For some reason my mouse wheel is now running zoom rather than scrolling. As a person who uses his computer to either read or write, more of the former rather than the later! This is very aggravating. This is something that has previously happened to me and I managed to eliminate the problem for so long I've forgotten how to deal with it. I've been searching through my settings and can't find a switch that I accidentally moved, which is annoying. Not that finding the mouse is easy or even determining the settings...
You'd almost think that windazed wants to shut you out of controlling your machine, yet whatever happened, and I did to make this change went under my radar, which frankly it should not have done! So how did the effing machine allow this change, and then hide the means to change things back!?
Huh!! A reboot changed things back! How and why is still a mystery!
I've been poking around the various 'free' AI platforms and really feel like I need a lawyer who is fluent in basic English as well as legalese.
If I'm correctly interpreting 'free' services, I am the product. The 'free' stuff either exists to sell me stuff (even if it is just 'premium' services, or to harvest data about my computer usage. Most of the time it feels like both of these are true. But I get the feeling that 'buying' premium service doesn't actually stop either of these activities...
Now I'm pretty much a coward who has wasted my life, as I said beforehand I pretty much set out with malice against myself to destroy any possibilities I might have of earning a living. Being both disorganized and a piss poor sales person, I'm definitely not apt to get any freelancing jobs (besides all writing for 'pay' is being done by 'name authors' or AI....) or be productive enough (Lackadaisical is a mild description of me, Dead lazy is more accurate) to produce writing for sale, even if I wrote salable subjects, which I do not.
Any way, I'm frustrated because I want to interact with AI as anonymously as possible.... And I just don't see any way to do so...
In chapter 79 of his book, A Dragon's Tale, Antiproton quoted Nietzsche... (Oh if you haven't read A Dragon's tale https://storiesonline.net/s/27799/a-dragons-tale/i you really should do so!
Anyway just a bit of Nietzsche is a deep subject to read and left me with the following:
Thoughts on fighting monsters:
1) Monsters must be fought.
2) If you fight monsters, there is a very real possibility you will become a monster.
3) With one and two in mind, how is it possible to fight monsters without becoming a monster?
4) Humans have ‘internal’ and external monsters that they must fight.
5) If you fail to deal with your ‘internal’ monsters, then when you attempt to fight external monsters you will become a monster indistinguishable from those against whom you battle.
6) Not fighting monsters means that you surrender to monsters, which is at least as bad, if not worse, as becoming a monster. For to enable a monster is to empower it to devour the innocent.
Thoughts about gazing into the abyss:
1) What is the abyss? I. E. What do we mean when we talk about the abyss?
2) For now I’m going with what I believe is a working definition of he abyss: The abyss is the unknown. It is possible that the abyss in this context is the unknowable.
3) Nietzsche said if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you. What did he mean? Is is possible to determine what he meant with this statement? Is the abyss the way Nietzsche speaks of it some sort of ‘over-mind? If the abyss is some sort of ‘over-mind’, does it have conscience? I. E. If the abyss is aware of those who gaze into it, what is its purpose on gazing back?
If I have asked before then I apologize.I've worked on and off with yWriter with at best mixed results. I'm wondering whether or not there is anyone who is doing well with it among my audience, anyone who can maybe help me use it and get better results.
So far the best result I seem to get with the program is the keeping of lists of characters. I feel like this is like using a TT rig as a daily commuting vehicle to a job where I do nothing more than push paper.
Anyway, if someone can help, I would appreciate it.
Also, I'll say TIA to any respondents

I don't start things because I might fail. I fail because I don't start things....
Definitely circular logic at its best. Not that I can seem to escape the circle, because I generally quit anything that presents any level of difficulty. I know, I'm insane, but it's hard to break out of a life time grave with the ends kicked out. Indeed, it looks easier to just lie down and stop trying at all, after all there will be no success in my life...
Which is yet more circular logic.
