most true crime starts with how nice and friendly the victim was. what are the odds that this is always, always the case? not really likely, imho i understand why this is done and i don't advocate for any change, but i do wonder if people watching the vids would empathize less with a less "perfect" victim. would it make, say, the murder less tragic if the victim is delinquent? it probably goes…
the secret is to do something as soon as you get a spark of inspiration. i have been ruminating over how to promote my business online for a year or so, i've got so many great ideas but the problem is that i do not actually do anything. i need to stop talking about plans and start doing things that are fun. it's not that hard, honestly. ps. going to the gym today, kicking myself to the gym before…
i am looking forward to it. i used to avoid buying nice food, because it felt wasteful - food ends after consumption (obviously), and i tried to stick to more "sensible" investments. after having been working through my fear of death for a while, it is easier to enjoy ephemeral people things.
i am hastily joining the blaughust challenge and will be trying to post daily. i've read of these challenges before, but never joined one! thank you bluebottle for mentioning it in your post! this is how i found the challenge :) day 1 of 22 remaining august days! i am delegating daunting things that i do not want to do to claude (like finding fresh job ads by keywords, god such a slop fest out…
english feels simple and comfortable, i have to translate some phrases in my head before speaking out. it feels so weird! i am spending a lot of time with my russian-speaking friend this week, and i found myself slow in expressing some things. it feels... bizzare. not negative or positive, just bizzare. i guess since i never really speak russian for prolonged periods of time anymore, it makes…
propaganda is not just about politics, it is about control i do not buy this narrative that the job competition is awful, we are all doomed, AI will take all our jobs, IT is dying. the layoffs happen because of the financial crisis (which is not ok to mention out loud, because then the company's share prices will go down), not because of AI (imho). this is psychological warfare on people that is…
here are some websites/apps i dislike and do not use: website reason instead wikipedia biased, citations missing frequently, relying on bias data, politicized dictionaries, research papers, trusted journalists gmail ads in my inbox, zero security, ugly design, mega corp, had an incident with my google photo library where i got the message that my photo contains something illegal (used google…
sharing cool food things, maybe you could try them, too! caffeine free coffee . i love drinking coffee, but i hear too much caffeine is bad for the heart or something, so i am drinking caffeine free coffee! it is really delicious, scratches the itch of having a cup of coffee and has no downsides (that i know of) (credit: shankar gallery Richard Lazzara ) low acidity foods my dentist has told me…
hi! i have taken a vacation, and i must say, it was needed. i was being sucked into a quicksands of a depressive state, which is now manageable. for whatever reason, i feel the urge to stop posting and delete my blog. it is not exciting anymore. i've always been fascinated by the question of how the excitement dies off in a relationship and have come to the conclusion that a lack of excitement is…
for me, summer is the time for death. when i was a kid, i had no school in the summer, no fun new classes, no new tv series starting up, and parents would try to send me away somewhere so that i would enjoy the sea. the sea i liked, the heat i dispised. i hate how hot it is, i hate being aware of the sweat on the people's legs, i hate that you cannot get AC's in europe and people's houses are…
