Well, the expression does come from an age where it was more commonplace that the artisan, the workman, the technician, would be making their own tools. Takes on new poetic meaning, in this age and economy.

“A poor workman blames his tools”
this is fine, in that first glance, and then you think about it for a moment…
so much more going on in the maths, in what’s presented, and beyond,
utterly confounding the point it sets out to make.
Alas, that does not happen. There’s always more workahol. Not always more energy. Burn out is no fun.
First time I tried to buy weed, I was sold mixed herbs, by the french exchange student. Cheeky git. I’m still pleased with my effort, as a 13 year old. First opportunity, taken. Pity it was bunk. Good lesson, learned early.
The groceries that come out of the plastic shopping bag?
They’re the family of the plastic shopping bag?
So when we’re in the shop, filling the bag, are we impregnating the bag, and the pregnancy lasts for the duration of the journey home, and a typical healthy birth involves removing the groceries from the bag, and putting them in the cupboard and fridge and freezer and fruit-bowl etc.
Then sometimes there’s a more difficult pregnancy and labour… like whatever’s going on there… up tree branches!? And still there are a family of groceries in there?
… I think I should stop over-thinking this.
It is an eccentric view, to entertain the invertedness of the mushroom, compared to e.g. mammals. The brain, and the digestive system is inside out! So it’s like we are all inside the mushroom’s digestive system. And inside it’s brain.
So instead of being left alone to survive a while, I’ll have cluster B personality types seeking to use me up as fast as possible?
I think I’d rather be treated like a bag of cheap weed, thnx.

1·24 days agoRemoves [your first step to be able to remedy a problem] your awareness of what’s going on around you in the real world. [Many people feel very unnerved by it because of this aspect.]
… I was going to share a link here to whatever first video I found of any of the many videos of thieves sneaking into people’s homes while they’re oblivious on VR, but someone has created a VR game called thief sneak, where the wearer of VR can play a thief sneaking into people’s homes, making it too hard to find the videos of that really happening. The potential for irony now, seems obvious…
Anyhoo, beyond that flooding-the-zone, plenty else goes wrong, born of that aspect, and more. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=VR+fails

53·26 days agoI wonder if it’s more like VR.
People don’t like losing control over their technology in reality.
People want to retain control over their technology, like it’s a tool.
Virtual reality removes awareness and agency in the real world.
Same as agents do.
You feel like a dead murderer? ?

What shall you feel like each of the =>26 times?


Glad to upvote that. lol
