Thank you! That suggestion you made a few weeks ago has stayed lodged in my brain since then and the concept just all kind of came together. It feels timely. Good point about the AI. There's still a need

Thank you @irvinc! From your description, the image conveyed exactly what I had hoped it would. It has sort of a dual-meaning—how each of us can free ourselves from the pitfalls of extremism and how I'm

Exactly, ROTC. They enter active duty as mid-ranking officers.

I just tried Crumbl a few months ago for the first time and really enjoyed it. They are sweet though! I think they got their start on Shark Tank didn't they?

Very true!

Me too. Except for a few cases I much preferred to work with and train people who had worked their way up. Most employees had degrees but management services employees were all from very elite colleges.

You can say that again. College can, in no way, prepare you for the level of corporate f*ckery experienced in the real world. ; )

Thanks wonderful Lizelle! I'm so happy to hear that. I always dreaded when one of them were assigned to our department. A few ended up making some good contributions but a majority of them used up vital

I was working the job I referenced above during the peak years of college degree-mania. Lol From what I hear from others still in the trenches corporations are beginning to soften a bit and value real-world

The power of propaganda is extremely powerful. Half the country has turned against what should be one the nation's greatest sources of pride. It's only a matter of time before people get hurt. Some of

A lot of people, I'd say a great majority, are ideologically captured to certain degree. Thank you!

I'm getting the same picture from talking to friends throughout the world about the current state of America. News outlets outside of US don't seem to be conveying the full story, or maybe they aren't

True Nancy! In the beginning it's so much easier to let others do the thinking for us and a lot of folks in the world never graduate beyond that. Thank you! I hope you've enjoyed the weekend....they go

Thank you. The vandalism of Teslas across the world was one of the issues I was thinking of when I wrote this, but there are so many other examples as well.

That's a shame they shaved your ring down like that without asking. Back in the day unscrupulous watchmakers used to do the same thing when people would bring their solid gold-cased watches—the gold dust

I've never tried Five Guys but it looks like I need to! I wonder if they fry in beef drippings? A lot of American fast-food restaurants are making the switch from seed oils to tallow now.

...and the agents and architects never stop writing their scripts.....

Looking back throughout history humans have done an extremely shitty job of governing themselves. The problem with AI-governance is once the genie is out of the bottle it would be very hard to put it back.

Thanks, I hope you have a great weekend Nancy!

It would be wonderful to meet you someday, Lizelle! I really hope to get traveling again soon—once I do, I'll be sure to let you know. I was hoping to make it to Amsterdam for the 4Daagse walk in July
