Insanity is just stupidity with enthusiasm.

@TJ_Bongiorno So, my favorite answer to give is that I write very near future science fiction with no plot.

If people are just asking to be nice, everyone says uh-huh and we move on.

@OVTweetmarck I've heard what she sings, comedy and drama at the idea of a wedding being permanent for her makes the most sense tbh.

@FiredUpCoug Oh, wow, that looks impossibly beautiful. God is such an artist sometimes.

@lars_2025 @FiredUpCoug 🤣

@theshenaniganza @memeticsisyphus Useful therapy is about 12 weeks long, and goes through a structured system of getting people to reframe their life, focus on what's good however little that is, and take back control of what they can

Crappy therapy will fixate you on your problems until that's all you can see.

@cb67462333 @BrianRoemmele A fun new game.

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

@DefiantProgram @memeticsisyphus I caught the sarcasm. I've had my coffee today, we're good.

@GlenBradley @PanVlk @memecrashes Otherwise I'd suggest Florida International for Electrical and Computer, or Alabama State (not fully online, but it's what's called a low-residency program) for Mechanical.

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

@GlenBradley @PanVlk @memecrashes Ouch, yeah, early 2000s online degrees were a joke. It's not still the same.

If you want to stay near computing, you can pick up a bachelor's in anything relevant, then the Georgia Tech OMSCS is like 8 grand for the whole program.

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

These days you can get the degree online for a song. It will probably take you no effort if you can *follow* that mathematical explanation, much less write it.

Dude, seriously, if you have any interest in still doing that you should. Source: cs faculty at a highly regarded school, and have adjuncted at another.

@megbasham But they're all just doing a compulsory assignment and the teacher is 20 and spends her weekends playing video games and may or may not have any knowledge of history or current events.

AI is, more or less, just predicting the most statistically likely word in sequence, one word at a time. So it isn't Ever actually "answering" you. There are ways and means of making it respond more accurately to the world after it makes those statistical calculations, but it's much more like one of those stories where a classroom full of people all writes one word at a time.

Except that the students are all participating, the student choosing the next word is listening to the feedback of their peers, and there's a teacher making sure nobody breaks it on purpose.

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

Quite a thorough explanation. Probably a bit much as a response to someone who admits they've never heard of Riemann and not into math, though.

Thus I have a theory... are you an engineer?

That or you went to some really good private schools :)

But anyhow you saved me looking up Riemann, because I was curious if this alternate interpretation made sense, so thanks.

@FiredUpCoug 3. Rough looking birch with issues or Aspen 5. Oak.

I think 1 is an evergreen of some kind, and I know I've seen 4 but I can't think of it.

No idea on 2 or 6, but if I had seen it by itself without 5 I'd have said 6 was an oak.

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

@greg16676935420 Close, tbh

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

@SkylarSkye3 Seems right. Why, how many do you get?

[DefinitelyAFan @RhenWren]

@TRHLofficial Smores :)

@DaveEDanna Every time I buckle a belt and have a tab of fabric left, it reminds me of where I came from.

Never quit. Keep going.
