Yesterday I finished a long listen of the audio book "The Raise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer (on audible, 60 hours). He frequently quotes "Mein Kampf". I am not sure one can stomach the whole thing but it's interesting to read quotes of it in context.

I am paying 19 Euros for Netflix and 85 Euros (give or take for prime). This is getting ridiculous. Some time ago I have read an article on heise.de about privacy picking up again. This is why.

I love this. You can say what you want with everyone wearing airpods all the time but I think there is a lot less stigma with wearing them as opposed to hearing aids.

Plus hearing loss is a major risk factor for dementia. So this is big!

The American Alien(s) 1,2 and 3 Limitless The Bourne movies Heat Leon

It's not about the movies themselves but for example with Bourne or the American, it's certain scenes that get me in a mood. A single professional or group doing his / its thing, it's kind of calming.

Feel free to suggest movies in a similar vain.

That's a topic close to my heart as well. I found two books helpful:

- No Self, No Problem (Chris Niebauer) - Solve For Happy (Mow Gawdat)

> Events around a romantic interest recently also made me to rethink on how to effectively control emotions and feelings. The other person can do nothing wrong, but my mind can still feel tormented by their simple actions and events that unfold.

I struggle with this as well and in addition to the two books above I suggest you look into the works of Albert Ellis.

Well, serves me right for clicking on anything with the name vim in it. Now I am making a point of reading the whole article.

> The second part could also be the other way round. If there is easy access to CSAM maybe there will be less abuse. I could see either case be true, or that the availability of such material does not change incidence of abuse st all.

This is actually my opinion but I have no hard data on this. Is it feasible to apply the same logic as with video games where realistic killing is depicted and the argument is that this doesn't make people killers in real life?

I think the argument is that the models are trained on real pics?

The other argument could be that it increases the chances of someone moving on from the consumption state to the abuse state.

One could argue that if we are smart enough to make this work, we could be smart enough to have the machines take over as well but I am not holding my breath :)

I am in the process of a breakup (scare) right now and realizing how much of my social support system is gone when it's attached to your spouse and obviously loyal. Not totally on topic but I have learned my lesson to actively pursue friendships from now on and cultivate them - and the place where you live obviously affects this in a great way.
