Thanks for the recommendation!
I was also needing another series to start, so I'll check then out!

I'm just glad my daughter likes reading, so she reads books that aren't like this as well.

I've seen this more frequently in my daughter's books. My idea was that it's related to people's accustomuzation to tiktok captions. Although, I hope I'm wrong with that.

In therapy several years ago, right after identifying my autism, while trying to do what the therapist asked and allow myself to be myself. I realized that I didn't really have a self to be. The various masks i put on for people was my identity. I'm still working on unmasking.

Why are you doing that yourself? You should have your very helpful AI assistant do that for you. /s

Autocorrupt strikes again!

Maybe if she does, we can get the fracturing of the two party system we desperately need and have a functional political party that's actually on the left and not just "left of the GOP".

Oh, they would never do that. She's several decades too old for them.

I was recent given a formal commendation at work for being "able to take complex, shifting problems and make them simple, as if by magic."

Regulation, helpful structures, and an intent before action approach is so foreign to many people that having skill in it seems like magic.

They think your messaging is harsh? I find it very measured compared to the reality. Just tell them, "This is softened. You're not ready to hear the harsh truths. You're still too wrapped up in your privilege to listen."

I've done that last one more than once. It ended with more days off work than if I has just been allowed to take a couple days at tye beginning. A couple of times I ended up both in the hospital and out of a job. Which happens too often to not be intentional on the part of employers.

I attack.

Success!

I write and correct process manuals at work. I have to hammer home the concept of assumed knowledge.

It is the single largest failure of resources and guides. If the guide is only good if you already know what you're doing, then it isn't a guide, it's a quick reference (which have their place too)

Yeah, especially when cutting veggies I have more than once thrown away the part I wanted to keep and kept the part that should have been thrown away.

Isn't life grand?

I don't want an LLM to hallucinate citations. I want an algorithm to turn my real citations from the sources I read into the correct format and also flag where I'm missing info for that citation model.
