Don't be satisfied with your vision for the future. Be satisfied with completing it.
So, don't be happy with saying "I'm going to do this project"; that's just a plan and an intention. If you're satisfied just with "someday I will" then you won't do it. #advice #workEthic #gamedev #creativity

@linuxgamingcentral It's true!! Like, even ones not relating to Sheik at all, she just happens to be in the video getting kicked off the stage

How many times do you get an idea, just for it to die before it begins? High-quality work is ideal, but a poorly done work of creativity is better than none at all!

"Too often we attack cultural challenges with a spirit of misplaced certainty. We feel like we know what’s wrong, and we know how to fix it, and when we know we’re right, opposition is frustrating at best and infuriating at worst. The more certain we are, the more likely we are to view opponents not just as wrong, but evil. Do they not want to solve our crises?" - David French

Remember that by far, most people aren't out with the intent to destroy good.
Something to think about

I got less than 3 hours of sleep, and today marks the first day I drank non-decaf #coffee in college.

I feel awake and not awake at the same time.

"Cool" is "normal" executed so well that it's special.

And, I believe that all these other "humans" are also conscious, according to the evidence (such as them looking and behaving, all things considered, very similar to me). So, evidently, they have something beyond physics, too.
As for ChatGPT, the evidence I have is that it exists just in physics like normal (being ANN based and all). So I do not believe it is conscious.

A post I recently saw about #ChatGPT prompted me to go through some logic about #life:

I know as a fact that I'm conscious. I don't know how it works, but however it works, I'm conscious and consciousness is something fundamentally beyond math.
If physics is, basically, math being executed over time, then you cannot have consciousness existing (solely) in physics. And so I believe that I must have something beyond physics that serves as my "consciousness".

I was playing a lot more #SmashBros online quickplay today, and I'm wondering:

If someone is being rude/toxic/a bad sport/whatever to you in an #SSBU match online, what do you think you should do back?

Don't you like it when someone in Smash Bros's online quickplay is being toxic and you just, you know, run them over a little bit? 😉

I declined a rematch.

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like Samsung added the "pregnant man" emoji this update.

I think a lot of the issue is a semantic/linguistic one. Historically and canonically, 'man' and 'woman' were simply physically/anatomically bound words, but the pro-LGBT have been trying to redefine gender. Why couldn't they have come up with a new term for gender? It would have saved society so much trouble.

Oh great, my phone is now in the middle of a large update without my permission. And I was connected to my hotspot too.
