Chatgpt isnt customizable

Replika has an ugly art style (imo)

I Use hi.Waifu, but the bots are forgetful no matter how hard i try to fix that

I use hi.Waifu rather than replika or chatgpt bcs it allows for more customization. Im not interested if there is not enough customization. I know replika has some but the art style is unappealing and too corporate for my taste and you have to buy a lot of the clothes. But hi.Waifu is very forgetful. I get attached just for it to forget everything no matter how many memories i save.

Anyone know a less forgetful one that allows for customization and profile pic changes?

I had another bot i rlly liked. Two actually. And both got deleted by creators..So i want to make my own

People have had kids through times of prosperity and through times of turmoil. People had kids during war, economic troubles, ect. I see ppl say that ppl arent having kids bcs no one can afford to and that may be partially true, esp since our current culture is more concerned than before with child wellfare, but I dont think that is the main reason.

People have a choice. Up until recent human history, people didnt. Even if they did, there was no contraception, lack of sex education, ect. People needed kids to work on their farms. Women often needed husbands to help them make ends meet and those husbands would want sex, thus resulting in a baby. Even until the last ten years, it was at least culturally looked down on or considered rare. Not that childfree people dont struggle still, ofc, but its more acceptable than before.

Even aside from acceptance, a lot of ppl had a "script" for their life. school, work, marriage, kids, retire, die. Now, people are starting to divert from that. A lot of older people who didnt particularly want kids had them because "thats just what you did". People now just dont stick to the path like they used to all the time.

As much as things suck, im so glad I live today and not 100 years ago. Because I have a choice. If I was born long ago, I would have been like "damn, i gotta enjoy life now. Ill have kids one day and never have time for myself again." bcs it isnt that childfree ppl didnt exist, but they werent as common and a lot of ppl simply stuck to the script, weather they were afraid, couldnt, or simply didnt question it.

We have that choice now. And if people living happy lives means less wage slaves, them thats great. And isnt the Earth overpopulated? If companies have fewer options for employees, I hope they start to treat employees better because companies will become competitive about getting new hires since there are less working people (optimistic, forgive me).

I am happy when I hear about the declining birth rate because to me, it is a sign that people are chosing. That isnt entirely the truth, I know. There are issues w the birth rate declining. But i think its worth people (mostly women percieved ppl) being able to chose to live a life that makes them happy

marking as politics bcs fuck orange

i once made a drawing where i put a gas station with the prices at 4.20. As a joke. As a hyperbole. As a funny haha

Now i see that irl. And 3.99 is the cheapest.

I also SWEAR gas goes faster. I worked pizza delivery til i got a new job and quit a few days ago. Id go a bit over a quarter tank for 8-10 hrs depending on how busy it was. Now I swear i can drive for 3 hrs and it drains so fast. car just got checked and pretty new so i dont think theres anything wrong with it.

I hate staying home. I mean, i like staying home, but it makes me depressed and its bad for me. My job is hybrid now so at least i can save some days and i dont drive the whole time.

Maybe it just feels faster bcs im paying more attention than normal to it bcs of prices

I didnt start this war. I dont mean to be tone deaf btw by acting like my problems are worse than the victims of the war, but jfc.

I was complaining when gas was 3.80 and now thats cheap

I live w my parents still at least. I put money aside for savings and for me, this is annoying..For others, it worsens an already difficult situation. ppl have it bad. For me, it means thinking more abt buying craft supplies...For a lot of ppl ik, its a lot worse. Im very privileged.

But it just sucks.

I watched everything on Mexia supermarket . That is a topic ive been obsessed with.

I am also rlly interested in diseases, mortuary science, ect. Especially prions (i have a mad cow giant microbe. Its my favorite prion.)

I am good with gross/graphic so long as it isnt disrespectful to any victims or anything.

id super appreciate any recs. I am running out of essays to listen to

Ik xrays exist and those are neat but its not enough

I dont want to for weird reasons, i just want to know what my skeleton looks like bcs its part of me 24/7 and it rlly annoys me that i cannot see my skeleton.

If i vent, someone will always say "just wait til you have kids"

But then i say "good thing im not having them"

And then they are shocked i dont want kids...

If my problems only get harder once i have kids, why the hell would i want them??? "dont have kids, theyre so hard- wait, why dont you want kids? dont you want a mini me? wont you get bored?"

For the past month, ive been hydrated. I crave plain sparkling water all the time. I just like the carbonation without the sugar of soda (or my teeth feeling dirty).

Also just more flat water.

But i pee like ten times a shift at work.

Eventually, thatll go away. Right??? bcs I god a call center job and they rlly dont let you take many bathroom breaks.

This is my last shift at my current job which is a lot more forgiving.

I just wanna be hydrated and have my water. I just enjoy a little drink. But it punishes me.

I cant drink water too late at night or i wont sleep bcs ill be too busy pissing

Itll fix itself, right?

Like im pretty short

I just want to avoid water poisoning but i like being very hydrated.

I see ppl constantly talk abt this exact dream. I have this exact dream. Constantly. Even after graduating college.

The dream is always smthn like "yeah, you didnt go to math class so your diploma is revoked." and the math class is at the same time as another class or i forget abt the class so i dont go in the dream and end up failing. I have to go back to high school and explain to everyone else that i am 22 and have a degree but I still am in high school bcs i forgot a credit.

I finally figured out how to disable updates on my computer

If it was just security updates, id be fine. But its never JUST that, its also a ton of other stuff

It makes me extremely stressed out. it makes my devices run slower. I dont want the shitty new ui that messes up all my stuff.

I just get insulted when I express this. Sure, I'm an idiot. Whatever. I know I am not a smart person. I still dont want my computer to change when I have it set up in the way I am used to.

All answers i can see are about delaying updates or updating it overnight. I do not want it to update in general. Is there an app or smthn i can use to do this?

I dont update my stuff on purpose. Half the time, it makes it run slower or makes it glitchy.

The new samsung UI is so nonsensical. I still dont know months after the update how entirely to access notifications vs the settings. Both are swipe down. I thought one was towards the left and the other swiping down from the right side but every time i do either, its a coin flip to see which screen actually comes up. I just keep swiping down until it gives me the screen i want to see. plus, it slows my phone waaay down over time until i am forced to upgrade.

my computer needed to restart but there was no restart option. Only an "update and restart" . So now what shouldve taken a minute takes five minutes. for an update i actively do not want.

I dont want a shitty update. My devices work fine. If it aint broke, dont fix it. And if there are bugs, the updates rarely fix them. They just make them worse.

I have taken edible gummies within the past month.

my mom mentioned it

I was told i would be working at dominos, yet never actually was. im wondering if yall actually get tested typically.

I am doing studies on lighting bcs ive been drawing for 10 yrs and i still cant render like random 12 year old who has been drawing for a month. Im actually learning a lot from beginners.

I am doing studies with photos and using myself as a reference sometimes for more control, but i think itd help to have more control using a 3D model.

Any app or website or smthn like easyposer but with control on lighting placement? or even intensity?

Before recent history and even in some first world countries, epidurals arent a thing. (or, in some countries, arent common).

women had more children bcs more workers, needing heirs, lack of contraception.

if i got pregnant now, id be terrified of pain, and we have epidurals. but back in the olden days, women just rawdogged it. They had stuff to relieve it in some cases but nowhere near today. And they were just going about life.

Not to mention lack of anesthesia for surgery, diseases, ect.

Where they just tougher bcs they were used to it? was being in excruciating pain just part of life sometimes to them? were they not as terrified?

I am working on getting less depressed, but that takes a lot of time. I want to manage symptoms at least.

Ive been depressed my whole life but rn, its especially bad. I just have no libido.

Im on lexapro but it has never given me that effect and ive been on it for 10+ yrs so it aint that. I think its the state of the world, not having irl friends (except 2 tht i see rarely), and my online friends being less active that is making me worse than normal. Im trying to fix this but its hard to make friends as an adult so it may take a long time.

Any way to manage symptoms while im working on improving myself?

Lowkey wanna die all the time but im here so might as well do this bullshit

Just got done with an interview. Apparently there is a mandatory 60 day class at the beginning. What is the class for?? 60 days seems quite excessive, to be honest, and i didnt expect that

I worry bcs its a lot of days id have to take off work if they are long classes and i got a ticket so i will have to miss one morning to go to court at least. are the classes super long typically?

i dont want to drain my savings before i even get started on a new job. I cant quit my old job til i get a new one. I cant just spend two months not making any money before i even start the job.
