Pre-match nerves settling in. Just over 24 hours til I get married. At this time I’d like to turn to the wise people of Twitter for advice on the big day and all to follow...
Using Grok to generate naked images of women when you could just Google “porn” is such a tell. As ever it’s about control and creepy little guys that can’t talk to people living behind a computer screen. Generating explicit images of someone without consent should be a crime.
101 of how to cut down a tree. Genuinely interesting and now I feel like I can understand the problem more. It’s mental to me that people think they know more than experts or don’t value people who’ve spent years learning a craft/skill/area. 2/2
I come across this a lot in work, industries I have no idea about and the first thing I do is ask them to explain exactly what they do. Then I know a bit more about it for next time round. Was speaking to a guy who’s been in the forestry industry for 30 years and he gave me a 1/
I don't understand how people can be anti-expert. I love people who've been doing their thing for years.
I had to buy a suit and the woman who helped me could eyeball me and pick the perfect dress shirt. Everything fit perfectly on the first try.
I recently had a pipe burst in my apartment. The plumber was efficient and professional. The investigator from the insurance company was knowledgeable.
My default attitude to people, whether it's a university professor or a roofer, is "This is your domain, please educate me."
Elon Musk: “Mamdani is a swindler.”
Rogan (thinking Musk had a long list): “What makes him a swindler.”
Musk: “ 😶 “
(Let’s not forget Musk is largely responsible for the disaster this country has become. #BoycottTesla forever)
Tucker Carlson: "What's [AOC] like?"
Matt Gaetz: "Before Jan. 6 she was incredibly chummy with Republicans, she would regularly come over to our side, sit down, hang out... after Jan. 6 she treated us all like we had horns or something."
Genuinely baffles me when people expect any aspect of their life to stay the same post-children. I was fully braced for it and it’s still been a huge adjustment but it was one I was all-in on. When you draft a QB number 1 you need to set them up to succeed. Don’t be a bad tackle.
If you don’t want to play with your kids 9 (nine?!) times out of 10 then you probably should’ve had a longer think before you had kids cos it sounds like you still want to put yourself first the majority of the time, which you gave up when you had kids. Full yikes imo
Something I learned as a dad is that being active with your kids requires sacrifice & saying “yes”. What I mean is that you choose to play with your kids even when, especially when, you don’t want to.
I’d say 9 times out every 10 times my kids ask me to play with them, I genuinely do not want to. I would rather rest or keep up the house or the laundry or a project. I would almost never play with my kids if I only played with them when I wanted.
I know some dads are just naturally better as people than I am & can’t relate to this struggle. But if you can relate, I say try to say Yes to playing with your kids 5 out of 10 times they ask. That means for me, 4 of those times I say yes, I don’t actually want to play.
And most of those times I said “yes”, I did not regret it, whereas many times I said “no”, I felt like I wasn’t being there for my kids.
Sloppers who have AI generate art for them now complaining about people stealing their prompts has to be the most ironic and funniest outrage I've seen all decade
