I get along with most of my coworkers. But then again, I'm also an elder, both in age, and experience. I've worked where I'm at for six years now. Most people move on after a couple years-- sometimes much sooner. I'm also 50, nearly twice the age of my average coworker. I clock in, do the...

Okay. So, this is the "running my own personal AI/LLM software on my desktop" kind of application... using stuff like KoboldCPP and SillyTavern, right? Yeah, yesterday I fell down this rabbit hole as I'm experimenting for creative writing purposes.

That depends on the GM/group. But forum role play comes and goes in spurts. Usually the summer time, most games are dead-- everybody is outside enjoying REAL LIFE. But coming into the autumn and winter time, games pick up. People are copped up indoors. It's courtesy to post if you KNOW...

Why does this give me Stepford Wives imagery? 😅

Well, I can certainly teach you (or anybody else for that matter who's interested). It's actually pretty easy to do. The hard part is finding people who are disciplined enough to commit the time to play, to stay engaged. One of the reasons I enjoy Play by Post gaming is because I don't have to...

I think AI, as any tool has the potential to be misused, abused, or leaned on as a crutch (whatever word means that-- I need coffee). I believe that Artificial Intelligence is of great help for quickly summarizing data, or computing complicated mathematical formulas-- I've recently used it to...

I personally believe that the bill should be paid 50/50% or each their own (I think it's called "Going Dutch". Why? Because that way, there's no implied favors (usually resulting in something sexual) because your date paid your way. Whenever I used to go out to eat, even with friends, unless...

I use DeepSeek, but I'm just bouncing ideas I have about the series of anime-centric novels that I'm writing. It's REALLY helpful for quickly gathering research from multiple sources. And it's handy to calculate the Astrological data for each character-- something that would probably take me a...

Table top role playing games. I had this as a hobby before I discovered anime. Now I blend the two together.

Don't sell yourself short. You may be able to offer that unique piece that just clutches onto somebody's heart. Just be warned, using Etsy, there's small fees. Not so much of a bother if you're not doing Print-on-Demand / Drop Shipping, but still something to keep in mind.

Alright! Day four of my vacation!.... I've spent the past couple of days just recovering and resting. I've managed to pick up Savage Worlds (SWADE), and I'm truly excited that this game may finally unlock the epic Magical Girl Cat-fight battle that I have been wanting to do for-like-ever...

I can't help but to think of this: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." It reads to me that you're involved in a toxic relationship with your niece. She sees you as an Automatic Teller Machine that she can use whenever she needs to. This is a one-way...

Well, I've had an interesting week. I thought I was going to loose my forum because I couldn't afford to pay the web hosting fees for another year. But a true generous heart came through and now we don't have to worry about loosing our digital home. I have learned more than I ever needed to...

No. Because you'll end up being exploited. If you're marrying simply to have access to your spouse's financial access, there's no love there, and because there's no love, you'll probably end up being mistreated. Think about it this way. That money attracted you. That money also attracts any...

Indeed, the food discount is one of the only benefits that keeps me where I'm at. We get to buy things at cost, and it's bulk, so it's initially expensive, but like 50 pounds of sugar easily lasts me three months, with heavy baking. 15 dozen extra large eggs lasts me about four months (yeah...

I know that I'm falling excessively asleep because my kidneys are probably shot (way too much Ibuprofen), which metabolizes Vitamin D, B12, and releases a hormone that instructs your bone marrow to make more red blood cells. I've taken the excessive Ibuprofen because I think I also have...

The problem with living in a Hyper-Individualistic-Capitalistic nation, is that you must be able to lean on only yourself. I've lived for 50 years. And during that time, every time I've needed help, asked for help, begged for help, I got let down. Perhaps when the entirety of Modern...

If you're in a survival situation, you need to stop everything and take a look around to see where you're at. Shelter? Food? Safety? Unfortunately, we live in a modern society that requires money to operate. That means exchanging your time for money. So what are your skills that you can...

Congratulations! I know just how stressful the job hunt is in 2026...and 2025...and 2024.... and 2023..... I think I'm doomed. LOL. But I'm glad you're able to secure much needed income!

I seriously don't think we're going to make it to November at this rate.
