"stay still on the ground for 20 minutes from a distance" remains an undefeated strategy for getting the cutest content on earth.
We all deserve something cute tonight. So here you go.

Maybe not a hot take, but it is perhaps under-discussed how easy it has been for the combo of fascist ransacking and techno-fantasies of replacing all human knowledge to blow universities away with the slightest foul breeze due to them already having disassembled their core reason for existing

If a human told you things that were correct 80% of the time but claimed, flat out, with absolute confidence, that they were correct 100% of the time, you would dislike them & never trust a word they say. All I'm really suggesting is for people to treat chatbots with that same distrust & antagonism.

Mute some key terms, and check out the gardening or museum threads for soothing/interesting accounts to follow. Or, just add the nonstressful accounts for a less stressful mix. This place is what you make it.

The relief is palpable. I was a mess for a while, yes, for reasons. I didnāt spend an unreasonable amount of time wallowing. There was some, which is ok. I tried, repeatedly, to fix myself and my situation, using brains, self-knowledge, and a lot of effort. I eventually did. I can let it go. 3/3

Hereās why. Iāve kicked myself for years over a particular time in my life and how long I let it drag on. Today, when it came at me again, I really thought about the details, and realized something. It wasnāt actually very long, *because* I tried multiple hard, complicated things to fix it. 2/3 oops

Right there with you. It took a lot of time to admit it, but Iāve noped out of pretty much all the things I planned for myself. Itās scary, but has started to also feel exhilarating as I wander in search of something else. (Yes, āwander,ā as in ānot lost.) The middle years are a trip.

Yes, make that clear, but do, please, include those related-but-not-essential footnotes on occasion. They can provide the interested reader with just what they hoped might be in your article. Or what they didnāt even know they were looking for!

It is notable that two important documents in our constitutional traditionāthe Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamationāoffer ways of understanding of freedomāthe Declaration removes the tyranny of the Monarch and the Emancipation, the tyranny of the Master.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, itās not because it made an error. Itās because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
