I only went in to visit a friend. I felt very on edge when I was in there. Attendants were always watching, with mirrors set up so they had less blind spots. Everything in there is modified to make sure it is harder to hurt one’s self with, or others. The pens they gave my friend to draw with were just the ink cartridge with a rubber tube around it to make it easier to hold while also letting it flexible so it would be harder to use as a stabbing device.

My friend was pretty bored. There was no phones allowed, even to visitors. I don’t think they would let you bring anything in, especially not if it needs a charger.

It is not a place I would like to go to again. Especially not against my will.

The first time I tried gorgonzola was on a buffalo chicken pizza at the pizza place I used to work at. They used franks wing sauce for the chicken. The vinagery spice mixed with the creamy funk of the gorgonzola is amazing to my taste buds. (Which is weird because I am generally a picky eater and it sounds like something I would hate) So maybe try it with chicken wings or on a buffalo chicken pizza.

Not really. It would be cool to leave a mark on the world, but once I’m dead, I won’t be around to care.

My partner has an original steam controller. The touch pads are honestly pretty nice for computer navigation when you’re laying on the couch. It is a horrible option for gaming though. This new one has joysticks though, so this really might be the steam controller that works well for both computer navigation and gaming.

Technically, I do sometime read the AI overview when I search something. But I don’t use any other AIs. I just don’t have a need to. Normal chatbots always felt so hollow to me, like I couldn’t sense any humanity in them or something. Making them smarter doesn’t look like it has helped. The screen shots I see make AI look incredibly sycophantic and like it’s trying too hard to sound human. It comes off even more off putting to me. I do sometimes come up with idea that could make use of image generation, but I have made the decision that if I want an image, I can either pay someone to do it, or do it myself. Most of the time it leads to me not doing anything with the idea. But that’s fine. But I do still sometimes work up the drive to actually try to draw though.
