We are all doomed to repeat Weird Science until the sun burns out.

One of the FIRE planning nuggets that make sense for anyone who can afford to do it.

FSAs are absolute garbage. I did those for one year, and it felt weird and pointless. Just taking a savings gamble that you might completely lose for no benefit. Easy to put a token amount that you know you’ll spend, but other than that, nearly pointless.

Absolutely, an HSA is not insurance. But, every dollar you put into an HSA from payroll deductions is exempt from all payroll taxes. So, you get a huge advantage out of the gate, and you can keep the money and invest it tax free if you want/can. Your future healthcare costs will usually go up.

*sigh* you’re thinking about FSAs. HSAs can be the best retirement investment out there, though that’s not what they are designed for.

Wait. Can FSA money be used to pay insurance premiums? (I know that HSA funds can’t, but it’s been a long time since I bothered with FSAs)

Yeah. And stoics aren’t known for their drunkenness. Dude doesn’t know what things mean.

If one can trial and and error a prompt for rewriting a sentence or a paragraph, one can just do the same thing with their own language.

If the prompt is scaled up larger than that, the writer will need to spend extra time reviewing all the generated text. There’s not a shortcut to good writing.

Yep. Most Americans don’t even know the difference between an FSA and an HSA. Let’s not complicate this even more.

Can’t wait til he starts citing @shannonvallor.bsky.social technomoral virtues!

Are we having another MC Hammer moment?

This must feel like an archeologist digging up their own history.

Wow… it’s been a long time for me. I think it was maybe Anti-Flag back in 2004ish. @donniejsackey.bsky.social you were there right?

Now they can all move to Florida.

Escalate to de-escalate.

Hate. My last class literally had an entire module on “AI” hype and still had 2-3 obvious ChatGPT Copy Pastas on the final essay. This was even 2.5 years ago. I guess they learned something because they didn’t even try to contest it.

Cogent and necessary reading.
