It's a meaningful difference for me personally.

My mind works by talking to itself, but it's more like I'm the wordless overseer of that voice. There is a lesser maybe faux alter ego's voice that's employed to bounce ideas off of or used for introspection, to humble myself, conceptualization, etcetera, but it can only talk to myself even out loud. If there's another person present they're only talking to primary.

Where I differ from many minds like other self talkers here it seems is that I have full control over the two voices employed by my ego, and if I stop talking it's silent in my skull. Since I also have Total Aphantasia it's a true void in here besides my emotions and hind brain/instincts unless I'm using the voice(s). No real distinction between thinking in my head and speaking out loud.

The unconscious mind passes stuff it processes to the voices to think about. More nuance is far more paragraphs than worth, so I'll leave it there.

I feel like it'd erode my abilities over time like others say, but primarily I just find autocorrect worse than useless for efficiency. I keep disabling it every time I try on new devices.

In Canada it's very hard to get into trouble for piracy unless you make a profit from your piracy.

Or well...until these LLM showed up. That's the part I take issue with.

The winters still get wicked cold, it's just wildly unstable now in the most northern major city in Canada here. Getting rain in December still makes me blue screen even if that's just a thing that happens now for a few years in a row. Like how every summer the horizon is smokey now.

I work a flat 40 with paid breaks. Canada too, but it's a union plant.

I've always been pretty careful by nature, even as a child. There's some close calls since I was outdoors a lot in the 90's hanging out in the forests and river valley, but nothing really bad happened. So I only have one standout story aside from boring scrapes and knocks from that time.

I made it to twelve years of age before I stepped on a log at a survival camp heading back from canoeing in a pond with a lady friend I met at camp. The log turned out to be hollow and full of bees suddenly very angry with me. Got about ~20 stings on the leg that went through the log since I was wearing shorts. A few up my shirt as I fled screaming profanity.

They were on me instantly, but didn't chase me very far thankfully. I don't react to stings much so it wasn't sore for very long. Or I don't remember the pain well because I was still swooning from getting my first smooch on said pond canoe ride....which might explain why I stepped on said log without looking too close. I'm sure there would've been bees around it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe weird but since I worried about my old dryer I just partially filled a bathtub and added detergent. Agitated with a broom stick for awhile, then rinsed.

Air dried outside.

I've heard it said that's technically possible since most matter is really still mostly empty space, but what are the odds truly?

Waiting for the inevitable opinion turn with Game Pass costing more year over year eventually. Not sure if what's left of Xbox brand survives that fall out.

That's true, you really have to get up close to see that inconsistency.

I couldn't possibly do both things!
