I usually finish writing it and only then do I realise I don’t care enough to send it.

This triggered a memory. When I went to university one of my flatmates bought a fancy frisbee that you could throw super far, so as a form of exercise we used to walk to a large park nearby to play.

Come spring when the weather started getting better, the park started getting busier. On one occasion it was full of kids (like 5-6 year olds?) and parents who ignored them. We tried to stay away but the kids kept getting lured by the frisbee that flies far. At some point one of my flatmates tried to hide the frisbee under his shirt to get them to leave, but one of the kids saw him do it and ran to him trying to grab it from under his shirt and yeah… as soon as my flatmate realised the kid was going to try grabbing at him at the bottom of his shirt he immediately threw the frisbee on the ground and held up his hands as if he was at gunpoint and walked away.

It was pretty funny from the outside but damn… do I hate parents who let their kids harass other people. It was a much better experience when a bad dog owner was there at a different occasion and we had a dog chasing us around for 20 mins…

I was not aware of this before and this is probably one of the most pedantic things I’ve heard for a while - great answer.

How do you see this in person and resist going outside to say hi…

I think coffee shops would be happy with a regular, if you buy something. Otherwise, maybe mix it up, go to different places?

If the weather permits, park? Either benches or just take a towel to sit on in the grass.

You can also read in bars, they’re probably pretty quiet during the day, but once again you’d have to buy something.

Maybe a weird one but churches are often available to the public and they’re quiet, with seating. Might be worth to check with someone there if its OK.

If they are open to the public, museums or galleries could be a thing.

Encroaching on homeless behaviour, but if the public transportation tickets in the city are valid as long as you stay on, you could try finding a less used line and just go around in circles on something.

I have already forgotten about the copilot key thing and had to search it as from the article it was being mentioned together with requiring an NPU, so I was worried it was something like the CPUs having to include some copilot license key shit… It’s just the new key on the keyboard if anyone else forgot about it too.
