My life is my dad joke. Be kind to yourself, and if you can't do that, learn to accept it by being kind to others. "Quotes" are usually AI generated tweets. ORI

A surprising percentage of people out there are just a couple of doses of positive regard away from letting their natural instincts improve their lives. Could you give someone a gentle nudge today? It might be the love they need to let themselves grow without picking at it.

People are going to have to accept that dating doc-ers are a type, and that it doesn’t have to be for everybody
I met my fiance on OkCupid before dating docs were a thing I was definitely most drawn to the super long profiles. The ones resembling modern day dating docs My own profile was super long, and my fiance was VERY interested after reading it

It's like my soul is all folded up inside me and wants to be taken out, pressed flat, and woven into a special place for me...somewhere in this world that is a perfect Joshua shape... that has always been that way. And yet... where might that be? I've been all around the world.

Hear me out: Uber, but for parental love
Basically I think I would feel less uneasy about this if the father quit working for a few years to become the primary caregiver, or even if the paternal grandmother raised the baby full time This is not a role suitable for an at-will employee

The reason it’s incredibly hard to break out of a “kind lie” doom loop is because the longer it’s gone on, the more unkindness is needed to get back on track. And the fact that you’re in this situation to begin with probably means your culture will hate that.

Pls people go respond to Nadia's post so I can make a more detailed plot!!
questions on crying alone vs. in front of someone: 1) whenever you legitimately cry, do you mostly cry alone? 2) does being held by someone while breaking down crying feel like it's some kind of luxury? 3) were there ever negative consequences for you when you broke down crying

“I can fix them” << “we could work on ourselves together” Still, you want someone who doesn’t see you as a fixer upper, nor someone who thinks they’re damaged, nor someone who needs to hide their shadow, nor… I guess look for someone who is happily working on themselves

I feel like these tools could be helpful for mid- and highbies
i hate this place man. something being common in the past doesn't tell us anything about what's right, wrong, good, bad, or "natural". stop using it as an argument

Last one for today! This one is based on a CONVERSATION transcript. Very cool, if I do say so myself. Useful? Eh... maybe not. But it's fun!

...and I threw the essay into the JAWS of my LLM-powered argument graphing device! I love this so much. 🥳 What do you guys think? Do you like the "pure reason" approach? Would you use this as a conversational interface?
wrote an essay about this hypothetical point in society's hierarchy (where competence flips / becomes inverted). Inspired by @_opencv_ and @BishPlsOk link: https://t.co/PQ6yiBwlY0

Aella arguments are the funnest arguments In this episode, I demo a NEW approach—ask the LLM to map the argument space and tie tweets back into that. It makes a much more coherent and inviting graph, IMO
Lol I didn't expect *this* of all things to be a message that would cause ppl to lose it in the replies
