South Korea? Affordable? What?

@netikras it indeed is

@jestdotty probably, probably not

whip!

also, psychology is meaningless BS — psychiatry and neurobiology is where it's at

@jestdotty let's start with what you're good at, or at least with which skills you have. Then, let's get you a good psychiatric help. After that let's talk

@jestdotty just pick the thing YOU want to achieve: getting a degree? Writing a compiler? Being really good at chess? Writing a book?
And I’ll get you there. I’ll eliminate all distractions and traps created by capitalists to keep the populace uneducated and underachieving

@jestdotty the difference is that I empower you to do what you really want

@retoor same mentality here

@retoor pixelhunter crops your pics to popular social media formats, centering the interesting part. bear in mind, I made it hype up AI in 2021, way before it was mainstream. AI is provided by an external API, and I say so in the hero section.

@retoor I appreciate you immediately sinking your (admittedly sharp) teeth into my UI. you will be the second person after my autistic wife to have an opportunity to demolish my new project's UI too

@retoor ah, wait

I forgot how it worked. See those circle checkboxes on pics? If you select multiple pics like this, this button will download them.

your point still stands though — it's confusing as hell. this product was made in six days in manic state. it all made perfect sense then.

every single last bit of my mental fuel is now diverted to my new project, the magnum opus I'm working on for 6 months already, that is unprecedented in its scale and quality. no one ever did what I'm about to do.

every minute spent on pixelhunter is a minute not spent on my new product

@retoor thanks :D and your link doesn't link and your video doesn't video

@retoor pixelhunter processes a lot of pics every day without any involvement or advertisement.

@retoor thx for the feedback. this button works and downloads all cropped pics when you upload yours. I won't touch this website, because it's a part of my experiment to prove a point — I believe that you can build a working, good-enough product once and make it work without any amendments indefinitely. Pixelhunter operates without changes since 2021. It had recently celebrated 1 TB of pics uploaded.

if you can fucking work, then fucking work. If you can't and you need to rest, then fucking rest, for as long as you need to. scrolling away on your phone is neither of those things.

just to beat that social media insta reals kardashian tiktok brainrot gossip doomscrolling ai slop bullshit out of you

@retoor

> He gets paid what he is worth now

a crayon?

@retoor not just pixelhunter, but https://pixelhunter.io

@12bitfloat this was a reference to “my country sold its soul to you motherfuckers” from Canada's Stephen Paul Taylor's song

@antigermanist all people smell bad two weeks after you bury them

@retoor I actually never met him

@retoor what's mom

@retoor what's dad

when you sold your soul to the US

@retoor awww thanks

so I had a terrible experience with a bipolar friend of a friend, but my bipolar wasn't even thought about back then — I never saw a psychologist, let alone a psychiatrist. I took no meds whatsoever and was very fragile. We _immediately_ were like oil and water.

Now though, I have a very good bipolar friend, and I mean very good. We were good even before I figured out my treatment.

My treatment scheme of five different meds is rock solid — I'm as productive as a "healthy" person since at least May 2023. We're talking working, building my own projects in my spare time, and having time for hobbies.

I have issues, and a LOT of them, but they're PTSD-related, not bipolar. They can be put into words, they never change and they're very specific. You can't sync me :D

@retoor after that, you have to try VERY hard to mess up so bad that I decide to cut ties with you :D

@retoor don't worry about it. The more I know someone, the more tolerant I am to their imperfections, because they inevitably get more tolerant to mine (otherwise we wouldn't have been hanging out with each other at all). I can't tell if it will “click” with you or not — I have to talk to you in person to know that — but if it won't, rest assured I'll tell you. So if we see each other, and we decide that we can be friends, it means I sniffed you and decided to accept you

@retoor you are a person. A weird one tho :D

@retoor I imagine it trains on people's convos, despite the bs their creators probably say (I have no idea, didn't read their eula). if you really think about it, pretending that you care about someone when the only conversation medium you have is text is trivial, because textual displays of kindness are all standardized. same keywords, same shit

anyone can write ai that simulates a basic normie chat mate

either myself or my wife (or almost any of my friends) will break an ai like that immediately — you have to be someone special to even hang out with us. you can even be dumb or depressed or apathetic, just be someone with a stance and a mindset, someone with real emotions, not a generic excuse for a human being that will probably betray anyone given the slightest incentive

one can disagree with me all they want, yet I'll know a PERSON when I see one

I'm gonna cry tears of joy

my god, it's so comfortable

I feel embraced, as if someone who loves me is holding me, but i'm a little child
