Just as I was feeling somewhat dismayed about my completely b******* decision to put $1000 in credit suisse long ago Lol me. Trying to decide whether to double down or just ride the ride and hope that Swiss banks are Swiss Banks at the end of the day. The good news is the buying Netflix on the low ...

"You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear, please, go the fu12 to sleep."

Phoebe

Okay this time I will go ahead and put another card on my stack.
This one will be card number three.

Phoebe

Two other recent examples that temper my inclination to be absolutist about free speech and open platforms in this legal context: First is that when you go on YouTube, they have a new thing where short videos will play, Tik-tox style, as you scroll down from video you were watching. I don't know if ...

Phoebe

I play card two to my stack.

Phoebe

I'm a Stankonia gal myself. The foot move at about 2:44 just about kills me, I'm stabbed in the gut, it's hilarious but also spectacular. Astrology is bs but yet again, here's what it is to be an Aquarius. He's like a green-suited, fur-coated Mozart (another Aquarius). Mr. Patton also voted for Gary...

Phoebe

Aha! I thought I had sent it already - will try again!

Kyle's phone, telling him that it's going to be 85 and good? Maybe that's what happens when you get a Fitbit. My phone doesn't give me any of that because I don't have a Fitbit?

Phoebe

Holy s*** how do you get your phone to find out that it's going to be a good day before you even have to get out of bed?!

Phoebe

Spare by Harry? Nahhhh here are some serious votes: "The Lifeguards" by Amanda Eyre Ward "Gratitude" by Oliver Sacks "An Immense World" by Ed Yong Because all of these three I started reading but haven't had time to pick up again due to having to read other books I desi...

Me, Mike, Kyle, Kyle, Mike

Phoebe

Can I bid five and take all these cards and see what happens? If so I do!

Phoebe

Better than the whole thing I guess?

Oily? Why would he be oily? Seems kind of rude honestly.

Knowing that someone else is going to just say Google it, but trying to have a conversation. What is an ESG? I think it stands for Environmental, Social, and (corporate) Governance. The idea is that fund managers might create a portfolio including only companies that meet whatever standards in thes...

Phoebe

Ooo, this was actually released yesterday and I didn't know about it until this morning! Phone, don't you even know me anymore? Of course I want to see this. Novel design argument: the universe, that it is. Okay, his smart friend won't care about this one either. It's still very pleasing song though...

Phoebe

Icing the dream? King the dream? I don't know the lingo of the kids these days.

Phoebe

Someone tell me what I'm missing here. For pretty much forever it seems there have been ESG investment options at various firms and brokerages. Back in the day like 30 years ago I had to go seek my own version of this out with a Catholic company that probably did not exactly match my values but at l...

Phoebe

I like! It's hard for me to get the full happy mellow vibe from this song when the person in the room directly above me is blasting Lizzo's Boys with heavy bass, but I'm making it work regardless. https://youtube.com/watch?v=bEeaS6fuUoA&feature=shares Report from the frontlines of the experiment...

Phoebe

I choose Card 2 from my hand.

Phoebe

What does that mean? You got thick? Hm. Was it the back squats?

Phoebe

I forgot to update this. A miracle occurred. The child arrived at the house with a boyfriend who was extremely polite in a manner that suggested training, and he was also extremely good looking. I can discern no other possible reason to recommend him as a boyfriend, which is not great, but polite an...

Phoebe

I might ask some friends on Facebook if they'd want to try it too. I had my best success doing an online type of campaign by text with friends from college, because they were highly motivated to do this specific storyline and everybody kind of knew what to expect from each other. A long time ago I t...

It's probably easiest if one person adopts the role of "GM" or maybe one should say, "GM wrangler"? AI Wrangler? So that person is going to summarize a sequence of actions, or a dialogue, etc or different steps in a combat, and enter them in the AI to get a response. I think of i...

Phoebe

Oh wow these are such sad stories. But a lot of people are really alone in this way. They don't have someone to check up on them, or people at work might well be the ones who see them most regularly.

Phoebe

Right? I love to problem solve, but. I have yet to hear (or come up on my own*) a way to make school sports "fair" when one player may have higher testosterone than others (or not even, that might be moot and they're only relying on knowing the player's backstory) without that rule being ...

Phoebe

The idea that it's fair game to target a minor because they're trans is disgusting to me (and we're seeing it more and more). It shows that the anti-trans crowd don't view these kids as actual people, but some kind of monsters or something that don't deserve basic respect. It's so disgusting. So tr...

Phoebe

Does anyone want to try this? In a fairly casual way? I mention it because I'm actually trying to research the chat GPT for work and it would be interesting and useful to me to spend a little time learning how to operate it.

Phoebe

They continue to double down as the story spreads, with fanciful tales of a dominant super tall player. They continue to post pictures of the objecting Christian school team, which has one particularly tall player, to illustrate this point. Those who have looked into it enough to realize which team ...

Phoebe

I've been experimenting with the AI text generator (s) - there are different ones and for all I know someone will build one specific to this issue of fictional story generation or even RPG specific generation. However, I think it would be really cool to attempt an RPG in which the chat GPT functions...

Phoebe

Okay if you're absolving me for responsibility for being a rational thinker then I'm in.

Phoebe

Review of the morning news brings us to the girls state basketball championship in Vermont. Why on earth? It turns out a Christian school forfeited the championship because they did not want their team playing against another team they suspected of having a trans girl on the team. I don't think conc...

Phoebe

He may have announced but I did not hear of it yet - I hope that he does because he seems like "Adult In The Room" of the kind needed. There are probably a few others who could fill this role and also have some possible chance of winning a primary. The good news is that the most urgent top...

Phoebe

I am interested but feel like it's the kind of game one could in theory figure out, with logics and reasonable predictions, and yet I'm so tired and storing up any scrap of good cognitive function for work, I don't know if I could handle it or keep up. I would be sad to do it poorly, knowing that ba...

Phoebe

Okay I take it back, I'm going to stop preventing it
As soon as I said this I realized I'm lying, because occasionally I have the actual power to force people not to sanitize things and I'm going to exercise it like a tyrant!

Phoebe

Also, didn't none of us have a problem when they did this same thing to eliminate Seuss's racist stuff? I honestly don't remember this, and it's making me worry about my mind. The only thing that comes up is when people like Ted Cruz were mad for some reason and reading Dr Seuss on the floor of Con...

Phoebe

Current favorite... I'm unable to escape the inexplicable powers of Mr Moneybagg Yo, or maybe he's just Mr Yo, Money, M. B. Yo, who comes in at the end and casually destroys the whole track with his little feature. It must be hard to be a fairly decent rapper and put out a track like this, good job,...

Phoebe

Way too much morning involved in this one so far.

Phoebe

Every once in a while Biden seems to have a flash of political brilliance, like this whole Norfolk Southern train derailment response. GOP hopping mad, insisting on congressional hearings, hoping to extend this all year. Biden is like please, please don't throw me in that briar patch!

Phoebe

The question stirred up another point that concerned me: The reason I wanted to read the rise and fall of the third Reich was purely because of the way the book was packaged. It stood out from other books on the shelf by being shiny gleaming black with its big eye catching symbol. I didn't know what...

Phoebe

I haven't followed the debate about Dahl but my reason for not wanting it adulterated is that that's how he wrote it. If that makes it a bad book for little kids, so be it. Just like Huck Finn, they'll have to read it when they're older if it still has value then. I feel the same way about things li...

Phoebe

I was going to object to these truncated and watered down tame versions of the wicked classics because you know, All or nothing baby!!! Purism! But then I realized I have a truncated Bible. I actually have more than one - like the super simple one for toddlers and small children and then a slightly ...

Phoebe

I think I can say with confidence that your parenting methods are better than mine, and I don't mean that to be self-disparaging because I know that my methods are coming from a pure place of desire for the good of the child. But my methods don't work. I need to try to say less about it but also to ...

Phoebe

It's just magical. For such a long time I was eating baked potatoes and scalloped potatoes and other kinds of potato recipes, but the smashed potatoes are so easy and ... that crust! Those crusty little crusts!

Phoebe

I stopped reading Scott Adam's comic back during the Trump era, and this latest bit with him just makes me that much sure it was the right decision. And Random House, is it really necessary to edit Roald Dahl's books? I like it when the racists just come right out clearly with their evil so we can ...

Phoebe

Reflections on this subject from a year plus later are quite interesting. One child has a tame and pleasant stable relationship that causes no concerns; another child has no such relationships but also does not appear to want any, which is great in my book; both of these kids also have lots of healt...

Phoebe

If we are what we eat, how much of us is a potato? I've been eating so many potatoes my whole life and the preferred delivery mode for the potato flows in waves. The current method is so superior. I still use other methods, such as roasting lengthwise sliced potatoes in lemon juice and spices, or ju...

Whatever the most recent unit of Picard is, I have seen it. This is the one with Seven? I want to like it and I do like many things about it, but the writing is so disappointing. I feel like a committee of all the people who post on this particular site could sit down for 2 hours and come up with an...
