Yeah I think they get bedazzled by the novelty of shinny and new. Which isnt a bad thingn its exciting. What should happen in general with all new things is exploring the depth and determining the best use for your needs. Then understanding and accepting it may not actually fulfill all or any of the needs.
Thank you. I play D&D and our DM was super hyped about some holiday one shot scenaios they got from ChatGPT. They were on and on about how they would never have to think about plot planning ever again. We dint end up playing them but I read the 3 different scenaios and I just wasnt impressed and I didn’t understand why. It was completely predictible in a weird way. After reading your post and thinking back on it the scenarios felt more plagerized predictable rather than trope predictible. Tropes while predicitble can be funny and charming. While a knock off reproduction is only enjoyable for its ability to miss the mark.
Anyway, thank you for helping me figure out how to put into words why I was not on the “this is amazing” train. I thought I just didn’t get it.
Knitting or crochet. All you need is a bit of string. But seriously one you get the basics there are so many areas to explore. You can of course make things for yourself or others. You can choose easy patterns to relax or more complex patterns to challenge yourself. Some people get into making and dying the yarn while others getbinto creating patterns. Also there is typically a community of introverts that have no problem sitting together to quietly work on their projects.
You answered my question perfectly! Thank you for the novel.
I can imagine the disingenuous narrative. I was trying to see or understand if there was a realistic or genuine one.
Honestly, if the root is discovered to be a lab leak the likihood it was due to a conspiracy to create and release a bio weapon is almost zilch. More likely people not following safty procedures through laziness and hubris while they conducted typical viral research.
Also I could be wrong but a $600K contribution to a research lab doesn’t sound like it would go very far.
So this was released to help show transparency? Other than knowing to prevent future outbreaks I’m trying to understand why people may care. I assume it would be to push some narrative but I’m not real clear on what that might be other than something that sounds like it came from a movie script.
Have a migraine, took my second to last “good” meds that insurance wont pay for. Have to pick up the meds they will payfor that make me loopy tomorrow.
I really should go to bed but I want to finish watching this medicore movie with my spouse when they finish changing into comfy clothes. I enjoy our quiet comfortable companionship.
