A newspaper, if you will.

I’m tired of being told I’m a badass for doing things despite being in pain, or a wimp for needing medication, or that I have “legitimate” reasons to need it, unlike “fakers”. I am tired of people having an opinion on my pain other than “how can I help?”

Was afraid the new old stock cassette I recorded earlier was defective (it’s about 45 years old!), turns out there was a cat hair trapped in it in such a way that it caused occasional dropouts. 🥴

Layoffs in January were at levels not seen since 2009 btw
Step 1.) Start an unnecessary trade war.
Step 2.) Make Americans pay the tariffs.
Step 3.) Lose out on thousands of U.S. jobs.

And formally provably so because to drive you need theory of mind. You can indeed show with maths the limits of maths since it's a formal engineered system with knowable limits, see Gödel etc. We created trains which ban humans from tracks so the system can be safely automated, not so for roads. 1/n
These companies are always lying about the extent of their automation because some things cannot be fully automated in principle

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone
