Oh ick, lisah. The ice/snow stuff is so gross right now. I see the stuff thrown up on lawns by the plows and wonder if it isn't killing everything growing under there. I take my shoes off the minute I get in the door, even after wiping them, to avoid tracking that stuff inside. And then wash the soles. It's nasty.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, am I the only one who looks at my spam and wishes I had this many interesting real correspondents? They have such cool names, the spammers. Only when you open the emails, it's all about Viagra, or stocks.
I got some brilliant spam today that I felt like forwarding-- Viagra spam with the last name of other people on my email domain in the subject line. One said "for [last name of incredibly obnoxious bankruptcy associate]." and I really wanted to send to everyone who'd ever met him.

Except we don't have AI yet. Back then people radically underestimated the difficulties associated with AI.
I can't remember how long ago we had this conversation here, but there was some argument that the threshold for what's considered AI has been moved over the years. By some standards, "smart" automated customer service lines could be considered rudimentary AI (they understand human speech and respond accordingly, some are even programmed to respond to human emotion), we just don't call them that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Actual AI just seems too scary to me.
I lead a very dangerous rock and roll lifestyle!
Apparently! I had no idea about the Hidden Risks.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Katie!
Freezing fog sounds gross, and I am amazed no one has based a horror movie on it.
I love Shit I Didn't Say. It's very cathartic. I feel much better now.
Seriously
YAY! Glad I could help.

Man. Everybody keeps talking about going to get ashes, and it freaked me out for a minute before I realized it was Ash Wednesday.
Of course, I still have no idea what "going to get ashes" actually means.

Happy Birthday Katie.
I am in such a brain fog I can barely function. How am I supposed to get work done?

You go to church, they put the ashes on your forehead.

ETA: Is the board been slow for anyone else lately?
