@brianluidog I actually do this for my writing and it helps a lot. Figuring out which part needs to be discarded is still hard for me sometimes.

Sorry I have to disagree with the AI writing haters. You absolutely can improve your writing a lot with AI. Here's how:
Don't use any phrases they suggest. Ever. Instead, ask it to identify weaknesses. Read through the list. 80% will be wrong, ignore those. Fix the 20%. Thanks

@liminal_warmth @KelseyTuoc @lisatomic5 Slay the spire already exists. We shouldn't need more math games.

@KelseyTuoc I have so many opinions about edutainment. Basically, I feel strongly that it's an industry hampered by demand for actual educational games, sufficient profit incentives, and also parent and teacher expectations about what learning should look like.

Games are great and you can learn a lot from games. But, I write for the Argument, 'edutainment' is usually 'a mediocre game as a bribe for doing work', not a game which is fun on its merits and also builds skills: theargumentmag.com/p/homework-sho…

@lone_rides Seriously, don't you have other things you want to buy? You would have $100 a week for hobbies. Or whatever.

“Saving money by packing lunch won’t buy anyone a house!”
No one said it would. It’s a first step. But if you’re arguing over lunch, it shows your priorities.

This should be the disclaimer that everybody has to check off before they start college.

Being a highly intelligent outlier doesn't negate your ability to be retarded, paradoxically it actually enables far more creative ways of being retarded.

One thing you can do is create this hype for your children specifically.
Make a this-is-exceptional level travel/fireworks plan, watch Liberty’s kids, buy flag paraphernalia, read Paul Revere’s Ride together, etc.
Do not succumb to defaults. Create a pro-250th microculture!

Something tells me we're not going to have this kind of energy for America's 250th. You'd think by now I'd be seeing "250" everywhere but I honestly do not see it anywhere. I mean this is a quarter-millennium here. You'd think we'd be exceedingly hyped already?

striking to me that this has 472 RTs, 4700 likes, but only 13 replies, and not a single reply is good. it's a pretty good tweet by itself, and a good reply guy would probably do well imo (algo seems to be prioritizing replies more lately?) yet they seem scarcer than ever

Had a wealthy friend tell me that the ability to decrease time to any outcome is the one skill behind every successful person he knows. A few I apply constantly: - Decreasing the time it takes you to get out of a bad state will make you emotionally resilient - Decreasing the time it takes you to go from idea to executive will make you wealthy - Decreasing the time it takes you to turn a failure into a lesson will thicken your skin faster than anything else

This is Les Miserables, Jean Val Jean steals, gets arrested, and the priest gives him more valuables and releases him. It forces Jean to face up to the fact that he has been a selfish asshole who justified hurting people. And that helps him see himself better.

not interested in the immigration commentary here but this is fascinating bc "jesus figuring out that effective nonviolent resistance is essentially malicious compliance, forcing hostile actors to show their asses to their community" makes WAY more sense than "jesus was just like 'let people do whatever they want to you no matter what bc that's what it means to be a good person'" the latter sounds like an insane reading on reflection but i spent 14 years in religious schools (lutheran preschool, kindergarten through 12th grade catholic school) including having to take a religion class evey single semester, and the latter, not the former, was the understanding i came away with!!

Man I loved his dark materials.

h****y p*****r: there are four kinds of kids and one of ‘em’s evil animorphs: sometimes you have to make hard choices that will leave you broken and scarred, maybe permanently, and you may never get to know if they were right his dark materials: attack and dethrone god

@___frye same same
reading the same books to my 2yo for the 500th time

@hei_br @liminal_warmth Yeah, the magic was satisfying, but it kind of makes the game play itself
English
@TisTireless @liminal_warmth Exactly. I bought it while watching someone play the magic-free run thinking that that was too wild, but that the magic would be satisfying. It WAS satisfying, but now the magic-free run seems like a fun and relaxing multi-day grind 😂

Recommend a videogame for my decompression vibe-cation
You win if it's awesome and I haven't played it (but the challenge level is very high bc I'm very on top of game releases)
Right now the front runner is probably Lobotomy Corp and/or Afallon

a wretched spiral that used to fuck me up
English
@hei_br @liminal_warmth Yeah, one of the rare games I wanted to do a speed run of after finishing. And I am considering doing a magic free playthrough

Usually you do this by digging into the complicated things no one else wants to touch

The best career advice is still brutally simple: become useful in a way that is hard to fake.

Isn't this why cohabiting couples don't usually have better marital outcomes? You moved in together for convenience, then that convenience binds you to someone you wouldn't choose to marry?

Every single male friend of mine, after long conversation, has confessed that they’re not really in love with their long term girlfriends. Their relationships are essentially heterosocial close friendships with affection and benefits
English
@visakanv @bioenergeticmel Yeah, this happened to me too. Third baby was a girl though!
English
@bioenergeticmel fwiw I was a little bummed for a moment to find out our second kid is also gonna be a boy. gonna love him to bits ofc but I was looking forward to maybe being a girl dad

@uberstuber Just something off FB marketplace that folds down since I have a small space for $60.
Figured I could see if I liked it before shelling out a bunch of moolah.

they don’t want you to know this but you can play video games while you get your government mandated 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity
