gigantic bottles of expensive and vintage expensive perfume *everywhere.* once I noticed it I was like "oh look, more perfume."

I remember when Microsoft Word first had like the grammar checker introduced into word. It was absolutely infuriating. I was so angry at it. I shut that off because I could not handle it.

Now I don’t use word at all

You have to go to particular effort to use software that is LLM free these days. In an industry that runs on MS office, that level of control is very difficult.

Personally I use software that has a dictionary file and zero guidance on grammar, but I had to very much choose that.

every time. A fussy little dictionary file is really handy for that.

No redemption for him, that bastard.

and if they want to prosecute him, he's going to testify under oath to tell the truth, so I guess this is the part where we start asking when the trial is

when i was hearing the stories still spun as, this isn't going to be a big deal, i thought about two things:

1. In 1989, I had a lot of conversations with a research aerovirologist about how coronaviruses are nearly always airborne

2. I knew all about the Zul'gurub plague in WoW in 2005.

it feels bad. it's either a dangerous level of out of touch obliviousness or it's trying to see where the line is by stepping.

if it's the first one, there's no guarantee they'll learn

if it's the second, there's no guarantee they'll stop
