I think it's pretty wild that all my grandparents and my father visited me in my dreams leading up to my engagement. They knew before I did. I'm not even woo woo either fr

There are so many new AI companies for applications that were spun up in ten seconds using Claude and they are hiring a bunch of people. I've also noticed an uptick in them hiring a kid in their 20s and calling them a CISO (because they don't want to pay a qualified person)

Another day where I come on this app to complain about being harassed by salespeople all the time. It drives me insane. I don't want your AI training product that somebody created in the last 6 months

NOLA issued a "clean zone ordinance" 2 WEEKS before Barrels on the Bayou. Tldr this ordinance was made to not stifle traffic to larger events. If this was a such concern it should've been noted when they filed the permit for the festival. Please consider signing. www.change.org/p/repeal-the...
