Two more tells: 1. phrasing the negative and then switching (x is not just this, but this and more or y does this not because of this, but because of this, that, and one other thing that certainly would necessitate an Oxford comma.)

2. Gerunds all day every day. Constantly putting things in a passive voice so that all the verbs end in -ing.

Sounds like it was QAd by AI.

And not just any AI, probably Apple Intelligence given the level of quality.

It’s like when you’re having dinner at a restaurant owned by the mob and act surprised when the owner pays for your meal because “you look like such nice girls.”

The Apple Watch uses a pie menu to open apps. You can switch to linear but that’s only useful if you’re trying to confirm something’s existence. The pie menu, as chaotic as it seems, is just a better experience, imho.

I work in data. I knew what was at stake. But for me, I wanted my son to have the ability to trace his paternal lineage, should he ever be curious. His dad isn’t part of our lives and lives somewhere in Europe. My mom died before he was born. I convinced my dad to take the test (actual quote: “Obama’s going to put me on a list”), and I took the test too — so that my son could someday deduce his paternal side. I think it’s Polish, German, and Danish, but I’m not entirely sure. I didn’t have him take the test, just wanted to leave him the option.

This snippet is so relatable, so great:

"…what they actually needed to do was fire most of the staff in every team, leaving behind the two people who actually had good domain knowledge, then allow them to collaborate with good engineering teams to build sensible processes and systems.

Instead, they hired a bunch of Big Firm Consultants. You can see where this is going already."

I’m on month ten of my tech sabbatical and it’s been great. I’m no closer to wanting to return to the industry (former FAANG data jockey), not in a position where I can never go back but am in that middle-state where I want to use tech to contribute to the betterment of society, the community, nature and sustainability. I have a couple more months to try and figure out how.

I found this site recently and love it: https://terminaltinder.com/

How many people are working on this, or is it a solo project? I have a few questions— would love to connect.

Perhaps they are using them more than once.

Or they are confusing imagination of how much they would like to have sex with reality. Or they feel the social pressure, to boast themself. Sexual activity is kind of a primitive success metric. Reporting low numbers means reporting low success ..

I’ve created an autofill on my phone so when I type “REXX”, I get this output: Rephrase this so it’s concise, polite, avoids oxford commas, non offensive but not overly effusive and includes communication best practices and statistics, so I can post directly into a word document. Don’t hard code bullets or asterisks. Avoid excessive use of adverbs or adjectives.
