I’ve had that issue in several ways. Of course what you said, had an extension cord with a switch below my desk and I kept accidentally hitting that switch in the same way, lived in an apartment some years ago that had some shitty electrical work done by the previous tenant and if I had enough lamps on while my computer and screen where on and I tried to plug in my phone or turn the TV on the circuit popped, and most recently I’ve been playing games via cloud streaming (Shadow) and my Ethernet cable has lost the security tab thingy on both ends and I keep accidentally moving other cables so they touch the Ethernet cable and it falls out. Most of the time I can just put it back in an reconnect to the cloud computer but sometimes it just refuses to do that so the cloud computer shuts down before I’m able to get it working. Lost several hours of progress in various games throughout the past couple of years, but I never buy anything new unless it’s absolutely needed so I just live with and accept it '^^

User: Add enough detergent for this weight of clothes.
Washing machine AI: OK, I have added the correct amount for you, ready to start the wash.
User: You only added fabric softener, I need you to add detergent. Please weigh the clothes and add the detergent based on that weight.
Washing machine AI: Ah, I see what you mean. I have now weighed the clothes and added the needed amount of detergent.
User: you just added more fabric softener. Do not add any more of that, I only need detergent. Please, add detergent.
Washing machine AI: I’m sorry, I misunderstood you before. I have now made sure to add detergent.
User: you added more fabric softener…
Well, they see us collect their various excrements so I’m pretty sure some cats think we do that for eating later or whatever else. So they’re actually trying to be nice.
This is what happens in your brain when you tell yourself to remember something.
I have never done this, and I’ve been on long term sick leave for 15 years due to my executive disfunction/action paralysis. I have gone months without changing bedclothes but not once taken them off without having clean ones to put on at the same time. I’m pretty sure this is a problem from something else and not what’s stated.


I live in a small apartment, and when standing in the middle of the kitchen you can see almost all of if. So when I have new people over I like to ask if they want a tour then point to that spot and tell them to go there, then I say “ok, look around, that’s everything! Nice, huh?” There are generally only two different reactions: “Haha! Yeah, it is nice!” or “Oh, come on, it’s not that bad!”. I never say it in a way that makes it sound like I think it’s bad or too small, but people who have the second reaction generally like bigger and “more”.
It’s the perfect size for me, wouldn’t choose a bigger one even for the same price.

Yep, we almost always find out the worst shit many years after it happened. And I’m pretty sure the absolutely worst stuff just never comes out.


4000 bookmarks is nothing, neither is 12gb. I seriously don’t understand how anyone could think even jokingly saying that’s “the whole internet”.
Now do American mass shooting rate and Linux market share.


Then don’t do that thing, leave it where it can cleaned up by someone you paid to clean it up or only bring things where the trash you leave behind is environmentally friendly and can degrade naturally. There is absolutely no valid reason you can give for this. You’re literally excusing hurting nature because someone decided to do something that they couldn’t handle, how does that make sense?
Both, kinda. I want to wear socks all the time but I can’t stop myself from picking at them so they get holes within a few days. And I have sweaty feet so I always get lint stick between my toes, never found any sock that doesn’t do that. So even though I want to wear them all the time there are enough annoyances from them to make me only wear them when I go to somewhere other than my apartment where I’ll take my shoes off, like a friends place.


Eh, I think it’s just what always happens: they act like children in the way that they do shit to see what they can get away with.
The reasons for doing so are harder to know, and never exactly the same but generally rooted in hate, fear and narcissim. They start doing shit and examine how the world reacts, then tiptoes the line of what would bring out actual response and get them killed or in any other way stopped.
Then it’s about if they get to some kind of place where they feel comfortable and don’t push it more or they get overconfident and actually do step over the line and get shut down by any of the many possible ways that can happen.
This happens everywhere all the time in all different levels possible. Between two toddlers at a play date, bosses and their employees all the way to countries and world powers. And in our fictional stories (and possible futures) between planets, solar systems, galaxies and whole universes.


Your brain certainly works like it’s mostly useless fat, but it’s probably just empty space in there.
The major obstacle for me is recommend videos as I almost exclusively use that and youtube knows what to show me (good factual science channels, nothing with AI used at all, gaming and tech news, essays and documentaries etc.) and no other app than the official youtube one does that as far as I’m aware. (I use ReVanced though). I’ve really tried to jump over to newpipe and grayjay but I miss so much and never discover any new channels through them.
