I am in the hopeful side. Maybe an ASI can quickly analyze our issues and interfere. ASI might spit out any plans to improve everyone’s life but if the people in power ignore all of the advice because they’ll no longer be in power, nothing will really change except now there’s an ASI using huge amounts of electricity.
Considering how everything’s going, I honestly think an ASI won’t make anything worse happen than the current state of affairs.
Until humanity unites there is no ‘we’ who can do anything. We are currently too busy polarising, fighting and reinforcing poverty. If AGI ever arrives, it’ll most likely be weaponised or used to make rich people richer.
If ASI runs out of control, we can only hope it’ll be a nice god and doesn’t immediately see humans are a disease and try to kill us off.
It’s, at this point, hubris to assume AGI/ASI wants anything to do with us.
I’ll always be extra fond of Blastoise. The first game I played was Blue on my GameBoy Color back in the early zeroes. I was around 8 years old at the time so my only frame of reference was the anime and friends who played Red, Yellow or Gold.
I chose Squirtle for my starter and did the first playtrough until my Blastoise was level 100.
Back then I only skimmed the surface of the first game. I have done it again numerous times and I gotta say I thought the birds were super cool. Moltres was hard to miss in Victory Road, Zapdos was easy to find if you knew where to look (Power Plant) but Articuno took some effort (Seafoam Islands). Even Mewtwo was an easier find even though you’d have to plough through level 81 Kadabra’s to get to it. So that’s why Articuno is high on my list as well.
But the one that I always employ, the one I always want in my party, is Kadabra. Considering its versatility and the sheer power of Psychic type moves, it’s essentially one of the most powerful Pokémon you can get part early in most games. Gyarados has similar traits, but it takes far too long to get it to do powerful moves without TMs/HMs.
Thank you for reading my essay.
I think most defensive midfielders have committed fouls they aren’t necessarily proud of. What you don’t see in the image is that the ball is actually quite close. This was not an attack on Alonso per se, although it was not at all a clean attempt either.
Thing is, with football you have the kind of player that just doesn’t play with finesse and relies on being tough in duels, no backing down. De Jong was one of those.
These days, especially with VAR, you see a lot more deliberate kicks to Achilles tendons, knees, thighs, that get awarded direct reds. De Jong should’ve had a red card that day. But a red somewhere in your career shouldn’t mean you can never work in football again.

Dunno if just generally dysfunctional or if I might have ADHD
In the Netherlands if you go over 70 too long you’ll end up in the water before too long.
Well I’m not saying you should understand this while blasting by it at 70 kph
Ah yeah my bad. This one is for brommers and snorfietsen
It’s simple, really. It depicts which vehicles are allowed beyond the sign. For some reason cycling is also not allowed.
The camera means that there is an automatic license plate checker in place in case you ignore it.
Yeah so I had this as well. Every day or so I’d get locked out, had to do the sms unlock thing which sometimes wouldn’t work.
What I did is I added an alias to the account, made it the primary and removed login priviliges from the ‘old’ one.
For all the things you still use the address, it’ll be fine. It’s just MS based logins that’s you’d have to change.
The monkey, of whom I’m wondering if it can see my ears.
