Nice. Which one? He really does a lot of justice to his topics so I’m glad you like it :)

The ATT framework was seen as an obstacle to targeted advertising to Apple device users, a major source of funding for application publishers and other online advertising players.

Um. Ok.

“Woops! Well, just reapply via this new DOGE chatbot! It rejects applications with a 100% success rate!”

I’m not blindly dissing RCs or AI, but his use of it (as the post was about people with problematic uses of this tech I just gave an example). He can’t handle RCs historically, he slowly loses it and starts to use daily. We don’t live in the same country anymore and were never super close so I can’t say exactly what his circumstances are right now.

I think many psychadelics at the right time in life and the right person can produce lifelasting insight, even through problematic use. But he literally went to rehab because he had problems due to his use. He isn’t dealing with something, that’s for sure. He doesn’t admit it is a problem either which bugs me. It is one thing to give up and decide to just go wild, another to do it while pretending one is in control…

The world war 2 japan one was so good, I can’t get the same itch scratched from most others tho… But it was really, really good.

I don’t listen to many podcasts these days but right now I am listening start to finish to The Chinese Revolution Podcast (it is about the Chinese revolution if that wasn’t clear). The production is not great and there is sometimes bg music which I hate because it makes me tired, but the content is really good with complementary maps on substack etc.

My favorites over time have been:

• Martyr Made. Very in depth history. We are talking 10 episodes of 5 hours each in some cases. My favorite one was about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the history of the region.

• Behind The Bastards. I do not like this pod anymore, it turned into a series of bad jokes imo. The first 150 or so episodes are grwat though. Some of the most interesting and bizarre bastards from history are covered and it is a lot of fun as well as informative.

• Darknet Diaries. Interesting stories from tech, but no need for in depth technical knowledge to listen.

• Hardcore History. Like Martyr Made but with focus on different things.

Honorary mention to Drunk Tank. RIP. Was my favorite podcast before it became super well produced and boring and everyone had a thousand scandals and shit… The early episodes were a lot of fun at the time, idk if they hold up tho.

Edit: I forgot this one which I actually listen to regularly because I watch the show on YouTube, but it is technically a podcast and the only podcast I still regularly listen to:

• A Bit Fruity with Matt Bernstein. Honestly amazing, they talk about problemativ people, movements or politics from a pop culture perspective. Anything from stay at home influencers to taylor swift stans to elon musk really. It’s really good tho. I don’t agree with every thing tvey say but the general analysis and overvies is always amazing.

Another one is:

• Tor’s Cabinet Of Curiousities. Odd stories, about anything. As long as it is an odd story it gets an episode. Extremely prolific dude, makes like two videos a week. You can listen like a podcast no problem basically 0 editing anyways.

Since we share 2 out of 4 favorites I have to check out the design one! A book I really enjoyed at the time was The Design Of Everyday Things. It really opened my eyes to the level of attention to detail put on almost everything around us.

Yeah. I tried talking to him about his AI use but I realized there was no point. He also mentioned he had tried RCs again and I was like alright you know you can’t handle that but fine… I know from experience you can’t convince addicts they are addicted to anything. People need to realize that themselves.

I knew a guy I went to rehab with. Talked to him a while back and he invited me to his discord server. It was him, and like three self trained LLMs and a bunch of inactive people who he had invited like me. He would hold conversations with the LLMs like they had anything interesting or human to say, which they didn’t. Honestly a very disgusting image, I left because I figured he was on the shit again and had lost it and didn’t want to get dragged into anything.

Social media as a concept is not evil or whatever, but a platform with millions and millions of users under corporate control puts a lot of power and influence in the hands of a very small elite. This is the problem. Not the technology itself. With regulation or decentralisation the problem can be fixed. Imo.

without electronics

What, you mean like, mechanical? (Imma read the article now but this sounded funny to me…)

So my biggest tip, if you want to start out exercising make sure you have a clear goal. For me the goal is to feel good in my limbs and body, so I don’t have pains and aches and have more energy. For others it is looks or muscles or mental health or whatever.

If you know why you are doing something it is a lot easier to do. I think focus often ends up on the visible aspects like looking better or losing a little weigth but these goals will take a lot more commitment than just feeling good by exercising, so make sure you know what the goal is and that you are realistic about it.

For doing at home, you could start with easy yoga and some weights and a RUBBER BAND. Rubber bands are fucking awesome for at home exercise. Put it under your foot, around a doorknob… Whatever. Short jogs are underrated. Five minutes around the block is a good warmup.

Jog five minutes, do a yoga set 20-30 minutes (find on youtube for example, eventually design your own), then rubber band exercises for ten or so and done. That is a good exercise you can do at home in many different ways.

That’s true, there is some really cool stuff that isbrarely mentioned.

Zoroastrianism would be cool. Basically the answer is anything not europe or specifically egypt but I always felt that for example a hindu god killer game would be fkn sick. Like either GoW format or Diablo-like.

Translation: I have written a post about my thoughts online. I was told to seek therapy, but I don’t have enough money to pay for one. What now?

Tis a joke.

Maybe you are odd to us! I think many neurotypicals are odd, but not because they are neurotypical specifically.

People are different and it is generally a bad idea to assume it is because of some diagnostic they got or not.

I think the more you get to know most people they seem stranger and stranger, especially as you grow up and start to understand the reasons people value what they value and just how different everyone is.
