- Comment on Rainbolt is on the case. 4 weeks ago:
He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).
People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.
Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.

It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.
When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.
I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

It’s so sad. I feel like we need to be hoarding all sorts of random media that was put out pre-AI, because it’s flooding everything. Videos, music, gaming, historical photos/videos…
Random example: I have a folder of desktop wallpapers that I’ve been casually adding to for the last decade or so. Literally thousands of them by this point, but I haven’t added anything recently because every source is inundated with AI generations now.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium otters are my favorite.
- Comment on In the cave 1 month ago:
There are a lot of long nature videos on youtube meant for this purpose - some with relaxing music, some without. I’ll occasionally play one on a TV when I know I’m going to be bouncing around the house all day, and it’s nice.
I don’t know of any actual livestreams like that, but some zoos have livestreams of their aquariums or exhibits that are cool too.

I honestly have no idea where this originated, but it looks like it’s been everywhere, has t-shirts and posters, etc.

- Comment on Elmo is on fire 1 month ago:
Yeah, the conspiracy-prone side of the internet has a lot of overlap between people who believe stuff about “the Jews” and also constantly talk about elite pedofile rings (e.g. Pizzagate). They’ve really latched on to the Epstein case because it’s the closest thing to a smoking gun for the latter.
These people are very angry at the Trump administration right now, so it makes sense to assume that’s the profile of the hacker.

Elmo has since been taken care of.

Just uh… don’t look at the rest of what Elmo said.
