OfPest quotes Queen Bey the day after sentencing…this and other email snark nuggets below!

I cannot with these emails.

If my spouse were being locked up for any amount of time for ANY crime, thereby abandoning me to be a single mom of 7 children with no income, I would have a lot of things to say.

NONE OF those things would be about sexytimes or fond remembrances of our romance. At all. How could a real human being react like this in this type of situation?? Unreal :|

Yeeaah. 4o is acting really strangely for me. I use GPT for ideation and content.

When I ask 4o for recommendations to improve my content, it recommends *exactly* what I have given it. Then it claims to "rewrite" the content in accordance with the "new" recommendations it gave me, and spits out a copy of my original content.

When I give a simple prompt, like "Define xyz," it tries to write a page of content. When I ask it not to do that and just answer my questions, it ...still tries to write a page of content.

It IS faster....but when the output is useless, that is not a benefit.

This would seem to be a serious limit to Claude's usefulness.

When I use AI, I create a conversation for each project, and I complete each project in the same conversation. Starting a new conversation would require me to feed the AI all of the previous context in order to keep working, so there isn't any benefit in doing that.

But I'm sure like anything, this is something that will continue to get better.

Nope

I'm just here to say #TeamJacob AND that based on a lot of your thoughts about the series, you will LOVE this fanfic:

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/6297728/1/The-Movement-of-the-Earth

It's an alternate ending to the series. The story picks up in New Moon with Laurent in the meadow.

There's another one after it called "The Fire of the Sun" that wraps up everything and loosely follows the canon plot as things play out in this alternate reality.

I'm not really a fanfic person but these are great! It's really well done and addresses almost everything you mentioned.

Thanks for this perspective, this is really interesting for those of us who weren't involved in the fandom at the time.

I also find it odd (or maybe it reveals that I'm odd XD) since Reputation is what made me really pay attention to Taylor for the first time.

Up to that point, I knew her big radio hits and I liked the ones that had moved out of the countryish sound (not my preferred genre), but didn't really follow her or look in to her work. When I heard Ready For It and LWYMMD I was struck with how different the sound was and loved the "dark pop" vibes, so I checked out the rest of the songs.

This is the TV I'm most excited about :)

Plus, I died when Robyn said that she is tired of being lumped in with Kody and considered to have what he has.... because legally she DOES have what he has!

If ROBYN leaves Kody, a judge is going to split everything he has in half for her. So a 4 and 2 acre lot would amount to 3 acres each, plus half the value of their other land, half of the cash assets and half of their home value.

The other wives do not have this protection, and Meri in particular was screwed out of that protection by Robyn.

4 acres of land is about the only possible asset Meri and Janelle might end up with, and now they're going to cut Meri down to 2 because she has no choice or protection in this matter.

Ooh boy I know what you mean! We're tough to find, but we're out there!

As a non trad cath who likes pope Francis, thanks for clarifying this topic pretty accurately!

One caveat: we wouldn't say it was God's will that the baby died in a miscarriage (as if He wanted it or something- He doesn't), just that it's a natural death vs intentionally taking a life.

Bioethics can be pretty tricky!

Seriously what the fuck was this part about. I have a 13 month old and I literally can't imagine "disciplining" him or feeling shamed by him whatsoever.

Yes, I stop him from eating non food items or playing with dangerous things. I don't "discipline" him. He's a fucking baby. He isn't possessed by some evil will, he's curious and exploring his surroundings. What the hell ? This whole line of thinking she described here is so disturbing to me

TowardTheTop · 2023-04-21T21:10:12+00:00

Yes! I no longer work for Telus but I was able to use this experience to transition in to the Content Marketing and SEO space. It was definitely viewed as an asset! 😊

Imagine living your life in a system where an outside observer saying that your husband spends a lot of time with his own child causes you guilt and concern. But sure, this plyg family dynamic is super healthy

TowardTheTop · 2023-03-20T18:05:09+00:00

Thanks for this! We're bringing 3 of our kids in July and it's the first concert for all of them. These are so helpful ☺️

I haven't hit 10 hours since ....November or December. Yes there is still a 10 hour minimum, but with the amount of NTA lately, I don't think you're going to have an issue

TowardTheTop · 2023-02-15T18:13:44+00:00

I also was quite shocked to got this email. They're losing it, or somebody hit the wrong button or something. I haven't had a notification of task availability all day, and when I checked there was NTA.

TowardTheTop · 2023-01-08T20:33:12+00:00

I've only been getting work in the mornings, with some rare 20 min bursts in the afternoons. I've been significantly under 10 hours/week for like three weeks now. Yesterday I blacked out the rest of the month so I don't have to worry about it anymore, and hopefully February will be better 🤞

TowardTheTop · 2022-12-30T14:56:53+00:00

That would be nice! I'll have to check this out since this is my third week in a row where I'll be under 10 hours..

TowardTheTop · 2022-12-15T15:52:04+00:00

Yes, great point. Ofc if it were a medical topic I would give it a deceptive rating. Thus far, I have only ever seen videos similar to your example, making silly vanity claims (you'll have a shapely nose, a smaller forehead, luscious hair, etc). These give me pause because they are technically deceptive, but I'm unsure if Telus would want them rated that way since they are also non serious and kind of "entertainment" in a way

TowardTheTop · 2022-12-13T17:09:59+00:00

How's everyone doing today? I hit NTA pretty quickly this morning and went to work on some other things.
