What he's not saying is those "friends" will seem like real people. Your years-long friendship will culminate when they convince you to buy a specific truck. Suddenly, they'll blink out of existence, having delivered a conversion to the company who spent $3.47 to fund their life.

This is a classic trial lawyer’s technique:
The lawyer leads the witnesses to decide between two possible explanations of an event, both of which poke a hole in their story.
They have to answer the lawyer’s questions, but whatever they say they hurt themselves.

Fact: 94% of US newsfeeds are filled with only bad news.
When good things happen, they don't cover it.
Ever wonder why?
Join the bright side ✨

My friend Jin is an incredible movement artist. Their live performances are electric & inspiring!
Had to create an avatar worthy of their vibe. These spline-based creatures feel as organic as Jin's movement.
You can find her on Instagram at jinleebaobei 🫶🏽⚡️

It costs $0 to RT this disabled girl’s designs 🫶🏻
I can’t make a living wage because of my disabilities and I have to pay rent, so I design jewelry, pins, and more all from my bed!
20% of proceeds go to help gaza/sudan until the end of july!

The most spiritual thing you can do is make yourself in a way in which you genuinely like yourself.
Make yourself in way in which you don’t have to escape yourself.
Then your life will be an expression of joy, not a pursuit of happiness.
We destroy the world in our pursuit of happiness.
In the pursuit of happiness through stimulation from this very phone I’m holding, we dig up the earth and enslave our fellow humans.
We enslave the least powerful among us to find the rare earth minerals it takes to power our devices so we can chase, money, power, fame, sex and that next hit of dopamine, in the pursuit of happiness.
No guilt, shame or fear needed though. We’re just burning through our desires and karma as my brother @TheUncLuke astutely noted in his most recent post, and put into practice in his latest chapter of life. 🙏🏼❤️🫡

Wow, a whole 4% annualized return on investment even before tax, interest, and maintenance costs. What a deal

As your senator, I will do something that no other U.S. senator does: I will publicly explain each and every vote I take, just as I did when I served in the U.S. House, so that everyone at home can know what we are voting on and why I voted the way I did.

I always hated that when I studied Physics, I had no intuition of what order I could study topics in, except linear.
The latest LLM use-case I love is feeding the Table of Contents of a textbook and asking it to create the dependency graph of topics!
Here are some: Physics

Reminder to self:
MOST PEOPLE ARE BAD AT FLIRTING
MANY WHO ARE GOOD AT IT ARE PSYCHO
THE MOST SKILLED AND HONORABLE FLIRTERS ARE OFTEN UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD
YOU WILL HAVE TO PRACTICE AS A BAD FLIRTER WITH BAD FLIRTERS TO GET A CHANCE TO BECOME GOOD

On TikTok there is AdjusterTok, where work from home insurance agents video their side of calls explaining how car insurance works to irritated people, and it’s quite sobering stuff. People don’t really know what insurance is, it’s just some magical thing to make stuff better.

I think maybe what was blocking me previously was the assumption that mimicry was somehow disrespectful or inauthentic, but I now see that as long as you can be honest about what specifically you are mimicking and why, the mimicry can be totally respectful and authentic.

My small town rural fire department has a fundraiser. You can tell them you want one of your neighbors to "get flocked", and for a small donation they will fill their front yard with pink plastic flamingos. You can flock someone else to get rid of them. Flock protection is $10.
