Because games aren't as interesting as REAL LIFE But when you're 12 your life consists of waking up, going to school, being bored at school, coming home, having 10,000 rules by parents, can't do anything without their permission So no shit games are fun then because it gives you freedom and also your life is boring Now you're a grownup you have ALL THE FREEDOM in the world to do anything, go anywhere, talk to anyone How would a video game ever compare? GTA 5 or Cyberpunk 2077 is extremely limited compared to what I can do in my life and what I did already so to me it's just extremely boring But I still play a bit but it's just tedious and boring so I keep quitting
@levelsio I can’t even play a video game without feeling like I’m wasting my life. Kind of sad because I used to enjoy vidya. Maybe one day when I’ve done enough I can return.
View quoted postBecause when you grow up (if you do it well) your life becomes a video game And it's way better than any game you'll ever play
Something clicks in your brain after 30 and you are unable to enjoy video games..... The inability to ignore your entire life for hours a day just becomes overwhelming....

✨ Added a CRT curvature distortion to @pieter now It takes the Em-DOSBox and processes it in WebGL and builds a new with the distortion of a classic CRT screen which had this convex curvature (like an old TV) even though the screen itself was square I had this working on DOSBox on MacOS and on Linux with CRT-Pi shader, but on web it doesn't support shaders so I had to build my own with Claude Code in JS, very easy I remember trying this a year ago and Claude Code fucked it up so bad that I gave up, so I think the models have improved a lot Tomorrow I'll try add some scanlines, it really helps make the simulation more passable (and nostalgic!) 😊👌
This is why I stopped ego lifting It's much less risky to train at lower weights but higher reps than to ego lift to your one max rep (1RM) And you get the same results I've never had an injury and I like to keep it that way
You don't need to lift heavy weights to gain muscle. As long as volume and effort are high, and you train to fatigue, you can build muscle mass (hypertrophy) with lower weights. Dr. Stuart Phillips (@mackinprof) and colleagues recently showed that low-load (20–25 reps at

My #1 feature request for Claude Code should add is stop asking me every time for confirmation by default, like "can I check this folder", yes brother you can do anything you want Like maybe for writing ask me permission Add some [ just go ] mode Even with [ accept edits on ] it still asks me permission 1000 times per day I just want you to run and keep going mostly And no I don't feel like running it with --dangerously-skip-permissions

🍞 People don't believe me my local artesanal bakery does not have a bread slicer and is not planning on buying one 🥹 They also are always very quickly sold out of bread at about 11am (been like that for the last 4 years) and no they won't scale up to produce more loaves of bread eventhough demand is through the roof here Why you say? Because it's not worth for my baker to produce more bread because the higher tax they'd have to pay would remove most of the increased profits they'd get So why scale up? Buying a bread slicer would make the product even more attractive and that is a probelm because it'd increase sales even more and they don't want that because then they'd be sold out by 9am! It's a tale of classic Southern European economics It's kinda fun to observe, like text book economics you studied in school played out in front of you with a product as basic as a loaf of bread that is hard to obtain (Obviously I could go to the supermarket to buy bread there and they do have a slicer but we're hipsters and like the artesanal bakery more)
@levelsio just get the bakery to cut the slices for you - they have the same machine and you avoid the mess. Even local supermarkets have them sometimes

Guys we have 2 glass airfryers now Can make 2x 500g 🥩 ribeye at the same time (1kg steak = 250g protein) Or 1x 500g 🥩 ribeye + 1x 500g 🥦 vegetables Also rice cooker on right and SodaStream sparkling water maker on left (I press it 6x to get turbo water, 1x is too weak)
This one isn't airfryer but 100% oven This is my famous 🍋 Acid Chicken recipe: get local butcher chicken legs then add squeezed lemon, Kikkoman soy sauce, put a lot, then marinate with skin down for a few hours or overnight Then take out and flip chicken, add smoked paprika powder, some rosemary or other spices you like Then about 25-30min in a preheated fan oven at 220C/430F At same time you can put frozen brussel sprouts and other veg in, add salt and pepper Prep time I'd say 5mins Add rice if you want some carbs and try out the juice on the rice it's great Very tasty and very healthy! 😋
We buy like 5 loafs from the local bakery every few months Then cut all loaf in slices, I got this bread cutting machine for it on Amazon Then we freeze those slices We don't eat bread a lot but sometimes, so if you wanna eat bread, you just put a frozen slice in air fryer for

This is true and the same goes for rice and potatoes, even when reheated. It’s called retrogradation. Freezing bread and then toasting it also has the same effect. This is a health hack not enough people are taking advantage of.

One of its milestones was the moment when gay makeup artists began to occupy the place of aesthetic authority over what would be the “feminine beauty,” ceasing to interpret femininity to, little by little, prescribe it. The result of this turning point was a feminine aesthetic that is increasingly artificial, hyperconstructed, and standardized, guided by exaggerated, angular, and performative traits, often dissociated from concrete female corporeality. That’s why nowadays many surgeries and procedures no longer aim to enhance the feminine, but rather to replace it with a technical caricature, an imitation of traits that were born outside of the feminine experience itself. Very sad."
A travequizacão do feminino é uma psyop que acontece há mais de dez anos. Um de seus marcos foi o momento em que maquiadores gays passaram a ocupar o lugar de autoridade estética sobre o que seria o “belo feminino”, deixando de interpretar a feminilidade para, pouco a pouco,

RT Matthew Prince 🌥 Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers.

Yes about 1.5cm thick ribeye Deep frozen Put in airfryer, add some beef tallow or ghee, add salt pepper onto the tallow or ghee it will spread it Then 10min Then after 10min flip and probably another 5min but monitor a lot You wanna have it brown outside pink inside Why not room temperature (like when you cook in a frying pan)? Because room temperature steak will be brown outside and gray inside in an airfryer The frozen part is perfect because it takes more time to cook the inside than the outside so outside will be brown and inside pink Also deep freezing steak I imagine helps kill any live bacteria left

For a long time I tried to think of other ways, like generating one image first with multiple people, then replacing those people with each LoRa with img2img, but it was all too unwieldy and didn't really work well Couples kinda worked if you'd train a new model with photos of both of you, but every photo had to kinda have the same position like (you left, partner right) or it'd start messing it up, TL;DR the models were too dumb to do this But with all the new models now like Nano Banana Pro and Hyper Realism, they're finally smart enough to understand what you want to generate The results are very detailed and you can do stuff like 1) extreme close ups with cool lights (AI Photography pack) 2) put you and your gf in Berghain (Berlin photo pack) 3) turn you guys into digital nomads in Bangkok (digital nomad pack) THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER 😊2/3 Here's how it looks, it's live now on http://photoai.com for everyone :D3/3 Here's me, gf and @PascalPixel having Doner Kebab in Berlin after partying

Honestly I think the only realistic solution to the decreasing quality of service in the West is robots I don't think even if you fix the societal problems of high cost of living (which people say is why people suck at their jobs these days, fair) that anyone will want to do these jobs anymore in the West at least When ChatGPT 4 was here I already thought it'd do a better job than 99% of people working in service jobs, imagine now With modern AI models and robotics, I think companies will be able to produce a much much better service experiences than humans I don't know if it'll be fully automated hotels, restaurants, cafes, airline service staff, or humanoid robots, or something in between Who wants a grumpy tired human if you can get a friendly humanoid helping you? Do I prefer the enshittification to stop and instead have humans? Yes I absolutely do ideally but I'm just realistic that I doubt that's going to happen in the West People doing service jobs in the West hate their jobs, people hate interacting with them because they hate their jobs, and meanwhile robots can do a 10x better job for 1000x cheaper Inevitable I think
Luxury is absolutely done in the West, it literally does not exist anymore It doesn't matter if you pay $100 or $10,000, there's no tiers of service quality anymore, not in hotels, airlines, restaurants, product quality, it's all the same level of enshittification where nobody
RT ib Re Luxury is over because the West has stupid rich people who don’t spend enough money. It’s too expensive to be a normal person with a service job from 15-25 in the West, and those people are the people who do all of the work that makes luxury possible. The new class of money that over the last few decades doesn’t understand anything, because many of them made their wealth through increasingly abstract means, and were never themselves a young person hustling. This is partly the natural result of formalized institutions and pathways of ascent and reproduction (symbolic and literal) of the professional class, and partly because of the post-War split that Charles Murray has detailed endlessly in “Coming Apart” (honorable mention Bill Bishop’s “The Big Sort”), and partly because of a higher, globalized level of competition necessitating much sharper care by the upper income deciles of the US not to fall into mediocrity. The result, though, was that they: imported everyone they could to be an indentured service worker and underpay them, inevitably making wages lower and rents higher. This means that every city in which incumbent wealth was compounding and spending is also one in which the service class — into which young people without rich parents enter — lost its proximity to the spending class. Rents, tuitions, room and board. No socialization. More frigid relations between the people on the golf carts and at the racquet rentals, and the people making them happen. Fewer chance encounters, zero’d out serendipity. You cannot be as available to do odd jobs or network or meet people or get recruited or get poached as talent in a job or at a school located in Manhattan if you have to live in Hoboken. It’s just physics and path dependence. That’s a very privileged example, but layer on decades of affirmative action / DEI, the sharp promotion of women over men, and eventually the lifeblood of any city – a constant churn of young people attempting to make...

You would if you actually care about the cleanliness of a room for your customers
@levelsio It's not just the fact that it's difficult to fire people. I mean ask yourself: As a hotel manager, would you be willing to deal with people management of cleaning personnel? It's hard to justify spending any of your time on it, isn't it? Same reason why SaaS became so popular.
View quoted postIt's the knee jerk reply but it's not because of this I think more likely is the overregulation of labor which caused the outsourcing of it to companies who then use contractors Regulating labor had the opposite effect, now nobody hires anymore in the West because it's impossible to fire people, so instead they pay other companies to do it Go to any airport and try find people that work for the airport, nobody does, it's all random third tier companies that try save money Barely any airline does their own repairs and maintenance or cleaning now, nor hotels, etc.
@levelsio It’s hard to have luxury services without some level of indentured servitude who is willing to have a standard of living way below the median citizen. A hotel cleaner makes $48,000/yr where I live, very close to median income. Can’t compete with places where that cost is one

Luxury is done. The quality of almost everything has gone down. No one is getting what they pay for, not even in first class.

@levelsio I see you mention the creatine a lot, and I always assumed it was only for working out, but are there benefits outside of that? genuinly curious.
View quoted postSo I try to to take creatine after a heavy meal My lunch is quite heavy like big 400g steak with rice, so taking it after that by dry scooping (put 3x 3g spoons in my mouth then wash away with water), I feel good My gut tells me people who feel bad after taking Creatine might just not eat enough because if I take it after light food I also feel uneasy But not after a big meal!
@levelsio @FlorinPop17 Is there a way to tell the right amount? Sometimes I get sea sick if I take more than 5g ( I am not at sea, I am in land )
View quoted post💸 I now passed $100,000 made from shitposting since X started to pay me for posting in April last year! This month was another $10,000 month: $8,293 ad rev share $1,218 subs revenue (=$9,511 per 28 days) = $10,360/month The rise in views/followers was mostly related to my trip to Singapore, Japan and especially China I posted a lot of stories and videos (and still have a few I have to post soon) which also helped get to 120,000,000 monthly views with almost 50,000 new followers in a month too, both records for me I think I don't think it fully paid for the trip though (it doesn't have to) but we are getting somewhat close to where it actually could pay for it, which is cool because that means you can really have paid citizen journalism on here!
💸 A good yapping month again: $5,557 ad rev share $1,437 subs revenue (=$6,995 per 28 days) = $7,619/month A bit down but still good @X payouts are nice 😊👌
What's interesting about the Venezuela operation: after this South America is almost completely right wing and allied to the US And except for Colombia, Brazil too is now completely surrounded by them Brazil is ruled by Lula, a self declared Communist, and a far-left leader who likes to ally himself more with Russia, China and Iran than the US Maybe what the US is trying to do here is create a new Pax Americana with a North and South America that's completely allied with the US Which they could call making (greater) America great again

Think of all the most innovative cultures. What do they all have in common? Cold seasons. You cannot afford to be lazy in a cold, seasonal climate: - You can’t live impulsively. If you don’t stock food or plan winter shelter, you’re dead - You must cooperate, or you’re dead -
RT CTO Larsson When I was born, Sweden was the richest country in the world. Today I can’t live there. Back then, Sweden was also the safest country in the world. And we had the lowest child mortality. It was a trust and honor based society. Little enforcement was needed. I’ve never been tricked or scammed by a native Swede. High tax yes, but with free healthcare, free school and free universities, all world class. Whether your dad was rich or poor, you had the same opportunity, same access to the best universities. Only real merit mattered for admission. We had the most global companies in the world per person. We dominated many global industries. We even produced some of the best music and dominated several sports. Quite a feat for a nation of then 8 million people. Today I can’t realistically even live in Sweden - unless I want my house raided and my family assaulted by criminal gangs operating out of no-go zones in the suburbs of Stockholm. Everyone’s home address is public, a remnant from the trust based era. In one generation, the country has been destroyed, largely by one bad policy decision. I’m not against immigration. I’ve lived in 10 countries. I’m the foreigner now. Immigration is not the problem. Just look at the epic success of Singapore or Dubai. They literally made their success through immigration - merit based. Or look at the CEOs of companies in Silicon Valley - many immigrants. Sweden’s mistake is not doing *merit based* immigration, which means to qualify each person individually. It’s the opposite of racism. - Doctor? Yes. - Engineer? Yes. - Pirate? No. - Lost your police clearance in a boating accident? Also no. Instead in Sweden we did the other way around. - Qualified with all papers? Super difficult to get in. - No papers at all? Awww.. Poor you. Let’s bring 100,000 of those, based on ethnicity. But what about the human aspect? The compassion. Still makes no sense because with the money it costs to bring one ...
It's so good I'm going to buy a second Ninja Crispi airfryer so I can cook frozen meat in one and frozen vegetables in the second one This + my ceramic rice cooker = Rice + meat + veg, all done without almost any work after 15 minutes (and no microplastics!) Not affiliated
This is an incredible product. Take frozen meat -> Put there 10 min -> Delicious meal. No pans, no smoke, no black stuff that gives you cancer, no oils, no cleaning
