I started college before covid, becoming a game programmer.

• Boom. NFTs and Blockchains
• Then Covid hit, eliminating many jobs and studios
• Finally, AI/LLMs hit, and the companies that survived want to do that now

I'm happy I got the degree and experience, I'm sad because now those jobs are gone, changed, or became near impossible to get into.

My issue is by the time I get around to doing it, my list has grown, so I knock out the new items first, then never get around to the outstanding items.

My kitchen and bathrooms are a wreck.

Bachelor's Degree. Not happy with the debt that came with it, and the lack of employment in the field since Covid and AI

The standalone wasn't a rumor, it was verified to exist (via copyright documents). That being said, I've held out on buying a standalone VR so I could get this one to upgrade from the Index

Out of excrement

I'm on the fence. I get a 1 hour lunch, already own a switch, but never use it. I know the deck has all my games already, I just cant with the current price.

I work in a family owned grocery store. Living inside or around the store right now is:

• Opossum
• Skunk
• Feral cat
• Mice

Im not ADHD diagnosed. My hobbies last 2 weeks. I have not held a hobby for more than a month or so. I too burn out, or it's just not interesting, or I just don't have the commitment to get good at it. I want to do many things, but they always feel like work, rather than fun.

The only thing that stuck is programming, so I went to school to get better at it, got better at it, but now can't find a job.

Yeah, headline confused me. I know Dwango as the holder of TasBot, not as a hacker

IIRC it is unlawful to jail conjoined twins if one commits a crime if the other twin was not involved. A loophole of American law.

You make a good point about killing for food. I'm against killing animals for food and would rather we switch to lab grown meat. It's not fair to the animals that were created plump and killed unnaturally for the sake of eating. If it's a survival situation, that's different, you do what you can to survive. However, modern society is beyond simple survival, we have the resources and means to eliminate animal meat.

But then it begs the question "what about plants? They're alive right?" Also "what about lab meat? Even though they're not a full animal, it's still living matter."

To both those arguments, I'd say, yes, it's still not fair to those lifeforms, however it is much more humane to kill lifeforms without a brain, and that only exist to reproduce. Animals have emotions that we can understand. Fear, joy, and content. They are intelligent. Plants and lab meat are not.
