I saw a lady a couple of weeks ago in the neighborhood we run in driving her golfcart in the road with a baby in her lap. One hand on the wheel, one hand holding the baby, not strapped in or secured in any way. At one point she was gazing to the right and strolled into the opposite oncoming lane where there is a stop sign intersecting the road where I routinely see people blow through the stop sign. Looked like an accident waiting to happen.

Serious question...Do you use Google to search for things on the internet?



Yep. I realize that AI is entrenched in everyone's lives these days.

AI is a tool, I find it makes me more effective and creative allowing me to explore and expand on my thoughts much faster than I could without it. To each his own.



Yeah, I'm not judging anyone for using it, and I am sure it is helpful with efficiency and all that, probably makes your life easier. There is nothing wrong with that. I just see the way things are going in our world now, and I don't really love it, so I try and limit my use of these things. Just a personal decision.

I have never used it before.


I have no desire. I genuinely believe that such AI kills human creativity and independent thought, and makes people dumber and less interesting. I am to the point where I kind of roll my eyes at any AI generated media I see or hear.

I realize that its futile to fight what is here and what is coming, but I personally am going to participate as little as possible.

because I think that a prank call is not that serious? Appreciate it.
Absolutely infuriating. That judge should be tarred and feathered in the streets, then thrown into the same jail cell as the murderer.

Went to Mopho on Saturday like I always do when I come into town. Didn't realize until after we left that that was going to be our last time going. Such a bummer. One of my favorite restaurants.

I meant the people acting like legal, criminal action needs to be taken on these dudes.

Idiocracy.
I can spin a basketball on my finger for as long as I want. And I can change fingers mid-spin too.
"That's some final destination shite...."
I do not, and I am very thankful for that. I don't take it for granted. It breaks my heart to see other people having to deal with this type of thing within their family.
I got a little lost on that last phone call between her and Coop. What exactly was Coop asking her to do(or not do)?
