I started this account to ask a favorite author a few questions. Hence the name. Now, he's mostly moved to Patreon, and I'm still hanging around.

On this day, because @elonmusk made the hard decision to leave money on the table in Brazil, where free speech is critically endangered, I subscribed to Premium.
This was a decision I was putting off, as this is a pseudoanonymous account, but, well, he already had my phone#.
There are at least 5 different types of stupidity in this world. Maybe more.
Young-stupid
Crowd-stupid
Alcohol-stupid
Love-stupid &
Born-stupid.
Then, there's what happens when you get more than 1 type at once. Like a born-stupid guy, trying to impress a girl, while drunk.
I had a thought, and now I'll share it with you.
Christianity gave us "Pascal's Wager".
islam gave us "Roko's Basalisk".
The rainbow has cooties. Just like the swastika and the inverted cross have cooties. Peter hung on an inverted cross. The Japanese still mark the locations of temples with a swastika.
People are ashamed or afraid to be associated with the group that has taken a sign for their own, so those people distance themselves from that sign until the only ones who use that sign are the ones who took it over. That's how they steal symbols.
I’ve noticed something. Japanese track emigrants for three generations, having a name for each. But I’ve never heard of them being interested in any generations after the third, “sansei”. Japanese people, is that next generation… dead to you?
I had to do it.
Phishing worms are a social disease.
I mean that both literally and figuratively.
You learn you got it. You tell everyone you have intercourse, (communication), with, including who you got the worm from. They tell everyone THEY have intercourse, (communication), with, and so on.
Anyone know of a way to filter out same-person reposts, while still getting the original post?
Some of the people I follow, as much as I like to read their takes, frequently repost their own replies, sometimes only minutes after the original.
It's annoying and confounds my attempts to catch up.
You can NOT have a Democratically Elected government, unless the People are free to speak their mind ABOUT that government, & any alternative candidates or systems.
Without Free Speech, Democracy, or our modern Democratic Republicanism, is a sham.
You can not drive blindfolded.
Microsoft’s selection of security questions is illustrative of what’s wrong with the left. That they can’t fathom that someone in your immediate circle would know your 1st school, or your childhood nickname, shows that “close knit community” is a foreign concept for them.
I just want to remind people. Trump IS out in 2029. The decennial census is in 2030. We do NOT have this in the bag. Speak up. Don't let our great Republic slip away. Keep the pressure on.
Tiring, I know.
Just a bit of black humor that passed into my brain, that I had Grok illustrate for me. I hope you enjoy.
ALT An anthropomorphized frog, standing upright facing the viewer, in a casual work shirt and pants, bare feet, holding a three pointed spear, (a frog gig) in his left hand (viewer's right), with a metal head and wooden shaft, in a verdant setting, backed by trees and sun. Captioned "I'M A MEMBER OF THE GIG ECONOMY"
I tried to get Grok to draw Trump playing Poker, while the rest of the Western world's TRYING to play Chess, (and China is insisting on Go), but it's not managing to draw this deliberately mixed metaphor for me.
I just did my taxes, using TurboTax. They're STEEP. But they do a lot of hand-holding.
Last year, I used OLT, and sweated. No hand-holding.
If only the free, or much cheaper, alternatives to TurboTax had Grok in a help window to provide some tax advice. Like or comment to push the idea. Maybe it'll trend and Xai will notice.
Don't play chicken with the 500 pound rooster. America will steamroll you.
ALT Trump and Xiping as roosters, proportionally sized, (with a third, unnamed rooster), in a game of "chicken", surrounded by tariff papers.
I need a filter to hide posts I've already read, after they're reposted. Especially when they're reposed by the person who posted them in the first place.
I remember...
When the news interviewed the factory owners for the Etch-a-Sketch. A toy that, at THAT TIME, were still manufactured in the USA.
Care to guess where they're manufactured now?
@Grok. Where is the Etch-a-Sketch manufactured, and about how long have they been made there?
Well, that didn't fire. Here's the answer, another way.
