i somehow stumbled across AI skeptics on LinkedIn and it is honestly so refreshing to have balanced takes (read: not negative doomer takes), so tired of the regurgitation of unoriginal thoughts. having ppl at work trust me (AI curious) with their skepticism is actually such an honor, i value them.

glad they're not mandating AI at work.
Are we falling behind in our AI use?
I'm tired of reading genAI slop.
there's so much bureaucracy to use specific AI tools.
everyone is still figuring this out, right?
do they hire ppl who don't use AI?
i could live without AI.
i need AI to take over my job.

this is my first holiday season in this neighborhood and i have had only 1 trick or treater, and 15 lbs of candy left.
where are kids going for trick or treating?? are there just not any in this neighborhood?
there were also hardly any decorations compared to the last neighborhood i lived in.

it feels so eerily business-as-usual but I'm still going "i can't believe they let xyz person go".

had a random flashback to a time when i was seeing someone, we went into a cute stationery store together where i wanted to buy all the things and he was like, "sure, buy anything you want" 🥹 so i got a notebook and a couple of pens and went to the register, and... he didn't offer to pay. (??! loll)

the fact that layoffs increase stock prices and provide shareholder value kills me a bit more because i hold those shares as an employee and it feels like cannibalism. financial security based on "the market" is unavoidable and one of the reasons to live on a farm with the chickens and goats

i cringe a little inside when parents, grandparents go on about how they're so happy to have babies because kids bring you indescribable joy in life. babies didn't ask to be born into this awful world, your joy should be independent from getting that from a child; what happens if they grow up to be

i haven't been feeling conventions in recent years, can't tell if it's just because I'm getting older (and more tired). this was the first twitchcon where i didn't even have fomo to initially sign up for the free staff tix or be "in" on the private channels.

we had company time off today, so i made this. when i was a kid, even through adulthood, i thought everyone did this kind of thing -- just make stuff from their mind. but not everyone does/can/wants to, so I'm gonna fully lean into it because i am a MAKER damnit. took about 5 hours, just yolo'd it.

how did you end up shedding those people who do mean things to others? there's always 1 in the group that was the underdog. then the rest who just watch. now the bullies do things for clicks. but at what point were you like, "i don't like this" and left the clique? what drove you? asking as a parent

went to IKEA today, was waiting by myself for a bit within the store, and someone randomly looked at me and asked me if i worked there. he was like, 'oh sorry, looked like you work here.'
i took it as a compliment, one of the best I've received in awhile b/c it means i look put together enough.

gonna try something this year -- end of year resolutions. compared to new years resolutions, where it feels like you're working UP to something, EOY Resolutions are counting DOWN to what i want to see get done before a deadline. if i fail, at least I'll have lessons going into 2026. if i make it,

is it just me or does it feel like my generation (and younger) just never really grew up? some did, but many more didn't, and that's why we still love childish things that give us joy or missed out on and why there's probably a billion dollar industry on marketing seemingly kids things but to adults
