Maybe some country will drop a nuke, or a supervolcano erupts, or america will experience a surprise land invasion and when any major event like that happens I want to be one of the first to know.

Now it never has happened and it probably won't in my lifetime but don't tell my brain that.

I think the tp during COVID was kind of a fluke. It could have been anything. Laundry detergent, some food product etc. TP was just what the news hung their hat on so it's what everyone thought about when they went to the store.

I'm personally buying rice, beans, and lots of spices to make some delicious meals and wait out the price shocks of food.

Besides that, I mean what do you really need need when it comes to this stuff? I can think of a few things but it's a very short list. Really we're just going to have to ride it out and hope it doesn't get bad bad

I don't just forget the to-do list. I remember it 3 days in, remember what's on it, and get so stressed about it I decide that I can just not look at it and it will probably be fine.

World might be a better place if everyone treated their birthdays like the Sabbath and celebrated and relaxed once a week

That's kind of my point. What part of our whole understanding of how to train dogs involves training them to be more independent? I don't really think there is any. At best you can point to like dog socialization training, but I don't think that makes them more independent, that's just training them to be social when their owners are around.

This is literally going to be an argument if people start proposing free daycare/child care :/

My main issue with this is that the way we train dogs is that we train them to be dependant on us. So yeah, she's training him to come out of his shell, maybe, but if it works the same way a dog does he'll only be loyal and listen to her. Especially because anyone else he meets won't treat him like a dog and will expect him to behave like a person without the expectation of rewards which would probably make him more adverse to others

Of course, he's a human being too so it won't go down exactly like that. I'm just saying that from the very first premise the way we train dogs is by training them to be codependant

I get that the glib answer will be "so they can make money"

But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.

A classic cult tactic tbh. Convince people that they can divine meaning from random nonsense and they'll convince themselves that they are more enlightened and above those around them who don't understand.

 

Do you just pronounce it like "Travises" like we do colloquially? Or is there some way to do it.
