So the goal is to become a Disney villain now?

I once read that people judge others by their actions and themselves by their intentions. I think about that a lot.

Maybe it’s my age (its definitely my age) but although I used to think Neuschwanstein was magical, now I just think of all the steps you must have to climb to get to anywhere in there.

Done :)

Fed up people are struggling to walk, slipping and bumping into each other in a gloomy, wet, grey, smokey, dreary, sunless, muddy street in November in Dickensian London. Everything is caked in filth. Then someone swallowed a Thesaurus, ate a couple of mushrooms and tried to describe the scene.

I was having an argument on Discord a few months ago with someone who always turns every conversation into a heated political debate. I knew they were about to do it again and that it would take hours to extract myself from the conversation. I popped open ChatGPT, pasted all their words in and asked it to argue (politely) for me. To this day it’s one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever done. They kept getting madder and madder and more frustrated. Unfortunately another person in the chat spotted what I was doing and outed me but it was so much fun while it lasted lol. I also noticed the shouty political one stopped bullying everyone in the chat after that. I guess because they thought it might happen again. Fun times :)

It took me a while to fully realise the implications of marriage. At first I thought it was about commitment and love etc. but legally you are literally taking two people and turning them into one. One, glued together, single being that can own things jointly (like a house for example).

In the eyes of the law you become one being that can do things like have a joint bank account. It’s both really handy, but also a massive risk if things go south. It has some huge implications that not everyone realises too. For example, here in the UK (might be the same elsewhere but I’m not sure) you can own a house jointly BUT if one of you becomes legally incapacitated (like having a serious stroke or something) and needs state care the state will drain YOUR assets to pay for your care costs until you only have about £15k left! (last I checked. It might be more now).

That includes FORCING you to sell your house to pay for care costs! To avoid that you literally have to change your ownership status to something called “Tenants in Common” because then you both own 50% of the house and the state can’t sell half a house so that protects you. They’re aggressive about it too so if you switch to Tenants in Common straight after the incapacitating event, they can claim “deliberate deprivation” and revert you back to joint owners.

That’s just one example of the minefield you need to be aware of. The good stuff is definitely financial though. Everything is suddenly half price for example because people tend to share 50/50 in all the costs. That’s really helpful! :)

Feels like we’re closing in on a time when remaking something like Toy Story, or any animation, would be as simple as writing a prompt. “Remake Toy Story but it turns out Slinky Dog is an evil mastermind who engineered Woody’s fall from grace”.

Wow… I had a look too and you’re absolutely right, it’s just lots of workplace drama isn’t it. You’ve reminded me it’s often good to check someone’s posting history before responding to posts like these.

I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us “it’s going to be zero day heaven!” they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

I remember it so clearly man… The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn’t listen. They don’t ever listen.

I’ll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.

I remember when the came out. Everyone was amazed! lol

Thank you. Just posted there as well :)
