@sameoldstory.co I don’t think it does because it implies a mutuality and familiarity that doesn’t often exist in these interactions

@sameoldstory.co What brought this to mind is the way a lot of posters here talk about Bluesky leadership, though there are a number of other posters that obviously also qualify
@sameoldstory.co There are posters I dislike naturally, sometimes quite a lot, which is probably not healthy either but I don’t think that’s exactly what I mean here
@charltoncussans.bsky.social that person brings up meth like that all the time
@nwylabour.bsky.social I think there must be connection between this and Bluesky’s disporpor large population of people who don’t/can‘t enjoy short form video
@sameoldstory.co us and Claude
@lappypercival.bsky.social what’s it like to be this brave
@hikikomorphism.bsky.social Not on my device, this same prompt just makes mine deny any religion is real
@sameoldstory.co Gemini has been thinking a lot about ancient polytheism
@sameoldstory.co Claude just won’t do it
@sameoldstory.co I miss the back of the book being a summary of its content and one of the first few pages being a snippet of some interesting upcoming scene
@sameoldstory.co Curse whatever recent trend that convinced people “deep”, an almost meaningless word when it comes to writing, is in fact the highest praise
@sameoldstory.co Another thing that is annoying is the back of every book is like this now. I believe this is a quality book but all the books have these blurbs so this really doesn’t indicate that, or anything else about the book! I find this review style v annoying too (not LLM-generated but slop nonetheless)
@sameoldstory.co I also extremely suck at taking books back to the library which can’t happen with my ebooks on Libby (which represents pretty much all my reading this year)
@thewanderingjew.bsky.social allegedly, I never got that far
@leonenglish.bsky.social I assume all presidential libraries conventionally have a section labeled Regrets
@sameoldstory.co It should be illegal to be sick this long, I was sick my entire planned five-day weekend and have had to extend my “vacation“ an additional day. Again, not sure how parents in non-generous leave-granting jobs survive
@manton I have used Gemini to get an answer real fast on a computer thst wasn’t mine by going to google.com, so that probably counts me as a “user” even though I don’t think of myself as one. So I believe it
@proptermalone.bsky.social this discourse is running into some class divisions tbh. “college student” naturally means “18-22 year old who lives in the dorms 75% of the year and with their parents 25% of the year and doesn’t work” to a lot of people (a lot of blueskis too) but this is actually a minority of college students
@figgityfigs.bsky.social listen ronald reagan did nothing wrong
@proptermalone.bsky.social I believe Tom is himself going off on a rant tangent from a conversation about Hong’s loss (and if college students could/should have helped her)
@figgityfigs.bsky.social Tom uses ”paying taxes” in that thread as a reason you deserve to vote somewhere so to him this isn’t contradictory at all
@sameoldstory.co D. also gets locked in when she watches it and gets pissed when I turn it off in a way that just doesn’t happen when she’s watching older cartoons she also seems to enjoy, causing me to suspect yes, all short form video
@sameoldstory.co There’s also a metric ton of merch out there and it’s all garbage, genuinely this is shockingly low quality and cynical stuff that I’m sure the well meaning creators have no involvement in, and my daughter will beg for it all, using techniques she cribbed straight from the show
@sameoldstory.co I could choose to see this as additional opportunities to practice my patience but my kids actually have invented a number of those lessons themselves already, I don’t need Bandit’s burdens too!!!
