Handy for Making a Button On Zazzle...
Here is a Classic MEME Made out of a Pirated Image I Found on Google... and The Words were added using a Free Program Called PhotoPea...

and then people send me images...

i drew this at an AA meeting... when you have an hour to basically sit there and absorb what people are talking about... And the belly full of coffee...
or Just Point Your Camera at something Interesting...
This is the last picture I took at the Rainbow Gathering before I put the camera in my pocket and joined the people chanting "OM" - There's a time to document life and then there's a time to actually live life...
Drawn Using Photopea... I saw the US Navy UFO Film and Said... "I Can Draw That!"
PIXLR has a great Shadow Highlights function... It allows you to make dark areas brighter and bright areas darker at the same time!
These Pictures really Used the Shadow Highlight Function.
Using a Window Mirror Reflection...
Inside The Trinidad Restaurant looking at the Lighted Pier.
I often pirate images that were artificial intelligence generated... They already exists so stealing someone else's work does not increase the quantity of AI electricity use... It does reward the person that used the AI... And I'm sorry...
Classic Anti-Trump Cartoon!

There are millions of people who are motivated by compassion, who work hard to try to make a difference in a positive way. Imagine the world we could be living in now if the greedy and gluttonous who hold the reins of power had the same values as a dedicated teacher, a firefighter or paramedic, a nurse, a research scientist, a volunteer in a soup kitchen.
and I Replied: Or as a clerk at a Radio Shack store... Everyday I helped people get done what they wanted to get done... You want to hook up your cable TV? I got a box for you... You want to buy 144 hearing aid batteries and mail them to Czechoslovakia? We got bulk discount! Hearing aid batteries are difficult to buy in Czechoslovakia according to my customer... Just little positive Actions everyday...
PD SAID: I too worked at a Radio Shack!
and I Replied:
One great blessing was to study the physics behind Electronics in those 14 little books that you had to read and then pass tests... I got a great understanding of... how antennas work, why the head on a VCR is tilted, The underlying physics of a transistor... All of that knowledge Was a blessing...
I have a song stuck in my head for about 3 days... Tom Sawyer by Rush... "Oh his mind is not for rent to any God or government..."

What Does This Say?
I'm amazed that even though I ran this paragraph through the backwards freak out machine... Google can still read and understand the words... I guess everything you post becomes part of the Artificial Intelligence Large Language Model...
Why AI Can Read This...
Modern AI models do not just look at whole words. They break text down into smaller pieces called tokens (often syllables or letter clusters) and analyze patterns.
Because the internal letter patterns of the reversed words remain consistent, the AI can easily map them back to their original English meanings.

So, I know a lot of people are cold-turkey-ing AI and good for them!! But after much trial and error I have found that doesn't work for me. My best bet is weaning myself off of it and then eventually cutting it out. Just wanted to raise awareness that that's a method to use as well!
The biggest tip I have honestly is figuring out what the AI replaced in your life. For me it was reading! I've gotten back into it, and I find that the more I read of literally anything written by a human, the more unappealing the AI is. Like I'll open the app and then rage quit it within an hour because it's SO. BAD.
Also the Minimalist Phone App has helped a lot. There's a mode where you choose how much time you want to spend on the app, and then the phone will block it for a set period of time afterwards. It's great for stopping several-hour long binges!
I've gone from losing days to AI to not using it everyday and at most (on average) using it for 3 hours instead of 10 or even 13. I'm not clean yet, but I'm getting there!
And it feels more permanent this time. When I tried to just delete it, it never lasted more than a few days or weeks, and I knew it wouldn't. Now it feels like I'm teaching myself that I don't need it, and it's sticking! I've become more creative and more aware, so I'll call that progress!
