Liked this: "In my world, you can have either potato salad or chips, but under no circumstances can one have both."

It reminded me that in my world, you can wear either suspenders or a belt, but under no circumstances can one have both.

Makes me think that one with both is untrustworthy...

The 24-year-old daughter of my best friend in high school went to South Africa for a job. She had a day off before her job started, so she took a guided a photo-excursion into a nature park. She lowered her window to take a photo, and a lion pulled her right out of the car and killed her. Horror show. That said, a lot of those instas are fake. My sons tell me that most of the animals-at-night videos are also fake. I guess with the nocturnal ones, it's easier to conceal the AI.

The AI generated animal attack videos are such a strange phenomenon. Two hours a day watching reels is intresting because it speaks to how these algorthms capture us even when we're cognizant of the addiction. Hope you feel better soon and can actualy taste that taco shop food.

The sensationalist content on Facebook and Instagram is incredibly disturbing and addictive. I am still

telling myself that I don't take it seriously, and it's not diminishing me.
