Everyone has their "daily driver" now. What's that?
In former times someone was "looking for a new job" now they seek their "next role".I am not a native speaker, so this may be the reason why I think it sounds weird. Or not?🤷

Love yourself
Something that is quite obvious to me was quoted by a Master of Corporal skills
Do not ever speak negatively about yourself, not even as a joke.
Your corpus does not differentiate between jokes and truth on this energetic level.Words emit energy and they do eminate spells. The skill of seperating words in elements is called spelling for a good reasons!
Change the way you speak about yourself and you shall change your life.

Oh, I think I just realised what people mean when they say ‘have your cake and eat it too’. :gutkato_surprizita:
They probably mean eating your cake and having your (uneaten) cake in your possession, both at once, which is impossible. :gutkato_datreveno:
To me it always sounded like you get a cake and then you eat it, which is much less impossible. I mean, if you have a cake, then you are most likely going to eat it, and if you are eating cake, then of course you need to have cake. You could give someone cake and not let them eat it, but why would you do that? Who does that?! Really, the phrasing is just needlessly confusing! :gutkato_kapturniĝas:

Lyrical / contextual / regional / accuracy question:
If I use the phrase "gone off my/her head" in song lyrics as a person from Kansas, USA, is that going to be incomprehensibly British to my "average" listener (which is zero people, I know that, ok, I just crave CLARITY) or at best seem pretentious and jarringly out of place / context?Yea, yea, I know. Who cares.
I care about these things.
There's no excuse for sloppiness or ineffability just for the sake of "cleverness."

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
And . . . Do Those Sheep Hallucinate Bullshit?
(AI Detective FAILS for Your Consideration)
AI, Reddit, and countless website “facts” pundits: Prepared to exonerate the next serial killer to roam free, while dumbing the world down gigahertz a second!Who is running this Artificial Intelligence? This Fatuous Forensic Criminology? This Whole Worldwide Factoid News Media?
May God Allied Mastercomputer help us!
I don’t want to hear any of the crap from the tech apologists who are going to cry, “Oh, that’s not AI; that’s just glorified autocomplete!”
Your problem, not mine.
If it’s calling itself “AI” or the humans who designed it have labeled it, “AI” – as you can clearly witness from the screen captures – then I judge it as AI.
So . . .FAIL!
. . . Next!
. . . Another killer on the loose . . .
