I like that the literal rough translation of the Afrikaans word for society (samelewing) is just: together living.

Up to my late 20s I thought you pronounced lbs as labs, not pounds. Growing up metric does that you. 😂

You know that phenomena where people can't discern a character as different from their actor? I feel like I'm going crazy seeing this play out with people judging characters in Severance. It's different "people" lol. 😅

I love walking in America. I prefer my sidewalks to be a bit more natural and the mega big cars blow the trash away from you. 👏🙏

I should've probably just googled the street name. Should have a timer on the guess part too. 😅

Growing up in a Mediterranean climate and then living in an area with four full seasons is a trip. First warm spring sun in the latter literally makes me feel high. What a magical feeling. We're just complicated plants, really. 😅

Two recent positive side effects of LLM chatbots I see: - People learning the value of asking better questions faster. Garbage in garbage out on a broader scale. - The value and power of patient "yes-and"ing from these chatbots. And then implementing this is in their social circles.

The real mystery is why NYC does not have a Nando's? DMV got them beat, bad.

In an age of backups, how do you deal with your memories? Do you keep all your photos? Are you a pruner? Do you delete things you don't want to remember?

Timothee Chalamet's speech on desiring greatness is a proper beachhead for the resurgence of sincerity. What's making trying cool again? Response to AI? No ZIRP era? Disillusion with social media? Anyone have any thoughts?
