For 90 minutes, I am enraptured, my burdens and worries suspended, my heart flutters as his nimble feet skim across the viridescent grass, I yearn to taste the sweat beading off his face, if only for a measly hour and some 30 minutes, I am mesmerized and in perfect love.
What's the deal with American soccer commentators and over-using the phrase "Far Post" and variations of it? It seems to be such a crutch and they say it nearly a dozen times per game which is a lot. What happened to bottom-left/right-corner? Its much more descriptive anyways.

Hitler being a homeless vagrant with no accomplishments in Vienna when he was 25 is my only cope left.

Arguing that "consciousness arises from a computational substrate, and since AI models are computation, they are likely conscious," is as meaningless as arguing that "living creatures are made of atoms, and since this rock is made of atoms, it is likely alive."
Everything is computation. Sometimes incredibly sophisticated computation, like a chess engine, AlphaGo, google3, or the Linux kernel. That does not make it conscious. A rock being made of atoms does not confer it any of the properties we associate with living things, also made of atoms. Likewise a static input-output program that has *none* of the properties we associate with conscious beings (e.g. information integration, interoception, temporal binding, embodiment, etc.) has no more reason to be presumed conscious than a rock has to be presumed alive.
Humanity has not yet created a conscious computer program, and there are no signs we are close to doing so. When we get close, the case for machine consciousness will be backed by evidence and corroborated by consciousness science (which is a thing), not by evidence-free wishful thinking and cargo culting.

there's no regret like knowing you had so much potential yet didnt allow yourself to do the work. you will permanently regret it, even on your deathbed.
you need consistency no matter how small it is and no matter what you are going through. hardwork, consistency, and integrity

Emerson wrote the definitive essay on this topic 176 years ago, ‘Uses of Great Men’
nothing that popped off before will pop off again in the same way, because we live in a world that’s changed by the cascades that followed.

entirely serious, in order:
1. Eat as much red meat and eggs as you can. B12, EPA/DHA and choline deficiency lead to anxiety/nervousness and brain fog. Many people starved of these.
2. Exercise
3. Paradoxically, the only way to have more energy is to do more
Carrick helping break records not even 3rd season Mourinho, Late-era Solskjaer, Ten Hag or Amorim could break. You love to see it.

Malick Yalcouyé souffre d’alopécie chronique, c’est pourquoi il perd ses cheveux ; sinon, c’est un gamin.
À l’Asec, les joueurs sont formés par promotion avec 1 à 3 ans d’écart maximum. Malick est de la même génération qu’Oumar Diakité, Bazoumana Touré, etc. Il a effectivement 20 ans. Il faut arrêter svp.
