= Artistic
{synonym}

Stuff that is beautiful but useless because it does not make food or houses cheaper.

Or from <Ciro Santilli's best random thoughts>:
\Q[Without technology, one cannot survive. Without art, one cannot live.]

But that sure enough has a <Jesus> semi-precursor, and likely many others: <man shall not live by bread alone>.

There is some art however that lives in the fine intersection between beauty and usefulness:
* <mathematics>
* <physics>
* <computer>

= Useful

Something is useful if it either:
* makes <money>
* creates <novel research>[novel knowledge], or present knowledge in a novel way, that others may find beautiful

Maybe those are genial. Maybe not. Nostalgia is just too strong to discern. Ciro still goes back to them for rest.

= Children cartoons Ciro Santilli liked to watch
{parent=Art young Ciro Santilli consumed}

These did not stand the test of time however.

When Ciro was ten years old, he was addicted to 2 cartoons: <Pokemon> and <Dragon Ball Z>!

Pokemon had just launched in Brazil in 1999, 2 years after the Japanese launch: https://br.historyplay.tv/hoje-na-historia/comeca-exibicao-original-do-anime-pokemon (http://web.archive.org/web/20191221091947/https://br.historyplay.tv/hoje-na-historia/comeca-exibicao-original-do-anime-pokemon[archive]) And Dragon Ball, was first aired in 1989 in Japan! My God, those translations took forever back then!

And \i[everyone] was playing Pokemon on their https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Color[Game Boy Color]. Ciro was <Ciro Santilli's psychology and physiology>[already cheap] however, and didn't buy the console despite wanting it, and just played it through his friends handhelds. But maybe this is a good thing. Playing alone sucks.

= Games young Ciro Santilli played
{parent=Art young Ciro Santilli consumed}
{tag=Game}

Mostly <video games> of course.

First when he was really young, about 5, Ciro played a lot of <NES>, but he doesn't remember things from that era very well. Contra, Ninja Turtles, Battle Tanks, Duck Hunt, and some modern "real world jet" top to bottom rail shooter (TODO identify) are definitely some of the games he clearly remembers playing, see also: <image Five year old Ciro Santilli playing NES on a joystick>. <Nintendo Hard> was truly a thing back then.

As an honorable mention, Ciro remembers his teenage/young adult neighbours in <Jundiaí> playing some <DOS> games on their computer, notably there was a 3D racing one. This must have been around 1995/1997, so using some of the very earliest <GPUs>. Those games felt so incredibly advanced, including the required setup to play them, which required some <command line> commands. It felt like some kind of black magic! But Ciro didn't really play them however.

Ciro then skipped the <SNES> and handhelds, which he played only through friends because he <Ciro Santilli's cheapness>[was cheap] (but also because Brazil is a poor country remember, and imports are pretty expensive). He clearly remembers playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_World[Super Mario World] for the SNES and <children cartoons Ciro Santilli liked to watch>[Pokemon on friends' Gameboys] of course.

Ciro then went straight to 5th generation with the <Nintendo 64> in 1994 which his parents bought for him during a trip to the <United States>. Once again, because he was cheap, the only game he bought was <Super Mario 64>, which likely came with the console? He played that game to death.

Then came <Ocarina of Time>, which blew everyone's minds, and Ciro would go to Blockbuster to rent it for the weekend, and again play to death with his friends. You had to arrive early at Blockbuster to rent it, otherwise other people would rent all copies!!!

The only time Ciro got robbed as of 2020 was when an older teenager stopped his bicycle in front of Ciro and took his rented Golden Eye 64 copy away from his hand, and run off. Poor drug addict.

Ciro always felt that the PS1 had a much uglier aesthetics than the N64, and didn't like the console. Playing a bit of <Final Fantasy VI> on his memory did stick deeply to his mind however. Ciro later played all good PS1 RPGs on emulation during <University of São Paulo> during amazing solitary nights.

And on the PC, Ciro was particularly touched by <Age of Empires II> and <Diablo II>.

As a young teenager Ciro would also play <Counter-Strike> with his friends at LAN houses. Playing that game would make Ciro extremely anxious, his hands got all cold, and it was a lot of fun.

After this Ciro grew up and notice that the only fun game is that of becoming <Ciro Santilli's selfish desires>[become rich and famous] in the real world.

This explains however Ciro's <tool-assisted speedrun> interests.

Outside of video games, Ciro got midly addicted to <Magic: The Gathering> in his early teens.

= Music teenager Ciro Santilli liked to listen to
{parent=Art young Ciro Santilli consumed}

Lower teens, before discovering more hardcore stuff that is more genial and adult-venerable:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam[Pearl Jam]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed_(band)[Creed]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers[Red Hot Chili Peppers]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses[Guns N' Roses]
So a base mix of what you migth expect from a regular male teenager born in 1989 Brazil.

OK, Ciro still comes back to those from time to time, he confesses. Nostalgia, nostalgia.

The following are also adult venerable though :-)

TODO:

To make the move it as suggested for black, we have to either repeat the entire sequence of movements:

``
`d`:

Fen: rnbqkbnr/pp1ppppp/8/2p5/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2
Key: 4CA78BCE9C2980B0
``
or alternatively we could also use the previous <FEN notation> as a starting point;
``
position fen rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1 moves c7c5
``
Note how the <Universal Chess Interface> interface is very simple: we just load a state and then decide what to do next for that one state. The engine holds only one and exactly one state at a time, and you can't even modify it differentially without loading new one from scratch.

Let's move white again with our brain with either:
``
position startpos moves e2e4 c7c5 d2d3
position fen rnbqkbnr/pp1ppppp/8/2p5/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2 moves d2d3
``

Set a specific position from `fen`:
``
position fen rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1
``

= Porn vlog
{parent=Pornography}

This is a porn style defined by <Ciro Santilli> as:
* content is designed and owned by the actors
* full face reveal
* doing normal vlog things like talking, visiting places, eating, etc., not just fucking
Ciro believes that this is an interesting type of pornography, as it feels more natural and humane than all the horrible trash that comes out of horrendous professional mainstream porn industry.

Yes, it could go down the <YouTube>/<Instagram> alley, and lead the vloggers to do things they wouldn't normally do because of the audience. But who is to say that <Ciro Santilli> doesn't do the same on <Ciro Santilli's Stack Overflow contributions>[Stack Overflow] to some extent?

That type of porn requires some big courage to make. Or balls if you will. Kudos to those creators, as it is so taboo it could greatly impact their future job prospects.

The travel sex vlog appears to be the most popular way to do it. Presuamably the reason being that you would not be able to interact with people in a normal job, so to keep things interesting you need to go to some random places.

Examples:
* https://lunaokko.com/social-media/ Luna Okko. French sex vlogger, basically a super normal travel vlog with sex scenes with her boyfriend added in, see e.g. the series "Luna's Journey".

  Perhaps the travel porn vlog is the simplest way to do it. A sex vlog is much like a cooking flog in some way, except it is hard to get new ingredients, so changing the scenery is the easiest way to get some diversity.

  Some day some nymphomaniac should actually make a sex vlog fucking a different man each time, that would be amazing, even from a scientific point of view, so we can see how different men fuck, a bit like an open version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_Sex[].

About 50k subscribers on 2021, which feels way too little for the video quality and quantity.

<Ciro Santilli> believes that this channel will go very far, certaily achieving 1M subscribers in they keep it for one or twomore years.

They are <Utah>-based, and they do many many amazing weekend trips. They mostly drive from home to some trailhead, and then climb up and down it the entire day.

No technical <rock climbing>, only <bouldering>, but they still manage to reach many amazing places, and there is a level of danger in many of their ascents.

They also often <ski> down the mountains when there is <snow>.

The cool thing about this channel is that as the name suggests, they are not professionals, and what they do can be done by anyone without working full time on it, as long as you have adequate preparation.
