I wonder if any women have a fetish for 41-year-old neurotic Jewish men suffering from malaise, indecisiveness, and a complete lack of joie de vivre

Olivia Rodrigo's song "Honeybee" is one of the prettiest things I've heard in a long while I don't know where else to put that information so I guess I'll put it here cheers

need to meet a nice Jewish girl who likes good music and appreciates the elegance of the State monad
has anyone else seen an AI make a grammatical error? Gemini just made one ("she frame her decision" instead of "she frames her decision") and I've never seen that happen before not sure what to make of it

this might be dumb but I can't figure out if the people in this short film are partners or not it looks obviously authentic... but then I keep wondering how they have so much wonderfully shot vintage-style footage from their lives cute film, regardless youtu.be/1mMeI2Fhk6w?si=rFkH…

when I was younger some people were like "you should do stand-up" but I never tried it because I was (and still am) petrified by the prospect of bombing on stage I don't know if I can survive that kind of humiliation still, sometimes I wonder if I could make people laugh

Twitter is a giant swarm of moths circling an electric lamp, arguing over which lights are stars and which ones are bug zappers I have to admit: it's a tough question

Replying to @KelseyTuoc
everyone's squabbling over narrow empirical claims instead of grappling with the real mystery: how is it possible for human lives to have genuine value and meaning in a deterministic clockwork universe? everything else is a distraction from this fundamental problem
