It is fascinating how satellite cultures all grappled with Chinese characters in novel ways: * Japanese hiragana : cursive turned into syllabary * Korean hangeul : new alphabet using components from Chinese. * Vietnamese Chũ-Nôm : phonetic characters * Tangut : just make up fake Chinese characters.

This sounds like a Star Trek DS9 episode in the unaired season 8.

A picture of two young, black men : one flipping off a passing police car, the other taking a drag on some kind of herbal roll.

Captions are as follows:
- Odo : police car
- Quark : flipping off Odo
- Morn : taking a drag

I read to my son every night until he was about 11.* Then, one day, he didn't need it anymore. He grew to be a well-rounded, outgoing boy. 🥰 Please, read to your kids as long as they need it. It really works. * In later years it was mostly R.A.Salvatore's Drizzt series, glossing the graphic stuff.

They aren't learning from the experience, I feel, but that's small comfort. That said, these are good people, not lazy "AI bros". Just younger and maybe less stubborn than I am.

It's depressing to say the least. I work with a lot of good people, but the industry is changing and either I have to adapt or else. Which sucks because I am not *that* close to retirement yet. I still have to stay relevant somehow in the next decade.

Eric Schmitt: Were you or were you not a criminal for much of your life, operating under a number of aliases? And, dirtbag, did you or did you not commit a series of homicides in Victorian England in 1888? Jack Smith: Sir, that was Jack the Ripper.

That's why I refuse to use it myself. As an experienced person in my field, I have a lot to draw upon to get the work done, but it's hard to demonstrate this to people who are not in the field.

That's what I some times have to tell myself, but it's hard to convince others of your worth as an employee when other people just get more done. 😞
