May we all only share and receive kindness.

Well said, @cokeslutgarbage

Oh no!

Anyway, how’s your weekend been going?

Continually inspired with amazing ideas. But the moment you try to write them down or describe to anyone else, they just fade away.

Like waking up after an amazing dream and trying to remember it long enough to tell anyone else.

Give us this day our daily bandwidth,
And forgive us our connectivity issues,
As we forgive those who disrupt our signal.

Wild guess, reading between the lines:

Dad had an extramarital affair. His squeeze got preggers. Dad is suddenly pro-choice.

Mom finds out about the affair and the pregnancy and is now mad at dad.

OP only knows what his parents have shared, intentionally or not.

I've taken to using a checklist on my phone that I update daily. However, remembering to use it is still a problem at times.

So my B-tier power would be Remembers To Use Checklist At Least Once A Day Man.

A fartiste, you might say

One floor should be reserved for running around barefoot on broken glass while bad guys chase after you to keep you from interfering with their elaborate heist.

You are in for a treat, friend. Watch it when you have the time.

Don’t forget AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Towing Service

I’m personally more a fan of curses of wicked inconvenience.

Eg, “May you never find the pebble pressing into the sole of your foot, even after you’ve removed your shoe and your sock”

or, “May you always run out of toilet paper when you most need it, every time, no matter where you are”

continues to fantasise about other such curses

They could call it a "fnorplgleek" for all I care.

Until they figure out how to prevent any and all fnorplgleeks from having the ability to injure, main, or kill another human being when the fnorplgleek operator wishes to harm you unlawfully, they can expend 100% of their thinkbox time figuring out how to do so. Like, pin their wetware CPU to working out a solution. Interconnect them Borg style.

If the response is "well no, not like that" then we recognize that it's a compromise that continues to put victims in front of said fnorplgleek operators.

I have a friend who is graphic designer for a small shop. Customers drop off work at the front desk, and depending on how much effort it works out to be, it can land on his desk.

Some customers insist on explaining to “the designer directly”. They get told/warned that it’s more expensive (hourly) and that the clock starts as soon as he walks up to the counter. And some customers agree to these terms.

It’s always entertaining to hear his stories.

Didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.

I’m imagining James Hong as the shopkeeper.

Man, I misunderstood the headline. I thought the AI had created a likeness of her voice, and SJ was going after them for that.

Which begs the question, just how unique are our voices? There's being distinct, and then there's being literally one of a kind.

There had been no raises or COL adjustments for years.
