I had a rough patch last year where I honestly didn’t even realize I was sliding into addiction. It started as just a few casual bets after work, but then I’d start chasing losses and telling myself I could “win it back.” The worst part wasn’t losing money — it was that constant stress and guilt. Took me a while to admit that I had to take a step back and put limits on myself.

I once visited a startup incubator where multiple teams shared one small wet lab space, and it was surprising how much of their success came down to just having organized storage and clear labeling rules. Even though they worked on different projects, that basic level of structure kept everyone on track and avoided mistakes, which made me realize how much process matters alongside access.

It’s fascinating how AI is transforming creative workflows across industries. Even outside art, I notice people are using AI for everything from design mockups to marketing visuals. The pace of change is incredible, and it makes you think about how quickly we’ll need to adapt skillsets and workflows to integrate these tools effectively while keeping creativity human-centered.

I’ve noticed over the years that new tools pop up almost every few months, and some disappear just as quickly. I once bookmarked three different sites for downloads, and within half a year, only one was still alive. Do you think the competition actually pushes them to get better, or does it just make the whole scene unstable because everyone is fighting for a piece of the pie?

I’ve been considering a move within the county and can’t decide between staying in Lake Havasu City or trying out Kingman. I love the water and events in Havasu, but housing feels pricey and traffic near the lake can be a headache. A coworker mentioned Fort Mohave is quieter and more affordable, but I don’t know much about daily life there. For those who’ve lived in these places, what are the biggest pros and cons you’ve noticed?
