This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Lesbophobic society can't handle our romance.

not having a robust public transit system is lesbophobic. gay girls need medium-long train rides so they can fall asleep on each other while coming back from fun day & weekend trips that take an unexpectedly sweet and flirty turn

My bet is that this is a confession to having a fetish for women with this style, and seeing one in real life is an upsetting reminder we're actual people.

Is it not well known that the parts of Gein's sexual motive that inspired Buffalo Bill was the invention of the officer who interrogated him? It's a textbook example of how interrogators can get a suspect, especially a delusional one, to confirm any wild theory they have simply by feeding it to them

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to burn moisture farmers alive, even if they are believed to be smuggling the Death Star plans."

Matt Cameron @mattcameron.bsky.social · 15d

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️
