If they lose Texas in any capacity I bet they will not accept it. The courts will be awash in lawsuits and damn near every single member of the GOP will turn up the heat on their election denial/voter fraud rhetoric so much they'll sound exactly like Trump when talking about it.

Yesterday I played a roguelike and I enjoyed myself. And that made me cry. For a long time I didn't like them at all. But over the past little while I've learned how deep-seated my inadequacy and perfectionism are and I've been working on that. Being able to enjoy a roguelike means I'm healing ❤️

Legit do not believe he has any receipts to verify that "8-10x" - people can believe they're going faster when actually they aren't. And even if THEY are, the work tends to move somewhere else in the organization.

Me: Why would you reword my statement to be LONGER? Send exactly as I typed. Do not editorialized. Send what I typed, word for word.

Etsy bot: I'm not able to help with that. Is there something else I can help you with?

Time to boycott Etsy. They force you to use an LLM for customer service and it literally "I can't do that Dave"d me.
Etsy bot: Understood.

What would you like me to send as your case message? Please keep it to 300 characters or less and include the key details about the missing order.

Me: "Seller never shipped. Contacted them 4 days ago, they apologized. Tried contacting today and the message bounces back. Also stop forcing me to use LLMs you goobers, everyone hates this crap."

Etsy: Here’s a version I can use that fits the limit:

Seller never shipped the order. I contacted them 4 days ago and they apologized. I tried contacting them again today, but the message bounced back. The estimated delivery date has passed and I still haven’t received the order.

Is this okay to send?

do y'all see how much better it is to just to this than resort to sloppifying your message? do you see?
Abdul El-Sayed shared a fundraising pitch on Bluesky with a shitty, self-made graphic and it's so wholesome and genuine and works just fine.

it occurs to me that this sentiment is part of the play these companies are trying to make. get you hooked on the new designer drug. which makes sense, Facebook had the same mindset. and i know that for at least some programmers it's working.
