8 years olds, dude

Or how you accidentally steal someone’s cat…

So… nihilism?

It’s crazy how much more you can get done in one calm uninterrupted hour than in a whole very active afternoon.

Congratulations, you are now an “early riser.” Enjoy the hours from 4-6 am where nothing happens and nobody bothers you (unless you have kids…)

Maybe they’re a chatbot?

I’m not saying it’s good (because it’s not) but I’m unfortunately pretty certain they’re correct.

Never learning any lessons

The rich are now richer than they have ever been in history while we grumble about it on the internet. I think they just didn’t learn the lesson we might have liked them to have learned…

They are also implicitly aggressive animals

You’re not wrong, and I prefer cats as well…but cats are violent, homicidal monsters and if they were big enough they would absolutely murder the fuck out of you (as soon as they were done toying with you).

I would pay for AI-enhanced hardware…but I haven’t yet seen anything that AI is enhancing, just an emerging product being tacked on to everything they can for an added premium.

They both have smiles. As far as I’m concerned, that’s enough.

Well, $1 from you and 100 other people. Those politician bribes campaign donations are cheap compared to the aggregate profit they make off them.

It’s got flavah

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).

I originally read the title as “it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study” but it appears it’s actually “it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries.”

I’m most interested in the Dinosaur Quiz.

This is similar to something I assumed right before I had a long argument with a high school physics teacher. We ended up agreeing that he just didn’t really care.

The problem with hearing when a note isn’t right is that by the time you hear it you’ve already played it…

As someone who could never get used to just kinda eyeballing where a note is supposed to be, I strongly disagree about the trombone.

Why would I unload my emotional baggage on the people who caused it in the first place? That just sounds like more baggage.

Edit: This was supposed to be a joke. You can stop pointing out my complex trauma, thank you.
