I am mediocre at a lot of things. But the way I combine and use those skills are what make my skill set unique and what makes them great.

I love this. It pretty much perfectly describes how I got every job I've ever had as an adult.

Look at it this way: after AI replaces you, a lot of companies are going to eventually realize AI can't cut it. Once that happens, you folks will be in high demand. You just.. have to find a way to survive in the interim. :(

Well, this is the cutest thing I've seen in a while.

I could never get into Halloween because I grew up in western NY and it wasn't unusual to have a ton of snow by the end of October. Hard to to be excited about a costume when it has to be covered by winter clothing. I think the very last time I went trick or treating, I just threw a sheet over me and my snow suit and called it good lol.

Filial responsibility laws. There are some ways to get around them, but it requires having good parents that care about your future and a good elder law attorney.

Even ignoring the fact that he's a billionaire and that's what got him where he is, Musk's personality seems to be such that he is innately annoying as fuck. He'll always have yes-men around him because of his money, but I do wonder just how long everyone else in his current political circle are going to tolerate him. I'm hoping he'll be his own annoying downfall.

Well, he's got the ubiquitous "other duties as required" part of every job listing covered, anyway.

I kind of think about things like this a lot because of my family. My mom's parents were amazing. My mom was amazing. Her brother.. total asshole. My dad's parents - especially his mom - were beyond awful. Out of 6 kids, only 2 turned out good, and 1 was my dad. He's told me so many times over the years how he swore he'd never be like his parents. I've wondered before how things might have turned out of my maternal grandparents had been awful and my paternal ones good. I wonder how things would have changed.

The power of it probably does something for them as well.

Are you a woman? Not asking for any accusatory reasons or anything, I'm just curious about why you'd say that - if you're a girl with lots of friends with nude photos, a guy who's received a lot of photos, just a guy assuming, etc. Again, not asking to attack, even if you're just assuming. I don't have any nudes on mine, and I've had talks about this with a few friends and they were all "helllll NO" to the idea as well.

Edit: Though I do have some wicked sexy pictures of my bare legs. They are covered with horrible lumps called erythema nodosum, though, so probably no one would be looking for that lol

That is a rough 37. Whew.

 

I noticed yesterday that instances I have blocked are suddenly reappearing in my feed and comments, and today that communities I've blocked have also started popping up. I saw someone comment that Memmy loses the block lists when the phone restarts, but that doesn't seem to be the issue in my case; the lists are still there.

I did update to ios 17 yesterday, though I'm not sure how that would affect this issue.

Anyone else seeing this?
