I have a good sense of direction and where I am. I rarely forget where I am. I moved a lot as a kid. Lived in in a bunch of different areas of Washington St.
The sun and shadows will tell you so much about where you are. I was in Virginia for a few years. It was such a diffirent place, I never forgot how foreign it felt. At night, knowing where to look for the stars you know is also helpful. Even knowing which ways the wind blows normally can help.
IMO your fears are justified but if you look at it in a big picture way, the world is getting better for most people every generation.
Sure we have lots of fucking stupid shit to deal with right now but its not like past generations didn’t have something similar.
I think what is happening right now is that the post WWII generation, that had it all in so many ways, are coming to grips with the fact that they are going to be dead soon. So you have these world leaders like Putin trying to reclaim the past with one foot in the grave.
Big companies always win, its just reality. But they also always become so big they fall apart on their own. Just look at the first companies, nobody in their day would have believed they would have died. The West Indian Company, Hudson’s Bay Company, even fucking KODAK!
Humans being less social is nothing new either. We just all connected for the first time really. Once that wore off we are going back to a normal, it will probably be an up and down for a while but we are living in a new age of connection, not everyone is really interested in that and many of us are slowly finding the right place and right time to interact with other people.
AI is a cruel joke. Automated and prediction are cool and shit but it will also move where the money and interests are. I don’t really care about it and I think it will be background noise in 10 years, with most people laughing about what we though it could do vs what it does.
Learn some more history, especially your own. We are nothing like the civilization of a hundred years ago. Just look at what the world was like right before WWI. Or go 50 years before that and look at what the US was like right before the Civil War.
your last point is hard to disagree with but as you get older you will probably come to understand that it is just the feeling of being young and finally understanding more of what the world actually is like.
Stay true to yourself. Look at the little things and remember that you don’t have to follow the trends to be happy. Happiness is difficult to achieve and is a fight to keep.
Remember to take time to deflate and consider what you have and what you want. Don’t let the things you cannot control overwhelm you. This last part is a constant battle for me personally.
the smashed paper cup is a nice touch
I never realized that Keith Richards is guitar on this album!
Diego Luna not getting nominated is criminal. Dude set the tone for the whole show with his characters behavior and disposition. Genevieve O’Reilly was also fantastic, its a shame they didn’t get nominated.
The Washington State Air National Guard has a strong cyber security team. Many of them are ISR people from the big name businesses here. It is all complex with lots of moving parts. Its a cat and mouse game and the cat has to be ready 100% and the mouse will always have the advantage.
the light parts are the wood, half of the shingles are worn off and the front part is missing chunks
this roof probably leaks everywhere, the attic and second floor probably look like the last scenes of BladeRunner
use a paper coverall and hairnet and paper mask so you can approach it and deface it before it can ID you. Then you can remove those items and nobody will be able to tell who it was.
make sure you cover your eyebrows with the hairnet, that is a big factor in face recognition
Seattle police and concerns, go hand in hand
maybe once in my life they will be celebrated for their valor but that sounds a little far fetched
I used to live in Belltown and one day this guy casually standing at the corner asked me if I wanted to buy some crack. Like WTF, I dressed as a punk most of the time so it caught me off guard. Dressing like a punk is usually armor and nobody wants to talk to you. I asked him what he meant and he showed me his little bags of crack. I just walked away and the next intersection was a cop sitting at a light. I pointed the guy out, who was still there, that he was trying to sell me crack.
FUCKING COP TOLD ME TO CALL 911 and then ran the red light.
Another time I was walking in Pike Market and it was a nice day and the street was empty except for two cops walking towards me. I said hello and they stopped and looked me up and down gave me a snear and then kept moving, without even saying a word. I mean like fuckin hell, I was just being friendly to you.
ACAB
adding FUCK
also removes the ai results
did you miss the roof?
I think much was based on one side believing in a democracy and respecting being on the loser side of an election cycle and being naive about the other side being so willing to lie cheat and steal the seats of power.
it’s probably broken fo the rest of our lives
all for fuckin Trump
i fucking hate this
mushroom chocolates 4tw!
i wouldn’t admit it either!
sorry mate, maybe if you know, keep it from rusting, it might be a novelty some day. you can drive it in a funny car parade or something
in my organization, the last few years has meant a lot of new hires that always worked from home andour staff grew beyond what we had. now we only have a couple hotel spaces at the office. our “ceo” is enforcing the policy that is on paper, from years ago.
it’s effective in October and already people are quitting or worrying about where they are going to sit. i have an office and probably don’t need to worry because of seniority but… what a cluster fuck
this is what I was remembering!
thank you
fuckin love me some hardcore in the morning
