    it is still the same, but we’re already conditioned to have everything thrown at us on every single internet interaction, making the thought of searching something new seem like stepping out of our comfort zone

    with AIs and what not, this feeling will only worsen








  • The statement is but an option, of course you couldn’t handle your phone handcuffed, that would be extremely difficult.

    It’s merely a countermeasure prior to any altercations with officers, most phones automatically restarts if you press the power button for a few seconds.

    I don’t think having to resort to such things is cool, but I indeed had to do this once .

    Where I live cops often unlawfully search you and check whatever they want. I was stopped at a traffic light, on the guise of a “drugs operation”. Told the officer I’d pick my license and car register, picked those and restarted my phone in 5 seconds. Got out of the car, they searched and soon released me.

    In this case nothing happend, but if you’re somewhere where cops search unlawfully, and you were not stopped near an alleyway that cops can beat your password out of you with a wrench, I’d totally say you should restart your phone.










  • Yeah I know that feeling, is soul crushing.

    You spend so much time learning and improving a craft, you think you’re not top-level yet, but you surely is a reference in the area.

    Then you see that person, usually younger, absolutely crush your skills by a landslide, making things that kept you several nights awake, seem like child’s play.

    Then you start to question what were you doing all this time, were you lazy? Did you have a good path to the point you are? Are they just special? Are you just lacking? Will you be able to keep up with that person (this applies mostly when we’re talking about a job)?

    Then you realize no matter what you think, It is what It is, but now you can’t even muster any strength or aspirations, because you will never top their speed, you’re just and old and incapable thing, drifting away.

    Get me a cigar.
