@grammargirl I find I get different results if I ask for "short summary" and "short meta-description." It seems to know what I mean.

@grammargirl It could be a matter of compatibility. Visit poe.com and see if any of the other chatbots feel more intuitive.

@grammargirl That's responsible editing. Let it heighten your awareness but not deteriorate your self-confidence.

@lowqualityfacts I wondered about that. I'm like "shit, maybe those kids shouldn't have been killed," but them the TV's like "they weren't on the Blue Team" and I'm like, oh, that's true. I guess that's fine, then, but... something indefinable stuck in my mind, but I just figured I was off my meds.

@grammargirl I suspect many people will harbor a reflexive bias against an AI voice, regardless of the quality. I'm not one of those people.

@lowqualityfacts I appreciate their honesty, as well as their modesty: it sounds like there's an awful lot they don't understand and are unaware of.

Mom was doing chores in the garage that she should have waited for me to do, but she gets impatient. The stroke has made her impulse control worse. So she was putting Halloween decorations away, the ladder skidded out from under her, and she banged her head on the floor. Somehow, she recalled how to issue a voice command to her phone to call 911. I've been with her all afternoon, but no doctor or nurse has explained anything to me.

@GramrgednAngel It really was. I just happened to glance at my phone as the EMTs called, drove out immediately. She wants more than anything to live in her little home independently, but she can't keep pulling this shit.

@GramrgednAngel She's much better today. Amazingly, she got away with nothing but a goose egg, and she heals very quickly. To be expected, she feels some self-loathing at her own impetuousness, as well as the fear that I'll cart her off to a Home, which... not yet.I'm okay. Disappointed in my siblings' indifference. I'm told I'm a good son but I always cognizant of the ways I could be better. Going to watch a movie and have nachos with my wife, try to settle down.

@lowqualityfacts I was going to buy it, but I believe clicking Favorite is just as powerful.

@grammargirl Perhaps they call it a cross-member, crosspiece or, interestingly, a traverse.

@lowqualityfacts It was a memorable press conference when General Martin Demsey had to field that fateful question from BBC: "Does that include a kiss on the bum?"I will never forget the pregnant weight of those moments when he tried to riddle this out for himself, signaled to a staffer for clarification, and the expression on his face as the translation was whispered to him. "Yes, that includes a sweet kiss on the bum," he said with as much gravitas as anyone could have mustered.

@lowqualityfacts "You sonovabitch. I was so excited to find your amazing column of astounding and obscure facts. Then I shared some of these with my wife and now she's locked herself in the bedroom and is crying on the phone to her sister. I think I'm going to lose the kids, you troublemaker."

@grammargirl Thank you for that. I wonder if they'd go so far as to claim they're banning adult content on moral grounds but find nothing morally objectionable about Nazi content.Worse, if they claim it's their financial brokers, their banks who won't allow adult content... that just passes the Nazi buck higher.

Holy crap. I'm writing an article in Medium, outlining my history of being kicked off platforms and barred from financial transactions due to writing erotica, and I'm halfway through when Medium crashes.It's down and unresponsive. It takes a minute to get an error message. "I have no mouth and I must scream."

@lowqualityfacts I just realized, on reread, he thanked you for destroying democracy.
