unpinning this tweet bc it worked
New plan: Find a Husband. Then together: Start a vegetable garden. Cook good foods. Smoke meats. Build a chicken coop. Plant fruit trees. Make jam. Bake sourdough. Brew kombucha. Play music. Woodshop in the garage. Go camping. Paint the walls. Read books. Take a nap. Make love.

Darmok is, entirely unironically, the greatest sci-fi story of all time
one of the best to ever do it, from "Darmok":

all the baby things at target now are in this muted pastel color palette that seems less like anything that might appeal to babies and more for like... cultivating a "parenting aesthetic"

not like all baby supplies need to appeal to babies, but idk smth seems off with all the beige-grey pastel stuff. It's like minimally invasive child supplies

got one wrong (about astrology face)
How good are you at reading faces? Play the game and find out! Based on a datset of 15k people with faces averaged according to different self-reported traits.

ok it is actually really bad at coming up with good trivia questions tho like terrible theory of mind for what would be really easy or really hard

not a thing I ever worried about really, but I always had really terrible intuitions for whether or not people I met would remember me I used to re-introduce myself to people like "Hi, I'm Lisa, we met last night, at dinner?" until enough people had this "yeah, obviously?" reaction that I just stopped doing it. still have zero intuition for it tho

another modern quirk I keep seeing is "speaking on", like "I can't speak on that"? instead of speaking about, or speaking to? idk why everybody speaking "on" things now
I keep noticing people saying "reasons as to why" instead of just "reasons". WHY?? why so many extra useless words? aka what are the reasons "as to why" they say these extra words?

once I told my then 3yo that, when we went into the restaurant, he'd "have to behave" him: "I AM bein' have"
3yo said "I amn't" instead of "I'm not". I love this age where kids are recognizing grammatical patterns and applying them more consistently than the English language actually allows.

What career advice am I even supposed to give my 15yo right now? His favorite subject has been computer science, he likes speech & debate, is very social. He is skeptical that college makes sense at all, and I am entirely unsure at this point

idk it seems like the main interviewer started flipping to a new page midway through her response, or showed something to a second person (?), so she stopped the interpersonal/warm affect and changed to "I'm paying attention and will take this new matter seriously"
Holy shit. Watch her face change here #elizabethholmes

yesterday I had chatgpt help me plan out some gardening and it was possibly the most helpful use case I've had apart from coding

I've got broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale seedlings planted. Might add some carrots and snap peas

ok got it! next time 15yo starts an argument I'll go "TIME TO DANCE, BRO" and chuck a ball at him
Replying to @galiofgalilee
3. Feed the dopamine drop with rhythm or movement Music with a strong beat activates the ADHD dopamine system more reliably than almost any other input. The second you see the boredom-poking start, turn on an upbeat playlist or toss them a ball to catch before the restlessness turns into a brawl.4/6

I'm realizing people have very different priors wrt how likely someone is to be cognitively strange, vs cognitively high-performing like I find it much more plausible that Elizabeth Holmes has weird and non-intuitive motivations and reasoning, than that her motivations are predictable but she's just astoundingly good at lying and manipulating

tbc I'm not saying I don't think she was lying, just that it's more likely in some absolutely weirdo way than a calculated 4D chess way

it doesn't really change anything, artistic integrity-wise, if Billy didn't accept money for the documentary, given that he believed he was getting money throughout the entire filming
