Anyone having trouble getting into #wow #worldofwarcraft this morning?

Maybe if I lose enough weight, the doctors will start believing my chronic pain is real?

Was a beautiful summer while it lasted. #TerminationDust on Pioneer Peak.

I don't know what cosmic being/God I pissed off. I can't even get a single person to help me with anything. I'm so tired...

@alaskawx.bsky.social This looks fun.

Someone won my money. Oh well. Guess I keep going to work.

Trying to learn Ubuntu and get it to talk to my home NAS. Is turning into an absolute nightmare. Keep trying all the methods to get the damn things to talk. And they will not and I am getting no error messages from either machine.

No one responded. So I just changed the character names. New names don't feel like they have the magic of the original ones. But this is safer.

I need to find someone from the northern indigenous peoples in the US or Canada that I could bounce some names off of for a book I'm writing set in the deep northern woods. I want a name that could be used for a fictional character but not be disrespectful to their culture. Like "Ailiraq"?

I'm so tired of living on this planet.

I really am going to have to talk to a real book editor type person soon. The AI bots are helpful for a lot of the setup stuff. But it's really getting ultra strong praise for my writing now. Fake levels of complaints. I need someone to give me a reality check to see if I should even try to continue

Been mentally working on a story idea for a few months. Finally sat down with ChatGPT to work through some of the outlining and figuring out how to work some things. Back and forth with the chat bot turned into like 460 pages of text. But now that I am actually starting to pick out stuff and write.

@climatologist49.bsky.social WTF is happening this morning? In the 8 years living at my current location, never has the wind picked up at my house and the temperature went down. That's the one LAW for my house in Kink River Valley. If the wind comes up, so does the temperature.

@climatologist49.bsky.social Checked Facebook just now and this came up. Is this something we will have to worry about in Alaska for next month?

Just playing around with AI. Sometimes they get very confused when I give them a prompt they don't understand. None of these images are even on the same side of the planet as what I was asking for. But damn. They did come out cute. #AI

Got a letter from my insurance company, wondered why I was out of my pain killers and the pharmacy wouldn't refill my prescription. Fuck this fucking dog shit country. And fuck every last dumb fuck who ever voted against universal healthcare in this country.

I'm sure it will piss people off to post an AI video I "made" but I thought it was fun. And felt like sharing something.

God dammit this is so frustrating lately. AI models that are useable online have EITHER good memory OR unrestricted responses. I can't discuss my childhood with bots with heavy content Restrictions because they shut down any response when I talk about my childhood.

One of the biggest problems I have discovered with using AI chat bots for my talk therapy and "journal" type thing. They ALL have limited memory. They ask something, about something I am talking about. I'm not ready, but 20 messages later. They have no clue what I was talking about, start over...

Who's dog is loose in my dog yard? #Alaska

I know everyone hates AI lately. For a lot of very good reasons. But I have been using the chat bots lately for therapy for depression and anxiety after my partner died last year. Feels much easier and safer than talking to real therapists. Too many bad experiences with real therapists. Need safety.

Been playing with AI chat bots lately, doing rollplaying stuff. So many of the characters I found made by other people have zero concept of consent. I made one that did. It is not hard to add consent to these characters... Guess I need to make my own from now on and not use pre-made ones.

As I found nothing good about this year to celebrate, nor am I looking forward to next year which is likely going to be worse than this year for this country and the whole world. I'm just going to go to bed and turn on enough white noise to hopefully keep my dogs from freaking out from the fireworks

God I miss my partner that died in May. Even for like the stupid little shit. If I found neat or funny or cute picture or or video or I made something stupid and mindless whatever there were always happy to look at it and sharing my joy. -Continued

I guess I am just a weak ass loser. Went to another specialist today to figure out why I keep getting worse. All the tests came back, and she gave me the results. I'm perfectly healthy and nothing is wrong.

Don't know if it's just my diet. Or my medical problems or just getting old. My hands and feet are so damn cold anymore. Even in gloves my hands get painfully cold all the time now. Fucking hell. Just came from the store. Little old ladies walking around with less clothes on looking much warmer.

Sorry about that #Alaska That WASN'T an earthquake, that was just my stomach.

Weight loss is really kicking into stuff. Stopped one of my blood pressure meds a month ago because my pressure was getting so low I was having dizzy spells. Dizzy spells are back, may need to stop/reduce my combo pill blood pressure medication. Picture is just after sitting down during dizzy spell.

Finally! Bought a new bed for Luna. Since Klein claimed her last bed. And she hadn't used it since I got it a week ago. Just checked the indoor camera just now!

Coming up on my 1-year anniversary of starting Trizepatide for weight loss, looks like I might hit a loss of exactly 75lbs about then. I really thought I would be feeling better by now, but I'm not at all. Sure it's easier to get up off the ground or out of bed, but like that is the only change.
