    @89th said in Long form tweets soon: @Aqua-Letifer excellent! You’re right. Especially regarding the “stop the scroll”. I have noticed an increase in videos that are split screen. One side with the footage and the other side is someone just watching it and nodding their head or something. Looks really stupid but hey…it stops the scroll! That's all it is. Jackasses inventing new ways to hijack your immediate attention and others following suit. I've said before that TikTok is social media fentanyl. But the thing with fentanyl is, you know what you're doing to yourself.

Anybody want to post a quick summary? Not dissing the piece at all, but the TL;DR is the headline. Left and right, there just aren’t intellectuals working today of the stature of a generation or two ago. I think maybe you missed my joke (Article complains about lack of intellectual depth. Moron asks for brief summary as he can't be bothered to read it) I've known you're a moron for so long I forget how funny it is.

    @xenon said in A month?: Apparently he was a VP at Wells Fargo. Fired. https://fortune.com/2023/01/07/wells-fargo-fires-executive-who-urinated-on-passenger-air-india-flight/amp/?itm_source=parsely-api I know at Credit Suisse that was out-of-policy.

    No, I haven't done any scripts yet. Programming is actually an area where ChatGPT can do some pretty interesting things. People are talking a lot about using it as a kind of assistant while programming.

    Why do the overs get initial capital letters? And what's with all the periods? And to be honest I'm not sure reason is winning these days.

    @jon-nyc said in Jan 6 Commission leaks SS#s: If you read the piece you’ll hear that it was inadvertent. It probably was just that - careless. Edit to add: Whenever I was sued and had to give a deposition, my attorney told me never to use the word "inadvertent." People take it to mean careless. Say "accidental" instead.

    @Copper said in The President commemorates 1/6: @taiwan_girl said in The President commemorates 1/6: The white house is public building. Should anybody just be able to go in there and walk around? Yes, I have. It wasn't that long ago that you could just walk up to the whitehouse, and you could enter on weekends. Then there was a line if you wanted to get a tour. The Capitol was wide open on weekends. You could park in the first parking space at the bottom of the stairs if you got there early. Then you could walk inside and walk around all you want. There was no security screening at all. When I become president we will re-open these buildings on day one. I think things started to change when President Obama’s good friends and counselors started planting and exploding bombs in the Capitol.

    I believe I read a book about the French doctor murderer during World War 2. [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F51rasonTa-L._SY346_.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=adc0e7651bb4f6cca64c19057af5681b6ab03d7635662bc1ce3fd4da9f753f3a&ipo=images]

    Singapore also. But they have a COE (Certificate of Entitlement). That is a certificate to allow you to buy a car. Started a long time ago to limit the number of cars available because it is a small island. The COE has to be renewed every 10 years (I believe). At that point, almost every people buy a new car, as it doesn't make sense to buy many thousand of dollars on a 10 year old car.
