HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

Your girlfriend is about to jump... in the last second she thinks it better and tries to back off, but inertia wouldn't make it easy. Her last recourse's grabbing your leg...
Question: How much do you love her?

I SAW THAT GOING DIFFERENTLY IN MY MIND VOL83

Having an excessively high self-esteem can lead to underestimating risks, ignoring valuable advice, and taking on challenges for which you are not prepared. It's crucial to recognize your limitations and be willing to ignore that inner voice that tells you that you can do everything.

IT’S A VERY TOUGH AND RESILIENT ROBOT

Robotics has advanced tremendously. We already have highly efficient machines designed for specific tasks: autonomous vehicles that glide effortlessly, robotic arms with surgical precision, and quadrupeds that can traverse any terrain without losing balance. Yet, one type of robot continues to dominate headlines and absorb an enormous amount of resources—bipedal humanoids.

Why the relentless push to make them walk like us? More than a technical necessity, there's a psychological factor at play. A human-shaped robot is perceived as more socially integrated, more trustworthy, and it aligns with the image that pop culture has been feeding us for decades. It doesn’t matter if they still stumble, struggle with stairs, or collapse from a simple push. What matters is that they remind us of ourselves.

The reality is that most of these robots don’t have a specific function. They are not designed to optimize any particular task but rather serve as experimental prototypes showcasing how far engineering can go in replicating human locomotion. But is this really the best path forward? While we pour time and money into making them walk like us, we could be developing far more functional machines without such a pointless limitation.

Maybe one day, we’ll move past our humanoid obsession and start designing robots that don’t need to look like us to be truly useful.

A journalist reports on the humanoid G1 robot from Unitree Robotics: "It’s a very tough and resilient robot. Let’s put it to the test."

THE GRANDMA AND THE 360 CAMERA

New technologies can be a real challenge for our grandparents. At a party with a 360-degree photo booth, one grandma didn’t quite understand how it worked and ended up getting hit by the spinning platform. Everyone, including her, laughed at the incident, and the company even used the video for some clever advertising.

INFLUENCER: A RISKY PROFESSION

Being an influencer comes with its risks, and I’m not just talking about exposing your life to hundreds of thousands or millions of strangers and facing the hate from an angry mob. I’m talking about real risks, where you put your life on the line for likes, hearts, and thumbs-ups.

WHEN YOU PLAY WITH FIRE

Fire has always been a powerful symbol in our history: light in the darkness, warmth in the cold, but also a constant reminder that beauty can be dangerous. In street performances, the balance between control and chaos is part of the magic.

A perfect move can draw applause, but a small mistake—a spark out of place, an unexpected twist—can change the show in an instant. Because, in the end, fire doesn’t truly let itself be tamed. And that’s its allure: we love it, even knowing it can consume us.

DEATH DOESN’T APPLY TO YOU

Youth, with its energy and vitality, often feels invincible. Many young people live as if they will always be around, without considering the consequences of their actions. They throw themselves into experiencing the world without limits, chasing thrills and pushing boundaries, unaware that we only have one life.

Unfortunately, this sense of invulnerability often leads them to make risky decisions, whether physical, emotional, or even social. They don’t always think about the long-term repercussions: a bad decision in a moment of euphoria can have serious consequences.
The paradox is that while they are immersed in this relentless search for experiences, they often forget that life, precisely because it’s unique, deserves to be cared for and protected.
