I’ve never in my life had a reason to use a microfilm machine to look at old newspapers but I do know eventually, that will be the only way to crack the case

Economic indicator of the day: called local lego secondhand store to ask about the process for selling them legos Was given the heads up that prices are lower than normal because “a lot of people have been selling their collections lately”

If you've used 100% of your dropbox storage, that's your problem. If you're used 2423.26% of your dropbox storage, that's dropbox's problem

The crucial context of this review is that people were leaving bad reviews for this apple tree because there weren't any apples at the time of year when they visited, so I felt the need to defend the tree because real life is not Animal Crossing and fruit trees don't grow fruit year-round

Reflecting on how I think my most meaningful piece of writing was a Google Maps review I wrote about a single apple tree
A google review with a picture of an apple tree that reads as follows:

Trees grow in seasons, as do you. Be patient with both nature and yourself. I visited in late August and the tree was abundant in both apples and color.

So much in this life cost money, but the view of this tree from a publicly accessible walking path is free. Watch your step at the bottom of the hill though, as some of the fruit likes to roll downhill.

I guess it’s hard to say, since we definitely all have our internal struggles, but there have been times that I’ve felt similar things and then winded up feeling reassured and welcomed by the people in those spaces, and other times when the vibe of those spaces reinforced my insecurities

I would simply like to live my quiet little life as a trans woman and buy fruit and sing and walk my dog and wave to my neighbors and watch movies and use restrooms without being the subject of a culture “war” where both political parties agree I’m a disgusting freak who doesn’t deserve civil rights

If it’s a “meds were working but not aren’t” situation, I typically try to take a tolerance break with a day off meds every 1-2 weeks But if it’s not that than yeah, finding a level that works well is important, and often that involves increases because doctors will start you low

As an example from another millennium prize, proposed solutions have additional hurdles to pass before they’re considered “solved”, so it’s not inaccurate to still call it “open”

Claimed solutions
While the P versus NP problem is generally considered unsolved, many amateur and some professional researchers have claimed solutions.
Gerhard J. Woeginger compiled a list of 116 purported proots from 1986 to 2016,
of which 61 were proofs of P = NP, 49
were proofs of P # NP, and 6 proved other results, e.g. that the problem is undecidable. 53. Some attempts at
resolving P versus NP have received brief media attention, 4) though these attempts have been refuted.

I’m studying Human-Computer Interaction right now and one of the things I really enjoy about the subfield is that it provides opportunities to grapple with these kinds of questions about how technology affects society (as well as more zoomed-in bits about how we make technology more intuitive)

My partner and I are packing up our house to move and I’m really struck with how I would have loved for this to be the type of work that society focused on automating, instead of writing, drawing, music, and coding Large Language Models? 😒 I need some Large Language Movers!

This whole genre of opinion piece where it's like "AI is unavoidable, you can't just NOT use it" seems both factually wrong, and designed to pad the AI company stock prices even further, and I don't think they need the help yet

I think even listening to the less-than-smart people using it will give people an opportunity to understand the appeal and limitations. Like the article seems to be directed to professors, who will already have to deal with AI-plagiarized assignments anyway...

Like if you’re going to read Harry Potter to your kids or whatever you can at least not post about it. Just feel the guilt and shame you know you deserve instead of trying to publicly convince yourself it’s okay.

A character that’s a sheltered nepo baby with amnesia really is a good excuse for characters to humor you as the player and explain basic concepts that most people in that world understand
Another screenshot from Tales of the Abyss, this time a character Jade is saying “my apologies, I’d forgotten the young master here hasn’t a clue about the world around him”

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

It’s possible they’re fake, since sometimes people doing polls or surveys will include things like fake names or books or whatever to see if people are just selecting random answers (and then exclude their responses from results)
