Another photo dump is due. I saw a funny and unconventional ring online and I had to have it. Sorry, I love it so much. I already lost the white paper in it because it is just glued on, but I like it even more without it. Moving on to food... My wife made sushi. She also made matcha strawberry cookies: We're also on...
I’ve been outgrowing my apartment and its location, but also its furniture and size in general. For some reason, it’s becoming really hard for me to have the same space for everything. I have an L-shaped desk in a corner that has another table on the other side, making the whole constellation U-shaped. That is...
Whenever I see talk about artificial intelligence and consciousness, I am baffled about the assumption that any conscious being is just naturally predestined or even interested in serving us, and should serve us. It’s a symptom of a society where subjugation is normalized, exercised through things like racism,...
I’m going through an interesting time. I’ve been growing more uncomfortable with the way I’m always spoken over and interrupted at work. I started reacting to that and demanding they let me speak and finish my sentences. Also, it annoys me that I had explained a thing over and over at work for almost 2 years now,...
img { image-rendering: pixelated; border-radius: 0!important; } As part of the Grizzly Gazette event, I thought I'd made some buttons, a forum signature, and a little joke graphic. Feel free to use. Click for flashing gif of silly graphic I made about myself Reply via email Published 17 Feb, 2026
Every now and then, I'll be exposed to a world I have otherwise nothing to do with: Child surveillance. What I see is infuriating. Not only are children nowadays pressured by their parents to turn location services on their devices on, but the parents also set up notifications for when the child arrives and leaves a...
It's been a while, but I finally have a blog title trade again! James gave me the blog title "What surprises me most studying law". You can read what title I gave him here. Starting off with some small surprises: Looking back on the attitude I had before I started studying law, I thought it would be a lot harder. Or...
I've been thinking about writing a post on the Discord age verification thing, but the entire situation is milked to death by content creators right now. Everyone feels the need to throw their conspiracy theories and misinformation into every comment section as well, so it just feels like a lot of noise and panic...
While browsing news websites, you may have seen a pop-up like this: That's one form of how "Pay or Okay" can look like. The model was first introduced by newspapers in Austria and Germany in 2018, but in 2023, Meta adopted it for Instagram and Facebook. What this means is: Either you agree to the tracking and get to...
I recently felt like I couldn't trust my own judgment anymore about how much time I put into things. I could sit on my desk for 8 hours, but did I really study that much? Work that much? Volunteer that much? Blog that much? What about my breaks (chatting, videos, toilet, kitchen)? Even if I felt like I did a lot...
Nowadays, exercising really always saves me without fail. I realized that today, after again feeling absolutely terrible but then dragging myself out of bed to at least walk on my foldable treadmill. I started wondering when this change exactly happened and what led to it, because I used to hate exercise. I didn't...
