I’ve written all of my novels in Libre office. Even when editor told me it had to be done in word.

Our other-side-of-the-wall neighbors had a baby. I'm reminded of my dad, who, despite being pretty misanthropic in general, always said he thought the sound of a baby crying was the sound of life, and therefore beautiful. He was wrong.

A fool might ask: is the original Joe run a bunch of good comics?

In one of Roadblock's first appearances he was so angry at subpar food at a fancy bistro in Switzerland he said to tell the chef the pate was a disgrace and "if I threw it far enough north, they'd call it liverwurst."

Sickest burn EVER.

It's weird when I see folks talking like "I've had it! I'll not use the evil evil genAI, I'm going to use the evil genAI!" considering MOST of us have about zero real reason to use it at all and even if the company is only lightly evil, it still burns up a bunch of resources. Just stop using it.

I mean, being a dipshit is easy when you 1) don't acknowledge *anything* about what is extremely well known about how LLMs work and 2) also don't acknowledge anything from the fields of neuroscience, computational neuroscience, cognitive linguistics, psychology, etc. etc. Zero knowledge = "freedom"

On that list I’d be very interested in Solasta 2.
