They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don't know why I used a semicolon there, but it's staying.

No, it's definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

I'd be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

I sometimes use an LLM to "tidy up" my work and paste a bunch of writing in to see if it comes up with anything better. Some parts it will, others it won't, and I'll use or tweak some of it. I wonder if that counts? It's all my work going in, but it's using other people's work to make adjustments.

"Chad" is really making a come back. Or has it been so long now the younger gen is picking it up?

I get the same impact, but different response. When I see people in trouble, I have to help. I even started surf life rescue at 12 after saving a few people over time while surfing. It hasn't stopped and I did more and more, wanting to he a combat medic. The adrenaline that surges seeing trouble is uncontrollable. I do anything short of pure stupidity to save a life and realised it's a rare trait to have it that extreme, so wanted to ensure it was being put to use.

I hate seeing trauma and my reaction is to fix it at whatever cost. So, much respect to your surgeon friend, I totally get her.

I have friends like this and with my lifestyle and history of emergency response, I can't fathom it. Apart from trained hygiene precautions, my brain just never reacts to blood apart from it being an indicator of the next actions to take to keep as much of it inside as possible. I've had a shower off a firetruck to get blood off—clothes ruined, still washing blood out of my hair once I got home—but training kept those two alive in time for paramedics to arrive. That's all my brain thought about. They found out and my buddy and I got a call from the hospital to meet them ♥️

But then I have another friend that gets queasy seeing a scratch and has passed out from a needle...

Some of us just have very different survival instincts. Fight or flight seem to both work very well so long as you're one of the other. But they certainly can't understand each other.

After Amazon said there'd be more ads recently, yep, more ads tonight. Done with it. My living room is not a marketing platform. It's finally time to go back to the convenience and ease of piracy.

The new model is based around pirating Clarkson's Farm and donating to farmers. That's the point anyway. No need to bring Jeff into it.

And no, you cannot find the original post anymore. At least it's missing for me, the OP, unless I locate it through inbox history.

Coincidentally, the meme was about mods on shitposts lol. I'll be banned soon 🫡
