Sort of? I've got a friend with executive function challenges who uses ChatGDP very effectively as adaptive tech to manage her workflow. It doesn't really improve the "final end product," just lets her get it done. It's been a huge benefit for her own life, but not transformative on a larger scale.

Is anyone in the real world NOT using "Gulf of Mexico" to refer to the Gulf of Mexico?

I like it when people agree with my opinions. It feels good. But I NEED people who will push back and tell me when I'm wrong or ignorant or being a jerk.

Congress needs to make preemptive pardons legally ineffective. A "pardon" issued prior to a criminal conviction makes no sense at all; there's nothing to pardon.

That was my immediate thought as well, but I understand from context that the question actually means "do you believe that the dinosaurs who didn't live at the same time as humans lived at the same time as humans?"

I had a similar experience watching "The Hunted" in a theater full of Portlanders. It was shot in Portland and *set* in Portland – but so badly fucked up Portland's geography that the whole audience kept laughing at scenes clearly *meant* to be dramatic, but came off as ridiculous.
