He made her an offer she couldn't refuse

'I asked chat GPT-'

oh did you? You asked something that steals shit to lie to you about a subject? And you just tell me this like I care to know what it said? Like I wanted to know its opinion? I regularly ask my cat Cheesey Gordita Crunch about many subjects and I think I trust his judgement more than whatever bullshit ur shitty algorithm spat out

I don’t like being referred to as a boy

hmm tomorrow i will write an absolutely unhinged post on car headlight design despite knowing little to nothing about design

last night i had the craziest fucking dream

there was this island off the coast of los angeles called thelena iirc. (sidenote, i didnt know what it was called for the longest time. i pulled out my phone in the dream and used google maps and saw all of the city names and ferry routes) iirc it gained significant popularity and acted as a refuge for many people after some climate disaster killed a lot of the usa, but i also remember the usa being bustling, so thats a continuity error in my dream. the other part of thelena was as a massive experiment by the united states government, as they wanted to see if they should switch the usa over to a socialist nation, as well as switch over to public transit/walkable cities because thelena was relatively small (iirc around the size of los angeles), and was isolated from the mainland, it was a perfect testing ground.

unsurprisingly, thelena socially blew up, with many thousands of people migrating to it, and being a hub for scientific and technological advancement, all in perfect harmony with nature

*sigh* i wish thelena was real

also, some whacky shit happened in that dream.

- there was a pizza hut on thelena and one of the toppings was whole brains

- i had a derelict boeing 737 with broken cockpit windows which i flew around in and fucked around with

- i fought ganondorf (from the legend of zelda) but with horse legs at the beginning of the dream

- one of the ways you can tell if you're in a dream is by noticing text, and if its all weird and moves due to the fact that your brain cant render text, you are in a dream. my brain just didnt do this. thats how i knew it was called thelena (although i might have forgot the exact spelling)

- my brain somehow almost perfectly rendered google maps on my phone? there were a few graphical glitches with nonexistent islands filling up ocean bays and it looked really weird, but other than that my brain perfectly rendered google maps text, zoom, roads, and ferry routes

one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.

DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.

Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.
