Rivaling Superman's physical strength is not the key to a good archenemy. Challenging his moral compass is more effective. He's best as an example how to use power wisely/for good. That will always be a challenge for us, but one we can meet.

My social media footprint is Mastodon, Bluesky, and a YouTube channel where I mainly post poetry videos to accompany my weekly site. I've never been on Instagram or FB b/c I don't take many photos.

I was on Twitter from 2008-'23. I find pithiness appealing.

Back to LLMs: You'd have to give the LLM a bunch of material for it to simulate your loved one. By contrast, when you remember your loved one on your own, you have the same good feeling and it's private, only for you, w/o giving up any material.

The thing about good is it's selfless, all about helping others, in fact against many cultures' idea that you must think of yourself first and do well for yourself. That's why doing good is unpopular.

Personally I'm trying to do good anyway. If there is a good afterlife, I hope to have earned it, but I can't conceive of it from this life, so I don't try. There's good to be done in the moment. That's what I can focus on.

This is my issue w/ afterlives, too. The belief that you'll have an afterlife can make you think, "I'd better be good or I'll get the bad afterlife," or "Who cares what I do w/ this life? I'll have an afterlife."

Ppl should do good just b/c it's good, not w/ a reward in mind.

It's close enough to 100%. Let's just call it.

If Gibbs never remarried, mourned Shannon and Kelly the rest of his life, emotionally unavailable, he might still have become the frosty person we know. After all, we didn't learn of Shannon and Kelly until the Season 4 premiere, as Gibbs recovered from bomb blast head trauma.

I can understand ppl/characters divorcing and remarrying multiple times, looking to be wed to the right person the rest of their lives. On the flipside, I also understand staying single b/c you haven't found someone you feel you can marry, w/ whom you can spend your life.

The number of Gibbs' ex-wives rivals NCIS creator Don Bellisario's, but Don didn't remarry out of grief. Don's first wife was against him moving to Hollywood to pursue becoming a screenwriter. Creatively, their divorce is understandable.

Gibbs' ex-wives show his emotional side. If we knew nothing about them, he'd be Mr. Frosty. I still say we don't need to see him marry them, just as we didn't need to see Anakin become Darth Vader.

Gibbs really seems foolish going w/ Diane instead of Lala, but that's the trouble you make when you write a prequel series and have to match it to the sequel series.
