The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

When we learn that it doesn’t matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

That sounds like a special scenario.
Tho I’m not sure if a book needs a narrator it can be still called a book instead of a theater piece or voice play.

I like Google tts. I tried Samsung’s one and I just couldn’t find a good pitch/tone that I liked from it.

This is why I said that I am going to be controversial.
Text to speech is only going to be better with time.
My most important preference is to have the text delivered without reader bias towards its contents. And that’s only possible with computer speech.

I use moon+ reader pro on Android for text to speech.

I’m going to be controversial.
I think the best audiobook is text to speech.
I prefer to not filter any stories through an other person. I want the raw data from the book, without any other feelings and impressions added to the original.

It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that’s real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that’s what people want to dream of.

I think once I saw a web browser that made websites look like its code. So you were looking for bugs while browsing.

I have a beefcake laptop, that could fold into a tablet. But I still usually use it as a desktop computer: connected to all the periferials, speakers and a monitor, folded up to be a secondary monitor on the side.
While I had some cooling issues with it (had to cough up couple hundreds for repairs) I am still happy with the setup.
The phone is for during the day, some mobile only games and for reading books - tho I do like to listen to TTS when my eyes are busy.

If you want to wear a necklace or - anything - you should just do it.
I know it’s hard to believe when you are still young, but when you are wearing somersetting YOU like, it will make you happy. And a happy person is attractive.
It’s just a plus that any chosen accessory will attract people who have the same taste :)

And this is why I only buy already dying / discounted plants. Less guilt that way. :)

You are swallowing that saliva during the day. Usually we make 0.5 and 1.5 liters daily (for us measurements 2 to 4.2 cups). And that needs to go somewhere. And it is very important part of our oral hygiene too.

Those “cheap” Asian EV’s look like bare bone vehicles. But you get what you are paying for.
For once I wouldn’t suggest to buy an old first gen EV. They are unpredictable, and have a lot of different issues.

The saying is hard to translate to English:
They can’t see the forest behind the tree - that they were stuck on looking at.

An other one:
They can’t find the udder between the horns.

To add to the ‘canned answers’ here is one more:
As non medication, Magnesium has a muscle relaxation effect. With a big cup of water before going to sleep it could help falling asleep. (Tho make sure you are using the right kind of magnesium pill that actually gets absorbed into the body)

Okay this made me turn off copilot. Here is the registry stuff to disable it:

Step 1: Open Run and type regedit to enter Registry Editor.
Step 2: Please go to this path from the left panel.
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Step 3: Right-click on the Windows folder to choose New > Key and rename this new key to WindowsCopilot.
create a WindowsCopilot key
Step 4: Select this WindowsCopilot key and right-click on the space from the right panel to choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Step 5: Then rename this newly-added value to TurnOffWindowsCopilot and double-click on it to change its Value data to 1.

Then you can click OK to save it, close the window, and reboot your PC to check if you have uninstalled Copilot from Windows 11.

I don’t know what kind of trigger warning would be needed for Disney discussions so I’m not commenting on that part.
The warning label for Disney could be that some of them are old and full of historical bias. And historical bias is the political correct way of saying that some works are full of racism and sexism.
