It will depend on you as a person. I will tell you things that helped in my experience:

Buying things isn’t the same as starting. Although ordering is seductive false substitute for it. Don’t buy things until you need them. If you want to sculpt clay start with some dirt and a fork. Only when your 10hrs in do you buy things. (Obviously caveats abound but generally use the imperfect things you have)
it can be overwhelming deciding what hobby to invest in; they pile up and each takes a little mental effort to sustain even in purgatory. This tends toward guilt in the long run. When new things arise, write them down, don’t start them, there is time. Even if you have to choose randomly, all are valid, commit to it for at least enough time to do something.
planning can become an all consuming task. If you find yourself on your phone during the weekend; just get up and start. If you want to do wood working; just get up go collect some sticks and start making a chair. It will be shit, it may not even be functional, but begin, and you will learn more from that and be more energized than a month contemplating.
Know the difference between something you enjoy watching, and something you want to do. It’s ok if you just like watching people make sculptures, there are plenty of other hobbies, it’s not a black mark on your creative ego.
Don’t immediately seek external validation or comparison when you do start. Odds are you will be shit. And thats ok. If your interest wains without external validation; it might be that you crave the validation of being good at something and not a hobby. You can still succeed with that being your aim; but it is a long road to walk and the validation you seek will be hard won. You chances of success increase if you can find a hobby which you enjoy, and that you could happily perform in isolation after a ling day. If you find that then external validation will be a sweet and unexpected reward before you know it.
if you have projects that have been abandoned, and weigh on your soul. Be willing to set them free. Value them for the experiences they gave you. Give them to someone who will use them. It might be bittersweet but much of their value is in memory. If you ever decide to restart you will be surprised how quickly you reach the same level of completion.

Uhhh no? This is machine vision not generative and not at all related to OpenAI….

I mean If a guy wants to be a swordfish why not just let him? It doesn’t seem mutually exclusive with transgender rights. It’s absurdism for sure. And I don’t doubt that there is a fair amount of trauma since conservatives make those parallels as dumb jokes.

But, and I guess I might be influenced by the book I’m reading “Diaspora” which is about post humans living in a simulation.

For me personally, I might, if given this chance in a virtual world, choose to be a feminine anthro creature because for me it would feel right.

While one of those aspects is practically impossible in the real world, our minds which define the extent of possible feelings of bodily dysphoria are products of nature and environment; and capable of great change. So to create a hierarchy of validity between the two aspects of my desire feels like an appeal to nature.

However, as long as we are all piloting flesh mechs, I understand how this argument might feel threatening as to a conservative it might be used to justify the slippery slope arguments that they frequent.

Well to be fair it seems like mostly people here are just describing intelligence not quantifying it.

The problem is that insurance companies negotiate lower rates than what you would get if you pay out of pocket; this coupled with the tact that jobs that provide healthcare don’t offer it as a choice, means that for the vast majority of people its a black box that is difficult to escape from, and if you do then you get screwed on price.

I mean 10k is a drop in the bucket; the mostly speak english, probably atomizing, but I don’t know.

The fact is, that is attributed falsely to the end of apartheid by racists, South Africa is a very corrupt single party state; and getting worse since the 2008 recession. Despite the issues America is having at the moment; a lot of people still want to move there by contrast. So as was said; a large portion of the people being admitted are probably not lunatics.

Hell Divers 2. Cool soundtrack, cool visuals. But replay ability doesn’t seem that great. Some of my friends play it a ton. For me though, there was a lot of just slowly walking between objectives, hit a button, fight some, walk between objectives. Repeat each map with slightly different monsters and maps. But might just be that i didn’t get far past the first worlds.

kinda a dark time in his life

And so the king of wood bore me away from Isengard faster than the wolves and orcs released from the gates could match. Though he more me, his take was only to bear information; so I bade him take me rohan where a small toad and I would race to the shire in a sucession of expensive cars, likely to wreck a great number of them.

True but mint is woody so eventually stems harden and become brittle

Yeah true, but had to be concise. For certain applications plastics are 100% the way to go, so not perfect analogy. But for plenty of other applications they are worse than wood, metal, and glass

Oh gurrlll this year fuckin sucks

But the article doesn’t have anything to do with the United States? On its surface your comment seems like whataboutism? Could you explain your position a little bit more?

We just need dithering with different levels of grey representing a different amount of Bison, arranged so that the macro pattern still registers as a Bison; but in fact it would be a mega Bison.

I like the optimistic message but the graph scale is throwing me
