I have a 1 hour video from a digital artist/ programmer that will tell you essentially why it being lifeless matters.

Essentialy, everything before AI was either of mechanistic natural beauty, derived from biological chemical, physical processes, like the leaf of a plant the winding of rivers the shape of mountains etc. ,or it was made by human desicions, there was intentionality thought and perseverance behind every sentence you read, every object you held or owned, every depiction you would look at.

And this made the thing made by humanity inherently understandable as a result of human descion making, creativity, you might not agree with the causes and the outcomes of those decisions, but there was something there to retrace, and this retracing this understanding, made it beautifull, unique or interesting.

Same with the natural objects and phenomenon, you could retrace their existence to causes, causes that unfold a world in their own right, leading you to ask questions about their existence, their creation, their process.

In this retracing, these real links to people, to land and to nature lies the real beauty. The life so to say is them being part of this network for you to take a peek into, through their art, their creation, their mere existence.

Now we have a third category a thing or text or image that exists solely because an imitation machine, an AI is able to crate it, and it can fulfill some profit motive, there is no thought and no intentionality behind this writing this art and so on, it's a result of statistical models which are built on what existed in the real world, and robs most if not all of these building blocks by just existing. It fills their place, it takes the energy they needed, the intelligence and decision-making they can create, and uses it to replace them, gradually over time.

And it doesn't really give back, it doesn't create value in the sense that we can retrace and understand what it makes, it's a statistical result, there are no causes to peek into besides pretty boring math, and a collection of data it was trained on, a collection so big and varied that looking at it's entirety might as well just be looking at everything, it tells us nothing, it doesn't lead us to ask what there is behind it in the same way.

Also most likely goes at the most crowded time for some reason.

Idk if I'm just lucky but even what are supposed to be super busy touristy things I've mostly been able to see among fairly chill/ no crowds. And this includes Rome, Venice, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Berlin, Amsterdam among others, and in most of these visits to their respective cultural/ architectural/historical hotspots.

Like literally just go in April or early October I guess. Or like at night. Something like this.

Naja das ganze sieht als gegeben an das der Hausbesitzer 1. Ein Auto besitzt 2. Keinen anderen Stellplatz hatt welcher nicht in der Öffentlichkeit ist

Das zwangsweise bauen von Parkplätzen oder Garagen wenn eine Auto Nutzung gar nicht geplant ist wird quasi über Wohnraumpreise auch die Allgemeinheit abgestraft, nur weil sich Teile der Gesellschaft leben ohne Pkw nicht vorstellen können. Gleiches gilt für Gewerbe etc.

Die japanische Variante macht ja Stellplatz Nachweis bei der Zulassung notwendig nicht beim Haus Bau.

Ich hab gestern beim lesen das erste Mal ernsthaft Jazz gehört, the Köln Concert- Keith jarrett, scheint mir zu Recht beliebt. Keine Sekunde langweilig, trotzdem irgendwie schlüssig, ich habe keine Ahnung von Jazz und Musik generell also weiß ich das jetzt nicht so gut zu beschreiben...

Wir haben Silvester Stille Post extrem gespielt, war in der Gruppe künstlerisch unbegabter in welcher ich mich befand äußerst lustig, quasi gartic Phone auf foliertem Papier, mit zumeist zufällig gewählten prompts.

Bakemonogatari 2 zuende gelesen, lustige und clevere Dialoge ohne Pause mit dem ganzen abberation Set Dressing mit dem man sich ja schon vertraut ist wenn man es durch den ersten Band geschafft hat. Nadeko ist was schwächer als narrativ im Vergleich zum vorhergängiem (wenn man durch die Anime Serie allerdings durch ist weiß man ja,sie kriegt auch irgendwann ihren vernünftigeren Abschluss).

Both are primarily a means for profit, as most tasks accomplished with a car are more reasonably done a different way. The efficiency of road based motorised transport is so abysmal that it almost doesn't make sense.

The only reason we rely on it currently to such an extend is because our entire economy is highly irrational, except if seen from a supremely privileged point of view.

Well there is humour in having a digital version of a thousand(s) year old (bar/drinking) game win most innovative gameplay at least.

Jup a phone, which is a computer, which can't easily run arbitrary software just shouldn't exist, and if it has to I don't want to use it.

These days you don't even need custom firmware or root to do most things (except debloat/degoogle). Which I probably should degoogle but it's a project for a later day (a day where a home server + reasonable backups are already setup)

Well for me it's almost the opposite you'd have to lay down a solid salary to get me to use an iPhone as my daily phone so there seems to be some fundamental philosophical differences.

And flagship Samsung looses like 40-60% price in 18months even though nowadays they are fine for 5+years.

Imo buying new phones is like scamming yourself essentially.

Ich bin bei mir bei der Ausbildungsstelle fündig geworden mit relativ kurzer Wartezeit und relativ entspanntem Prozedere. Ist sicher für die meisten hier auch ne ganz gute Anlaufstelle weil an solchen Praxen eher jüngere Therapeuten zu finden sind, ist glaube ich gut so mehr oder weniger in der selben Lebensphase wie der Therapeut zu sein.

In Köln nennt sich das avt Institutsambulanz sollte sich aber auch in anderen Großstädten ähnliches finden lassen.

Olive oil, butter and coconut oil are the ones that get used in my kitchen, none of it has to do with what you discussed in the OP, the reason for using them is basically flavour above everything else. I also have roasted sesame and pumpkin seed oil for finishing.
