Plucky sees the light

I might not be the most patient person in the world, but my light never goes out. That’s what plucky means to me. It’s not about achieving great things. It’s about doing your own things. You don’t need to follow the same path as everyone else. The world is full of jerks, and I’m surprised I tolerate them. But they’re not worth going to jail for. Some people should be taken out back and give them a good beating. But hopefully, karma will take them one day. You shouldn’t waste your time and energy on them because the world has always had jerks and will remain so. As long as you’re not acting like one, then it doesn’t matter.

Things in life can’t always be great. One day, you feel things will never be better. It might sound cliché, but things must get worse before things get better. If that isn’t plucky thinking, I don’t know what is. For some, plucky means doing things, but for me, it’s my thinking that is plucky. I wish I could be plucky enough to do things, but maybe if I wait long enough, I can be one. I don’t know why people are in a hurry to do things in the first place. If it isn’t meant to be, then it isn’t. Good things will come for those who wait. The light won’t go out as long as there is positive thinking.

Note: This entire post is written in AI with the word Checks. Using Gemini and WP AI Assistant block (except these sentences, of course)

With the AI Assistant

The word “checks” has multiple meanings depending on the context:

  1. Verb (1): To verify or examine something, as in “She checks her email every hour.”
  2. Noun (1): A written order to a bank to pay a stated sum from the drawer’s account, as in “She wrote a check to pay the rent.”
  3. Noun (2): A pattern of small squares, as in “She wore a skirt with a check pattern.”

With Gemini

The word “checks” can have many different meanings depending on the context. Here are some of the most common:

Financial:

  • Software development: Running tests to identify errors in code.
  • Research: Verifying the accuracy and validity of data.

End note: Maybe writing things from your own head is better. AI is a good tool, but it won’t replace people.

You have so and so many minutes to type

This post is not valediction of any kind. This is free writing. You usually do it in 10 minutes, but I type what comes to mind. It might take a minute or longer than that. It might not make sense, but it’s fun to do it. One piece of news, though. Finland is now officially a member of Nato. That’s all I’m going to say about that. This is supposed to be a fun post. Not funny. The fun of writing. Or typing. Either way.

I have no timer for this post. It takes so and so minutes. Like it says on the blog title. Spring is coming, but we still have snow here and there. Maybe it’s time to melt. I like spring. It’s better than summer. The sweaty season. Summers would be nice if it wasn’t hot. I will die or wish to in the future if the climate gets hotter. Maybe I’m not on this earth when that time comes. I feel sorry for the people who come after me. Those are the ones we should worry about. Even if we’re dead, we should still care today. Maybe we can’t stop climate change anymore. Sorry, this post shouldn’t be about serious stuff like that. Just mentioned it. Let’s move on, shall we?

Sent an open job application yesterday, so one each month is done. Won’t get a job, but I have done my part. Next week is back to school in Helsinki again. I haven’t done my assignment yet. It’s not an easy one, but I will get it done. I’m there to learn, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t get it. It’s not my favourite assignment. It’s about movie production. The school is on Friday and Saturday. I must go by bus on Saturday, so I hope we’re not going anywhere that day. I might miss that bus to that place. With public transportation, you never know if it will be on time.

More about spring. It’s nice that the snow melts and it isn’t chilly during the day. I can ride my bike to places. Especially when I’m going to the grocery store, and I don’t have to carry the shopping. That is heavy stuff. I don’t need to go to the gym; I carry shopping bags. I could go by car, but the store isn’t far. Walking is good for you. It makes your head clear. But cycling is even better. I don’t care about those terrible road stoppers, a.k.a. electric scooters. Do those companies who own them want people to get lazy? Those who use them can’t even park them right. Driving on the payment where people walk. It was so nice to walk outside when there were none of those anywhere. Winter is nicer because there are no scooters anywhere. Now the pain is back. Paris banned altogether them. Whoever invented those scooters are idiots. People have their friends on them. Sometimes there are three people on those scooters. They are made for one person. It’s not a taxi. No wonder young people get overweight when they don’t walk. I have nothing against those scooters; it’s the people who use them that I can’t stand. Not all are bad, but a lot are. They have no idea about traffic rules. It’s a jungle out there.

I think it’s enough free writing. If people read it or not. That’s the valediction of this post.
