it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!

romance is a type of friendship and im sick of people pretending like they're two seperate categories. your romantic partner is Supposed to also be your friend like at the very least why are we pitting romance AGAINST friendship when they r intertwined???? romantic partners are also friends and u can have romance with ur friends stop acting like these bitches are seperate forces

i do honestly think the fact 'AI' tools are being shoved in our face at every corner is probably a sign its not going to last. like it reminds me of previous industry fads where companies hard invest in something that isn't making them as much profit as they hoped, so they try any tactic they can to make it profitable. i think the bubble is gonna burst at some point, and while the tech will never go away it'll probably move back into the realm of technological curiosity and nerd passion project. to me its just a matter of 'when' at this point tbh.

Being sensitive is a strength—it means you feel deeply. But unkindness? That’s a choice, and a sad one.
