This picture is wonderful, especially the 3rd to last point. If I find myself feeling upset/disagreeing with someone, I try to imagine myself in their shoes, and/or assume that I'm either misunderstanding or being misunderstood, which can be calmly resolved.

I have not eaten breakfast today but will probably have malt-o-meal which is a wheat breakfast like grits, I love it because I am particular about food textures, can't stand the feel of soft/soupy things so I like to make mine extra thicc and add brown sugar+cinnamon+pecans. Later today I will start a large meal prep of some marinated tofu, i got all my favorite ingredients (mirin, fresh ginger+garlic, hoisin sauce) so I'm pretty excited for that :)

I want to be a cybersecurity analyst focused on AI because I think it's massively dangerous in all the obvious ways, but new threat vectors are constantly evolving, and too many people are being hurt (one is too many). I want to stop AI from hurting more people, and there's no realistic way to close Pandora's Box.

That segues well into the next thing because I would like to be known someday for my fight against AI. I will fight until the technology is globally regulated enough to keep humanity safe, as long as I live. I think my words could maybe inspire people if I wasn't so hopelessly awkward irl. I consider myself to be well-spoken but only with individuals or small groups, and only as a result of having extrrrrrrrreme anxiety relating to being misunderstood lmao

I think the most important thing is empathy and seeing other humans as a reflection of one's self. We are all waves from the same ocean; rising, cresting, crashing. Hurt people hurt people, and when I see someone acting in a way I find distasteful I try to remember to ask myself what could make me act like that, and if I come up with "nothing" then I have to think harder (I made a comment a little while ago calling someone a sociopath because their comment was upsetting, but using that word myself made me feel bad so every once in a while I go to their profile and leave upvotes on nice things they said because I feel a need to see the good in people). Sometimes people experience trauma that leads them to have a warped worldview, and we are all walking our own path.

I don't really care about celebrities and that culture of award shows and such. I have many favorites when it comes to different forms of art, and yes some are popular to a degree but most of them are unrecognized by such organizations. It's just a popularity contest, and I decided as a kid that popularity has near-zero bearing on how I experience quality in the context of art. My youtube algorithm regularly serves me recommendations of new channels with less than 10k subs, which I find to be the sweet spot for finding a channel to watch grow. There's something incredibly satisfying to me about watching someone's art and technique grow and evolve as the years pass.

I really care about empathy and love, and I'm getting the feeling that's pretty unpopular these days, more so than people think. Even people who are outwardly full of love can sometimes have so much hate inside when I don't expect it. Not hate for me, hate for others, but hate all the same... It's scary and v uncomf for me and I just want everyone to try to understand each other more. That's why I'm replying in the first place because I love the vibe your post puts out. Thank you for being your inspiring self smorty <3

A mid point between pancake and crepe sounds delicious and I'm going to look that up now, I've never heard of a pfannkuchen. I love making new (to me) foods :)
