Too bad nobody needs to eject a floppy disk anymore :D

I've gotten yearly performance reviews that have been obviously ChatGPT-generated. People are just lazy. Some HR systems even support that and have AI writing/rewording integrated.…

Are we reading the same letter? 1 Corinthians 13 has inspired millions. I think I know several movies quoting it.

I stand corrected. I probably went through the Freshman list only. > The Bhagavad Gita Well memed, sir!

St. Paul's writing has this effect on people. It's either a burst of love and joy or seething hatred. Never in the middle. :D > There are curricula based on the Great Books. List n…

Literacy and reading used to be cool and kids read because successful people around them did. I remember that being the case as recently as the 80s and 90s in my small post-Communi…
