After working a job in a place with no MS office suite, etc, I can attest that yes, you do grow extremely impatient. Now it takes me like 30 seconds to open Microsoft office - in my old job we'd use slack for most our communication and even when we'd open Gmail it would be 2-3 seconds. Markdown docs would open in less than a second. So after this job where everything was instant it was super frustrating to go back to Microsoft products. It's not only having to wait that's annoying, for me it's especially that I'm unable to stay in a state of flow.

Yes, being called out can be hurtful and even result in feelings in humiliation — I understand. Here are five suggestions for ways you can reply back:

  1. I am innocent, what is an el-el-ehm even?
  2. I am sorry for having betrayed your trust in this way, and will never use AI ever again
  3. I apologize, unfortunately I suffer from low IQ and my doctor has prescribed 100 M tokens per month to support my knowledge journey
  4. No, you're using AI
  5. (Paste this whole message, to make it look like a human pretending to be an LLM)

If you would like, I can also give you advice for dealing with your insecurities and dive into why you seek validation through upvotes?

This seems like it wouldn't scale well for more complex recipes, and for the given example I'd prefer a list of steps instead, e.g.

  1. butter and flour an 8x8-in pan
  2. preheat oven to 350 fahrenheit
  3. melt unsalted butter (4 oz)
  4. mix with sugar (1 cup), vanilla extract (1/4 tsp), and 1 shot fresh brewed espresso or very strong coffee
  5. mix with eggs (2)
  6. fold in ap flour (1/2 cup), cocoa powder (1/3 cup), baking soda (1/4 tsp) and table salt (1/4 tsp)
  7. add to pan and bake for 30-40 min

It's good to have loads of empathy. But it's extremely important to talk with the counterparty about who's responsible for fixing what things - I often see empathetic people taking wayyy too much responsibility where they instead should spend the energy on aligning expectations

To anyone not Danish reading this, the Danish word for diarrhea is diarré, but this expression (på Lars tyndskids mark) utilizes another word - tyndskid, literally translated as "thin shit".

But unfortunately I think diarrhea is the English word that comes closest, but still doesn't capture the magnificent imagery of tyndskid

Wow that sounds like an insane relationship. I guess she only really dared being herself after you moved in together? Hopefully you managed to get out without too many scars on your soul.

I reckon people have different opinions on "what spending time together" entails - ranging from

  • being in the same room doing different stuff
  • Sitting next to each other doing different stuff
  • sitting next to each other watching the same movie
  • Talking together Etc.

I was told to floss last in order to get the toothpaste from brushing in between the teeth
