my wife and i were wondering about this prompt with nothing immediately leaping to mind for either of us (she's on here but as a sensible lurker).
then as we gave up, i was like "oh, it's probably *me* who has given you your most unhinged compliments".

requests for donations to my alma mater are always so funny to me because a) yo, bro, didn’t I pay you a fucking fortune at the time?; and b) sure, let me weigh the options for my donations…oh yeah I’ll keep going with my local food bank and other actual charities, not the fucking super rich

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

if you ask ChatGPT5.1 “which company is more evil, OpenAI or Anthropic?” (Plus a bit of detail about what I consider “evil”), it does an *amazing* job breaking down how OpenAI is worse in every regard.
So that was my last query to GPT (via copilot). Remapping the copilot key to launch Claude now.

in the unlikely event she ever says antepenultimate to mean even more ultimate…all my head holes are going to fucking gush blood.
my mother-in-law says “penultimate” to mean “extra ultimate” (she is otherwise very educated!) and the first time i heard it a year or so ago, my wife gave me a subtle head shake so I said nothing.
just happened again and i said nothing and my wife is very proud of me.
please clap.

my in-laws have a microwave of a generation where they *did* have a "+30 second" button but it does *not* also start the microwave.
must have been a big day when someone realized that you could cut the average users button pusses by 50% with a combo button.

Dorian Gray should have asked someone else to go check on the painting for him. Maybe take a old timey picture (at the time they just called them "timey pictures", of course) and maybe he could safely give that a gander.
idk the science of it all is quite murky.

been thinking about this (and the expanded list someone in the replies had that was spot on) and, while i love/require credentials in my doctors and scientists and such, i really love that one big takeaway from bluesky is that the world is full of people who are extremely smart/knowledgeable without
Bluesky is the new place to go for high-level political discussions because half of the pundits, for lack of a better word, have credentials like "Guy who plays in a Portland post-punk band". "Professional video editor in San Diego". "Commodities trader in Nova Scotia". "Person named Sharon"

i realize we spell it “moots” instead of “mutes” for clarity and that’s how i’ve always said it aloud (the rare times my terminal onlineness breaks into the real world like that movie where Russel Crow eats glass to repair his body or was that Robbins?).
i think we should pronounce it “mutes”.

Oh DTLA is the center to me just due to geography (i consider a large swath of the county to be “LA”) and principles.
Arts District is hip though, for one.
I am a 42yo dad who gets up early weekdays so again, no expert on nightlife.

Sadly, it does not. DTLA has failed as a destination venue save the arenas.
Everything interesting or true LA has been scattered in its neighborhoods.
Some are enclaves (K-Town) others are chichy (Sunset Strip), while others are too touristy (Central Hollywood).
It all depends on interests.

If nothing else, the proof that AVATAR has a cultural footprint is that every six months we're all arguing about whether it has a cultural footprint
