if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

know this: there are people I respect & do not follow. there are people I follow & do not respect. it`s up to fate—i make no apologies of it

All the homies are trying to discover the underlying pattern that gives order to chaos

i’ve tried a lot of different chess strategies but the one i’ve found most effective is swallowing your opponent’s pieces when they aren’t looking

my wife and i saw you from across the bar- you look like the kind of person who puts all their dirty silverware right in the first slot of the dishwasher utensil caddy. we’re leaving because of you

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

anyone who's gonna go "it sucks but you gotta win over people first, slowly build the case for rights" for trans people should tell me, without looking it up, when they think interracial marriage reached majority approval in america

thought I was all good when my doctor said i was healthy as a horse; turns out he was referring to one specific horse, 'Sick Matthew'

If Daft Punk can wear a mask for 28 years surely you can wear one to buy tomatoes

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

My local numbers at wastewaterSCAN. For context, in two weeks we’ve gone from one of our lowest points ever to near the peak of last year’s winter wave.

hey if you are on our side you’d be masking up outside of protests too :)

You may be struggling today, but one day soon things will be better. Some days are just struggly. Ups and downs are part of the deal

the most depressing thing about AI is I haven't seen a single person with any power or authority go "yeah we need to ban this shit" everyone's just " gee, guess it's going to replace everyone and everything with white noise, oh well I'm getting paaaaaaaaaaid!"

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

This post and its replies are filled with excellent ideas.

when you realize you control the cheese, a whole new world opens up

YOU CONTROL THE PIZZA. YOU CONTROL WHAT GOES ON IT. EMBRACE YOUR POWER. EMBRACE YOUR DESTINY.
