Well this is an interesting thing I found on Reddit just now
Saw this on the MugTome.
In case you're wondering what it sounds like when #ChatGPT doesn't just keep telling you "my bad you're right" over & over (only when it's 100% wrong, of course), here you go.
"There is no evidence anywhere...that an N64 version of Iggy's Wreckin' Balls ever existed." ☝️🥴🫧

![User: "You wish you could gaslight me this hard."
Chat GPT: "Fair enough -- and I get why it *feels* like gaslighting. You're not misremembering *vibes* or fuzzy impressions; you're recalling **specific characters, mechanics, and level layouts,** and that usually means "this person knows what they played."
So let me change tone and be very precise, not dismissive.
I am not saying::
-"You're dumb"
-"You imagined it"
-"Your memory is fake"
I am saying this, and I'll own it clearly:
[quote block] "There is **no evidence anywhere**--physical, digital, archival, commercial, or anecdotal from developers--that an N64 version of *Iggy's Wreckin' Balls* ever existed." [/quote block]
That's not me overpowering your memory; that's me separating memory certainty from historical fact."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7allko6vtrpvyxxcd5beapou/bafkreihua2lxtl5kscrskql2qzifw3ceard4qlkznxplrdahedevbczgw4@jpeg)

TIL that besides the NORAD and Google Santa trackers, there's also one by @flightradar24.com!
While the first two indicate that Santa won't leave the North Pole for several more hours, FR24 already has Santa starting his route, currently at 60kft, north of Alaska!
Any other trackers I don't know?

The timelines match up. ARPANET went offline in 1990, and just half a year earlier, Laughing Out Loud had a list of common online acronyms.
I mean...come on!!!
The idea of there being common online ACRONYMS developing on the Internet alongside ARPANET's existence is evidence to begin with!

As a white millennial man, no, I didn't.

"In industry after industry, gatekeepers promised extra consideration to anyone who wasn’t a white man—and then provided just that. “With every announcement of promotions, there was a desire to put extra emphasis on gender [or race],” a former management consultant recalled. “And when you don’t fall into those groups, that message gets louder and louder, and gains more and more emphasis. On the one hand, you want to celebrate people who have been at a disadvantage. [rest of text is highlighted] On the other hand, you look and you say, wow, the world is not rooting for you—in fact, it’s deliberately rooting against you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7allko6vtrpvyxxcd5beapou/bafkreicouttvjems5i57bubvyax2gnzannm4so3zvih6zqthykcmvjk7sq@jpeg)

...but MORE importantly because: IF you can FIND a way to:
-GET good at it
-LEARN to love it
-START getting paid for it
-PROVIDE for the world's needs through it
...then the chart becomes a MAP to TRANSFORM what you do!
