It only just clicked that "birthday card" literally means it's made of card. So an eCard obviously doesn't use actual card, it's the metaphysical concept of a card instead. Birthday cards written on paper should be birthday paper. Same goes for wrapping paper. It's paper. Just printed.

US slang in nytimes Connections today? Again? ffs this needs a British version Looking at the crossword in general, all Americans think about is baseball and hockey

UK annual budget figures Total spending £1.3tn Paying for migrants < 1% (About £10bn) (Though, they pay £20bn/year tax, so migrants provide a net positive) Unpaid tax through tax evasion of millionaires like Farage -17% (About £220bn)

This is big. Soon you'd need a credit card to access adult content games on Steam. Not a debit card, a credit card. Something not everyone over 18 has. Hopefully this sends a message to the government why the bill should be repealed. share.google/cy9zcnh42KHe...

There's no such thing as illegal migrants/routes Migration and trans people being the problem are a distraction created by multi millionaires & billionaires, like Farage, who are evading tax, accepting bribes from fossil fuels & making poor people poorer migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/br...

Hate the bit of debugging where you become convinced your computer is haunted.

Klaatu's speech in The Day The Earth Stood Still remains stark and clear as ever today - that aggression is not tolerated, and there are far bigger ventures we should be spending time on than in war with each other. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASsN...

I cried *so hard* at this scene, even now. Aerith's mum flashback in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Gut-wrenchingly sad. Never cried harder playing a game before. youtu.be/1ap62NuFUsk?...

Farage is a snake oil salesman He's selling you lies and distractions, never talking about policy And 92% of his funding is from oil and gas companies paying him to say renewables are bad

Thoughtcrime will become real - your Google searches, if deemed suspicious, may get flagged and treated as terrorism. I understand the necessity to catch criminals before they attack, but the IOPC will be important in handling false positives. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Don't waste your time hanging out with anyone who brings you down all the time. Pessimists, cynics, critics. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you, who want to see you happy and be the best version of you, and help lift you up.

LLMs are not alive. They are basically decision trees. They are not actually trying to survive, they are just trying to talk like we talk without understanding it - like a parrot. +

Monogamy is rare, common in very few species We are hard wired to desire new experiences Bonobos have sex like we have handshakes More than half of marriages end in divorce

Reform are the worst option. Farage will destroy this country and its people. No NHS - private only. Insurance based like the US. Removing human rights (ECHR, originally called the Magna Carta). Kidnapping and deporting people like ICE. +
