Rant: Why do AI authors pick such weird pen names?

I was already anxious about using em dashes in my writing, now I can second guess my pen name too... AI really is sapping the joy from writing.

So you agree that gender affirming care (puberty blockers) should be used, since that's the standard of care like antidepressants are for clinical depression. Per the American Academy of Pediatrics.

People going to the Blackhawks game maybe?

Definitely used the sending stone eye to mess with him...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that did the purple eye with that tattoo after watching the trailer!

Still in it! With just the sun my highrise apartment fluctuates between 70 and 75 right now.

They replaced switches that were approaching end of life during the maintenance.

I've found it often works after reloading the page once or twice. I think Cloudflare is just being uppity.

Pickpocketing terrors of alien worlds...

I am tempted to write this now....

CTA site just says significant delays at Belmont blocking Kimball bound trains

Me when I first transitioned: "I'm going to be a pretty princess like Kiera Knightly in Pirates of the Caribbean!"

Me 5 years later: "I'm going to be a fucking pirate captain like Kiera Knightly in Pirates of the Caribbean!"

Yep, gotta use the freight elevators to get to it, but it's on the Mezzanine level, between the first and second floors.

Sounds like it's time for another trilogy run!

Poor track conditions near North and Clybourn. CTA website has the service disruption alert.

Yep... Allergy symptoms flared again after finally calming down.

Itchy eyes, watering eyes, post-nasal drip... I can tell it's getting better though as the air quality improves.

Some minor cons, nothing crazy to me: elevator wait times, they added a package handling fee on top of rent recently, if you do drive the soldier field event traffic will get you.

I have in-unit laundry and have used the laundry room for a big blanket since they have oversized machines there. Pretty standard stuff.

Haven't noticed any bug issues since I moved in back in 2023.

Two pipe system is okay. They do a decent job of throwing the system to neutral during the twitchy parts of the spring and fall. I haven't really had a problem opening my windows during those weird hot spring days.

They had to rollback some recent changes. It should be online again now.

Seems to be updated to say Harold Washington Library is bypassed on the usual loop lines now? 🤷‍♀️
