Oh, no! The Big Corporation's proprietary LLMs are plugging the Big Corporation's other products as official sources?! Who could have possibly seen this coming!

"... well, I guess they must've been Heretics!"
Pff, typical Mon-keigh behaviour... You wouldn't see the noble Children of Asuryan behaving so barbarously!
... I mean, sure, one of our Farseers went a bit off after too many Soul Communions and drove an entire flotilla straight into a Warp Storm yelling that it was the everflowing love of Mother Isha that one time, but never this!
At this point, with the sheer amount of data, I've structured things based on individual drives. All of my devices have the onboard SSD - I go for 1TB minimum. Call me old fashioned, but I still partition that one in two, one containing the Windows stuff and the essential 3rd party software, and a second partition which contains games, downloaded media, miscellaneous software, generally the stuff I use more frequently, but isn't vital. It's also where I store all downloads to keep the Windows partition clean and separate.
As for my external drives, I have one which I keep stuffed with game installs (2TB), and a second one which serves as my media library drive - music, movies, etc (1TB).
In terms of folder structures, I either use the default ones which come with Steam, for instance, or I keep it as simple as humanly possible (eg. Music > Artist > Album). Downloads are lumped in a single folder, wherein I may make subfolders for mass downloads of mods and such. Otherwise, Search & pray! With indexing turned off, because I like to hurt myself!
Edited to add sizes and: bought a second 2TB external which I plan on using as a back-up for my music library, some DRM-free games, and whatever movies may strike me as worth preserving.
Oh, damn! Sorry, everyone, forgot to double-check:(
And thanks so much for the alt source!
Actually serves pretty well if one's goal were to further destabilise things. People have already been convinced that illegal immigrants are to blame for all economic problems (even though it is easier to prove the extreme opposite through a cursory search on the internet), maybe if the downward slope is gentle enough, people won't start doubting the efficacy of the initially applied solution. Maybe the point was to get them to the next level, get them angry at something else after everything is done with the false problem.
I just don't see Trump actually wanting what's his version of "best" for the country. I think he's on a power play, and the country's just the kindling.
Maybe I'm talking complete nonsense, but this feels like a... logical escalation. To what, I cannot fathom, although we've seen similar movements preclude Totalitarian/Authoritarian regime solidification periods before, where the desperate masses clung to the wrong solution.
Same, but I started procrastinating about halfway through the rebuild. Eh... It can play video games, close enough...
I just love how this has become the most controversial thing I've ever posted on the internet =))
Oh, always full shower and a change of clothes which have not had direct contact with the designated smoking area, yes. I also lean toward muskier/spicier scents, so that's an extra layer of coverage.
My main worry, honestly, is with the neighbors. I'm not going full bordello, no noise past 10PM, no IMAX at home, etc. Don't even much like having people over. But as sp3ctr4l pointed out a few comments down, self-righteousness is unfortunately prevalent...
Nope, 'that Trump.' That Trump still exists, that he is president again, that he's doing what he's doing, or everything at once, so I just remember that Trump. To me, that's enough.
Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.
I know it's wrong and primarily unjustified to think this, but sometimes I feel that we've evolved not at all as a species. We've developed fancier stuff, but barbarism is alive and well. It's just wearing an expensive suit now.
Hey, nobody says ushankas should carry the sins of humans! We can reclaim ushankas as a symbol of empathy and... uuh... general goodness, I guess!
The Shaggs - Philosophy of The World
While its existence is the result of, I'd say, a tragic story from the world of music, this album makes me want to become Respectable™.
I'm talkin' respected academician, classic cars which fart global warming, needlessly large mansion with garish "high-class" post-Gothic nonsense, droves upon droves of pseudo-intellectual sycophants, a few published works which are worth more in their pedigree than their contents, the works!
Just so I can make everyone who'll inevitably show up at my funeral to suck up some clout to listen to this masterpiece in its entirety, especially during the eulogy part. Yes, the doors are locked. No, the fire alarm doesn't work. Yes, the whole thing was planned decades in advance in an establishment with few (if any) windows. No, we're not doing "just the one song!" It is as inevitable as the heat-death of the Universe!

Hope is the delusion that things will get better without our input.
Hope is the drug which numbs us in the face of unflinching reality.
Hope is that which wonders why the planet is burning after they put so much energy into believing it'll be ok.
Hope is the reason we're always late.
Philosophy aside, there has been no greater producer of disappointment in my life than hope. It has always left me complacent when I should've acted, it has always left me blind when I should have been looking for solutions.
We don't need hope, we need courage! We need courage to face reality as it is! We need courage to accept reality as it is. And we need courage to change reality into what it could be!
