Obviously an AI will need to be monitoring your screen at all times.

This and people tend to respond to cognitive dissonance by rationalizing / repressing awareness. I've voted for less bad candidate, now I'll convince myself that was actually a good thing.

I have one drink most nights. At most it relaxes me a little, but mainly I just enjoy the flavor /sensory experience.

I understand the pleasures of the experience of getting drunk, but pursuing that is a losing proposition. Over time it gets harder to achieve the pleasurable effects and the negative effects come on faster.

(I meant to post this as a top level comment. Since I left it here I'll just add that I'm lucky enough to be someone who can stop, though there have been many times I didn't have the sense to. After drinking too much, my body tells me No the next day. I've known people who's body tells them to have another drink the next day. I've been lucky.)

When artists imagine new things, they don't generally ask people what those things are as if they must be a thing that really exists in the real world.

The animation you created does resemble something I've seen in, I think, a sci fi movie (I don't recall which). I've also seen, in real life, small desktop models resembling this (again I can't point you something specific, but I'm picturing it in brass). It reminds be somewhat of an astrolab, like https://p.turbosquid.com/ts-thumb/lT/AyGkQ1/TldU6igf/screenshot007/png/1546795156/1920x1080/fit_q87/55f4c2758f661655600a70a3859a1a46059d73cd/screenshot007.jpg but I'm pretty sure I've seen something that more closely resembles your animation.

It appears to say "RJ II". OP, are you adding this to paintings you post images of, or is it coming from your source? This was on another painting you posted an image of (different artist) a while back, I remember trying to use that to figure out the painter.

Here's another one: https://literature.cafe/post/32612302

I'm not sure "human" is a category that matters to trump. There's just him and everyone else.

Right. And both companies are going to make bank anyway. The fact that AAA game companies are greedy assholes that want ALL the money instead of just LOT of money should not get gamer sympathy.

Well enjoy all the enshittification. That to be free of that doesn't seem worth a few small problems boggles my mind.

Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.

Investigators will likely examine whether the door was being opened or closed when it detached,

... was the kicker for me

Ideally, outside, in nature. This too has been shown to have mental health benefits. Go walk in the woods.

If you don't because you think you have nothing worth stealing, consider that some joker can open your bag and set your combination to something else.
