Lots of family and friends still in the service and doing as good a job as they can but for each good one there is no doubt an asshole.

But I can’t speak for cops in other countries, only experience in Scotland.

It was seeing how awful humans are to each other that really sold it for me, I’d rather live in my bubble, thanks.

Scottish Police Service. Turns out peeling back the curtain of the worse side of people isn’t conducive to good mental health for me so I got outta there.

I have found ChatGPT to be better than Google for random questions I have, asking for general advice in a whole bunch of things but sido what to go for other sources. I also use it to extrapolate data, come up with scheduling for work (I organise some volunteer shifts) and lots of excel formulae.

I freaking love that movie but actually think it has a lot of depth. It shows a cgi cartoon character dealing with inevitability of death, fragility of life and mortality and value of what’s truly important. Side storylines about families, adoption, forgiveness etc but man does that wolf kill it.

Plot out my vegetable garden to grow my own food next year, declutter the house and drop donated items to charity.

And sleep.

I honestly pop in ‘yo butt’ into our shared shopping list and it usually gets an eye roll.

Or…the fun…? | ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I’d imagine some pretty fun shenanigans with a drunk force user.

AI is fun to play around with if you are like me with zero artistic talent but currently is no comparison with a real talented artist.

I can’t even draw a bit of spaghetti never mind a hand!

Have barely touched Twitter since Muskification ruined it.

Threads is okay but Mastodon would be brill with more interaction.

My wife’s late grandfather was from Latvia, displaced during the Second World War, I always enjoy reading things about the country and relaying them on to her.

Passion for dance is a really cool thing to have in my book, preserves something that words doesn’t.

I enjoy Mastodon as a Twitter replacement. I share whatever nonsense is in my head and react to other peoples nonsense too.

Following hashtags is a great way to find like minded people and because there is no monetisation there are no companies or promoted tweets etc.

I don’t think it’s on the fediverse but Squabbles has been a terrific Reddit replacement for me.
