I had such a deep sense of dread reading this article. I dont even have the energy to Baudrillard post but i'll do a quick one anyway
Its founder, Eugenia Kuyda – who initially created the tech as an attempt to resurrect her closest friend as a chatbot after he was killed by a car
... the age of simulation thus begins with a liquidation of all referentials - worse: by their artificial resurrection in systems of signs, which are a more ductile material than meaning, in that they lend themselves to all systems of equivalence ... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death, or rather of anticipated resurrection which no longer leaves any chance even in the event of death.

getting better at this whole cooking thing. i dont think i could ever work in a kitchen professionally but its nice to be able to cook for myself. I wish I had the time and energy to bake again.

after the incident yesterday as a result of handling a serrano I was very very cautious working with a jalapeno i bought but... They really aren't very spicy, are they? Or maybe I just got a very weak pepper. I read somewhere that they've mostly bred the spice out for consistency purposes in food products and mass appeal and I think thats kind of a shame. like you kind of jump from jalapenos to serranos in terms of commonly available peppers and I feel like thats a big gap heat wise. the small piece of serrano I ate raw left my lips burning but a big pinch of jalapeno pieces didnt really register that much. I kind of wish growers just labeled it a different cultivar so that its distinguishable. Like the habanada or whatever its called. On that note, I wonder if I'll ever be able to handle a habanero in my lifetime. Pushing my spice tolerance has been pretty fun but its still very low. The habanero lime buldak noodles are very tasty but have me feeling lightheaded from how spicy they are and from what I understand those are only a fraction of the real heat of a habanero
asset packs (and i mean assets, not like scripts/big plugins) are ok for learning and prototyping features ig. will never touch a slop generator though.
i used to be very stubborn about using assets but i didnt end up learning much and hit roadblocks when it came to features that depended on art, because i didnt have any art skills to speak of. I still dont use them much but I also dont put art into my games while i work out the prototype
but I have also accepted that I'm probably not going to make money off of anything I make in my personal time and it will probably be years before I finish anything 
i think i burnt my hand cooking or washing dishes somehow (i made vegan quesadillas, they were good) but the problem is I have NO idea when this occurred and that kind of scares me. I dont think its a serious burn, there's no blister, but its warm and stings like hell and its getting to me. Maybe i had the faucet up too high? idk how you burn yourself and not notice for like, 30 minutes afterwards
