After they removed the Thinking model, I tested it to see whether the new Flash would be better than old one... news flash, it's not, and it is even worse. With images, it is grabbing info from somewhere other than the image. I was confused when I uploaded a document (image) and it started answering from a law text source, and when I asked it to elaborate, it linked a completely irrelevant law about something that isn't even remotely related to the text I uploaded. I did not even ask it a legal question.

The new PRO model is not pro at all. It is horrific. I uploaded some images, and first, it said it cannot read any of the images. Fine, I restarted and tried again, and again, it gave me completely irrelevant responses. What even is this?

The old Flash model spat out whatever related nonsense it could find so it was mostly useless for any serious tasks. So what is Flash-LITE for? I don't care about speed if it spits out garbage???!

This new update will cause me to quit Gemini and switch to a competitor if they do not fix it ASAP. My workflow is simple and portable.

I experienced several incidents over the last few months that really made me wonder what is happening in Toronto… does it have a culture problem?

First, in two separate incidents, two groups of teenage girls were talking about violently assaulting another individual. I was on the Go train, and these girls sat down next to me (They were 3). All of them seemed very nice until they started speaking. For the entire train ride, they were criticizing Ashley (not the real name), saying how ugly she was and how she’s a slut and how she’s pretty until you look at her and she’s actually very ugly. Ok whatever right? Then they began saying that next time they see her they will “rip“ her fake lashes off her face, and tear off her extensions. Then they pulled out her Instagram, and began ragging on literally every single post. I wasn‘t even sure if they were joking or not.

Then recently I was on the bus, and a separate group of teenage girls got on with me. They were taking shots of alcohol at the back, and literally screaming and laughing the entire way. They said they saw somebody’s story and that somebody was there and they’re going to fight her. Then, one of the girls said the other was drinking too much, and asked her to “hold her taser” while she drinks. She said she was born in 2018 and takes shots with guys and they believe that she’s 22.

Teenaged boys are not better. I saw a bunch of them stunting in broad daylight, doing wheelies and front wheelies on motorcycles. They were even doing this without helmets or protective gear and sometimes two people together on a bike together. There were also some doing that on skateboards weaving in and out between traffic; I don’t even dare to look at them when they’re doing this because the next second they could become a bloody corpse.

These are school aged kids and when I was their age, I don’t remember doing any of this. It was in downtown Toronto too. Are kids these days just bored? Or they just not educated properly? Like I consider myself very open minded, but I just don’t remember seeing any of this before.

I see a lot of criticism of Jisoo from Blackpink looking stiff, but I'm WAYYYYYY stiffer than her. I can copy choreographies after many tries and hit the right poses, but when I record myself, it looks horrible.

I don't know what it is, but I just look so stiff and awkward. I see people's TikTok dances and they flow and they look smooth. I want to be able to dance like that.

I've been practicing with Just Dance, and recently, I have been drilling their "Extremes". I can do them now with many tries, but I feel like I am not becoming smoother even after learning new choreos; it just feels like I can do that particular choreo better...

What do I do to maximize efficiency and learn better? I like Just Dance a lot and I already have 2 Editions, but I am running out of Extreme choreos to do.

My current routine: 2 hours of dance practice every day, 1 hour of Extreme (one song per week, rotated around), and 1 hour of random easy/medium/hard songs

I have been feeling extremely frustrated with my life recently, and I watched a video about how we often get more joy purchasing experiences rather than material goods. (I bought a material good that is an electronic that does help with daily life as well so on that front I am ok). So I decided that I am going to restart hot yoga.

So I look through different studios, doing thorough research via Google Reviews, and finally settled on one that is near my workplace and also has a nice intro package. It's $75, which isn't bad for five classes. I was going to buy it, then at checkout, there was a $9.75 HST/GST. I decided not to buy it after all. I will buy a yoga mat and do yoga at home. And this is just an intro offer, a normal class is $35 plus HST/GST. Who has the money to pay that?!

I want to pay for experiences. I want to create good and happy memories outside of my day-to-day routine by trying different classes or studios, and there are so many that I want to try. But how can I justify paying $30-50 per class plus these taxes, plus commute costs and equipment renting costs, even if I do one experience per week, that is like $200+ per month, and who has the money to pay for that? I see people going into these boutique studios all the time, I have a decent salary, but I just want to understand how they are able to do that? Do they just spend all their paycheck? I am very afraid of another layoff so I am saving what I can but I also want to live!!!

I just don't understand. What services does the government actually provide that warrants this 13% on everything? I don't think I really am getting my money's worth at all. Also, my salary, which is not high already, gets taxed before I even receive it. Then I pay taxes again regardless of what I buy. They want us to support small businesses, but with what money? I'm better off chucking that money into a high yields savings account.....

Context: I already have JD 2026 and 2025. I have a Switch 2, so most songs don't work properly on it with the JoyCons, and that's why I'm leaning towards the option that has more camera options. I'd say I finished 80% of the songs I have now.

Just Dance Plus Pros:

• Some new songs from the 2023/2024 Editions that I haven't played before
• New additions all have camera mode
• 2023/2024 songs are going into JD+ anyway (I have actually already played many JD2023 Edition songs via JD+)

Yearly Edition Pros:

• No recurring fees
• I get what I get, there isn't any potential for future disappointment like if JD+ introduces some songs that I don't want or like
• Some KPop songs like Blackpink songs are not on JD+ and probably won't ever be added
• Cheaper overall
