  when i was about 4 i put out a pickeral rig and ended up catching 3 goldeye at the same time. my dad thought i caught another rock because i lost another rig earlier, but i kept reeling it in, low and behold, a bunch of goldeye.

  after that i guess you could say i was hooked

  thats probably why i enjoy it, its mostly about spending time with others and relaxing for me. actually catching something is a secondary experience thats appreciated if it happens.

  i dont mind fishing in games, not the biggest draw. but for survival games mainly it should be a staple as long as its done well enough to be satisfying and rewarding.

  lets just create an alternate wizarding universe.

  i mean, she stole the idea from someone else anyways.

  this could just be a “cruel reflection” minus the TERF nonsense, and wizards shitting on the floor.

  im seeing a lot of people complaining about the difficulty, and i highly suggest you get into alchemy and brewing potions/ poisons.

  its a game changer in the early game especially.

  its become more of a confidence man than anything.

  ive been testing various models for about 4 years now. conclusions are always the same. even when referencing online material the accuracy is sub par compared to simply looking it up yourself.

  its good for certain tasks, but as far as verifying information you are better off using ai to find sources, and then reading those sources yourself as opposed to the rights ups it offers.

  an example. last night i came across a character in the game “kingdom come: deliverence 2” named the “odd trader” after saving him from bandits he offers to sell you various oddities, one of which being a “broken roman spear” that may or may not be the spear of destiny that pierced jesus christ.

  GPT said that you could reforge the spear and that it was VERY powerful, when i asked it specifically how to do that, it said “oh sorry! turns out you cant do that, its just an easter egg!”

  this happens constantly. but many people who use it dont verify the output, and take it at face value. especially adamant defenders of AI and especially chatgpt.

  i know some fan boys will get pissy hearing this, and thats okay. in order for a technology to improve you have to acknowledge its flaws. thats a part of innovation.

  also, i do believe AI will cause far more harm than good in the coming years if it is capable of advancing the way people suggest it might. and this particular flaw is a part of that harm. we cant speed run AI without severe risks.

  side note, if you are really fed up with this news cycle, you could take up a new hobby.

  drones are crazy fast these days, and cheap to make, and there are SO many ways to build them now. they come with so mant different attachments, especially in the states. you could attach all kinds of crazy things to them. like nerf guns, and paintball guns and do all kinds of fun activities with lots of friends

  also i hear the area around mar a lago is beautiful to vacation in, it would be great to get some birds eye view footage of that place. just for fun with a bunch of your friends

  i hear also about how good drones are at stabalizing for long distance shots on video these days. you could fly them so high up you could barely see them or hear them from the ground.

  some people even use them to drop small, or large packages from the air as well. just be careful they dont land on anyone important

  that would be aweful…eh?

  buy clothes second hand, or make your own. never buy a brand new vehicle if you absolutely need one. learn how to DIY repair as much of your tech, laptops, computers, cellphones as possible. can or freeze your left overs. grow your own food and herbs if you can. recycle whatever you can at home for purposes you may need them for. BUILD YOUR HOME OUT OF RECYCLED AND AVAILABLE MATERIAL IF POSSIBLE WHERE YOU LIVE.

  BUY AN OLD BIKE, AND RIDE IT WHEREVER YOU CAN REASONABLY. upgrade it to a DIY ebike using systems like bafang if you need to go further or or faster. buy second hand if possible.

  cook all your meals at home, dont eat out, the food quality dependant on sources of ingredients will likely be higher if you put time and effort into learning a core skill like cooking.

  learn how to do calisthetics and jog, ditch your gym membership, or build a home gym from second hand equipment. some can even be sourced for free.

  make home made gifts, home made cards, learn how to knit, people go ape shit for scarves and sweaters made by hand. maybe learn how to make jewellery, you do not have to use precious metals and stones to make jewellery.

  buy tools second hand, borrow them from friends and family if needed

  it requires a little extra work to be more independant and consume less, but it is by far more rewarding mentallt, and physically to do so. and for some even spiritually.

  buy second hand computers, and computer parts, build a “homelab” for self hosting your own streaming and entertainment services, email, gaming servers, etc.

  ive personally done all of this, it can be difficult, but your wallet will thank you in the long run if you can adapt to your new economic environment. and i vuarantee you, your life will be much more fulfilling.

  i imagine its because text messages are saved by your provider and can be used or accessed by law enforcement even if deleted. but that may or may not be an issue for most people swapping recipes or talking to their family about normal every day stuff.
