this planet’s toughest issues.

This is a quick six minute video on my daily health routines. How I've tried to systematize life systems and habits.

@Liv_Boeree @PalmsBurnt Although here in the UK we just called it… “a video player”. 🙃

I have a CRT TV with inbuilt video player, and a collection of VHS tapes. I can confirm the satisfaction you get from the clunkiness of putting in the tape never diminishes.

Late Period Turner when everyone thought he was crazy and had lost it.
His best work!
