  • Congratulations! You have a career.

    I recommend focusing your passions into hobbies. If you want to change careers, give yourself a time span to do so, and do NOT abandon the old career prematurely.

    Consider spending a couple years passionately pursuing your interests outside of work or in your downtime. Consider this a training period.

    Then, spend a third year where you take on some freelance clients applying your passion to small projects as a side hustle. This will make you some chump change.

    Do this for three years, learning how to expand it as a business.

    Eventually you can transition from full time career A to part time career A, part time career B, and then finally full time career B if you can sustain it and prefer it.

  • In my recent experience I would say cats are smarter than most people realize. They can learn many English words if you train them and communicate with them actively. Obviously they're not saying those words, but they respond to them. I would not be surprised if some cats figure out mirrors immediately and some take a while. I knew some idiots in grade school who probably couldn't figure it out at first

  • I know somebody who used to assist an exorcist for the Catholic Church. This person is very close to me. They have told me stories that are undeniably supernatural.

    I also had a coworker, a very honest and good man. He and his wife witnessed a hairbrush fly across their room and hit a wall after she voiced that she thought their home was haunted. That hairbrush is why they sold that house.

    Both sources described incidents with multiple witnesses that defied physical explanations. I trust both sources.

    From what I can tell, the location matters. Certain elements and rituals can trigger responses. Other than that, I don't know anything.

  • I am not saying other generative AI lack flaws, but Google's AI Overview is the most problematic generative AI implementation I have ever seen. It offends me that a company I used to trust continues to force this lie generator as a top result for the #1 search engine. And to what end? Just to have a misinformed populace over literally every subject!

    OpenAI has issues as well, but ChatGPT is a much, much better search engine with far fewer hallucinations per answer. Releasing AI Overview while the competition is leagues ahead on the same front is asinine!

  • Healthy masculinity is understanding that many younger men look up to you, so you must be a role model for them. Manifest that in whatever way you believe is best, and you are a healthy masculine person. (This is just, like, my opinion)

    FREE MEANS ALL: My two cents about new chants

    I strongly believe that this movement needs some epic, historical, unstoppable chants and slogans. I also believe that recent history proves that such chants and slogans tend to follow a simple formula: 3 words only, each word being only one syllable.

    Here are the most impactful chants of the last few decades:

    • Yes We Can.
    • Feel The Bern.
    • Eat The Rich.
    • Drain The Swamp.
    • Build The Wall.

    These appeal to short attention spans. They are emotional. Sometimes they even imply a policy. They fit on a hat or t shirt or bumper sticker. They are ear worms. They have lasted.

    When we make them wordier, they can make for a fun meme or moment, but history forgets them quickly.

    I propose we mass brainstorm similar three word chants for the issues and policies of the day, until a winning chant is adopted by a charismatic leader to challenge Trump. I hope you all encourage your peers to workshop along these lines until a clear winner emerges within the movement.

    Here are a few suggestions
