Digging deeper down this rabbit hole — and by that I mean, more results on Google — brought up more of the same. “Never, EVER ask” and “you should never ask a woman when her baby is due unless you’re her gynecologist or you’re pretty sure you’re the baby in question’s father.” I read…
On a more nitpicky, “who cares?’ level, the so-called West is now associated with New Zealand, Japan, Israel and other countries that are East on a traditional, Euro/US-centric map. This West/East division perpetuates that these maps are more accurate than others. West is a cardinal…
Now, when people wait, they don't have to look around to find something to make themselves busy with or pass time. Smartphone is always there. Few people would reach for a pack of gum in boredom.
So I say we should be ashamed of the crime rates and apartheid of St. Louis, where this man managed to murder and walk the streets for hours. We should be more ashamed of the media that pushes this content on us. And we should be even more ashamed of the social media that prioritizes clicks over mental health, wanting us to see content we explicitly do not want to see, just because it gets a reaction. We should never shame the bystandards of horror for their natural reactions. After all, most of us would do the same.
If necessity is the mother of invention, war is the midwife of innovation. Speaking to Ukrainians on a visit to Kyiv in the fall of 2022, I heard from many that the first months of the war were the most productive of their lives. The United States’ last truly global war—World War II—led to the widespread adoption of penicillin, a revolution in nuclear technology, and a breakthrough in computer science. Now, the United States must innovate in peacetime, faster than ever before. By failing to do so, it is eroding its ability to deter—and, if necessary, to fight and win—the next war.
Did any science fiction predict that when AI arrived, it would be unreliable, often illogical, and frequently bullshitting? Usually in fiction, if the AI says something factually incorrect or illogical, that is a deep portent of something very wrong: the AI is sick, or turning evil. But in 2023, it appears to be the normal state of operation of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT or “Sydney”.
Citations at the end are the, “OH! NOW I GET IT!" of writing.
… And so, 'next Monday’ typically means ‘this Monday.’ If you wanted to say “next Monday” as I mean it, you’d have to say “the following Monday,” pretending not to care that “next” means “the following.” We are burdened by societies’ inability to differentiate “this” and “next.” But if you really want to prevent confusion, just say “the following Monday, the ninth.” In this case, proximity and day of week are relevant, and we forget the number.
Even with all the kind and great people in this beautiful world, a rotten minority can ruin it. The lesson is to ignore the rotten people and focus on the kind. I must have missed this lesson.
Around this time, I averaged a few dates a week. I enjoy dating more than most. Dating is what you make of it. It’s not always an interview. It can be like hanging out with a new friend. Just don’t…
“Forgiving, in other words, is the only reaction which does not merely re-act but acts anew and unexpectedly, unconditioned by the act which provoked it and therefore freeing from its consequences both the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven.”
If that doesn't work, you might be left with the terribly modernist thought of, 'I don't know'. Don't worry,just say, 'The instability of your question leaves me with several contradictorily layered responses whose interconnectivity cannot express the logocentric coherency you seek. I can only say that reality is more uneven and its (mis)representations more untrustworthy than we have time here to explore'.

I had seen guns before… There was the time I witnessed a man shot, at my temple. Still, none of my experiences compared to five minutes of my sophomore year.
People care deeply about stray animals, whether it's out of love or fear. Yet there are over populations of stray dogs, cats and other animals all over the world. Governments are not motivated to correct this issue, and certainly not in a humane way. It's time some rich guy stepped up.
I was at my favorite park, Charles Klor, where I often played frisbee with random Jews and Arabs. And, of course, my dog, Naya. Charles Klor is a place where different cultures converge. It splits Jaffa and Tel Aviv propper. Across from it is a large mosque, and it’s common to see people break Ramadan in the park after. Today, the city was setting up stations, stages and more, for a Women’s Run. Workers aside, it was empty. Tons of room for my dog and I to play. As my beautiful, fluffy girl ran from bird flock to bird flock, all I could of was our mutual bliss. Unadulterated by thoughts of work obligations and life stresses.
