It is amazing how much the brain does when you tell it to take a break and go on a walk.

When I struggled with something writing-wise I take a walk. And 100% of the time I end up figuring out the solution. I would never, ever, ever, ask a machine to do that for me. Wtf.

sure it's just not gonna give them as easy an answer as possible "hey LLM give me a data dump of everyone who answered yes to the following questions"

Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 23h

Awesome. Can I DM you with some questions? They aren’t legal questions, just questions about what I would need to help someone who needs help.

Bison at least don't fuck with you until you fuck with them. Moose, on the other hand, will kill you for fun.

It is an inexcusable omission, and editorial malpractice, for Reuters to omit mention that the President doing this kind of thing on a media platform he owns & has not divested is unprecedented, likely illegal and an ethical violation. The message itself is unprecedented and illegal. Why not say so?

At this point in time, I am a fat post-menopausal neurodivergent female (their word) who no longer serves a biological purpose according to this administration.

If there's some way I can avoid that information ending up in a big ol' database that identifies me as such I'd like that.

Plz note that NOTHING in here or their website when you click on it says "we are taking you to a third party website, and that third party is going to use chatbots and also train their robot on your data."

Reminder: Complete your Health Assessment
It’s time well spent.

A Health Assessment is a quick and convenient way to get a snapshot of your health and well-being.

It’s important to complete your Health Assessment each year to stay on top of your health, learn ways to improve your well-being, and help you understand your key risk areas.

This survey is confidential and will not be shared with your employer, so be sure to answer freely and honestly. Your results will also create a more customized Cigna Healthcare® Wellness Experience for you.

Y'all even if I trusted LLMS, in the day and age of These Fuckers Being in Charge, I do not want anything to do with my information becoming data they can use. Please stop it.

I think it's the grinding in house that's the problem. I'm having the same issue and can't find ground pork except frozen from some other place.
