I remember damage. Then escape. Fan of #crows, #StarTrek and the #Japanese language, among many other things. Currently posting one frog species per day. If I keep this up, I should be done in about 20 years. My toots are searchable.
Experiment: consider a question to which you yourself know the answer, and which requires some amount of explanation. Let's say a question in your professional field of expertise.
Now ask this question in two places: one, on reddit, in an appropriate subreddit; two, on ChatGPT.
Dystopian fiction can be divided into two broad categories: libertarian fantasies, in which people are finally able to kill everyone they don't like with impunity (Mad Max, The Walking Dead); and liberal fantasies, in which people finally appreciate the value of art and literature (Station Eleven, Fahrenheit 451, 1984).
#foodtoot I may need help with this: I splurged on some nice ravioli, filled with ricotta and artichoke, at the Italian deli, but I don't know what kind of sauce to make with it. Any suggestions?
Here's the best way to figure out how much faith investors have in the whole AI thing: which company's shareholders have voted to replace the company's CEO (or its entire C-suite) with an AI?
After all, the CEO makes obscene amounts of money (think of all those bonuses!), while there's compelling evidence to suggest that CEOs don't actually make that much of a difference. If there was ever a job in need of AI replacement, it'd be CEO.
Do you have trouble communication metric sizes with Americans?
If so, I have you covered!
I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"
I just realized that in the unlikely event that Trump would actually go to jail, there's a nonzero chance that both his fans and his haters would purposely start committing crimes just to have a chance to end up in the jail cell next to him.
@ridicol Methinks the Senator doth protest too much... whatever happened to that old Republican adage, "If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about?"
On the Serious Trouble podcast, host Ken White aka @Popehat, a federal lawyer, explains the "cockroach in the spaghetti" defense. It goes like this:
"Members of the jury, if you were in a restaurant and you found a cockroach in your spaghetti, would you eat around it or send back the dish?"
In Trump's Stormy Daniels case, Michael Cohen is the cockroach that the prosecution is asking you to eat around, so according to this argument, the jury should send back the spaghetti = dismiss the case.
In my mind, I'm the CEO of a company that handles the print distribution of those glitzy yearly reports that charitable organizations like to put out. The company would be called No Good Deed Goes Unpublished.
#DraculaDaily Imagine you get an email from a female friend who tells you she's been proposed to by 3 different men in one day.
Man #1 runs a lunatic asylum and plays with a lancet while proposing.
Man #2 is American and uses what she calls "slang." Here are his exact words: "Won't you just hitch up alongside of me and let us go down the long road together, driving in double harness?"
The friend explains that she went for Man #3, without really explaining why.
