it is a way of signaling that you are going to say something a little blunt or negative, the kind of thing you might sometimes omit to be polite. autistic people sometimes struggle with this because we can have very black and white views about honesty

one time I picked up an interviewee at the airport and offered to swing by a cool coffee place on the way in. she told me that she's used to really good coffee because she's from L.A. so could we please just go to Starbucks

Its profane that it has to know about a harry potter fanfic, a sex cult and a sankey diagram to understand why Athropic and OpenAI cannot be trusted to write the regulations. Profane. Vulgar. Ishtar will not shine her light on you for this madness.

"here's a harsh truth the left doesn't want you to know" is saturated as a genre. everything possible has already been said. I don't know what could replace it (pictures of capybaras? just spitballing here) but we have to move on

I don't understand how palm readers are so popular when they all just talk the same nonsense about how you are a harbinger of the return of the Old Ones. "you are destined for madness," "you must not open the portal," etc.

I averaged ~350 words/day on a creative project over the last month. It doesn't sound like a lot but for me it definitely is, especially given that I worked 55+ hours/week at my actual job for a couple weeks in there
