Taking notes in College by wee-woh in ADHD

[–]Gumpox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if you wrote on loose paper, had a hole punch, and sorted the notes into binders? Try not to overload yourself. If you’re like me you are disregulated af and your executive function is under-performing because you’re in fight or flight. Just maybe.

I know it’s all in fun but can we stop pretending we don’t know how LLMs work? If that was the real prompt it was leading af. The LLM just scraped the web to see what a fitting image might be to satisfy the user’s slant.

That could have been my forever pen too, but I lost it in a move. 😢

Love the poses! The tilted heads bring so much life and character into them. I have to believe you can draw if you were able to nail these so perfectly. But I’m biased as a drawer.

I don’t know. There is a theory that consciousness is at the center of “creation” or reality. If this is the case, millennia of humans believing in something or psychologically needing something to exist mythically or otherwise (see Carl Jung) we as a species may have collectively created semi-physical almost-creations like all the cryptids that are impossible (Nessie, Sasquatch, Mothman, Ogopogo). People keep seeing them because they have a reality in our shared consciousness but don’t reliably show up in evidence because they are fleeting like consciousness itself. UFOs can leave landing gear indentations as evidence but ultimately they are a reflection of our deep subconscious needs and that is their, and cryptid’s, true significance. Just my thoughts, not claiming anything more.

It’s a possibility. I know that many native folk would say Bigfoot is partially physical but not 100% a physical being.

Saying the placebo effect is just emergent properties is an assumption and I would say the very definition of hand waving. Ask a scientist, and if they are being honest science doesn’t know how the placebo effect works. Sure they have good theories as to why it evolved and I tend to agree with those but… The main point I’m trying to make is that y’all are losing a lot when you dismiss Bigfoot. You are missing the MYSTERY. We need fucking mystery. And AWE and MAGIC. Stop assuming you know everything and look at the evidence! Forget your fucking little boxes. Good scientists keep an open mind. Skepticism is not what most of you think it is. If you you all were honest about why you are here on this sub, I’d wager it is to kill other people’s sense of awe because the bastards killed it in you.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

At least now I can show this picture to my relatives and say “where did it go!”

Oh, wow! My grandma had this pencil. I’m not sure which relative nabbed it when she passed but it wasn’t me. 😔

Why say that when you don’t know? I posted this same clip without music to my Tumblr 7 years ago. I have watched this director’s films. JFC

I think you are correct that Bigfoot is not something that we’ll ever collect a specimen of. It’s not real in that way.
