    I went on omegle not too long ago actually and the thing I remember was that the text version of the website was inundated with bots.

    You had to skip through maybe 10-15 bots before you would find that one real person, and even then it was hit or miss whether they would actually want to stay and have a conversation.

    Another thing: the constant “asl” as the top of every conversation; it’s like people were trying to use it as a hook-up / dating / sexting app rather than it’s actual purpose of connecting with people from around the world. I think that mission got lost somewhere.














  • There’s a book called Impro by Keith Johnstone.

    It’s a book about improvisation, though in there there’s a very interesting part on moving your center around when it comes to character work.

    So long as the centre remains in the middle of your chest (pretend it’s a few inches deep), you will feel that you are still yourself and in full command, only more energetically and harmoniously so, with your body approaching an “ideal type”.

    As soon as you try to shift the centre to some other place within or outside your body, you will feel that your whole psychological and physical attitude will change, just as it changes when you step into an imaginary body.

    You will notice that the centre is able to draw and concentrate your whole being into one spot from which your activity emanates and radiates.
