Why is this post getting downvoted? More people should see this.

Yeah, it was at least a resurgence of it after the revolt during the prohibition era.

It did initially, but keeping people awake for days turned out to be counterproductive as a standard procedure, so they dialed it back a lot.

Honestly, based on the results it had on the Eastern Front, I think Russians attempting the same would probably be a huge gift to Ukraine.

I agree that would be best for the quality of the writing in the long run, yes. I just don’t always feel like sitting down to write something.

For what it’s worth, I walk or take public transit to most places, although I do own a car and am forced to use it from time to time. I could probably reduce my footprint further by going vegan, but that’s pretty hard to do for me. I mean, I’m not eating meat at most meals, but I’m not scrutinizing ingredient lists either.

When you said Gen AI, I thought you meant “general AI” implying there might be a better AI tool for writing. I think I’m just now realizing it’s “generative AI.” Sorry for the miscommunication there.

Wouldn’t that be bizarre if amphetamine salts turn out to be the solution to the invasion of Ukraine?

By default, yes.

What AI works best for writing?

What if we ask even more nicely this time?

Huh, now that I’m scrutinizing it, it does look both blarp and shurry. I wonder how that happened.

Ukraine and Russia should be in there somewhere. Nonetheless, you have captured the feeling of the current situation.

Have you had your Cuppliance?

I’m not saying I’m against it, but how do we get a live T. Rex and put it in a position to solve this problem for us?

Fair enough. We should make it matter.

We need more of this in civilization.

I want to like everybody. It’s going well, though.

Edit: meant to say it’s not going well. Oops.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’m not calling out people based on their county. I just pulled an electoral map because it’s a quick way to point out that Florida is potentially a purple state. It’s got a lot of people supporting civil rights and other progressive goals. I don’t want to see it sawed off and abandoned to its gerrymandered leadership. That’s what I was trying to communicate.
