The cool thing about humanity is it’s almost always someone’s first time.

How does this work?

Why is it an editor? Often times I want to fact check other things, not my own writing.

There’s a grease monkey script that will block the call. It’s happening in your browser after text completion.

Same here. Instead, I get to pay for ChatGPT and have people tell me it’s inferior.

How does this make sense? Memorizing and then reciting copyrighted works is still infringement in a lot of commercial contexts.

Definitely isn’t. You don’t have to go that far back to find that obesity was considered ideal.

Beauty is generally more socially constructed then biological.

Opiates only help so much, unless you’re talking about using them to overdose.

Not everyone’s experience of pain is the same. We should keep that in mind and have empathy.

They didn’t practically, they did. There was a specific exchange between Sam and members of the hearing in which a sitting US Senator asked him if he wanted the job. Sam replied no, he likes his job, but suggested they could recommend people. The Senator appeared happy with this.

I believe the same thing. In fact, I believe people with ADD have a natural advantage in pre-modern settings. We are built to run long distances, outsmart prey, and forage. A distraction isn’t a distraction on that environment, it’s awareness and quickly thinking through possibilities and avenues of success.

I was wondering how far down I’d have to go to find this. Same thing with myself — treat the adhd and all of a sudden the drug issue becomes a non issue.

I had a doctor (not mine) recently ask me how I stopped, and with a straight face told her by taking my adhd meds. It wasn’t a real choice before that…

I also am like this. I have a co-disabilities that makes it near impossible for me to pick up a second language, yet I’m fairly talented at programming and have been paid to write in at least 8 programming languages.

A lot of employers do as well. I can’t think of a cheaper continuing education type of service that a company can provide.

If they don’t, your manager could probably get it approved with little effort.
