In whatโs probably some kind of analogy for life I only just realised Iโd spent all my time making all the other Pokemon happy in #Pokopia to realise that my own comfort/environment level matters too ๐
As part of our new temporary life of virtue and fitness, we did a 15km walk around Sugarloaf Reservoir. Surely that merits a beer, @jbau.bsky.social and @heydaaaavey.bsky.social?
Now more than ever Iโm convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

While these NERDS in the park โexerciseโ for their โhealth and wellbeingโ and โhuman connectionโ and โcommunityโ I own 6 leaf huts, a leaf house and a pink hut generating me a steady stream of sturdy sticks, stones and glowing mushrooms.
Kids these days donโt know how to hustle ๐ #Pokopia

Me, waiting for you.
I demand it!
And Iโll do it again
Congrats! Sounds like youโre making huge progress well done!
Vegan/vegetarian/allergy substitutes have existed for decades. If youโre cooking for someone with a lactose intolerance you shouldnโt have to go to the โoat liquidโ section. It should just be with milk. The idea that people are โmisleadโ is PR from an industry trying to harm their competitors.
Actually the gambling analogy works too.
โ*Iโm* good at gambling. Itโs everyone else thatโs being tricked. *I* know how to play the game. I donโt have a problemโ
Actually thatโs the other part - any time Iโve gotten what I โwantedโ itโs turned out to not be fulfilling and Ive had to challenge my views on what i want in my life.
I think Iโve just accepted that each decade is going to be *different* and shitโs just gonna *happen* whether I like it or not.
So while I also stress about the bigger picture at times, Iโm trying to just live a happy life in the now as much as possible ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Because ultimately within a few simple questions you inevitably discover that ChatGPT continues to lie to them and their overconfidence has led them to stop questioning it.
You know those people who say โIโve trained my dog so well. Iโm really strict and donโt let him boss meโ and then you *see them* and the dog is absolutely running circles around them and definitely in control?
Thatโs what I see whenever someone says โIโve mastered ChatGPT. It doesnโt lie to *me* ๐โ
Next time you open an app or login to a service you wonโt be able to un-see it.
Every User Interface is the digital equivalent of your middle manager staring over your shoulder and interrupting you to ensure you do it โtheir wayโ.
The leaders of big tech are insecure middle managers with too much time on their hands and no one around to tell them no.
So they pop in and interrupt. Their colleagues are always wrong. Their customers are always wrong.
They know best and desperately defend their existence.
It *just* dawned on me. Big tech has turned middle manager micromanagement culture into their core design philosophy.
Trying to do a simple task? Hereโs an irrelevant suggestion!
Hereโs a pop up every two seconds to slow you down doing that simple task!
โYouโre doing it wrong Iโll do it myselfโ

The thing I donโt understand about Kyle and Jackie O is one of my local cafes plays their station and the content Iโve heard has actually been incredibly boring outside whatever scandals theyโve had.
I heard a 5 minute segment about how they couldnโt figure out their Foxtel remote ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Problem is thatโs not what theyโre campaigning for. Theyโre campaigning to destroy their competitors. The intent is not to help or educate the community.
Yet everyone is demanding Apple shove GenAI into Siri.
The voice assistants have gotten demonstrably worse with this push.
And how is the moustache ๐
It was okay! Facilities are falling apart a little though! Very 70s vibe!

This is happening under Labor/Labour Governments.

Aussie dairy farmers want to reclaim the word 'milk' from plant-based competitors By Yashee Sharma - 2 days ago Australian dairy farmers are calling for stricter labelling laws so that their plant-based competitors cannot use the word "milk". The UK Supreme Court last month ruled that Swedish company Oatly could no longer trademark or use the phrase "post milk generation" on its products following a lengthy legal battle by Dairy UK. Australian Dairy Farmers president Ben Bennett wants the federal government to follow suit with mandatory rules, saying milk should come from an animal and not a marketing department.
This must be one of the stupidest current culture wars along with claims that people are โconfusedโ if meat substitutes are sold anywhere near the real meat versions.
Itโs not about consumer rights. Itโs not about the โethicsโ of labelling.
Itโs pure culture war.
Grow up.
