Yeah, I hate Ticketmaster too. I’m just saying while you lobby for them to be broken up as an illegal monopoly, support your local music scene.
No, from the transcript it looks like they’re talking about mid-sized venues (they give an example of a 400-person venue), I’m talking smaller than that.
Support your local music scene! I mean like bars, cafes, clubs, outdoors, even restaurants can have local or regional groups playing in all kinds of styles and they’re often pretty good. You can be feet away from the band and talk to them afterwards if you want, and the cost is minimal.
I kind of understand the objection, though. It’s a short step from “it isn’t manly to be enraged” to “just pull yourself up from your bootstraps.” I don’t think that’s what Marcus Aurelius was saying, but I can see how someone might read it that way.
There’s a community in which people post examples of an AI image generator messing things up. I think that’s what they mean by “ai-images failing”. I think they’re saying: “you may think that by posting to such a community you are being critical of AI generators, but in fact you’re still filling your head with AI noise.”

Do they even make baseball gloves for AI hands?

I’m not sure I remember correctly, wasn’t that artist very pro-Reddit during the API protest?
Apparently this is a monument to the Inca nobleman Cahuide
…an Inca nobleman and warrior of the 16th century (1536) in Cuzco, Peru, who participated in the battle of Sacsayhuamán, led by Manco Inca. In one of his battles when the castle he was defending fell into the hands of Conquistador, he jumped from the top of one of the three towers of Sacsayhuamán, called Muyuq Marka, so as not to surrender to his enemies.

Reportedly the sculpture is by three brothers: Luis Alberto Yanqui Yucra, Raúl Oswaldo Yanqui Yucra, and Rodolfo Edwin Yanqui Yucra, and it was made fairly recently (source in Spanish).
The name of the sculpture is “Cahuide against the Spaniard”. Here’s a picture of the sculptors with the statue:
I do love philosophical discussion. It’s a major passion.
Most community colleges have a couple good Intro to Philosophy classes you might be interested in.

Something about your plans was very appealing to you. What about them gave you a sense of identity? Why those plans specifically? Try to figure that out: be very specific, write it down even, and discuss it with people. Once you figure out the driving force behind your plans, use that to guide you.
Even for the gov and business they usually don’t work out, but they realize that “plans are useless, but planning is essential.”

Oh wait, was I supposed to leave it slanted?
I’m sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable writing a reply to this comment because the only possible intelligent replies involve profanity or hate speech. Would you prefer a nice cookie recipe instead?
