– the concept of leaks being translated by AI falsely. I didn’t look too much into the pokémon leaks so don’t spoil me. but I heard a bunch of things about it in my AI college class. apparently the first version of the 1 tb leaks were translated with AI, and apparently a lot of it was translated by the AI with an agenda in the prompt. so like the stuff with typlosion being a pedo in unused lore was categorically false. but no one seems to be talking about this bit of information.
– short sales of stocks don’t often make headlines. but there are tools available that allow the average person to make money, including helping them set up short sales or just helping with personal investments. with the technology at our fingertips, do you think that short sales are more dangerous or do you think there should be more regulations involved?
– there are three types of men: ones who know how to wear and style shorts, ones who know they look bad in shorts and don’t wear them in public, and ones who need an intervention.
– what is the best style of shorts? basketball shorts is popular, but if you go back in time they get shorter and shorter.
– are speedos considered shorts, and if so, what is the most appropriate time to wear them (when not swimming)?
how often does caleb have to get things from high shelves for people who are shorter than he is? how often is rafe in need of a taller person for assistance?

– some people never learned spacial awareness and are often getting in the way of others, knocking things over, or accidentally hitting things.
– so, here’s something gave me and one of my partners a bit of an existential crisis last night: the word “accusational” is not listed in any dictionary, and yet both of us not only assumed it was but regularly use it. do you use the word “accusational” or know someone who does? have you seen the word before and assumed it must be in a dictionary? can you believe that, as far as I can find, there’s not even a pedantic “um, actually” article anywhere online? is it just her and I that are bothered by any of this?
