Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Precisely this. Also, art is a form human expression - the effort one puts to make something magical, extraordinary and unique.

Doesn't apply to a lazy and talentless person using prompts...

So theaters are now projecting on the walls.

Going to go see sinners on ScreenX. Wowzerz.

Hopefully the media is actually designed for that, with the wall content just being accent bits rather than details you need to look closely at. It'd be impossible to keep a good view of most of the wall, especially for seats closer to the front.

It is only for certain parts of the movie that are specifically for it.

So it's gimmicky but it's probably neat.

A pretty good watch if you care about it. Coogler explaining movie formats.

I think these kind of gimmicks are necessary to get people in to theaters now. I will be interested to hear you thought after you go see one.

Just in case anyone feels they need some FF merchandise its currently their golden week sale.

I'd have to see it twice to be able to say anything other than it's neat.

You have to forgo Imax and see it in the inferior setting to get the extra screen so it's already a losing battle.

"Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide at age 41"

Hmmm....

Would you rather:
Fight a gorilla (no firearms allowed)
Do nyzul


me:

Ive been watching icebrg videos about random knowledge.

One of those was that in Manitoba, it seems they made a bear prison, to arrest violent polar bears around there.

So I was wondering, if that is true, why they didnt capture that perv bear that lurks in this forum?

Should I start selling gil now or wait for my currency to tank?

Currency trading has always seemed like a crazy market, like transferring funds from currency A to B when the exchange rate is high meaning for ever A you get 2 B, then exchanging back when the exchange rate drops for every A you get 1.5 B

so your original amount of A -> B -> A nets you 50% more A, obviously you have to transfer from a currency whose value is going to drop or to a currency whose value will increase :D or both if you are really lucky.

It just always seemed wild to me that you are making money without doing any work, no tangible good or service.

That's how the stock market works too. Buy good news sell bad news, do nothing, make money.

Day trading no different.

"This is AI Garbage, be aware.

Are you aware bro? I'm going to post this on every picture because I have nothing better to do"

So I should hold onto the gil for now.

Day trading is an adrenaline sport.

Yeah i get that but somehow it feels even weirder when your betting on the value of actual currency over a companies performance or the price of oranges tomorrow.

Betting on the stability of a country or betting on the stability of a company.

*** up but shouldn't feel any different. Rooting for and/or against an entities stability. Microsoft as a concept is the same as Uganda. Just a thing that exists to extract profit from.

Most stock trading companies forbid the use of the word "betting" to describe what they do. In theory there is some algorithm that decides when and how much to trade, not a human saying I bet this stock does this.

Seeing as how most of the world's currency is backed by nothing save promises it might help to look at currency as a commodity.

I personally think digital currencies are far weirder than currency trading.

It's all fake. None better or worse than the other. Just your brain trying to talk you into it or out of the guilt of it.

And besides, gambling is a sin.

In the US, maybe. Legal throughout EU.

Participating in currency or stock trading isn't something to feel guilty about. Every person who loses money so your investment can gain money was initially invested on the premise they would gain at your loss. Unless you're treating it like gambling and risking money you can't afford to risk behind your family's back, no guilt needed.

Short term stock trading indeed has tons of luck element involved. But in my region every stock trade has tax that comes with it. So at least frequent traders are gambling, paying tax and contribute in the society on the same time.

There is really nothing to feel guilty about stock trading. Our government actually encourage(kinda) people participate in stock market because tax and government pension money all comes from stock trading. So it's win win situation that people wants to participate in this game.

the average rem cycle for a human is 90 minutes


had enough time yesterday morning between getting off work at 6am to nap and get one rem hopefully before punching in at my day job


And holy crap that rem cycle hit hard as hell. Was dreaming I was living with a conventionally attractive Blond I used to crush on a lot, but she had morphed into like 5 different girls I knew so it was an amalgamation of everyone, and we slowly had an entire life together in that 90 minutes with thousands of intricate moments and details, I woke up so confused and feeling like I had slept for 84 years and felt a century removed from 2025 lol

That's a warning dream if ever there was one.

My wife has gotten me hooked on Stardew Valley. I was in the middle of replaying KOTOR 1, and then the Oblivion Remaster came out, but my wife wanted me to play Stardew Valley...

And it's kinda cute and quirky in all the right ways. Feeling very ADHD for gaming atm.

Trying to play FFXI everyday and still meet the goals I aspire to there. Still having great funs in Packets LS. Brother and me's Sortie duoing has turned into 4 people suddenly. I think they'll leave once they get used to Sortie again. 20~24k runs again yay

Manaan and Korriban to do still in KOTOR. Which also means Rakata and Leviathan and Star Forge as well. I wish I could take my whole crew along at the same time heh.

Oblivion remaster going swimmingly. It's kind of a long game, and I kind of think it'll take a good bit to finish. Especially because I seem to be addicted to giving Diamonds to Stardew Valley citizens. I'm up to 3 girlfriends now and wondering when that'll come crashing down.

Then there's that new Expedition 33 game that I might pick up. Birthday is Saturday(well actually Friday but celebrating Saturday). Gonna force my wife to watch X-Files with me for most of it, I think.

We'd started watching them years ago, but she claimed it was giving her nightmares after some of the grittier episodes like the incest family. But kinda feel like since she had me start watching Supernatural within a month of putting down X-Files and her "nightmares" didn't go away, that she was just juking me into Supernatural. Well, we finished Supernatural like two months ago now, so it's X-Files time, damn it!

The Studio is frigging hilarious and plays into the "awake" tropes prevalent in movie making today.

Highly recommend.
