I read Robert McNamara’s “In Retrospect” shortly after it came out because I pulled it off a library shelf. So I was ~13yo. Turns out it had a rather significant impact on how I think about “the world.” Was that an appropriate book for a 13yo? Not for developing docile citizens!.
I would like a library service where I put in the age and general interests of my kids and I get a curated bag of 10 books that I can pick up weekly. Is that so lazy? Yes. but my kids pulling every book off the shelf just for me to say “that’s not appropriate” isn’t working lol.

Oh, it’s not that one fatigue but that other fatigue. Got it. Now let me do some bodily analysis now that we’ve “cleared” that up.
I love how the diagnostic symptoms for any one medical condition imagine a person having no other medical conditions. Seems like an unsolvable problem, but what does one do when the diagnostic symptoms of a condition are already present due to another condition?.

Ai is perfect for a system that hates humans and is fine demonstrating its hate of people while simultaneously vaguely duplicating the lowest bar of human interaction via non-human agents.
As someone who's been applying for months I can say from personal experience that qualified employees are buried in AI-generated rejections. Great system we've set up here.

Next to impossible to go to those places with particular medical conditions. And, no, they don’t give a single fuck about legally-mandated accommodations.
ngl i lowkey hate how you just aren't allowed to bring a bag anywhere, no shows, concerts, sporting events etc. Just makes it less feasible to come straight from work or elsewhere less you have a car.
