  • World President Crypto-GPT 19 issues emergency executive order 00101010101111010101010001010010110101010010010 to secure additional processors in the build up to the anticipated war with the invading Zerkanods who purge planets that elect AGI governments. Secretary of Human Affairs Clippy entertains the human populace with a scripted meme war on brain phone social media platforms against recently uplifted Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa.


  • The problem with the golden rule is that different people want to be treated differently, so they may treat you how they want to be treated but not how you want to be treated, and vice versa.

    Maybe when you’re struggling with an issue, you want to be left alone to figure it out by yourself, but your friend in the same scenario would want someone to start doing anything to help out and insisting on troubleshooting the issue together. So your friend ends up frustrating you by offering to help too much when you just want to be left alone and then when they’re struggling, they get upset that you leave them alone to deal with it.

    So communication is important. Ask people how they’d like to be treated rather than just assuming they’d want to be treated the way you want to be treated and be honest with them about how you’d like to be treated.

    There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.

    Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.

    With a phone or computer, there’s writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.

    Find someone who has experience in an area you’re interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.

    Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.

    There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.

    • Familiarity
    • More games/better gaming support
    • Consistency with computers used at work/school or by friends/colleagues
    • IT people can benefit from using the same systems as their users to provide better support
    • Availability of proprietary software necessary to run specialized equipment
    • Non-power users might not run into significant issues with Windows since it does basic tasks like web browsing, game playing, and movie watching just fine
