I like New Year Resolutions, so here goes:

1. get my French to C1 level
2. Go to the theatre more often
3. Drink lots of good wine
4. Go to champagne and buy lots of champagne
5. Get a six pack (almost impossible)

I went to the boulangerie the other day and asked for 2 croissants but I must’ve said the Turkish for two which is iki. Cue, young girl looking me, me looking at young girl and me starting to wonder what had fucked up and where. When it’s more complicated it’s easy bc I’m focused but the easy shit 🤦🏻‍♂️

I just stared at him so he said it again more slowly. Then I said “non, je suis Anglaise” and then he said in English “oh I thought maybe you were German” and I’m like, MATE, I KNOW THE WORDS FOR HANDICAPPED AND GERMAN. Then he started trying to flirt with me, because French dude gonna French dude.

No. I had a Portuguese friend who was learning French and it was driving her nuts.

Spielberg asked Tom to write the screenplay for Jaws, and Tom said he was writing for the BBC. Spielberg said, 'I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?

"No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."

There is the pleasure of coming out with a French idiom translated directly into English and watching blank incomprehension cross peoples faces. I might as well have pissed in a violin

Christmas is approaching, the season of giving, and this December I have decided to make a gift of my dignity by bravely/foolishly joining in a festive season challenge. Every day this month I will (attempt to) do 100 press-ups, to raise money for this fine cause: www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-he...

It’s a stupid answer to a stupid question.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

NVIDiA are probably screwed too.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

The answer is obvious, it’s completely dependent on policy. The interesting question is if we wish to limit inequality what policies do we need to implement.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Calling it AI may well be insane but it’s what the folks call it. And I think we have to discuss policy because it isn’t going away any time soon.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

I know it’s a non-answer, it’s a non-question.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Everything you’ve written here is orthogonal both to the question and my answer.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

That wasn’t the question. The question was about equality.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

That depends on policy choices. On a very basic level it increases equality of people have access to it. If you ensure everyone has access great. If not, then obviously not

For years I had the pied from the store and it was always shit so 2 years ago I got the great German stand

The 4 steps of Christmas

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah my daughters a fan of that last one too

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Does she care?

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe, dunno. If my kid turns it off I won’t worry, if she keeps it on, I won’t worry so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

My mum used to worry all the time and the fact I would phone only once a week made it worse not better.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Why would parents worry more about that with family sharing than otherwise? If they’re going to worry they’re going to worry

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

But the kids can do that anyway. After 16 there are no more parental controls on phones so kids can switch off if they want. There are some I know who don’t want it but a lot don’t care.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

I have family sharing with my teen and she uses it to find me. It never even crosses my mind to track her. Also when she couldn’t find her phone recently I was able to send the signal noise thing.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Sure as would I have probably, but that’s us, and tbh if I’d had family sharing through my teens maybe I wouldn’t have.
