Missed a couple of dreams

Missed a few dreams because I had not logged in with my personal id on the laptop I am reviewing right now. These were quite immersive and colourful ones. Urban exploration has reached deep into my subconsciousness, where I explore decaying cities with interesting constructions, and document them with photos on my smartphone. Now this mental model of both the phone and the camera and the UI has all been sharpened, so things like photos not being saved, the device being an odd shape or the UI being off no longer occur, and I do not get lucid. I remember exploring a temple city with a tank yesterday. 

Today morning I saw some beautiful sights. One was of solitary glowing trees of bright bejewelled colours and textures like rubies and sapphires in fields of light or clouds. Another was lots of tiny blinking small glowing particles filling the sky and making different patterns like the murmurations of swarming starlings. Woke up feeling pretty elated.

Newbie journos are the worst

 What I hate is idiot reporters not looking up the phrases of what they mean. If you are a writer, there are two things that you need to do before writing 1. Read and 2. Consult a dictionary. If you are not in the habit of 1 and 2 then you should not be writing, you are better off opening up a momo stall or a beauty parlour. 

X breaks silence on Y... there was no silence if X is just talking about it. Stop using. Use single quotes not double quotes. If you use 'Exclusive' in your headline, that just means the rest of the content on your site is copied and shitty. Even worse is quoting the exclusive story of another site, that's just a shitty site copying from another shitty site making a biofilm of shit. (Note: This is not the same as a biopic). Stop using AI especially if the adjectives and descriptions are wonky. A sequel with a gap of 20 years from the predecessor does not continue right where the previous movie left off. Fuck it Im going home. 

I need to get back to my website

 I got all excited and made a website, but I am not getting inspired enough to add new stories. When I initially started it I was deeply interested in space without spaceflight, but my work requires me to dwell into spaceflight all the time. Anyway, I have decided on a new approach, which will hopefully work. 

Have also been watching all the Star Trek episodes back to back, and now only the original series is left, after having gone through The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space 9 and Enterprise. I guess among all of these Voyager is my favorite, and I like DS9 and Enterprise more than The Next Generation, so I am not sure how much I will like the original series. Might just pick up Prime for a couple of months to watch Picard. In the middle of the second season of Enterprise right now. 

I also enjoyed vibe coding for a while, but not anymore. The AI kept messing up perfectly fine code.

Swiggy delivery boy just gave me dieting advice

 Swiggy really needs to train its uneducated workforce of idiot delivery boys better. North India is full of retards who are very willing to give out of domain, unasked for advice. This asshole is giving me paani puri and telling me that I should not eat gol gappe in winter season for some health reason. I pretended to not listen to the idiot. I wanted to yell 'Who the fuck asked you?', but I ignored him and concentrated on my other order. 

The problem is not just this one idiot, everyone in Delhi is very willing and ready to give their advice and talk about the most inane, personal details. For example in office cab the driver was telling all the workers how he does not like to sleep with the bedsheet over his head. The remaining idiots in the cab were also very willing to engage in this conversation. 

Another time a taxi driver advised my colleague that 'your beauty is your biggest enemy, and you don't understand it yet.' I mean who the fuck asked you? Another time some young 16 year old kid at a tapri looked at my long hair and said 'Sir ladies jaise dikhte ho', I smiled, flashed the V sign and went home, and he was utterly confused by my simple reaction. This long hair attracts a ton of comments, one uniformed dog in metro checkin made me go through ladies queue. Another uniformed dog told me that it makes my neck weak. 

I mean all of these uneducated idiots have stuffed dust in their brains, and that makes them going around spreading that nonsense to everyone. I feel they get stomach ulcers if they do not perpetuate their ignorance to others. Turning wheat into useless noise is a hate crime against the fertile Earth. Living in Delhi is making me increasingly racist against everyone in North India.
