i asked chatGPT to explain a few concepts to me directly out of the 802.3 standard & it 100% lied, completely confidently—only backtracking when i called it out on the lie.

both versions 3 & 4 did this. it has no fact checking. pls stop using it to just google things

@dramypsyd Sounds needy and non-communicating of her, but that's TV.

The perfect confirmation dialog does not exist…

@stanrmitchell Even for a non religious person like myself, this message is still right. Don't chase things. Foster relationships. Seek and give kindness. Remember what is important.

@dramypsyd Depends on how bad it is and how stuck they are? A bad marriage can be extremely lonely and isolating. I my case I was in a position to leave (no other person involved). I can't imagine what life is like for people who don't see a way out in the short term.

That being said, I doubt that angle was presented in your TV show. I Am Love (movie) did a better presentation of the subject.

@dramypsyd I have a wood burner tool that I've never opened. I have used one before, and this gave me an idea. Thank you!

It's canon that Bart Simpson has ADHD, but early seasons Homer is inadvertently the best and most sympathetic adult ADHD representation on TV. He messes up a lot because of poor impulse control, disorganization, inability to plan ahead, emotional dysregulation, and being easily distracted. But he isn't doing any of these things on purpose, and tries his hardest to make things right when he realizes his actions have consequences or he's hurt someone.

Google wants me to turn on Enhanced Safe Browsing.

If they know it's safer, then why isn't this the standard? Why do they need my permission to be safer? What are they really trying to accomplish? 🤔

@Gartenberg @harrymccracken At first I thought you were talking about a car, lol. Psion not Scion. Got it.

@simonlbn good luck. I ♥️ my hiding room. I don't close the door as often as I'd like, though. The resident dog likes access to all rooms. 🐶🐾

@mybarkingdogs @InternetEh Yes, let's all go outside and play while we wait for writers to be fairly compensated and come up with some (more) good material. Not kidding. For real there are options other than TV in the meantime.

@InternetEh @Ethancdavenport This gives me an even greater distaste for reality TV... I... didn't know that was possible.

@SegaTape @InternetEh there is no quality entertainment content without writers, who, like every other worker, should be properly compensated for their labor. Don’t be a scab.

it's gross people are trying to push this narrative of "this strike robs people of their favorite shows" when many people's favorite shows were canceled and memory-holed just so media companies wouldn't have to pay residuals to their creators

fucking over creatives makes entertainment worse

I will be in Blarney library #Cork on Saturday if anyone fancies a chat, and I will probably do a little reading from my book 🌸

@simonlbn funny my week starts on Monday in my head... But if the calendar starts a new line on Monday I get super confused!

We are on strike. I wish it wasn't happening and support it 100%.

I shared a story on a certain other website and someone replied "I mean this respectfully, this is awesome, I'm being sincere right now, no offense intended" and I think that's a perfect example of how freaking toxic it is over there that someone had to worry that telling me I'm awesome would be taken as rude or disrespectful or offensive

(Yes, yes, I could just de-activate but my publisher wants its authors over there to promote books!)

Kudos to the appliance repair guy who instructed me to have my husband come home from work to… turn off the circuit breaker, in this year of two thousand and twenty three when it’s literally on the wall 4 feet away and gods help me what human doesn’t know how to flip a circuit breaker it’s a basic life skill?
