Perhaps the Egyptians had it right: just worship them and see what comes

Cats are amongst the great winners of civilization: not an animal that is used - abused, to be realistic - to grow edible body parts or supply us with secretation of their organs or so, but only their hunting skills were used by humans, which to a cat basically is playing and getting rewarded by cat gets to eat the rat, and other than that, we just expect them to hang out with us on the bed, purr, eventually scratch or bite, and be pampered and spoiled by us. I definitely spoiled my current cat, but as having fun is the entire task she has to fulfill in life to make me happy, ... and make her happy is, of course, one of the most important tasks assigned to me, ...

“Gaslighting doesn’t exist, you made it up because you’re f*****g crazy.” Anyone know that reference?

My cat uses his fluffy tummy for personal gain. When he wants face rubs, his favorite form of attention, and isn't getting them, he will flop down and show me his very fluffy and soft tummy. I cave, and I pet the tummy, whereupon he gently catches my hand in his paws (no claws, he's a gentleman) and moves it up to his face for face rubs. He does this pretty consistantly when I'm busy and don't pet him on request, and it's 100% effective.

My cats make me open the door for them at least 375 times a day, I complain, yet I keep doing it, what is wrong with me:)

she also trained op inadvertently lmao (since they said they smiled whenever she clicked it)

This reminds me of the time I had to spend over a week in the hospital. All the speakers in the building played a little chime sound every time a baby was born there. I was born in that hospital too, and every time I heard that sound it felt like a little brother or sister saying hi. It still makes me smile thinking of that sound to this day. :)

It does work. But you don't have to use a clicker. If you have a sound like say tiny bells like you hear at Christmas, and you put some on a bracelet,and you ring them in the above fashion, not only does it work as above, but you can set that sound, whatever is happy for you, to play before anxiety raising events ( I have jingles on my door because people knocking upsets me sometimes) and when you hear them ring,. That release of happy brain will help. Careful. The reverse is more true. It's why the horror movies can scare us so much with just sound.

I went to a therapist for worrying. She had me put a rubber band on my wrist. Whenever I caught myself worrying I was to snap the rubber band which creates a painful feedback. Then mentally I tell myself to stop worrying. Within a week the snap would stop the worrying right away. Within a month I did not even have to snap the rubber band. I just thought about the band. Then at night before bedtime I would grab a smooth stone (My worry stone) and do all my worrying at once. Eventually worrying just stopped altogether. Turns out it is a total waste of time. My new manta is "Worry is not Preparation".

Pavlova also works. As does chocolate. ;-)

I had one the other day that was , 'select all images with bicycles'. None had bicycles! One had a motorcycle, which let to me overthinking if a motorcycle is in fact a bicycle [with a motor] or not. Googling 'bicycle' didn't help at all! "A bicycle is a human-powered or motor-powered assisted, pedal-driven...". Well, a motor cycle has pedals, you use them to drive it... 10 MINUTES I pondered this question! Turns out that Captcha feels a motorcycle is NOT a bicycle.

Data science is developed enough that even an entry level person can create a bot that can beat most "id all the xxx" human tests. All you need is the right training data set. Kaggle has one with 113,000 annotated traffic lights to teach your tool how to id them.

I hate those things. They never work for me.

It's even weirder, because...some AI and bots could probably easily recognize a boat.

Next we’re gonna select the images of humans who would oppose robot overlords

Everything can be turned into a mushroom.

My brain always reads it as non refundable

Total agreement here.

It's a truffle.

I’m with you!

Black. Then. White are. All i see. In my in-fan-cy. Red and yel-low then came to be. Reach-ing out to me. Lets me see. - fun with Fibonacci, Lateralus by Tool.

Rate higher please. This is creativity and must be stamped with authority.

Lateralus vibe.

Bad a*s poem. 💕

I so appreciate this.

I thought this would be intuitive enough not to need any mnemonic tricks. I mean, the bigger side is on the bigger side.

It takes my focused concentration not to sing the alphabet, so this deserves a pass.

In my elementary school it was "chicken goes Gosh, what a big number"... Do that too

I don’t understand the need for mimetic devices here — the symbol makes it self evident; the larger number is on the larger side.

It looks like a squished letter L for less than
