It is getting scary. I want these videos (some are really great) marked 'made with AI' or 'the help of AI' when it's your pic or vid to start. Just as anything on social media, you have to consider the information, author, poster, content. My only social media is X. X has been interesting with algo updates, rules changing, a way to make money, no, rip that rug out by changing requirements. Allowing porn, Asian bots, Nigerian bots, scams, threats, then putting out useless Community Notes, 'shadow banning', suspending accounts for vague reasons, de-monitizing accounts I enjoy. From past experience (I don't waste my time anymore), and current comments, tech supports sucks. But, TOS did not require my first born, or practically a poa for all data, or intrusive emails. And I like Elon, a most intelligent, driven, energetic man. Space X, Starships, rescuing astronauts, datacenters in space, a moon base soon. AI is so useful. I liked the old days where you typed code, built limited databases, had control. Now, AI that learns fast, one talks to AI to build code for you, use entire terabytes of data. Scary.

Use milk instead of water to thin soup. Use real cheddar cheese slices, not 'processed cheese food'. You can't add this, but the best would be my mommy making it. I make her sloppy joe recipe and think the same thing.

These poor children. Especially when autistic. I have friends, neighbors, who have non verbal autistic children. These parents give their all for their children. Yes, it's difficult, but children need love!

I heard or read somewhere that if you post 'Beware of Dog' signs, you are admitting your dog may be vicious. And you are more liable when some idiot jumps the fence, opens gate, startles dog, and gets bit. A lawyer friend said "No Trespassing" covers more situations, works better.

I wore make-up when I worked. Needed to look nice, instill respect in a man's environment, especially when I was running things. I was in charge of datacenters for a major utility at the end of my career. Led a half million dollar datacenter upgrade one year. Meeting with vendors, buildings maintenance staff, electricians, UPS techs, etc., I wanted to look professional. It was hard enough to get new vendors to talk to me, not the man in the room who was there to assist me. Weekend work, though, it was jeans, t-shirt, no makep. Hair braided out of way. I upgraded our disaster recovery site with 3 phase UPS, better air handling. Then added transfer switch and generator as another department put their d/r in same building. Got them to pay for it too! My skin likes being retired and done with that, except for church. My mom wore make-up every day of her life. Always perfectly dressed and coifed. Made her own clothes, so always tailored and nice. She liked working as a bookkeeper. She lived with me her last 5 years, and she looked good every day, out working in flowerbeds, arguing with me about wearing a hat.
