This feels like a very smart and deliberate protest on performativity of these messages. Besides the credit to chatgpt it is completely believable. Like even the computer can do it, I hope this inspires people. It made me cry

What did it turn off in mice? After reading this I have no idea what this does

I don't know, somewhat recently I went to a Halloween party because I saw a flier for it and it started early, had food included with the door entry, didn't know the organization throwing it but it looked cool. Turned out to be a senior citizens nudist dance party, I was the youngest person by 40 years. Sometimes you just need to throw caution to the wind and get naked, dance, and eat fried chicken with the elderly, it was a blast.

Those do exist? "What is this a half-nude buffet party?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY8BSHVWGxk

This product looks great, but I can’t get over how fresh the design of the landing page is. Great work

I’ve had one employer that “soft” pushed employees to do social advertising on their personal accounts. I quit shortly after, it made me unbelievably uncomfortable and was a sign of a culture that my life is incompatible with my temperament. Before quitting I just completely disengaged from social media (no apps on my phone, passwords too confusing to remember stored on a computer I didn’t bring to work). I don’t think I even realized I was doing it, and in the language of 2023, I think I was “soft quitting”

I think you might be looking for a founder wonder child and your kid might be fine just working to live. If his life is well rounded while maintaining academic success I think you should feel relieved. He’ll probably have a career, maybe in a “safe” or corporate environment, and have terrific amount of freedom to balance his less lucrative interests to find pleasure, and pursue meaningful connections with friends and romantic partners. Sounds like you have a smart kid going to college to find a job

I think the new version is just being the person who owns no car and just Uber blacks everywhere.

I have pocket notepads with mini pens stashed everywhere. When I go walking I like to take a tiny recorder that I can start the recording as I’m getting it out of my pocket(I have two from Zoom, highly recommend their products)

Paradais by Fernanda Melchor was the only book I literally could not put down till I finished. It’s a short book, but extremely visual. I read it maybe six months ago and the whole story has played through my head since then.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just grabbed a copy.

When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamín Labatut was that book for me this year. It's an odd blend of fact and fiction covering a handful of 20th century physics and math discoveries. Alexander Grothendieck, Einstein, Schrödinger and Heisenberg all appear.
