Reason one million and ten I love NYC: Every single time I need to get my giant double stroller up or down stairs or up into the bus, a kind stranger jumps in to help me. Every single time!

Totally agree! I had a major ortho surgery 3 months ago and was walker-bound for the whole time. The number of folks who just stopped to help and give encouragement was overwhelming.

Protect yourself against SARS-CoV-2/COVID despite everything around you telling you itโ€™s no longer a threat.

This is enraging me lol. No one deserves or is entitled to my attention without my consent and willing participation.

You are not entitled to the attention of literally any other human being.

I have a version of this story with crate-training a puppyโ€ฆ.but it was a different bodily output (which was unfortunately fluid rather than solid)

Is there any connection to dessert in the same (sort of) sense to de-serve (clear) the dinner table?

I waste a ton of psychological energy being mad at the wordle-bot. Iโ€™ve had to abandon even looking at it.

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

Sounds like youโ€™re asking other people to do your homework for you. Dig a little deeper, and then Iโ€™d be happy to engage. But for now, yes, LLMs are largely useless for my line of work.
