What a badass! Thank you for the link I saved the OG tiff so I can get a high quality print.

Sorry it was a joke in poor taste - I was referring to consuming psychedelic mushrooms (Penis Envy being a very potent strain)

Depth psychological psychotherapy - oh you mean Penis Envy (or Golden Teacher if you lemontek)? Yeah I cried for an hour but then it was a blast.

Slept there in my RV one night. Gen and ac running full blast and was still sweating dead of night. Do not recommend.

Totally… Apple would never make new colors on their products for that reason, noooooo. A tale as old as marketing.

I think it’s a normal part of human nature that you experience all the time without corpo meddling. Have they exploited that urge for new? sure, just like they exploit every human emotion.

Like my beloved Nokia N900 and my current Pixel 6 had a bastard love child and I am all about it.

24 Hour fitness just needs to deliver Trump a golden dumbell and this would magically go away.

Very possible, I have not dug in on this, just a vibe.

I’m relatively new here, the only negative thing I notice is mods/creators reposting the same stuff every ~6-24 hours to make it ‘seem’ like there is more activity, which I think backfires more than not.

Gorgeous - wish I could build more than ~3’ with stone out here on the west coast.

When I was considering buying one I researched the health benefits and from what I could tell - there are none. Most studies/researchers seem to agree that sedentism is bad, either standing or sitting. Some ppl on zoom (back when I worked for a company) would have walking desks, probably better.

Holy mother of new knowledge - edit: COLLARDS TOO WTF

Hard pass on that reality. I agree with the vibe of what you are saying, just def not the truth of it.

Looking at it as birthing your own companion, totally. But if you were birthing a companion you’d have to raise it, train it, educate it, feed it, clothe it, form a relationship with it, then convice (or manipulate it) to love you.

I see AI companions as even more pathetic (and a lot less gross), honestly. Their masters want all the benefits of an actual human relationship without doing any of the work it demands. They want an echo machine that reaffirms they are valid and wanted, even though they are not. Everyone does not deserve to be loved. Everyone does not deserve to be wanted. These are things you earn and you will never be able to do with a corpo-trained techno-parrot.

Color me jealous brother!

32 years in america’s wang and I had to bounce. Still enjoy my visits though, gorgeous. Edit: it’s not FL, whoops, time for a coffee.

I want to try it out… but the smell test is off: Land on the github and it proudly proclaims the author is not doing this for money, only to help the community! Awesome right? Scroll down a little more to project history… and the first version he created and got bored with and sold. Ok… well let’s click on the website link to actually see what this looks like before cloning and installing… and the first thing I am hit with is join a premium subscription.

I’m not against making money, we all have to - but please don’t act like it’s “not about the money” and then make it about the money.

This is the way. When I had the same dream I took my RV to a remote, rural spot that was in my top 3 for purchasing land in (south of Mossyrock, WA), rented a hipcamp (airbnb for rvs) for 2 months… Views were gorgeous, land was gorgeous and plentiful, people were insanely nice… but man, driving 45 min to wally world (the closest large grocer) sucked ass. The closest gas station being a ~15min drive sucked ass. It was a real eye opener.
