Check if your local library has cool things to rent like ice cream makers or fishing equipment etc

Recently realized mine has a ton of random stuff that I’d never buy available for rent…other examples of stuff they have…ukulele, crutches, projector, dehydrator, sewing machine

using ur local library

ARTHUR WAS RIGHT In addition to physical books, e-books, and audiobooks, you can even borrow movies, seasons of TV shows, music CDs, board games, puzzles, musical instruments, tools, and art supplies at some libraries! My local branch hosts meetings of a ukelele club, a gardening club, and a craft club, and they also teach computer classes for free!

YOU HAVEN’T! IT’S TERRIFYING BY DESIGN

I fully believe that the AI chatbots are very intentionally being pushed as an educational/social/creative “tool” to make people less able to have creative and critical thought. if we put all of that energy into something as convenient as chatgpt, whether it’s to help write an essay or use as a “therapist,” we think we’re satiating that human urge to be creative. Creativity is at its most powerful when people can pull from the discomfort and inspiration of the human experience, which can lead to critiques towards the oligarchs running the country right now. convenience will always win people over when they’re exhausted from working in this late stage of capitalism. Also, it would be incredibly easy to inject the bots with propaganda and misinformation.
